Party Puffins

7/31/2021

Wow, In{k}spire Me #454 is celebrating a BIG milestone - 1o years! - with a birthday theme! I'll have to go through old challenges to pick something good - all the way back to #300!!
I decided I HAD to play with the Party Puffins today - I played with them at Sarah's July Retreat last week, but not for the blog yet! And these guys were MADE to party, lol. They even have a hat, snicker. Anyway, super cute little puffins, SO easy to color, and lots of fun birthday party sentiments to choose from - perfect!

Wow, what a party color combo we have at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #523!
Since I'm at Sarah's crafting retreat this weekend, I decided to browse HER stamps for this one - so fun to try on each others' stuff, right? When I spotted All Squared Away, I decided to give it a try - so many fun patterns! This is a really good one for a bright color challenge! Such party colors, I went for a birthday card - I love mixed fonts in a sentiment! I'm all geometrics today so I added a nice fuzzy circle to break up all the angles, lol. I even had some glitter dots to finish things off!

Retro Treats

We're on the ellipse this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #513! I can't resist adding in this yummy summer treat challenge from Retro Rubber #161, too!
So who here KNEW I'd be going back to my beloved Cool Treats suite for this one?? Lol, it was a shoe-in! I decided to do a stacked cone (at least I can have on on paper!) and work in some of my retired Berry Burst colors, too. I think they make a good substitute for the Watermelon Wonder I don't still have, lol. Anyway, I stuck very close to our sketch, except for my background oval. It just fit better!
I can't wait to check out YOUR projects at the challenge this week - meet you there!

Birthday Popsicle

Time for another recipe challenge from this week's As You See It #251! These are so fun!
So, it was a bit of a crush getting it all on there, but I think I made it! Starting with "birthday" and "patterned paper," I KNEW I had to use the Sweet Ice Cream suite, lol. I somehow focused on a popsicle, which I fussy cut, and realized at the last second that technically, I hadn't used a die - oops! So out came my trusty Happy Birthday die for my sentiment, and I even squeezed in some ribbon of the popsicle stick, lol. Thank goodness for the gold heat embossed speckles on the pop - that pushed me over the finish line!

The Sisterhood of Crafters has a "flowers as the focus" theme this week - what a great idea!
I totally knew I was going to go back to my gorgeous new Pansy Patch set, and THIS time, I get to play with the DSP - Pansy Petals! The pack has a few sheets with tons of ready made and colored images to choose from, that work perfectly with the amazing die set that comes with the bundle. These sheets are also perfect inspiration for ink combos to try when we want to play more with the stamps - so many yummy and unexpected pairings! I picked out a few of my faves for today's pansy-forward card, and just had to add one of our beautiful gold Bumblebee Trinkets to go with. The perfect finishing touch!

We have such a fun sketch for us to play with this week at Sunday Stamps #258!
I especially love the inclusion of those magic words "any shape!" I always take that as a mission to find something as funky as possible, lol. In today's case, I settled on some elegant seashells to fit the bill, over the gorgeous Sand & Sea DSP - still swoon! I let the paper do the talking today, and finished with a few Opal Rounds for fun!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects (and shapes!) over at the challenge!

Oh goody! It feels like it's been ages since I've gotten to do a tic-tac-toe - so glad Retro Rubber #158 has one for us!
As usual, I scanned the squares first for a starting point. Maybe because I'm hungry, the one that most jumped out at me was "cake," lol. From there, it was an easy choice to go with the horizontal from there - cake, heat-embossing, flowers. And I knew right away what set I wanted to use! I have always loved this gorgeous cake in LAST year's Sale-a-Bration set, Happy Birthday to You, and we even eventually got some cool dies to play with as well - can we call that the icing on the cake? Yes, we can! I brought in some Purple Posy, since I'm just not ready to say goodby to that yet, either, heat embossed in gold, and colored everything up in some soft Blends. I just love it!

I really like this month's challenge at The Male Room #150 - a "water or beach" theme! Perfect!
I couldn't help but turn back to my beloved Whale Done set, and of course, the gorgeous-but-now-retired DSP! Seriously, I know I've said it before, but I think this is my all-time fave DSP ever, lol. Anyway, I just HAD to let the paper do all the heavy lifting today! I haven't used this sheet yet, and it seems so perfect for this fishy little sentiment, lol. I kept it simple with one of our new Tailor Made Tag shapes, too - sometimes the simple is the best!

It's mix-it-up time at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #507! What a challenge!
I decided this sketch was perfect for including a split -window feature on my card front - so I can mix it up with BOTH sides of our challenge! I am delighted to showcase one of our gorgeous new suites, too - Sweet As A Peach! As soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be on my first order, lol - I LOVE peaches! The DSP is so very pretty, too, with delicate watercolor peachy designs, as I highlighted with today's sheet. Ah, my mouth is watering, lol.
I can't wait to see YOU mic it up with us this week - meet you at the challenge!

This should be interesting - Cardz 4 Guyz #270 has a "monochromatic" challenge this week!
I can't help but think of "stamping off" when I think monochrome - such a great way to get different shades of the same color! What could I do this way that would be masculine enough? Mountain Air to the rescue! I decided a lovely receding landscape of manly pine trees would be just the thing, and I did it all up in Shaded Spruce to go along, lol. In the end, I added one of the gorgeous fancy die-cut trees along the left edge, too - so pretty, and NOT fussy!
