I love our layered sketch this round at Retro Rubber #210! Since it's Independence Day today here in the US, I knew I wanted to do a red, white and blue theme, but I wanted to make it birthday - my sister-in-law's birthday is today! I like to give a nod to the day without a patriotic theme necessarily - I think she sees a lot of that, lol. Anyway, our old Sweet Strawberry and Berry Blessings stamp sets from 2021 seem just right for my color idea! I chose some playful In Colors to go with our returned Misty Moonlight, and I love it! What a fun sketch! I can't wait to see YOUR fun cards with our layout this round - meet you at the challenge! Sweet Strawberry (retired 2022) & Berry Blessings (retired 2021) Stamp Sets; Tahitian Tide & Misty Moonlight DSP (both retired patterns); Basic White & Misty Moonlight CS; Misty Moonlight, Sweet Sorbet & Granny Apple Green Inks; Strawberry Builder Punch (retired); Cheerful Daisies Dies; Sweet Sorbet Matte Dots; #RRCB210.

We want to see all things Birthday this round at Make My Monday #204! I hope there's balloons! I myself skipped the balloons and went for the kiwis, lol. I have no idea why, but I am smitten by our new Hello Kiwi set! So cute and playful, I couldn't resist finally inking it up for our birthday challenge! I decided to play up the green and black, and I added some juicy touches with the Spatters EF on my black layer, though it doesn't show very well. I was happy to discover that the kiwis were easy to punch out with a 2" Circle Punch, and I did them in both Granny Apple Green AND Lemon Lime Twist! The kiwi sentiment was a cinch to mask so I could use my Granny Apple Stamp-n-Write marker for the "kiwi" - something I can use my washi tape on at last, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR fun birthday projects - meet you at the challenge! Hello Kiwi Stamp Set; Dandy Designs DSP (retired); Basic White, Granny Apple Green & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Granny Apple Green & Lemon Lime Twist Inks; Granny Apple Green Stamp-n-Write Marker; 2" Circle Punch; Spatters EF; Parakeet Party Matte Dots; #MMM204. We have some summer fun inspiration for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #417! Well, I took a funny turn with this one, lol. I was most struck by the top two images in our medley - I have had ice cream on the brain SO BAD lately, lol. All I could think of was walking on the sand, polishing off a big boardwalk cone, with the sand between my toes! So that's what I ended up doing! I couldn't resist my Share a Milkshake dies for me cone, and I turned to the still-gorgeous Friends Are Like Seashells set for my starfish and beach. A handy sheet of the also-retired By The Bay DSP was the perfect backdrop to dress up, too! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on this fun summery scene - meet you at the challenge! Friends Are Like Seashells (retired 2023); By The Bay DSP (retired); Basic White, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand (retired), Very Vanilla & Early Espresso CS; Sahara Sand (retired), Early Espresso & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Blender Pen; Share a Milkshake, Seaside Seashells (retired) & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Night of Navy Baker's Twine; Faux Sea Glass Shapes (retired); #HSS417.

Lol, Shopping Our Stash #498 would like to "hear it for the boys" this week with their masculine challenge! June is Man Month, right?? I have a very manly taco to present for today's card, and I get to use up some retired DSP at the same time, too! Poppy Parade is perfect for a Taco Fiesta! Anyway, at the last second, I decided to go all topsy-turvy, too, it adds even more fun to this punny card, lol. I love coloring the little images in this one, and fussy cutting adds huge oomph, too... Now, I'm hungry! Taco Fiesta Stamp Set; Poppy Parade DSP (retired); Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Black Baker's Twine; Matte Black Dots; #SOS498. Yay! Time for another NBUS #51 - I ALWAYS have goodies to get out there! Today I couldn't resist finally breaking into my Zoo Crew DSP, that goes with the Zany Zoo bundle. I really haven't done much with this suite yet because I know I'll be playing with it for Critter Class next month, but I can't take it anymore! The DSP is really causing conflicts for me, lol - EVERY SHEET is chock full of adorable busy critters that coordinate with the stamp set, and I don't want to miss out on a single one of them! Somehow, I can't picture ever using any of the awesome black and white patterns on the backs at this point, lol. For today, I did a little collection of the band members for you, belting out the Birthday song! So glad I LIKE fussy cutting! Zany Zoo Stamp Set; Zoo Crew DSP; Basic White & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake Blend Marker; Stylish Shapes Dies; Merry Melody EF; Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon Duo; Parakeet Party Matte Dots; #NBUS51. I love all the fun layers in our landscape sketch this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #416! I to say, I'm also combining this with a little color challenge I issued to my team, lol - combine any of our newest In Colors with Blackberry Bliss! I think it works with ANY of them, but today I went with Wild Wheat, and I pulled out my preview set of Translucent Florals, too. Our blocky layers are perfect for showing off these color wheel opposites - love it! I layered up some DSP scraps for my background, and featured some flowers and stems on my circle - just right! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for this sweet sketch - meet you at the challenge! Translucent Florals Stamp Set; Fresh As a Daisy & Blackberry Bliss DSP; Basic White, Wild Wheat & Blackberry Bliss CS; Blackberry Bliss, Wild Wheat & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Translucent Florals & Stylish Shapes Dies; Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon; Wild Wheat In Color Dots; #HSS416. Oh yes, I have been WAITING for this day! If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #181 is for purple - my favorite color! Yay! Since we're celebrating purple - at least I am, lol - I wanted to pull in multiple purple! Yum! A great way to do that would be to stack a big old ice cream cone, don't you think? Share a Milkshake to the rescue! I dipped into my still-standing-by retired colors and found a stripey sheet of Rich Razzleberry DSP, so I took my cue from there! I added a touch of Crumb cake, so I could cut a big waffle cone from the awesome Share a Milkshake dies, and then stacked scoops in Rich Razzleberry, Berry Burst & Fresh Freesia. I even finished with a "black cherry" in more Razzleberry, lol. Let's hear it for the purple! Share a Milkshake Stamp Set; Rich Razzleberry DSP; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Fresh Freesia CS; Rich Razzleberry, Berry Burst & Fresh Freesia Inks; Share a Milkshake & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon; Fresh Freesia Opaque Gems; #Cookie181. I have another new combo from In{k}spire Me #507 to play today - LOVE both sides of this one! I quickly settled on So Refreshing for my stamp set - how not?? I am seeing so many lovely refreshing drink pitchers out there with it, limeade was NOT a big leap for me, lol. The only thing left to decide was how to fit in the rest of my colors! I did a background layer in black, to set off my favorite retired pattern of Pool Party DSP, then got to work on my limeade spread, complete with Crumb Cake tablecloth, lol. Such fun! I played a lot with stamping, stamping off, and even double stamping to get various shades of my Lemon Lime Twist - so easy with photopolymer! At the last second, I dug out a retired Have a Cuppa embellie to squeeze in - just right! So Refreshing Stamp Set; Pool Party DSP; Basic White, Basic Black, Crumb Cake & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Lemon Lime Twist & Pool Party Inks; So Refreshing & Stylish Shapes Dies; White Baker's Twine; Have a Cuppa Embellishment (retired); #IMC507. We're indulging in some sweet summer colors this round at Retro Rubber 208! For this round, I knew I needed to go back to 2018's Cool Treats set - so perfect! I stacked some ice cream scoops in my colors, and even snuck in our new Pecan Pie for the cone, and some Poppy Parade for the cherry - all about the food today, lol! I have definitely had ice cream on the brain this week - yum! I can't wait to see YOUR color choices in action - make it SWEET!

Yes, I broke my little cardinal rule (yuk, yuk) and got the Bird's Eye View stamp set, even though it doesn't have any sentiments in it, only the completely adorable images! These guys are hilarious, especially when start giving them all glasses to peer through! I pulled out this happy sheet from my stash of the now-retired Dandy Designs DSP, and did up a birdie trio to match! So fun to color! I added a birthday sentiment from Artistically Inked, though I have a feeling that I'll be pulling from some retired birdie sets at some point, too, lol.
