 Now this is a sweet theme - Shopping Our Stash #529 wants us to create a "just because" card! Well, first I had to really root around and find the sentiment, lol. I finally spotted this one (shh, in the for sale box, lol) in Lovely You, which retired last year! I really loved that it mixed the fonts in the sentiments - my favorite look! Since this was a "just because," I decided I wanted it to be kind of Fall-y, and since I had spotted some old Rings of Love DSP while sorting through my stash, I knew just what sheet I wanted to feature! I pulled this pretty oak leaf and acorn sheet, and even fussy cut one little spray to feature with the sentiment. I even still have some Soft Suede to go with it all! I layered up some retired oval punches, and found a little wooden accent, too. A few chocolatey sequins finishes things off! So fun! Lovely You Stamp Set (retired 2023); Rings of Love DSP (retired); Basic White & Soft Suede (retired) CS; Soft Suede Ink (retired); Large Oval & Scalloped Oval Punches (both retired); Tags & Feathers Elements (retired); Neutrals Sequins; #SOS529.

 I'm really liking the theme at this round's Shopping Our Stash #527 - "Up Up & Away!" Time for more balloons! I first went shopping for some balloon images - isn't there an old one of a puppy flying away? A birthday chicken? I feel like I just did hot air balloons, so I wanted to go for party balloons this time! Then I spotted Silly Goose - YES! Now for the DSP - I could dimly remember a colorful sheet that was COVERED in party balloons - which led me to my old pack of Birthday Bonanza DSP - I think from 2020? Perfect! I set up my background, stamped up my goose on a Deckled Rectangle, and did some minimal coloring in Mango Melody and Bermuda Bay - so perfect! I even scrounged up some Bermuda Bay Stitched Ribbon! Up, up and away! Silly Goose Stamp Set (retired 2024); Birthday Bonanza DSP (retired); Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mango Melody & Bermuda Bay Blends Markers (both retired); Color Lifter; Deckled Rectangle Dies; Bermuda Bay Stitched Ribbon; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #SOS527.

Such a fun layered sketch at this round's Sketch Saturday #756, and so many great spins on it by the DT! I decided I really wanted to turn this sketch - I feel like I've been on landscape a lot lately, lol, time to bring back the portrait! With these layered blocks, I knew I could feature a bold DSP, too, so straight to Flowering Zinnias I went! These are SUCH bright colors - they are sure to cheer up the gloomiest day! I started by picking a gorgeous feature zinnia to fussy cut, then added in these bright Melon Mambo panels behind. I didn't quite have enough room to add my sentiment directly to the background white, but this gave me the chance to heat emboss it over a nice Blackberry strip. I think I need a nice melon berry spritzer now, lol! I finished with some Fine Shimmer Gems for the fizz! Yum! Simply Zinnias Stamp Set; Flowering Zinnias DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Versamark Ink; White EP; Blackberry Bliss Fine Shimmer Gems; #SS756.   Snow in August Class Saturday August 17!

I LOVE our playful bold colors at As You See It #327 this round! These condos totally reminded me of the fun row houses you see in beach towns - so I went straight for my Beach Day set! Since I was limited by our colors, I chose a few key items that I knew would look great in them, and I left the "beach" part in black and white, lol. So fun to arrange a cozy little fun day at the beach with my pieces! I floated it all over this sunny sheet of Daffodil Delight DSP, and finished with a few Shiny Sequins - bring on the rays! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun colors - meet you at the challenge! Beach Day Stamp Set; Daffodil Delight DSP; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Granny Apple Green Inks; Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple Green Blends Markers; Beach Day & Stylish Shapes Dies; Yellow Shiny Sequins; #AYSI327.

As usual when I'm pressed for time, I turned to my DSP, lol, and this time, I even had some cuties already cut out - super cheating! I think I can say that our whole Latte Love suite is firmly in my Top 5 Favorites-of-all-SU-time, perhaps even in the #1 spot! I love the images, the sentiments and the DSP SO MUCH, and the Swirl Dots, too! For today's card, I pulled out all my Latte stuff and started the clock. Since I knew I had pre-cut pieces in my DSP, I didn't start digging through those til time had started at least, AND I included the envelope flap in my time, too - gotta be fair, lol. I even inked up some coffee splatter for my bare edge - just right! 7 minutes and 43 seconds is just right for a cuppa! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy thank yous - meet you at the challenge! Go go go! Latte Love Stamp Set; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White & Pecan Pie CS; Early Espresso & Pecan Pie Inks; Latte Love Dies; White Baker's Twine; Swirly Dots; #AYSI325.

I'm so thrilled that I have a super sweet step-mother that I get to send cards to, now, lol, and I was just tickled thinking about her while I made this card! Welcoming Window is definitely an under-used set in my collection, but I still love it! So many fun things we can set in the cutest window, and so I have lots of flowers for Karen! Pretty greens and yellow, with Boho Blue trim on the cool window - love it! A few butterflies add just the right finishing touch! I can't wait to send this to her!

I even have the add-on dies, The Love of Spring, that has this gorgeous daffodil die in it! I did all my coloring in Blends markers this time - though I also love to do these with Water Painters - another great look! And of course, I couldn't resist floating everything over this glorious Gingham Gala DSP sheet in Lemon Lime Twist - my little hoard is dwindling!

Such a sweet sketch this week at In{k}spire Me #528 - I'm letting the color challenge that goes with it slide, lol. I feel like I'm doing terrible at color challenges these days! In an effort to play other stamp sets besides my current favorite coffee set, lol, I turned to Bright Skies - those beautiful clouds are perfect for the sketch! I even still have a bit of the SAB paper still for it, so I fussy cut two particular fancy clouds I wanted for my card front! I really liked this encouraging sentiment, too, and then I finished with a few bright gems. Quick and pretty! Bright Skies Stamp Set; Sunny Days DSP; Basic White, Basic Gray & Pool Party CS; Basic Gray Ink; Banner Triple Punch; Iridescent Pastel Gems; #IMC528.   Thank You Cards 2024 Class March 9!
Time for a little appreciation! This class will make 6 beautiful Thank You cards with envelopes, and includes all supplies needed (bring your favorite snips and adhesive!) as well as snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Saturday, March 9 at 2 pm! RSVP today to save your spot!  Lol, we have such an awesome fill-in-the-blank challenge for you this round at As You See It #316! What was YOUR latest crafting purchase?? My latest stamp set is the Quiet Reflection set, which I got for an upcoming class. I sometimes find the DistINKtive style of stamps a little challenging to work with, but this one went more smoothly than for me! After a couple experiments, I opted for this "stamped off" version, as a little softer in my chosen colors, and then I layered everything up to the max using my Rectangle Stitched dies. I was able to sneak in a couple SAB goodies, too - love that! I can't wait to get a peek at YOUR new toys! Meet you at the challenge! Quiet Reflection Stamp Set; Softly Stippled DSP; Basic White, Pebbled Path & Calypso Coral CS; Calypso Coral & Pebbled Path Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Calypso Coral Opague Faceted Gems; Calypso Coral Baker's Twine; #AYSI316.

We're kicking off our stampin' year with this wonderful sketch at As You See It #314! Ahhhh, my two favorite words, "any shape!" Challenge accepted, lol! What a perfect chance to break in the super cute Planted Paradise set - we were given this set for free as part of a recent event, and it had me stumped for a while! There are no sentiments with it, so I matched it with the now-available Heartfelt Hellos, a set you can earn FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! When a stamp set bogs me down, my first instinct is to go crazy with the color - I think that fixes everything, lol, so I have a colorful array of pretty pots arranged around my bold sentiment. So fun! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our pretty sketch - meet you at the challenge! Planted Paradise & Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Sets; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green Inks; Basics 2 EF; Lemon Lime Twist Tinsel Gems; #AYSI314.
