Gilded Christmas (& Fall Cards Class, Sep 12!)

9/4/2020

A great challenge from The Sisterhood of Crafters this week - "it's the thought that counts," that is, make the sentiment the focal point! Very fun!
I totally ran straight to our new Peace & Joy bundle for a sentiment focus today - how not?? I decided on "Bright Christmas" for my combo, and then realized that I haven't even tried these little twinkles in the stamp set - two sizes! So cute! I went with some fun fun brights to go with my twinkles, and added a few Gilded Gems to add even more sparkle! Quick and sweet, just right!

A Little Smile (& Christmas Cards Part 1 Aug 15!)

8/6/2020

Ooo, another tic-tac-toe at this week's Retro Rubber #140! Yay!
So, choosing my line today was all about staying away from that washi tape in the corner, lol. I finally settled on the center column: blue - rectangles - patterned paper. I got started by scouting out some likely DSP in blues, and stumbled across the remnants of my By the Shore DSP in the retired bin - love these water patterns so much, and I even still have the inks to go with! Looking for something nautical, I looked through my old Paper Pumpkins, and came across A Little Smile from June 2019 - just right! I kept things pretty simple with layered stitched rectangles, and a sweet little sentiment - I have to remember to go back through my Pumpkins more often!

CAS Christmas has a lovely new challenge for us for July, a nativity! Love this!
I'm so excited because we have a new one this year at SU!, with dies and everything! Introducing Peaceful Nativity, that has so many lovely elements - too many for a CAS card, lol. I hope I still qualify with my textured layer, but either way, it's been fun breaking this set in... I couldn't resist including the donkey at least on the envelope, and how do you like that fancy foil star? Truly, a wonderful celebration!

Stenciled Hooray (& Critter Crazy Class June 11!)

This'll be fun - The Sisterhood of Crafters has a stenciling challenge for us this week!
I'm glad to have this chance - I never use my decorative masks enough - like this cool quasar-like pattern from the Pattern Party collection. I mixed in three colors with sponge daubers, another technique I love, and just let the pattern speak for itself, floating a happy sentiment right in the middle. This another great one from Best Year - the inside says, "you did it!" to go with. Simple, quick and cheery - my perfect trio!

Nice! I'm loving the purples and blues in this week's color challenge from Inspire Create Challenge #070!
So, I have been seeing some, ahem, challenging, shall we say, color combos this week! And I have been seeing some AMAZING responses to them! The ones that astonish me the most are those that know how to just stamp what they want in any crazy old colors they please, and the surprise of it never fails to shine! So, darn it, MY turn! My Tropical Chic set is another set I wanted to highlight before it retired - I didn't quite make it in time, but LOOK how fun the crazy colored tropical leaves are! This is actually almost elegant, lol. I will miss this set more than I thought!
Tropical Chic Stamp Set (retired by now, lol); Whisper White CS; Rich Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana & Night of Navy Inks; Tropical & Stitched So Sweetly Dies; Frosted Epoxy Droplets; #ICC070.

Rainbow Grunge (& Man Cards May 16!)

5/6/2020

I am laughing out loud at this week's Less Is More #418 - scribbles, drips or splats! They said "splats," lol. Snicker. Someone tell me why I find that so hilarious!
Anyway, I spotted my old Ghoulish Grunge set from 2016 today while going through my retired sets, and decided to use the "drip" from that one for the challenge. I cheered it up a bit with rainbow colors, lol, which made it a perfect match for this sentiment from It Starts With Art, which is retiring with this catty, sigh. I'm all about making room for fun new stuff, but still, this is always a bit of a sad time!
Ghoulish Grunge (retired 2016) & It Starts With Art Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay & Gorgeous Grape Inks; Layering Circles Dies; Bermuda Bay Candy Dot; #LIM418.

Man Cards May 16!

Gorgeous - Ink{k}spire Me #415 has another cool combo for us this week, but I think I'll stick to this fun sketch!
To get myself going, I first went looking for a trio of shapes try out - I always like to strike my own trail in the shapes department, lol. So, hm, how about this triple load of goldfish to "keep us swimming?" Just the thing! I set up a nice watery card base, and a wavy background with my High Seas EF, then stamped, colored and fussy cut my little fishies. And don't they look sleek with their silver pearl bubbles? Such a fun time putting this cutie together...

Lol, The Sisterhood of Crafters has a fun one this week - use our new stash!
I'm excited to finally get some ink on my new stamp set, Positive Thoughts, which didn't really get my attention until I saw the AWESOME new coordinating dies you can now get with it! Let's just say, they had me at the fern die, lol... In a fun twist, I'm also using my VERY LAST full sheet of my beloved Lemon Lime Twist Gingham Gala DSP, {SOB!} I'm so sad to see this go, I loved this color and paper! I thought it was perfect for brightening up this little card of encouragement - such perfect words to share with a friend!

Ah, and the cycle starts again! It's never too soon! Here we are at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #108 - with our January "for a child" challenge! Hope you can join us!
I don't know about you, but our all-time fave activity when I was a kid was sledding - like, giant slogging expeditions that earned you soaking wet jeans and feet, lol. We used to dare each other to sit on the woodstove for longer and longer and watch the steam rise when we got home, lol - I may have scorched a few pairs that way, lol. Anyway, this pretty sled brought back those fun days, and I knew I had to use it! Good times!
So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see your creations, over at the challenge!

Inspired Easel (& Thank You Cards Class Dec 12 & 14!)

12/4/2019

1 Comment

Hm, today I'm going to take a stab at marrying up two themes: Inspire Create Challenge #057's "fancy folds" and The Sisterhood of Crafters' "trees trees and more trees" theme. Let's see what happens!
I knew right away I wanted to do an easel card for my fancy fold - I love these! So fun to have a card that stands up on its own, and this time I wanted to try doing an extended scene with it, strategically playing with elements from Snow Front. I love how it came out! The outside shows a winter landscape under a snowy and starry sky, then the easel shows all teh foreground in front of the cabin. It came out just how I pictured! Hope I have enough trees, lol!
Snow Front & Frosted Foliage Stamp Sets; Night of Navy & Whisper White CS; Versamark. Night of Navy, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Shimmer White EP; Snowflake Sequins; #ICC057; #TSOCTrees.
