Anyway, I couldn't resist riffing off one of the card samples shown in the catty for this set, lol, TOO fun!

Treasured Kindness (& Thank You Cards April 15!)

Such a fun checkered sketch we have at As You See It #296 this round!
I felt like this sketch called for some drama, and since the lovely tree in our Treasured Kindness set JUST arrived, I ran with that! I guessed, correctly I think, that the tree would be perfect as a large circle element, and to bump it up even more, I went rogue with colors so I could pull in the gorgeous Sun Prints DSP. I've really been playing with stamping things in non-realistic colors lately, it's growing on me!
I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge!

Very fun - Cardz 4 Guyz #316 would like to see a "sporting chance" this round!
I decided to go with my Adventurous Journey set for this one - kayaking is a GREAT sport! I love to color this guy in, and float him over a cool puddle cut with our Diorama Dies, lol. So fun! I should add a fishing pole somehow!

Legendary Ride (& Sympathy Cards Feb 11!)

Hm, this round's "anything goes" challenge at Can You Handle the Pressure includes a twist of "borders!"
I happen to have a new EF burning a hole on my desk right now - I HAVE to use my new Legendary Ride suite today! I decided to do a layered "border" for this one, and left a nice wide margin for my new Metal Plate EF. I did that layer in our retired Galvanized Metallic paper - love the look with my nice "chopper," lol. I added a panel of the very cool DSP, with a band of the reverse side that I also used on the envelope. I popped up my bike and sentiment, and threw on some flames at the end - I even squeezed on some "stud" embellies. Very manly, indeed, lol.

Sweet Citrus Thanks (& Birthday Cards Jan 14!)

So excited that I get a chance to play at the Alphabet Blog Challenge - this round, T is for Thank You!
What a perfect straight line to break out my new Sweet Citrus bundle, too, lol. Another fun new hybrid set to play with! I didn't do any of the hybrid embossing today, I'm too fascinated by the gorgeous and easy two-step stamping for the citrus, and super easy to cut out with the dies! I did my fruits all in Mango Melody today, full strength on the peels, and then stamped off for the centers. There's even two dies for the leaves, so I don't have to run everything through multiple times, lol. I foresee a lot of juicing in my future!

I am SO Excited that the first round of the Christmas Specials at In{k}spire Me #492 is gift tags! Love them!
I decided to pull out my Decorated With Happiness set AGAIN, lol. Really, it's just so versatile! I cut a tag trio using my beloved Tailor Made Tags Dies, along with the hole protectors, and had some fun doing some single ornament arrangements. For a final touch of sparkle, I added some tiny Iridescent Rhinestones. Even with using the dies for the ornaments and tags, this little project was quick! They're so adorable, and the timing is perfect, since I have a pile of boxes from Amazon to get going on, lol.

I always have to laugh when I see this graphic - Cupcake Inspirations #556 is "anything goes," and it's brilliant!
I'm going off the reservation a bit again today with another non-SU set, lol. A few weeks ago, I won top pick for a prize at Time Out Challenge #223 - wow! The prize was a $25 certificate to Newton's Nook, so I did a little shopping on them, lol. OF COURSE I found a new chicken set to play with - adorable! What totally caught my eye was this hilarious sentiment - I just couldn't resist! Thanks TOC! Such a fun prize! I think "chicken butt" is just right for anything goes, lol...

Fall Fern (& Christmas Cards Part 2 Oct 15!)

10/8/2022

2 Comments

Shopping Our Stash #480 is running a "leaf me alone" challenge this round - so cute!
I've been really wanting to try Forever Fern in Fall colors for a while now - today is the day! I stamped three different stems in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I tried to make them all radiate from a focal point, where I popped up my sentiment in Espresso. I thought some gold accents would go well, too, so I tousled some Metallic Gold Thread behind that as well, and added a few Brushed Gold Dots. I still needed a little something, so I threw on three tiny springs I cut with the matching dies, too. Time to stop!
Forever Fern Stamp Set; Basic White & Cajun Craze CS; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie & Crushed Curry Inks; Forever Flourishing & Stylish Shapes Dies; Metallic Gold Thread; Brushed Gold Dots; #SOS480.

I hope you like my spooky colors this round at As You See It #285!
I decided to go back to 2018's Sweet Home bundle to pull this one off! I had a good time building my haunted home in all our colors, lol. I was even able to use one of our tiny Matte Dots for the door knob! The Starry Sky bats almost broke me, but I pushed through it, lol. All oldies here, in new colors! So fun!
I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for these crazy colors - meet you there!

Pink Birthday Piggy (& Fall Cards Class Sep 10!)

9/2/2022

Lol, so many fun possibilities for this week's Addicted to CAS #227 "pink" challenge - woo!
For me, when I looked over my possible "pink" sets, the one that jumped out was This Birthday Piggy! Of COURSE a little piggy would be perfect in pink! I went with this little sleepyhead and made sure to bring on the pink - I don't think I've stamped this one before! What's even cuter about this one is the inside sentiment: "Go to your happy place and stay there all day!" Adorable! I snuck in a few Polished Pink Opal Rounds to finish things off - hopefully I have enough white space left to still qualify as CAS!
This Birthday Piggy Stamp Set; Basic White & Polished Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Crumb Cake, Old Olive & So Saffron Blends Markers; Polished Pink Opal Rounds; #ATCAS227.
