Tropical Inspiration (& New Catty Preview Class June 13!)

6/4/2020

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.

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...
Make a Splash Stamp Set; Pool Party & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mango Melody Blend Marker; High Seas EF; Silver Pearls; #IM415.

Sympathy/Sorry Card Class March 12 & 14!

Class will feature six cards with envelopes, all in a sympathy or sorry format, and includes all supplies needed (bring your fave snips and adhesives.) Class also includes snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25. Class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more. Classes are on for Thursday March 12 at 630 pm, or Saturday March 14 at 3 pm. RSVP today to save your spot!

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!

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.

Mermaid Dreams (& Holiday Gifts Class Nov 14 & 16!)

11/10/2019

0 Comments

OK, super cute - check out the mermaid cupcake over at this week's Fusion Mermaid Challenge! Eek!
Lucky for me, I OF COURSE still have my beloved Magical Day set, which has this super cutie mermaid in it. I did some coloring to go along with the beautiful inspiration pic Fusion shared, but I mixed up the sentiment using one from Silhouette Scenes - I think this mermaid looks like she's dreaming anyway, lol. I was also able to give her some waves to float over with our wonderful High Seas EF - which works a real treat now with our new blue plate just for our current 3D folders - $10 is completely worth it to take the guesswork out of how much to shim this beauty, sigh... This came out super simple, but I'm loving the quiet details - so sweet!
Magical Day (retired 2018) & Silhouette Scenes Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Pool Party & Purple Posy CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party, Purple Posy, Nude & Cajun Craze Blends Markers; Magical Mates (retired) & Stitched Shapes Dies; High Seas EF; Clear Epoxy Droplets; #FusionMermaid.

It's time again for our monthly Sparkles Christmas Challenge #106 - let's see those Santas!
I went browsing through my retired sets for a good Santa for today - I actually didn't get this year's Santa (I don't like his feet, shhh...) I spotted 2013's Santa's List, and can't remember when I used it last - winner winner! I matched him up with some pretty sheets from this year's Night Before Christmas DSP - how perfect is that cookies and cocoa sheet?? Fun AND I got to color, a perfect Christmas gift, lol.
So, what will YOU create for us? I can't wait to see your Santas, over at the challenge!

Daisy Lane (& Christmas Cards Part 2 Class!)

Oh, good times - As You See It #210 has a "get well" recipe for us this week - cool idea!
Looking over my "ingredients," I decided the time was finally NOW to break out Daisy Lane - woot! This is a lovely companion set to Daisy Delight, complete with its own punch, sized a bit smaller - yay! I created a simple card using the fern-ish leaf from the set in the background, and then made a tag with a Stitched Oval. My get well is from the July 2015 Thanks A Latte Paper Pumpkin - loved this one for the cute cups, but the sentiments were awesome, too, lol.
Daisy Lane & Thanks a Latte Paper Pumpkin Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz & Soft Sea Foam CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Mango Melody Blends Marker; Medium Daisy Punch; Stitched Shapes Dies; Stitched White Grosgrain Ribbon; White Baker's Twine; Basic Jewel Pearls; #AYSI210.

Joseph's Coat (& Fall/Thanksgiving Class Sep 12 & 14!

9/4/2019

2 Comments

I'm so thrilled I can squeeze in this week's technique challenge from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown #32 - Joseph's Coat!
So, I'm not sure I've actually ever done a Joseph's Coat technique before - at least, not on purpose, lol. I do like emboss resist a lot, and this seems pretty similar, with a multi-color aspect thrown in. I decided to try something a little different, and play with the little buffalo check stamp in my new Tiny Keepsakes set, that goes with the new Mini Curvy Keepsake dies - so fun! I brayered some Christmas-y Brights on white, then clear heat-embossed the stamp. Another brayer layer in Black, a bit of clean up, and here we go - kind of an ombre plaid, lol. I like it! Definitely a candidate for our next Let's Get Messy Class!
Tiny Keepsakes Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Sponge Brayer; Mini Curvy Keepsake Dies; Real Red Baker's Twine; Poppy Parade Glimmer Dots; #52CCT32-19.

Fall & Thankgiving Class Sep 12 & 14!
Ah, it's finally starting to cool off around here, so it's time to start thinking about our lovely Fall occasions - better break out the scarf! This class will feature six cards all about Autumn, and all from our new Holiday Mini Catty - there might even be a little spooky sneaking in there somehow, lol. Class includes all supplies (bring your favorite snips and adhesive), snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP to save your spot today! Class is on for Thursday, September 12 at 630 pm, or Saturday, September 14 at 3 pm. See you soon!
