Oo, there's a very elegant sketch for us this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #356! As usual, I got my proportions all out of whack, but I did manage to get all the elements there, lol. For whatever reason, once I hit on Simply Succulents, I just couldn't let go! I do have fun coloring these cuties, so many variations out there in the succulent world for me to try my hand at, but I almost always land on some version of greens with an edge of purple - so pretty! I carried the color theme through with my papers, too - look at me, all buttoned up! Simply Succulents Stamp Set; Soft Sea Foam DSP; Whisper White, Highland Heather & Purple Posy CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Smoky Slate, Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam & Rich Razzleberry Blends Markers; Potted Succulents Dies; Iridescent Sequins; #HSS356.

I'm loving our offset look this week at Fab Friday #205! A sketch like this, with big open layers, always makes me think of ways to show off DSP, lol. I recently realized, I don't think I've shown ANY items from this big new super-suite either, called Dandy Garden! You see, we got to use it for our On Stage activities back in November, and we really worked it for that, so much so that I kinda haven't looked at it since then - oops! There are actually TWO stamp set bundles, DSP, these cute ladybugs, twines - you know, just a crazy collection! My card today is featuring the Garden Wishes bundle, plus I snuck in the punch from the other bundle, too, lol. So many elegant elements to play with here! So, I can't wait to see YOUR creations for us this week - meet you at the challenge! Garden Wishes Stamp Set; Dandy Garden DSP; Whisper White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Dandy Wishes & Rectangle Stitched Dies; Dragonflies Punch; Ladybug Trinkets; #FabFri205. Birthday Cards 2021 Class! Hooray! Now that New Year's is behind us, it's definitely time to start restocking those birthday cards! I think you'll really enjoy making these! We'll have 5 fun cards, with envelopes, of course, ALL featuring new stamps and supplies from the brand new Spring Mini Catalog! I can't wait for you to see! Class is on for Saturday, January 23, at 3 pm, and includes all supplies needed (bring your fave snips and adhesive!), snacks, drinks, and a special gift from me, all for $25! Class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP today to save your spot! This is a fun one - The Sisterhood of Crafters is bringing us "shaped" projects this week - no rectangles! I decided I really wanted to do an easel card, and I went back to my very first die that came with my very first Big Shot - the Top Note Die! It's not quite a rectangle, right? I wanted to get some ink on my Perfectly Plaid set, too - as a carry over set from last year, I suspect its days are numbered, lol. I found this Decorative Label Punch while I was digging out my Pine Tree Punch - it goes great with the Top Note shape! I also had a few candy embellies left from my last Paper Pumpkin - love these! Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set; Heartwarming Hugs DSP; Whisper White CS; Shaded Spruce & Real Red Inks; Top Not Die (retired; Pine Tree & Decorative Label (retired) Punches; Jolly Gingerbread Embellishments; #TSOCShaped. Flowering Cactus Spring Mini Preview Class Dec 12! I'm so excited to kick off our new Spring Mini (coming Jan 4!) with a preview class - and this one will focus entirely on the upcoming Flowering Cactus Product Medley! Trust me, you're going to love it! Class will include at least 5 cards with envelopes, all from Flowering Cactus, as well as tastes of all the great and exclusive products in this suite - this medley was MADE for Arizona!

It's sketch time again here at Fab Friday #201 - hope you can get in on this one! I decided to dig through some lonely DSP, lol, Ornate Garden here especially hasn't seen much air time. I think this was a pre-order suite for me, so I was totally into it like over the SPRING, and I haven't really been back much since! Which is a shame, because I LOVE the Ornate Thanks stamp set that goes with, and I love matching it with the Ornate Layers dies! I kept things fairly strait-forward to our sketch today, but it's helped me sneak in a little Terracotta Tile in between Christmas projects, too - win! I can't wait to see YOUR versions of our sketch - meet you at the challenge! Ornate Thanks Stamp Set; Ornate Garden DSP; Whisper White CS; Terracotta Tile Ink; Ornate Layers Dies; Banner Triple Punch; Gold Twine; Terracotta Tile Faceted Dots; #FabFri201.

Super excited to launch our "vintage Christmas" challenge at Sparkles #117 today - hope YOU can join us! I decided to pull out my Cherish the Season set - these bells are so beautiful and classic, and floated over our Toile Tidings DSP, I think they make for a very vintage look! Old timey scenes always make me thing "vintage," lol. Anyway, we are all Garden Green all day long here, and I was thrilled to find some fancy options for my sentiment in the Ornate Frames dies! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to check out YOUR vintage cards, over at the challenge! Cherish the Season Stamp Set; Toile Tidings DSP; Very Vanilla & Garden Green CS; Garden Green Ink; Sounds of the Season & Ornate Frames Dies; Garden Green Glitter Enamel Dots; Blender Pens; #Sparkles117.

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! Peace & Joy Stamp Set; Whisper White & Granny Apple Green CS; Poppy Parade, Mango Melody & Shaded Spruce Inks; Joy Dies; Glided Gems; #TSOCSentiment.

You can also schedule a one-on-one, or class-in-a-box if you prefer - just let me know! 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! A Little Smile (Paper Pumpkin June 2019); By the Shore DSP (retired;) Very Vanilla CS; Dapper Denim, Soft Sky, Calypso Coral & Crumb Cake Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Whale of a Time Sequins; #RRCB140.

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...

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! Best Year Stamp Set; Whisper White, Poppy Parade & Bermuda Bay CS; Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Pattern Party Decorative Mask; Stitched Shapes Dies; Bermuda Bay Enamel Shape; Sponge Daubers; #TSOCStenciling.

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!
