Best Chapter

6/13/2021

Yum! Check out our juicy summer colors at this week's Sunday Stamps #259!
While I'm loving our inspiration pic that goes with the colors, I found the colors themselves to be a challenge! PLUS, I still have new stamp sets on my desk! Must. Ink. New. Sets! Lol. So that's how I ended up with this odd one for me, featuring our new Best Chapter set. I'm a real sucker for sentiments that mix fonts - extra plus bonus when portions can be highlighted with different colors, like the banner on my card! And having all those fun choices for the bottom banner is just the icing on the cake!
I can't wait to see YOUR plans for our colors - meet you at the challenge!

Gold Star

This is exciting! Less Is More #443 has a rare sketch for us this week!
But maybe it's a trick of some kind... Hm, I've tried really hard to keep it as CAS as possible for these guys, lol, I'm scared to go too crazy! So, I thought about how I could get the shapes of the sketch while keeping the layers down, and hit on our awesome Stitched With Whimsy Dies - perfect! I even pulled out new plates for my machine so I could get a nice clean card front! I then went on the hunt for a nice squared sentiment and found my old Here's To Strong Women set, so that led me to this single stitched gold star. Must. Stop. Now. I have a bunch of little gold enamel stars I could use - must resist! Lol.

Yum! We're going tropical at this week's Sunday Stamps #253!
I couldn't resist pulling out my trusty In Bloom set again for this one - I love these happy flower dies so much! All those little stitching details really add to the cuteness, and look how fresh and vibrant they look in our colors! So fun! I even found a few brown sequins in the back of a drawer (I think from an old Paper Pumpkin) to add to my tiny little flowers for centers, too - yay!
So where will our colors take YOU?? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!

Berry Best Fold

Oh, here's a fun challenge! Stamping Pals Challenge #13 is a "fab" fold challenge!
I decided to show off some more yummy DSP, and I'm just not done with the gorgeous Berry Delightful paper from Sale-A-Bration! Since I was already pulling in the DSP, I decided to add in the stamp set, too - Berry Blessings. I ended up with a modified "flap-fold," landscape. Don't laugh, I really fret over what to call things, lol. But basically, I just wanted to play around with moving the fold-over flap around, so I slid it down to the bottom, and it just worked out perfect that I could add my sentiment along the bottom left to help hold it closed. What a fun time!

So cute - Addicted to CAS #192 has an "animal" challenge for us this week!
One of the sets that didn't make the cut into critter class is Friendly Flamingo. I love the images in this set, and the dies are awesome! I've been having trouble with the shading, though, so I just couldn't get it into class, and I'm still struggling a bit. Today I tried stamping this fine bird in Basic Gray, and then adding the color with Blends, I like this better than when I've stamped in Black - that was too muted. I might be getting closer! Another thing I love about this set is the perfect sentiments - like today's!

Seeing Goats

We have some lovely crisp colors to play with at this week's As You See It #243!
I'm not sure what it says about me, but when I saw these colors, the first thing I thought of was our Way To Goat set, lol. Definitely goat and goat accessory colors, in my mind! Now, I thought I was going to sneak the little can in there so that could be my Poppy Parade elements, but then I decided I wanted this one wit the cute flower instead - he looks very meditative, I think! So, lots of Sahara Sand for me, with touches of the rest of the colors, but I love how simple and fun this card was!

Bring on the shapes with us this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #491!
Ah, so nice to see my two favorite little words - "any shape!" I went all out and did some snail shapes, lol, from our new Snailed It suite! These guys are the cutest (and gals, I suppose, check out those eyelashes!) and there's even some great ones to fussy cut from the DSP that goes with, like these two on today's card! I went with a nice bold contrast in my colors, and even finally used my Double Oval punch - woo hoo! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - meet you at the challenge!

I'm really liking the look of this cute landscape challenge at this week's Paper Craft Crew #407!
And what a great chance it is to showcase a new bundle, along with it's Sale-A-Bration DSP! I'll just put right out there that this paper is the whole reason I got the set, lol, even though I get very few new flower sets these days. It's just so cheery and bubbly, perfect colors, and the dies are super interesting and fun - a win all around! Can't wait for you to play with this set!

LOVE the travel theme at this month's The Male Room #142 - but how to narrow down all the places I want to go these days??
The short answer is, I can't, lol. Camping? Maui? Banff Springs? Nova Scotia? London? I have a different dream pretty much every night of all the places I'm missing, lol, so I decided to just go with the gorgeous globe in Beautiful World - I think I can even see Hawaii on here! I added some beautiful map paper from the World of Good DSP pack, and kept it simple and quick - just right for a guy, lol. One day, we'll be back to all our fave places, and it'll be great, I know!

We have a banner landscape for you here at Fab Friday #193 this week!
I can't resist playing up some more new goodies today, lol - have you seen the GORGEOUS In Good Taste DSP yet? All photo papers, just amazing designer elements, AND it's a double pack - so much to choose from! I figured it would make a frosting-esque background for the delicate Many Medallions diecut, and this simple Many Mates congrats over all - I even put in my touch of lace, and didn't go blind! Woo hoo!
I can't see what YOU do with this week's sketch - meet you at the challenge!
