 Oo, a super fun combo at In{k}spire Me #564 this round - what fun colors to go with that sketch! With the circle elements, I knew I wanted to use our new Encircled With Love set - I love a good punch set! I did up my background in all the colors, and found some DSP scraps to mix it up with, too! A big Blackberry Bliss sentiment takes center stage! I finished with a few Peach Pie Dappled Dots just because I can't resist embellishments, of course, lol. So quick and fun! Encircled With Love Stamp Set; Blackberry Bliss & Peach Pie DSP (retired); Basic White, Peach Pie & Flirty Flamingo CS; Blackberry Bliss Ink; Basics 2 EF; 2 1/2" and 1 7/8" Circle Punches; Dappled Dots; #IMC564.

 So glad to play again this month at NBUS #74! So many fun new toys! So this pretty Scenic Adventures bundle has been burning a hole on my desk for a couple few weeks now - I was so smitten with the super dramatic scenery dies for this one! And look how cool it looks over our Everyday Skies DSP - a match made in Heaven! I built my scenic layers from the bottom up, with a meadow and a tree line, then the majestic mountains behind all that. At the last second, I placed some big fir trees in the foreground, too. It felt so risky stamping my sentiment directly onto the DSP, but I'm super happy with it! So fun! And there's even more landscaping dies to play with, too! Scenic Adventures Stamp Set & Dies; Everyday Skies DSP; Basic White, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray & Old Olive CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Holographic Resin Dots; #NBUS74.   Critter Class 2025!
Yay! It's finally time for my favorite class of the year - critters! We have SO many new little friends, I can't wait to give them the love they deserve! This class will include 6 cards, with envelopes, for all occasions! You'll get all the supplies needed (bring your own favorite adhesive and snips), snack, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Saturday, May 17 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot!  Hm, AAA #287 has something new - kind of like a simplified tic-tac-toe! We are to start with the center prompt, and then add an outer bubble (or two?) Wild!! Starting with the silhouette prompt, I remembered the great ones in our Greatest Journey bundle, AND that set went with this ever-fabulous Enjoy The Journey DSP - all about landscapes! Perfect! With that settled, I went to work! I decided I wanted to do the cool BMX biker for my silhouette - so dramatic, and I went with the Coastal Cabana mountain scene for my DSP choice. I came up with this half-sies design, and added the sentiment above the biker. A tiny Black border for my layers and three tiny Black Matte Dots finishes things off - hope I'm CAS enough! Greatest Journey Stamp Set (retired 2023); Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Greatest Journey Dies; Matte Black Dots; #AAA287.   New Catty Preview Class April 12 at 2 pm!
Come get a little sneaky peek at the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog, where we will make 6 cards with envelopes, all from the new Catty! (You'll also get your own print copy!) We'll have a little bit of everything - new stamp sets, dies, embellies, AND the new In Colors! Be there or be sad! I will provide everything you need for all the projects (bring your own fave snips and adhesive!), plus snacks, drinks, and a little gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is ON for Saturday, April 12, at 2 PM! RSVP now to save your spot!  We have a brand new inspo list from Festive Friday #176 - for National Wedding Month! So, once I got a peek at that list, I admit straight out that I got a little carried away, lol. It was "tin cans" that did it, I'm afraid, because I immediately thought about the tin can on a stick image from my old Under the Stars set from 2008 - it has such great camping images! All thoughts of a wedding card went right out the window! If I was going to do the can, then I had to have the guilty-looking little raccoon, too, lol. I do have the brand new Adventure Together bundle, so I snagged the little firepit from there, as well as half my sentiment! The "congrats" is actually from our also-new Bright Borders. I'm thinking of this as retirement card, or maybe a "congrats on your new camper" card, lol. I also built my little scene on a z-fold card - so fun! Anyway, I hit tin can, fancy fold, pearls, metallics (I colored the fire pit silver, lol) and congrats. I'm adding the laughs, too, lol... Under the Stars (retired 2008), Adventure Together & Bright Borders Stamp Sets; Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Garden Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Garden Green Inks; Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie, Bermuda Bay (retired) & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Cricut Silver Metallic Marker; Adventure Together Dies; Festive Pearls in Green; #FF0176.

What a fun theme for the new year from Time Out Challenge #279 - beginnings! So excited that I get to show off SEVERAL new goodies with this one - perfect for a "beginnings" theme, too, I suppose, lol. There are some great sentiments in our new (out TODAY!) Bright Borders stamp set, that coordinates beautifully with the To The Point Label punch! I picked a gorgeous plaid sheet from the Timeless Plaid DSP pack (8 of each sheet - YES!) and showed off both sides, while using the colors for my stamping, too. So fun to build this perfect sentiment for the theme! I also found this embossing folder under a stack on my desk - I KNEW I had gotten this one, I couldn't figure out where it went! This one is Forever Plaid, and I did my background all tilty - eek! Bright Borders Stamp Set; Timeless Plaid DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Boho Blue & Calypso Coral Inks; Forever Plaid EF; To The Point Label Punch; Boho Blue Glossy Dots; #TOC279.

Class is on for Saturday, January 11 at 2 pm! RSVP now to save your spot!  What a super cool inspo list at this round's Festive Friday #165! State Fair! Wow! I went with a pretty minimum selection of ideas, lol, mostly because I was fixated on the memory of a rosette stamp in one of our old Paper Pumpkins - that would be the perfect starting place! I dug that out first, just so I could see what else I had to work with, and pulled August 2020's World Greatest set for a look. Yup, there it is! How about a simple congrats card in bright colors! When I spotted my Gingham Gala DSP in Lemon Lime Twist for my bright color, I thought the pattern was kinda state fairish - at least, that's what I remember from my 4H days, lol. I found some first-run ribbon to go with, and finished with some celebratory stars, too (they were laying out on my desk, lol, so I decided to use them!) It all hangs together pretty well, I think! World's Greatest Stamp Set (Aug 2020 Paper Pumpkin); Gingham Gala DSP in Lemon Lime Twist (retired); Basic White & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green Inks; Stylish Shapes Dies; Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon (retired); Adhesive Backed Stars (retired); #FF0165.

I was sad to see this set on the retiring list, not that I'll be really letting it go, lol. These guys are always good for a smile and a pick-me-up! I did a kinda inchie card, with all four of the feathered gents posing for a pic, and kept them all in manly farm colors, too - so fun! I can't wait to see YOUR bird pictures this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

It's really about the love this week, lol - The Flower Challenge #88 would like us to add a heart! I decided to look over my Shelves of Retirement for this one - and I haven't inked up Beautiful Thistle in who knows how long! Winner winner! I started by checking my scraps folders for something good for the background, and I came across this retired sheet of Soft Sea Foam in a plaid - perfect! I matched this with Highland Heather, to carry the theme, lol, and got to work on my thistles. Turns out I love this combo of green and purple, lol, and I stamped the smallest sentiment on this fun heart in the Radiating Stitches Dies. I even had some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to finish things off!

I'm really liking the combo at this week's In{k}spire Me #526! Love the purples! BUT, I think I'll take just the sketch this round, lol - all my purples are out in class supplies right now! On top of that, I took some, ah, liberties, with the sketch, too - I just wanted to make it all fit! I'm debuting my Wild Ferns bundle today, and let me tell you, there are some COOL dies in this one! I really wanted to use the largest of the pierced rectangles, and I could JUST make them fit if I turned them like this, lol. Maybe too blocky? Not sure on this one, but I swear I got the IDEA from the sketch, at least, lol. I did my fern fronds in three colors, and smudged them all with a Blender Pen, floating my sentiment in the center. A few Wild Wheat Glossy Dots finishes things off! Hope I've met the brief! Wild Ferns Stamp Set; Softly Stippled DSP; Basic White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat & Old Olive Inks; Blender Pen; Wild Ferns Dies; Wild Wheat Glossy Dots; #IMC526.   Sympathy Cards Class February 10

This class can also be free with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for February 10 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot!  Oo, something new (for me, at least, lol) this round at Shopping Our Stash #508 - a color challenge! I started by picking three colors - and I went with Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie & Misty Moonlight - what could I stamp with these? After a quick browse, I landed on Bird's Eye View - these guys are so funny! Since there are no sentiments, I Pulled Happy Labels to go with it, and got to work! I found a couple sheets of our first-run DSP stack in Misty Moonlight, and decided this text sheet would be perfect with the stack of books! I chose a studious birdie to perch on top and added some glasses to really complete the look, lol. Since we don't have Blends Markers in Garden Green (!!!) I opted for my water painters, too - I love the look! I floated all my stamping over this fun shape from Nested Essentials, and finished with a few Misty Moonlight Glossy Dots! Yay! I think this would make a great school congrats card, and I love using my old stash Misty Moonlight stuff!
