Poppies 4 Guyz

Oo, good one!  Cardz 4 Guyz #303 would like us to feature poppies and/or remembrance this round!
I actually still have a fair amount of our old Peaceful Poppies  DSP tucked away, so I grabbed that to get started.  I settled on this sheet of big bold blossoms, and then decided to pull in For Your Country to complete the brief.  I think the additional of the military details takes this in a guy direction.  Anyway, I heat embossed my soldier in black so he would stand out against that bold background, and featured this famous JFK quote to finish things off.  Love it!
For Your Country Stamp Set (retired 2014); Peaceful Poppies DSP (retired); Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; Black EP; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Matte Black Dots; #C4G303.

A Little Cheesy

Sigh, Fusion is apparently channeling my kryptonite this week with their Wine and Cheese challenge, lol - yes, please!
So besides being one of my most favorite combos, lol, this challenge is PERFECT for a new set that's been burning the air on my desk for a bit - A Little Cheesy!  Wine, cheese AND punny?  Yeah, you know they made this set just for me!  I of COURSE had to pull in Merry Merlot for my accent pieces - so thrilled with the patterns in our latest DSP stacks - and then had my choice of puns!  In end, I opted for a little cheese with that wine, yuck yuck, and colored up my images accordingly.  At least these were simple to fussy cut!
A Little Cheesy Stamp Set; Merry Merlot DSP; Basic White & Merry Merlot CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Merry Merlot Stamp-n-Write Marker; Blender Pen; Stylish Shapes Dies; Cherry Cobbler Matte Decorative Dots; #FusionWineandCheese.

Wow!  Cardz 4 Guyz #300 has the perfect theme for their BIG anniversary - CONGRATULATIONS!
In my first pass reviewing stamp sets, I spotted this "today" sentiment in Splendid Thoughts - how could I use this set and make it "guyz" enough?  I decided I was game to try, lol.  I think I'm skirting (so to speak) the edge a little with this one - this is such a delicate feminine set!  But, I played up the greens and leaves, and floated it all over a Pool Party card base from the SAB Cards & Envelopes that coordinate.  No flowers, no sparklies, no foils - just one worker bee, lol.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set; Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes (SAB); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Splendid Stems & Sunshine Wishes (retired); Dies; #C4G300.

So cool - Cupcake Inspirations #547 has a fun and patriotic challenge for us this week - oh my stars!
This seems like the perfect chance to ink up a couple stamps that have been hanging around waiting for some love on desk for a while.  I was super stoked to try out of Rays of Light background stamp finally - love the distressed look of the rays - so awesome in bold Real Red!  I layered the rays over some Night of Navy, and knew I needed my star to be White - I went with my old retired Stars Dies for softer angles.  Last, I popped on a fun WOO HOO! from our Sale-A-Bration Amazing Phrasing set - I say that all the time, so I knew I had to have it, lol.  There's a "you did it!" on the inside to go with.  I finished with a few tiny star sequins - so cute!

Oooo!  We have some lovely purples and pinks to play with this week at Cupcake Inspirations #546 - I think I can JUST make it!
Looking over these girly colors, I knew I had to break in my Hippest Hippos set, an upcoming Sale-A-Bration set coming July 1!  It even has dies to go with, with a few cute extras, as you can see, lol.  I have to be honest, every single element of this card I ended up doing two or three times - girlie pastels are SO not my wheelhouse!  I'm so glad I finally made it to something I'm actually happy with in the end - I think I need to clear my palette with a manly hippo card next, lol.

Ah ha!  Make My Monday #172 has the perfect challenge for ME - to use washi tape, which I always forget to do!
I started by doing a dig for some washi - I found this pretty sparkly silver one with stars - I think it came from our old Magical Day suite.  I covered a little area on some white cardstock, and then cut out this Stitched Circle for a little background panel for my pretty sailboat!  I'm having to say a fond goodbye to Sweet Farewell with this one - such a cute set!  The bonus is, I'm breaking into my new In Colors with this one, too - a little old and a little new!  Yay!

Well, the day has finally arrived: a challenge day dedicated to my FAVORITE color, purple!  Let's hear it for Addicted to CAS #209!
One of my newer-to-me sets that I haven't gotten enough time with yet is To The Moon.  Such pretty images, and the sentiments are equally celestial, lol.  What always catches my eye is when there's a mix of fonts in the sentiments, I feel like it adds so much versatility!  So I love how the phrases for this set look, a pretty Serif mixed with a more organic scripty one.  Love it!  And I'd love to see a Blackberry Bliss moon, wouldn't you?

It's theme time again at As You See It #258 - "in the air!"  What a fun one!
I went to the vault for this one - my sweet little piggy hasn't had some air time in quite a while!  I even dug out some retired "cloudy" DSP to go with - we're all about the air here!  My favorite thing to do with this piggy is to go ahead and stamp on a white surface, then stamp again onto a pink, touch up the snout and hooves and then fussy cut to go over her wings - I really love dimension, lol.

I'm loving our big bold daisy sketch at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #522!  It will be so fun to translate into a fun fold for SU Only #283, too!
My favorite new big flower is our Sale-A-Bration Delicate Dahlias, and today was my chance to combine the line art drawing with the DistINKtive stamp - love it!  I did a set of leaves to go with as well, and had so much fun fussy cutting!  When I went hunting for bold stripes, I remembered these pretty gold ones from our Expressions in Ink pack, so I pulled in this gorgeous Pale Papaya sheet, too - perfect colors for my dahlia!  Translating all this into a modified trifold was a piece of cake!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week - meet you there!

Goodness, how cute is the "oh, birdie" cupcake at this week's Cupcake Inspiration #522?!
I dug around a little for some "chicks," but the ones I found weren't quite right.  But then I remembered that I have Birds & Branches, which has this lovely nest in it AND dies to go with!  And well, I hardly ever use this set, lol.  Winner winner!  I decided to make a sweet congrats card, and show some pretty eggs in the nest, with the proud parents looking on.  This pretty sentiment from Many Messages, which I also don't use enough, seemed just right!  So cute!
Birds & Branches, & Many Messages Stamp Sets; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Soft Suede, Pool Party, Early Espresso & So Saffron Inks; Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade Blends Markers; Birds & More, & Messages Dies; #CI522.
