Starz 4 Guyz

What a great idea!  Cardz 4 Guyz #331 has a "stars" theme going this round!
You KNOW I had to run straight to my beloved Greatest Journey set, with its fabulous Enjoy The Journey DSP!  This is just the perfect sentiment!  I made a big chunky mountain to float over a stunning starry sky backdrop, so of course, that's the cardstock and ink I used, too - Starry Sky!  I crack myself up sometimes, lol.  Anyway, I added a pretty crescent moon, and doctored up a Deckled Rectangle for the sentiment, and finished with some tiny Orchid Oasis Matte Dots.  At the last second, I slipped a paper glue dot behind the lantern, and then just didn't peel it, to make it look like the lantern was really lit!  Sigh, still one of my all-time favorite suites ever!

Oo, this one might be tough - AAA Cards #247 has "sketch for a teen" challenge this round!
I went with Fun On Wheels today, and kept it as simple as I could stand, lol.  I first cut a big Stitched Rectangle for some White on White layering - adds a tiny bit of oomph without getting all fancy!  I dabbed on some bright color with my Blending Brushes, and stamped this perspective bike over them in Black.  After I sat with it for a minute, I went back and stamped the "street map" image on either side, too - very light, in stamped off Smoky Slate.  My sentiment went at the bottom per the sketch, and I caved and added 3 Matte Black Dots - I'm so weak about embellies, lol.

So Happy For You (& Pumpkin Club July 29!)

We're focusing on the sentiment this week at Sunday Stamps #314 - front and center!
I got a chance to browse some different stamp sets recently at a stampin' retreat - so much fun!  One that I jumped at was Good Feelings - I didn't get this one, but SO perfect for a big front and center sketch like ours!  I chose this happy sentiment to fit a landscape orientation a bit better, and matched it with this sunny DSP from our old Dandy Designs pack - I still have a bit of this one left, and I can't let go of the cheery color combos!  I finished with this pretty Petal Pink ribbon and some bold Calypso Coral Iridescent Pastel Gems!  Yum!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our fun sketch this round - meet you at the challenge!

High Five Wheels

Wow, Shopping Our Stash #500 is celebrating a BIG number this round!  So their challenge is to include a number in OUR entries!
Since I don't actually have any numbered occasions in my immediate future, I decided to get a little sneaky, lol.  Our awesome new Fun on Wheels bundle has "high five" in the sentiments!  SO, not a numeral, BUT, a number, right?  I did double check the challenge wording, lol, just in case!  Anyway, I really wanted to use a different set of wheels this time, so I went for this Razor Scooter in hot Tahitian Tide!  I matched up with the so versatile Stargazing DSP, and pulled in some other fun brights, too!  And since all my shapes were stitched, I went back and ran through my background layers to stitch those, too.  My dies got a workout today!

We're giving a last hurrah to a couple of our departed colors this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #415!  Who's with us??
Since I got a very special delivery today of a pre-pre-preview set for our demo-only Creativity Now event coming in June, I couldn't resist inking that baby up!  I'm not usually a big florals person, but the "translucent" possibilities of this set just intrigue me!  I started by doing a stamped all-over background layer to check out the images - wowza!  After I was done, I decided to try embossing it also - a cool trick I've been seeing a lot lately!  I have to say, I'm really happy with the results!  I popped up my sweet sentiment, tucked in a little stem and finished with some Petal Pink ribbon and sequins.  So pretty!
I can't wait to see YOUR pretty projects with our colors this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

I'm thrilled to be able to sneak into In{k}spire Me #506's latest challenge - such a cute combo!  I think I can also JUST make Cardz 4 Guyz #322's National Bike Month theme!
As soon as I added the bike theme, I knew I wanted to ink up my new Fun On Wheels bundle - cute wheels, and great dies to go with!  I thought through the colors, and realized that Lemon Lolly is pale enough to go for my card base, so I was off to the races after that, lol.  I pulled in my Stylish Shapes dies for some details, and stamped the map in Lemon Lolly behind the bike, and my sentiment onto this Granny Apple Green Banner.  A few touches of Tahitian Tide Blend Marker and I think I pulled it off!

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!

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!

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!
