 Oo, we have a doozy for you at this round of As You See It #346! What retired crafting tool would you NEVER let go of?? For me, that tool is the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig! I even have multiple ones, in case anything happens to one, lol. I just love this little sucker! Once I got the knack of how to hold everything, it's the fastest way I know to quickly stamp something in a specific place, or on a little scrap, or whatever, and it works especially awesome on wood-mounted stamps, or red rubber! They can't all be photopolymer, lol. To show it off, I did today's tiled bunny layout using my SAMJ and 2010's Chocolate Bunny stamp - a single wood-mount that I can never let go, lol. Now, don't get me wrong, my Stamp-a-ratus and marker spritzer are firmly clutched in my OTHER hand, but I reach for my SAMJ all the time! I can't wait to see YOUR answers to this thorny question, lol - meet you at the challenge!

 Very pretty! CAS on Friday #305 is having a Spring challenge! Yay! I decided to stamp with my Daffodil Daydream set from 2023 for this one - today is a good day to COLOR! Plus, it has this beautiful Easter sentiment, also perfect for Spring! To keep it CAS, I went with white-on-white layers, and add a simple border on one edge from the set - I still love my Stamp-a-ma-Jig, too, lol! Next I stamped up my chosen flowers on some scrap, and colored them with my Blends. I added them on dimensionals, and set my sentiment to the left. I looked a little TOO bare for me still, so I couldn't help adding on 3 tiny yellow sequins, too - shhh! Daffodil Daydream Stamp Set (retired 2023); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Granny Apple Green Inks; Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight & Peach Pie Blends Markers; Daffodil Dies (retired); Yellow Shine Sequins; #CASOF305.   We have a yummy recipe for you this round at As You See It #341! Get out that apron! As soon as I saw the "pastel" ingredient, I knew I wanted to use my Wildflower Birthday DSP, but in a new way! What about Easter eggs? Sold!! I pulled out Last Year's Excellent Eggs bundle and got to work! I picked out three pretty pastel patterns for diecut eggs, as well as one extra for a background. I still have a roll of the Pool Party Pom Pom ribbon that I have never used - now's the time, lol. I heat embossed this pretty Easter sentiment to float over the ribbon, and finished with a few Peach Pie Resin Dots. So sweet! I can't wait to see what YOU cook up for our fun challenge, too - meet you at the challenge!

Thank You Cards 2025!
I have to say, I am ALWAYS short on Thank You Cards - I always debate if we should do these first after Christmas, lol! Today's class will feature 6 thoughtful Thank You Cards, all from our new Spring Mini and latest Online Exclusives, with envelopes. Class also includes all supplies needed (bring your own snips and adhesive!) snacks, and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class in ON for Saturday, February 8 at 10 am or 2 pm! RSVP today to save your spot!  Very nice - Inspire Create Challenge #185 wants to see something clean and simple! I've been really wanting to use the palm cross arrangement in our new Faith Collection set - this one will be perfect for it! I started with a simple white-on-white background, and laid down my palms in Mossy Meadow. I stamped the wood cross and lilies in Black onto some white scrap, and filled in the "wood" with Pecan Pie. I also added a little Light Daffodil Delight to the center of the lilies. I used the dies to cut everything out, and popped on my details for some extra dimension. Since the set is in photopolymer, it was a cinch to add the sentiment to the side! This is so perfect for an ultra-CAS look! Faith Collection Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Mossy Meadow & Pecan Pie Inks; Daffodil Delight Blend Marker; Faith Collection Dies; ICC185.   Oo, what a fun windowed layout from Sketch Saturday #767! This one feels very out of my card-making style to me, but I really wanted to use some of these adorable diecuts that come in the Storybook Moments DSP pack! I have a hard time using these, mostly because there are never enough of the same image for me to use in a class, lol, but then I got to thinking that I could still use them on my other cards! I just need to apply myself! So I set up this sweet gardening background, and picked three images that I though would go along with that theme. I should have used the "spring" sentiment, but I also haven't used the Easter one yet, so out that came, too! Such a cutie! I finished with the antique pearls that go with this suite, but I think they get a little lost, hmmm... Storybook Friends Stamp Set; Storybook Moments DSP; Basic White & Old Olive CS; Old Olive Ink; Large Oval Punch (retired); Antique Pearls; #SS767.   So cute - The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme of bunnies or chicks this round! How about one of each?? As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to pull out the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin - Sweet Springtime! Such cute images in this one, and the sweetest Easter sentiment, too. I even have the add-on dies, The Love of Spring, that has this gorgeous daffodil die in it! I did all my coloring in Blends markers this time - though I also love to do these with Water Painters - another great look! And of course, I couldn't resist floating everything over this glorious Gingham Gala DSP sheet in Lemon Lime Twist - my little hoard is dwindling! Sweet Springtime Paper Pumpkin (Feb 2024) Stamp Set; Gingham Gala DSP; Basic White & Daffodil Delight CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; #The Love of Spring Dies; Bumblebee Matte Dots; #TSOCBunnies&Chicks.

I'm on it! Looking over my retired shelves, I came across my Thanks a Bunch from last year - I am STILL smitten with these carrots, though I'm not too sure what to do with them, lol. I found some old Pumpkin Pie DSP to use for my background, so I paired it with Lemon Lime Twist for a bright Spring color combo! I stamped and fussy cut three of the largest carrots, and then popped up the "Spring" sentiment with my still awesome Tasteful Labels dies. I even snuck in a few Mango Melody Fine Sparkle Gems for a bit of shine!

Very nice - it's time for In{k}spire Me #530's Easter theme challenge! Since I actually got an Easter set this year, which I don't often do, I knew I wanted to play with that today! Excellent Eggs has such sweet images, but really, this one is all about the dies for me - we don't have many egg dies! I decided to lay with heat-embossing the fancy egg images today, I definitely like the look! Inspired by the pretty pastels in this DSP sheet from the Lighter Than Air pack, I did a Pool Party and a Fresh Freesia egg, with my sentiment on some Lemon Lolly - VERY Easter bonnet, I think! The Rainbow Dots finished with just the right extra pop of colors! Excellent Eggs Stamp Set; Lighter Than Air DSP; Basic White, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia & Lemon Lolly CS; Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; White EP; Crumb Cake & Bubble Bath Blends Markers; White Baker's Twine; Rainbow Dots; #IMC530.   We have some delicate pretty colors for you this round at Sunday Stamps #331! With all those eggs, I couldn't help but think of Easter! I decided to play with Fluffiest Friends as soon as I spotted that cute little bunny! Since this set doesn't sentiments, I went with this pretty sentiment in our just-finished Sale-A-Bration set, Heartfelt Hellos! I decided to keep it all ultra CAS - no layers today! I did a little strand of background grass from Pear Pizzazz, and stamped my sentiment on Pool Party to float above that. After coloring in my bunny cutie, I popped him up overlapping the background pieces - so cute! At the last second, I decided to finish with these subtle Lemon Lolly Dots. Now I want an Easter cupcake, too! I can't wait to see your subtle projects for our colors this round - meet you at the challenge! Fluffiest Friends & Heartfelt Hellos (SAB 2024) Stamp Sets; Pear Pizzazz DSP (retired); Basic White, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz (retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia & Pool Party Blends Markers; Fluffiest Friends Dies; Heartfelt Hexagons Punch; Lemon Lolly Dots; #SSC331.   We have some cute Spring colors for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #433! It was hard to look at these colors and not see Easter Eggs, right? I've been wanting to play with the fun dies that go with our Excellent Eggs bundle - so cute! I found some DSP in each color, and went to work! I started with base eggs in each color, then took another pattern and played with moving around my scallop die to take different "bites" for accent pieces. I went in a few directions, and added the zig zag for each egg to get three different cool combos! I love mixing and matching, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR fun projects with these Easter colors - meet you at the challenge!
