Cupcake Colors

Super yummy!  Cupcake Inspirations #619 has a peach and red color challenge for us!
I went and pulled my Real Red and Peach Pie color pads and started to look around - this is actually a bit of a tough combo for me, lol.  Once I realized I felt unsure, I decided I better go CAS so it didn't go too wild, lol.  I finally hit on our Hot Air Balloon stamp set - with the multi-step stamping options I figured it could be a great way to mix the colors!  I went with the smaller one, and made a red basket for underneath, too.  This simple encouraging sentiment seems right for the stripped down nature of the card, but I did slip on a few Peach Pie Shimmer Gems!

I'm so excited by our gardening theme this round at Make My Monday #252!
I decided to go back to our beautiful Garden Meadow set for this one - and to combine it with the Meandering Meadows DSP, too!  Made for each other, I think, lol.  I chose a pretty scene, and floated it over some retired Orchid Oasis, so I stamped my sentiment in the same, and even colored a pair of galoshes in it, too, lol.  I have always wanted a pair of Orchid Oasis wellies!  I added a watering can, and a couple hand tools, so this gardener could get right to work!
I can't wait to see YOUR gardening cards - meet you at the challenge!

So pretty - AAA Cards #288 has a fabulous sketch for us this round!
This seemed like another great chance to break in one more upcoming stamp bundle - this one is called Sunrise Sailing!  The bundle includes a lovely nautical stamp set, along with a hybrid embossing folder and dies, which I didn't break in to today, lol.  The set has several fabulous sentiments, too, and I went with this "great things" one - I do so love a good encouraging card!  I used a blending brush to create my background circle, and set my sailboat over it, along with some detail stamping on the sails and cabin.  I couldn't resist a few sea birds, too!  The sentiment was next, and then a few Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems.  I think it's still pretty CAS!
Sunrise Sailing Stamp Set; Misty Moonlight DSP; Basic White CS; Misty Moonlight & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; 2 1/2" Circle Punch; Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems; #AAA288.

Such a pretty mood board at this round of Hand Stamped Sentiments #459!
Once I spotted it, I could not let go of that gorgeous picture of all the pretty lavender stems against a cool sky!  Reminds me so much of the Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm on Maui - we love going there!  And lucky for me, I still have my gorgeous Painted Lavender stamp set, and even plenty of the Perennial Lavender DSP!  A quick browse through the DSP to get me started led me to this perfectly simple checked sheet in Crumb Cake - I'll just have to stamp my stem for this one!  I cut a Radiating Stitched Rectangle with some dies to stamp and got to work!  A simple single stem, strategically stamped-off and detailed up, with a little stem work was all I needed, and I finished with this sentiment from Comforting Thoughts.  Just right!

Hand Stamped Rusty

Such a cool sketch at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #458!
I decided this would be a cute little showcase for Resourceful Rusty again - he is a busy guy!  I popped him up on a stylish square, and did some flagged DSP behind him.  I colored the leaves of the apples with Lemon Lime Twist, so I used this old Mini Striped ribbon in that color for my swath!  I figured this would be a good sentiment for this Rusty as well - 3 apples in his mouth at once??  Maybe they're crabapples, lol.  Anyway, fun and fast!
Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set; Crumb Cake DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes & Nested Essentials Dies; Timber EF; Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon; Lemon Lime Twist Transparent Dots; #HSS458.

So pretty - our theme this round at As You See It #342 is BIRDS!
I decided to go old school for this one, and pulled last year's Silly Goose set - love these busy guys!  My favorite image is of course "goose bumps," it makes me laugh out loud every time I see it!  I did some Pumpkin Pie decor from the Friends of the Ocean DSP pack, and used a couple coordinating colors from there as well - so bright!  I finished with some matching twine and dots, too!
I can't wait to see YOUR bird projects - meet you at the challenge!

Wonderful Balloons

Very nice!  Festive Friday #178 has an inspo list for National Pink Shirt Day - anti-bullying!
I chose a few items and got going!  My favorite balloons right now are still this little trio from our 2020 Wonderful Moments set - love these ladies and their expressive sentiments!  This sweet sentiment seemed like a great encouragement to go with balloons, and I dressed everything up in bright pinks from our Marbled Elegance DSP - I think I have a shot of actually using all of it!  Anyway, I did my layers again with the Textured Notes dies, doctoring the smaller one on TWO sides for the sentiment - I love the look of this hatching!  I fussy cut my balloon girl for extra drama and finished with some pink dots.  I managed pink, glossy dots, words of encouragement, balloons, and maybe hands on my girl?  Hard to say, lol.  Still, I love how this came out!
Wonderful Moments Stamp Set (retired 2020); Marbled Elegance DSP; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Melon Mambo, SU400 & SU1000 Blends Markers; Textured Notes Dies; Sunny Day Iridescent Dots; #FF0178.

This is a fun color challenge at Inspire Create Challenge #186 - "any" yellow, pink and blue should be cool!
This particular color challenge was made easier for me by the "any" comment, lol - otherwise these are challenging colors for me.  I am SO not a pastel person!  Luckily our moody 2023-25 In Colors were the perfect adaptation, lol, though I had to go a pretty imaginative route anyway!  My eye was caught right away by our still-gorgeous Forever Forest Stamp Set, and I got thinking how I could combine two colors in the trees, and use the "yellow" on the moon and stars - score!  All I needed to do was pick an additional set for my sentiment, since the trees don't have any.  This line from the You Are Beautiful set seemed a good match for pink and blue trees to me, lol, and I finished with some "yellow" details.  Whew!
Forever Forest & You Are Beautiful Stamp Sets; Basic White CS; Baja Blue, Moody Mauve & Wild Wheat Inks; Forever Forest & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon; Wild Wheat Glossy Dots; #ICC186.

Yay - another very cool sketch from Sketch Saturday #769!
So, we have another super cute critter set coming soon in our Online Exclusives!  He's called Resourceful Rusty, and you can color him up in so many ways!  Today I went with a straight up red fox - he's trying so hard to hang on to all his apples!  I though a few giant-sized ones from our Fruit Salad DSP would be the perfect detail addition, too, lol - imagine how big his eyes would be!  Anyway, there are also 3 great sentiments of encouragement and support - just perfect for a quick pick-me-up!  Love him!
Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set; Fruit Salad & Gray Granite (retired) DSP; Basic White, Gray Granite & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red & Cajun Craze Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Transparent Dots in Lemon Lime Twist; #SS769.

Monochromatic Clouds

Oo, another fun one - The Male Room #195 wants to see something monochrome!
I almost did some mushrooms in sepias - I've been seeing that around and it looks so awesome!  However, I spotted my Bright Skies bundle and realized that I have a feeling this one won't be with us much longer, lol, so it's should get some ink!  I did some layers in grays:  Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Gray Granite & Pebbled Path - I also found a little Smoky Slate Twine!  I cut out a few pretty clouds with the dies, and finished with my Basic Gray Pearls - so elegant...  I know I could have monochromes anything, but with hubby red-green colorblind, we lean towards gray around here, lol.
Bright Skies Stamp Set; Basic White, Basic Gray & Smoky Slate CS; Basic Gray, Gray Granite & Pebbled Path Inks; Bright Skies Dies; Smoky Slate Twine; Basic Gray Pearls; TMR195.
