The Short Of It

Here I am back at Stampin' Pals #12 - the challenge this month is "favorite technique!"
I was hard-pressed to pick just one thing, lol.  And I'm not sure if what I fell back on even qualifies!  I LOVE to color and fussy cut - so much!  Is that a technique?  I added  my next fave in line, paper-piecing, just in case, lol.  We have so many great dies these days, I had to really dig for a good one that I'd cut by hand - and Hot Dog wins the day!  Check out this little cutie!  I stamped and colored him with my blends, the paper-pieced him a little blanket and beret, lol - too cute, right?  After I fussy cut my guy, I cut an extra flap at the top of the blanket, to fold behind him, creating a softer edge - I love the look!  Purple Posy looks perfect on him!

Yum!  Time Out Challenges #181 has a tasty inspiration pic for us this week!  Love it!
I love looking at pretty cookies, almost as much as I love eating them, lol.  Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to make these lovelies at home?  Alas, I can only make them in paper, lol, and I had some fun picking out a few patterns to mix up for my own "platter!"  I went back to my Heart To Heart set for my sentiment, and used the wonderful country hearts in the Stitched Be Mine Dies - so pretty!

Cupcake Hearts

Whew!  I can JUST squeak in to a new challenge I've been wanting to try for some time - this is the love-inspired Cupcake Inspirations #512!  So tasty, I can't resist, lol.
I decided to pull out my rarely-used Heart To Heart set for this one - it has a little outline heart stamp in it that's just right!  I made a lovely spray of hearts in tasty cupcake colors across my front panel, and floated this little sentiment over it all.  I think I'll leave off any Valentine's reference - it can be a little love note any time of year that way!  I'm a little embarrassed - I actually only got this set for the DIES, lol - I think this might be the second time I've ever used it!  Yikes!

Wow!  Less Is More #436 is celebrating a BIG milestone - with CHOCOLATE!  It's their 10th Birthday this week!  Congrats, ladies!
So, ugh, there IS such a thing as chocolate overload - I just did a chocolate card yesterday, lol.  However, I remembered this adorable set from 2018 - I don't think I ever used it enough!  Ironically, this set is called More Than Chocolate - the same as my blog post yesterday - sigh.  I had a good time putting together this little box of sweets, and imagining all the flavors I might have in there!  Yum!

More Than Chocolate

In perfect timing, CAS on Friday #198 has a "love" theme for us this week!
I don't tend to gravitate towards the Valentine-specific stamp sets these days, but I can always find some "love" in the sets I do have, lol.  It occurred to me that I don't think I've ever used these die-cut words from our adorable Nothing's Better Than bundle - so let's do it!  Now, I do admit, it feels a little sacrilegious to put this out on a card for all to see, but yes, my guy qualifies, lol.  I kept it all pretty straight-forward, and found some awesome enamel hearts at the last minute.  Time to go dig up some chocolate!

We have a lovely wide-open sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #494!  Won't it look beautiful in our bold colors at SU Only #269, too!
I decided I wanted to feature our gorgeous Friends Are Like Seashells suite again, and wouldn't you know it, there's this beautiful Melon Mambo sheet of DSP that has  a "bleach" effect - score!  Looking now, I think I may have totally misread this sketch - for some reason, I only focused on the off-set layer idea, lol - oops!  I had fun adding touches of the remaining colors for SUO, and snuck in some silver seaweed behind my shells.  I'm loving the finished look!
I hope you can join us at one or both of these challenges - I can't wait to see YOUR projects!

We have a lovely romantic sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #492, and we'd like to see a 3-D item for SU Only #268.  And just to round out my three-fer, I have these perfect bold colors from Retro Rubber #151 - black, white and red!  This is a tall order!
I started by deciding on a tag for my 3-D item - just in time for hubby's Valentine's present, too!  I went on the prowl for something old and gooey (lol) on my shelves of retirement, and came across PS. I Love You from 2012 - still so sweet!  This is the one that has the little chocolate-covered strawberry in it, too - remember that?  Yum!  Anyway, this "heart of hearts" was my fave image from that set, and I even still have the punch, natch.  From there, all I needed to do was shrink down the sketch to fit on a tag - whew!  I love how it came out, and can't wait to plant it on my sweetie!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects this week, too - meet you at the challenges!
PS. I Love You Stamp Set (retired 2012); Basic Black, Real Red & Whisper White CS; Real Red & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Full Heart & Scallop Edge Border Punches (both retired); Real Red Cotton Ribbon; Clothespin; Resin Heart Embellishments; #TSOT492; #SUOC268; #RRCB151.

Looky, looky - we're going old school at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #490!  I'm making it all about the love for this week's SU Only #267, too!
Such a fun sketch - and it cries out for some fun new DSP, too!  Once I spotted this sentiment in my Sweet Ice Cream set, I couldn't help but pick through my new Ice Cream Corner DSP for something juicy to go with it!  Once I had my background all laid out, I decided on a pair of popsicles (gotta have 2!), and decided to cut the sentiment on a sweet heart besides, lol.  I think I'm having a sugar rush just looking at this thing!
So what will YOU make for us this week?  I can't wait to see your creations, over at the challenges!

I think I might be a bit spoiled for choice with this week's die cut challenge at The Male Room #139, lol.  How to choose?
Well, I think I'll start with a browse for some "manly" dies, lol.  And what did I find tucked way back at the back but the dies for Geared Up Garage!  Not only is it still current, I haven't used it in QUITE an age, lol.  I even still have the DSP, so I decided to try my hand at using the dies to cut these fun gears from one of the sheets - so cool!  And this jump-start sentiment is still my fave - think I'll surprise hubby with a love note!

I'm loving our lovely layers this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #462, and I'm going to bring in our theme of "patterns," too!
I think there's no better way to hit this challenge than to bring in a new suite, this time it's Whale Done.  I gotta say, this beauty had me at "hello," lol.  The stamp set is perfectly coordinated with pretty images and nifty font for the sentiments, the DSP is AMAZING, there's a punch, sequins, beautiful sheer ribbon, and did I mention the embossing folder?  It's over-the-top ocean goodness, folks.  I'm in LURVE, lol.  Have I gushed enough??
I hope you can join us for this round, and I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenge!
