Melt My Heart

1/19/2021

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!

Oh goody - another speed challenge at As You See It #218 - this time in shades of brown!
This one was a tight one for me! I finally settled on using Parisian Beauty - all I could think about was a nice Espresso Eiffel Tower, lol. I spent a few minutes gathering all my supplies ready to hand, and I was off! Cutting my layers - check. Stamping my background - check. Eiffel Tower? Uh oh - when was the last time I re-inked this pad?? OK, slightly slower check. Linen thread - check! Sentiment? Oops, I can't just have one layer of this - how fast can I run 3 and stack them together? Yikes!! Assemble, assemble, assemble... Aaaaand - 9 minutes, 25 seconds. I wasn't sure I was going to make it there at the end, lol. I felt like I was on Chopped!

Ski Snow Much

Hm, The Male Room #128 has a tough challenge this week - "It's snowing!"
I had to head to the retired shelves for this one, but I think I already knew I'd wind up pulling out Mountain Adventure - let's have some snowboards and skis! I started at the bottom with the sentiment, then stacked up alternating skis and snowboards. I thought I'd take colors to go with a Pool Party card base, then found one lonely Tutti-Frutti card base in the scrap folder - yes! I think this is the very last of all my Tutti-Frutti sets, finally, lol. Anyway, I chose my reds and blues to contrast with that, and I'm really happy with the results! Hope it's snowy enough!

Ooo, time for a little romance at this week's Sunday Stamps #223!
Sometimes I find color challenges to be tough going, and today was definely one of those days, lol. I finally settled on our gorgeous Modern Heart set, and I colored the heart all funky-fun with a few of our colors. I love all the sentiments in this one, too, and I was glad to feature this loving one to go with the heart. I did sneak in a few touches of gold - must have been the candle flame that got me going there, lol...
So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see your beauties, over at the challenge!

Aww, look at the sweet image As You See It #217 has for their "love" theme this week! I think I can match in these lovely colors from Inspire Create Challenge #061, too!
So, I just happen to have gotten a new order in this week, and as usual, I browse that "to be stamped" stack on my desk FIRST when I need some inspiration. Keeping my eyes peeled for anything with "love" in it, I quickly sussed out our new Outdoor Barbecue set - this is for a future man card class in May, lol. But how hilarious as a love card now?? I'm so on it, AND I think this is hubby's Valentine from me, lol. So perfect!

Amy's Pickled Limes

OooOOooo, The Library Challenge #47 has an AWESOME title for us this week - Little Women!
So, I wish I had some little ice skaters or something - usually I like to play right on the book covers for TLC. This time, though, it was not to be, lol. So how about we talk about Amy's pickled limes?? I loved that chapter, and remember so well the feeling of being so willing to try anything to fit in where I thought I didn't, sigh. I pulled out my Lemon Zest set, and made up my limes - darker with a tiny tinge of yellow for the pickling. Take that, Mr. Davis! You can't keep a good pickled lime down!

We have an awesome landscape sketch for you this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #424 - AND we're teaming up with Joy of Sets #009's tic-tac-toe! Awesome!
I had the hardest time ever figuring out which way I wanted to go with the grid challenge - tough one! I finally settled on the left column - Love-lace-diecuts. Whew! Once that was settled, I pulled out my newly arrived Modern Heart set - this cutie can bring on the love! I chose some sweet pinks to go with, and my beloved Sahara Sand Lace Trim for the lace - simple and cute!
So, what will YOU create?? I can't wait to see your cards over at the challenge!

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

OK, The Library Challenge #40 has a quirky one for us this week - Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. The art looks cute!
I decided to do a little card inspired by the cover - not exactly the theme of the book, lol, but still a cute play on it! I went with my "sketchiest" birds, from the January 2019 Paper Pumpkin, Be Mine Valentine. Then I thought for a while and came up with these words to stamp using my old Labeler Alphabet (miss this one so much!) onto some Word Bubble die shapes. As you can see, I even kept the colors pretty close, too. I don't know why, but I want to crack up every time I look at this card - must be an inside joke, yuk, yuk. Too fun! (I stamped "You're so fly" on the inside!)
