 Woo, this is a tall order! Shopping Our Stash #541 is called "thrice as nice," and they want us to use at least THREE different DSPs on our card! Yikes! At first I was all in a tizzy - is that even possible?? Then I remembered the cute Fruit Salad card I did with the Everyday Arches Dies - now THERE'S a way to show off some DSP! How about a crisp and cheery version for Christmas?? I dug out my old Let It Snow Specialty DSP pack to choose some perfect patterns - love these sheets with the glitter detail on them! Then I stamped a nice big Christmas sentiment from Peaceful Season for the center seam - perfect! A few Glitter Sequins is just the right finishing touch! And if you count the envelope, I got SEVEN patterns on there! Woo!

 Very fun - Inspire Create Challenge #184 is back with a fancy fold challenge! A fun fold always gives such a good chance to show off some fun DSP in new ways - even the simplest of them let you play with shapes and layers! I pulled out a simple z-fold card today, and decided to go with the bright happy colors in Friends of the Ocean DSP pack! I hadn't stamped the lobster yet, so he got to come out to play as well! I went right for one of the color combos suggested in the catty - Summer Sky and Pool Party - looks so good! I really haven't been using Summer Sky as much as I thought I would - so nice to have some paper inspiration for it finally!

So fun - the latest Cupcake Inspirations #608 would like us to add a bow or ribbon! I couldn't resist dipping back into my ephemera stash for this one - I have so much left even after classes and tags! I have this one big sentiment that I've been dying to use - just makes me think of winter wonderland scenes, and blessed nights! So, I naturally paired it with my retired-but-still-adored O Holy Night DSP - so many great things to do with all the starry sheets! I added a tiny 1/8" Silver Ribbon for my bow, and finished with a few Silver Glitter Sequins. Simple and glorious!

I'm so excited to play along with penguins at Cupcake Inspiration #606! So you know I totally had to pull out my beloved Penguin Place set from 2022 - these guys are still SO cute! And of course I still have the DSP, lol, so I set up this pretty snowy scene for them to play in, complete with a hill for sliding, and a few tiny snowflakes! I kept the background and penguin details in Fresh Freesia - close enough to the pink in the snowflake, I think! So fun!

So many ways to go with Time Out Challenge #274's inspiration quote! After some thought, I decided to try a little bit of chalkboard action, but I also couldn't resist combining my older coffee sets with our yummy A Little Latte DSP, lol. I set up this fun coffee background, then created two coffee cups from our old Coffee Cafe and Merry Cafe sets - they work perfectly together! A pretty swirly cup with the "coffee helps" sleeve says it perfectly, along with the smaller woodgrain cup and a "you and coffee" phrase, lol. I think they look great together! I even finished with a few Swirl Dots!

Super fun - Shopping Our Stash #532 wants to see a Halloween scene! Yay! I knew right away I wanted to use my favorite dotty sheet from 2018's Frightful Sight DSP - such great colors! I combined it with 2019's Spooktacular Bash, for a chummy portrait block of monsters, lol. They're giving each other the hairy eyeball! It was fun to add a touch of color to each image - who knew there are Soft Sea Foam vampires?? Anyway, I also did the ornate back-frame for my sentiment - a bit of a clean-up job, but SUCH a pretty result! Later, Ghoulfriend!

Festive Friday #168 has a great choice for us - World Cardmaking Day! Now, you may have noticed, I seem to have Christmas on the brain these days - I so get that way once the Holiday Catty comes out, lol! So I couldn't resist going Christmas with this one, too, and I found just the elements to use in our A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP pack! I chose this lovely ornaments card front, because I find red, darker green and vanilla very vintage. I added a "For You" sentiment with our Greetings of the Season bundle - the tag let me sneak on a bit of Jute Twine (that I might have stolen off a jar of apple butter from a friend, lol.) I finished with a few Very Vanilla Enamel Dots - I never get to use them!

I'm so super excited that this month's theme at AAA Birthday #64 is critters! I can never get enough of them, lol... As I was checking over my current critter section, I spied my remainder of the By Your Side kit - SUCH cute kitties and dogs in this kit! It was a generous kit, and I still have a few cats, plus one Bassett Hound, left, lol. I decided to use my last "tangled" kitty - isn't he the cutest? While I did use the included stamp set on the envelope, I pulled out my Simply Said set for my birthday sentiment - I can't believe how much I use this set! I gave him some Gold Cording Trim to wiggle around on, and also used the last of the kit's heart embellies, too. Since I was doing tone-on-tone layers, I also decided to distress my top layer - such a quick detail!

What beautiful cookies at this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #194! Aloha! This sent me straight to my old Timeless Tropical bundle from 2022 - I even still have some Tropical Oasis DSP! I decided to try my hand at a bold Hibiscus, to set off this sweet layered aloha included in the dies - I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I started with Lemon Lolly layered over the stamen, then added some bolder accents of Dark Melon Mambo to the petals, I then went over it all with a layer of Petal pink to soften up the darker accents, then continued to blend both shades of Mambo til I felt done. I did lighten a few edges with more Petal Pink to finish. I floated my "cookie" over a background of smaller hibiscus and plumeria - I can smell the islands now! I'm having quite the tropical weekend - yay! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set (retired 2022); Tropical Oasis DSP (retired); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo.

The Male Room #187 has a great challenge for us this month - to use ribbon or twine! I went a little bit backwards in my design today, and decided what ribbon I wanted to use first, which was this first-run Mini Striped Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon - love this stuff! What guy card could I make with this one? Something in greeeeeen - hey, how about Sweet Peas again?? Bwahaha! Now THIS is the combo that I actually got this set for - look at that little frowny pea-face!! I crack up every time I even think of it, lol. I went back to my Full of Life DSP pack for a likely green sheet, and it all took off from there. Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green together are SO growing on me! So to speak, lol...
