Joy of the Ocean (& Pumpkin Club June 27!)

6/18/2020

Yay! Another fun and summery grid to play with at this month's Joy of Sets #018!
After my usual dithering, I finally settled on the right-hand column, animals - ombre - fussy cut. I also decided to check out my new fave DSP pack Whale of a Time for something ombre, just in case! I totally lucked out when I spotted this waves sheet - swoon! Whale Done is IN! And since this suite features a punch for the Whale, I had to fussy cut my turtles, lol - see how it all works out?? I added some seaweed diecuts from the Smooth Sailing dies that go with Sailing Home, and since I had it out, I went with a sentiment from that set, too. I'm really happy with how ocean-y this came out, lol.

Veggie Happiness (& Pumpkin Club May 30!)

This is cool - Inspire Create Challenge #069 is asking us to be inspired by a really cute project - fun!
I decided what was most catching my eye was the bright contrast of colors, so I decided to do a play on that. And of course, another fun set for those colors is our retiring Garden Goodness! Tomatoes, pepper, even the avocado is just right for them, lol. In my own garden, I'm bringing in a handful of tomatoes every day now, so glad I did all different kinds! Anyway, I tried to make a play on the blocky layout, too, and I'm really happy with the look! If you don't have it yet, make sure you get your avocado before it's gone, lol!

Sunday Tropics (& Pumpkin "Zoom" Club April 25!)

4/19/2020

1 Comment

Mm, loving our tropical escape colors at this week's Sunday Stamps #229 - even though I'm not in Maui right now where I'm supposed to be, lol...
I had some fun picking my colors to approximate our inspiration today - they look so cool all stacked up together! Once I had a tropical idea in my head, it was also hard to pivot away from that, so I just let myself go with it and pulled in Waterfront to build my scene. I added some sunny speckles to my background, and a bit of ribbon, finishing with the Candy Dots - I miss these little guys so much!
I can't wait to see what YOU do with our colors - I'll meet you at the challenge!

Flowering Foils (& Pumpkin Club March 28!)

Oh yes, here's a beautiful bold sketch from this week's In{k}spire Me #416 - love this!
Now I FINALLY get a chance to take out the new SAB papers out for a spin - take a look at the lovely So Very Vellum, and the gorgeous Flowering Foils! I think I like these foiled sheets even more than ones we've had in the past - they aren't printed on glossy CS, so they take color PERFECTLY! You're also getting a little sneak peek at Ornate Thanks - a set that will be in our next Big Book, but will be available for you to pre-order next month! Wait'll you see this giant suite! So glad I had a chance to show all this off at once - see what an awesome sketch can do??

Stitched Love (& Pumpkin Club Feb 29!)

Very fun! In{k}spire Me #414 is all about Valentine's! Still time for some sweetness!
I decided to go on a different track this time: the other day, I was looking at this chevron stamp when I used Believe You Can last, and I got to thinking about how it would be fun to play with color with it. Well, today's that day, lol. I did a chevron column in reds (only a tiny bit wavy, lol), with a couple heart clusters, topped off by this beautiful classic Valentine's sentiment from Heart to Heart. So fun! Now I want to try doing the chevron in all different colors, not just tones of one. The wheels are spinning!

Dressed to Impress (& Pumpkin Club Jan 25!)

1/17/2020

We're stacking the deck on you this week at Fab Friday #181!
I of course had to go looking for a fun shape to put into this sketch! Pens? Paintbrushes? Branches? Feathers? OooOOoo! What about LIPSTICK?? Lol, just the thing. I hand-cut a nice bold banner from my Best Dressed DSP pack, and quickly cranked out five lipsticks in the coordinating colors - love these dies! I couldn't fit the sentiment I wanted to use onto one of the lipsticks - but I like it floated off to the side like this, too. I even still have a few Lovely Lipstick Glimmer Enamel Dots to finish it with!
So, what will YOU come up with? I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenge!

Just Add Bees (& Pumpkin Club MOVED to Jan 4!)

Very cool layout - and so glad I can sneak in and play at this week's Just Add Ink #487 sketch!
When I wrapped my mind around this sketch, I knew immediately I wanted to play with shapes, as usual, lol. How about some sweet bees instead of circles?? Done! I floated a center panel of the gorgeous Golden Honey DSP from Sale--Bration, and added my bees around a fun sentiment in the middle. So cute and simple. I think this might be the last outing for my gold Wink of Stella, sigh, but I loved it while it lasted!

Cutie Pie Tree (& Pumpkin Club Dec 28!)

12/19/2019

Here's a fun one! The Male Room #126 is doing a box or bag challenge! Just in time for gift-giving!
I have to admit, I kinda took an easy way out, and went and browsed all my dies for something cute and not used recently. And I came across the Cutie Pie dies, which, {GASP} I seriously can't remember EVER using! How sad is that? I'm pretty sure I had visions of building fun paper cakes and all kinds of triangle designs, but I think it passed me by, lol. I don't even have the stamp set that goes with this anymore - I think it might have been from 2015? Anyway, I looked at the dies, and thought, you know, you could do a funny Christmas tree with this and fill it with a gift card and Hershey kisses for the neighbor kid who watches the dogs sometimes - so I did just that! He'll love it!

The Sewing Machine (& Pumpkin Club & Tag Buffet Nov 30!)

11/23/2019

Oooo! This week's Library Challenge #46 is the wonderful The Sewing Machine by Natalie Fergie - what a great read!
So this one ended up being a tough one for me, since I apparently don't have my Sew Suite set anymore - bummer! Fortunately, I could still bring in my Needle & Thread set to save the day! I kept things fairly simple and chose a lovely background sheet from the Needlepoint Nook DSP, then made a pretty stitched medallion for a quiet but cheery get well. I finished with a few needlepoint details and tiny rhinestones. I love all these blues together!

Gathered Pumpkins (& Pumpkin Club Oct 26!)

Hm, The Sisterhood of Crafters is having a "wood" theme this week, and there are some seriously cute offerings in the DT samples! I gotta try this...
I remembered that there is a woodgrain sheet in our gorgeous Come to Gather pack - love these planks! With that as my starting point, I decided to just keep going with the Gather Together suite. I also wanted to give this "invisible" coloring style a stab, too. I tried with both Blends Markers, on the pumpkins, and Watercolor Pencils, on the leaf. My method wasn't very scientific, lol. I just stamped my images in stamped off Sahara Sand, and then just tried to make sure I covered up those lines in my coloring. An interesting idea that I need to look into more! It made for some fun experimenting today!
Gather Together Stamp Set; Come to Gather DSP; Whisper White & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso & Sahara Sand Inks; Watercolor Pencils Pack 2; Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede & Color Lifter Blends Markers; Gathered Leaves & Stitched Shapes Dies; Leaves Trinkets; Copper Sequin; #TSOCWoodRelated.
