Friday Smiles (& Pumpkin Club May 27!)

5/18/2023

This looks like a fun one, lol, Festive Friday #134 is celebrating National Smile Day!
I knew I had to use this smiley sentiment from my Sending Smiles set - love it! I did use the other flower, though. This one reminds me of lavender, but I made it yellow for the challenge, lol. It has to be done, and I think it's great! Anyway, I have yellow, black, smile sentiment, and enamel dots - that's plenty for National Smile Day! I went a little crazy with my stems, too!
Sending Smiles Stamp Set; Basic White, Daffodil Delight & Basic Black CS; Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Sending Dies; Matte Black Dots; #FF0134.

Excellent - Shopping Our Stash #494 has an "April Showers" challenge this round!
I couldn't resist going back to our cute Playing in the Rain suite for this one - I can't believe how smitten I became with this set! I went with this playful umbrella background to get started, and then decided to fussy cut a cute "extra" critter from another DSP sheet. Isn't this soggy pup darling? I did all my coordinating in Balmy Blue, even opening up this ribbon roll for the first time, lol. This let me use some leftover embellies from the coordinating Paper Pumpkin kit we had, too! I am stashing this one for sure!

Welcoming Window (& Pumpkin Club moved to April 1!)

I sure hope you like our fun party colors this round at Sunday Stamps #305!
Today I started my Spring drive to make sure I hunt down sets that I haven't used enough, to give them some love. Welcoming Window is one I have been fascinated with, yet somehow never seem to pull out for stamping! Since I feel like I spy a little gray in our popping colors, I settled on this one so I could sneak in some bricks to take care of the gray, then spread the rest of my bright colors over all my pieces! I wish I had a little cabin with Orchid Oasis trim - so cute!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty colors - meet you there!

Regal Reindeer (& Pumpkin Club Mar 25!)

Yay! Time for another challenge at NBUS #48! I have just the thing!
Right at the end of our Holiday Catty, the mother ship let us know that Regal Reindeer and its dies would be carrying over, but NOT as a bundle, so I quick snagged it while I could still get the discounted price. I didn't do this set at all for last year's holiday classes, so I have a feeling we'll see at this year's Christmas in July, lol. Anyway, what a great set to break in here! I had some fun setting up a little snowy scene - these reindeer really ARE regal!

My Carrot Valentine (& Pumpkin Club Feb 25!)

OK, we're going straight for the big one - Cardz 4 Guyz #315 wants a Valentine for a guy!
So, I'm all done with pink and red for this year, lol. So let's try carrots instead! I so love our Sale-a-Bration set, Thanks a Bunch, so much! We just don't have anything else like it, and it's so FUN! I decided it was perfect for a bit of vegetable love, lol. I built three grand carrots with Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie, and gave them some Granny Apple Green leaves. A Granny Apple love banner was perfect across the bottom, and I finished with a few of the lighter Old Olive Matte Decorative Dots - just right! This so makes me giggle!

There's a fun new "bears" challenge at this round's AAA Cards #231!
My favorite CURRENT bear (don't even ask about my retired critter collection, lol) is in the super cute Count On Me set. I love this plumpy guy, lol. I kept things super CAS, simple layers, easy coloring, and just added a few tiny details to dress him up a tiny bit! Fun and fast!

Merry Ornaments (& Pumpkin Club Dec 31!)

Here's a lovely challenge to close out the year - The Sisterhood of Crafters would like to see something in traditional Christmas colors - red and green!
Another set I'm super sad to see retire is the gorgeous and versatile Spruced Up bundle. I can't believe how many times I pulled this one out! Love the trees, lol. Anyway, I decided to use an ornament that I haven't even inked up yet this time, and I did one each in Real Red and Old Olive. I added the star accents when I spotted it in the dies, lol. I floated them over a panel of embossed Whimsical Trees, and finished with a last few details - quick and cute!

Begin With a Dreamer (& Pumpkin Club Nov 26!)

Such a pretty book cover at this month's Once Upon a Time #4!
I actually don't know this book, but what a gorgeous cover! I tried to design a card inspired by the lovely colors and design elements, and, of course, an apt "dream" sentiment! I had just the thing in the Begin With a Dream set, over a few details I thought I could come close to. I actually really like the result - I don't do much in this style, so I felt pretty unsure of where I was headed, lol. Whew!

Whew - so glad to be able to play this round finally at The Sisterhood of Crafters' "one for the guys" challenge!
I haven't pulled out my He's All That suite in far too long, and I can never get enough of the manly DSP! I went with a barbecue theme for this one - hubby does the grilling in our house, and I just had to use the BBQ sheet, lol. We even had a little grill in the die-cut pieces sheets - perfect! I did up a medallion of the smoky sentiment, and popped everything together - simple and quick!

Leaf Fall (& Pumpkin Club Sep 24!)

9/19/2022

Excellent - Can You Handle the Pressure is back with a new twist - FALL! Great timing, lol.
This is my chance to use my brand new EF called Leaf Fall - such a pretty pattern, and it's kind of lost in the Holiday Catalog, so make sure you go take a look for it! I used mine to do some corner texture on Crumb Cake, which I floated over a layer of Cajun Craze. I added this pretty sentiment from Gathered Wheat, then a leaf from our old 2018 set, Vintage Leaves. I colored a few of the embossed leaves with a water painter, just to add a tiny bit more movement. Simple and pretty!
