Pudding 4 Guyz

11/25/2022

Good one! Cardz 4 Guyz #309 would like to see some manly thank yous this round!
I decided this would be a great chance to try out the punny thank you in A Little Cheesy - so funny! I did an all-over background in this striped sheet from the Design A Daydream DSP pack, and floated my feature over that on a Stitched Rectangle. The pudding bowl was super easy to fussy-cut for some extra dimension! I finished with some Blackberry Bliss Ribbon and some purple Glossy Dots - looks tasty to me!

We're all lined up this round at Sunday Stamps #296!
For my three shapes, I decided to three pretty plants in fancy pots, all in a row, lol. It's been too long since Plentiful Plants has been out to play! I started with some cheery pot colors, and then selected my greens for the different plants - so much fun to mix and match! I floated everything over this elegant neutral sheet from our Sun Prints pack, and added my sentiment down below. Today you get a little sneak peek at the Gold Swirl embellies that are on a special release with our Fitting Florets suite that's on pre-order right now - love them!

Wow, that's a fascinating inspiration pic over at Fusion's "Thanks Strawberries" this round! Tough one!
I thought for sure that I was only going to be able to get the sketch in there, but then I remembered - I think I actually have a chocolate-covered strawberry stamp! I found it in my old PS. I Love You set from 2012 - this set just has the cutest hearts! I followed the basic layout, and used some dotty red to look like a strawberry. I colored up my berry with markers, gave it a huff, and it was just right! A simple card, but so sweet!

Time for another challenge "recipe" here at As You See It #287! Come cook with us!
This was a tough one, but, I finally decided I really wanted to use my A Fish & A Wish set - fishes are masculine! At least I think of them that way since hubby loves all things fishing so much, lol. Anyway, I played up lots of different blues, with some Crumb Cake details for my earth tones. Since the fish set uses the Fish Builder punch, I pulled in a diecut from Stylish Shapes for my sentiment. To finish us off, I had to have MY fish blowing little sequin mix bubbles, lol. So close to leaving off the bling! Alas, it was not to be, lol.
I can't wait to see what YOU cook up with our recipe suggestions - see you there!

Nice! Time Out Challenge #225 wants us to be "thankful" for this one - I'm on it!
I wanted to use a set that actually used the word "thankful" for this one, and a quick scan pulled out Gathered Wheat for me. Such a pretty set - I was excited when it came out, because I really don't have anything else like it! I hunted for some DSP in yellows, and came across this pretty So Saffron sheet in Happy Forest Friends - so perfect for setting off the golden wheat! I had a good time pulling in all the elements for this one!

Whew! I can JUST squeak in to Festive Friday #119's celebration of Farmer's Day! What an inspo list!
It took me a minute to realize - what a perfect theme for my beloved Best of Cluck set from 2006! There's even some thank you chicks, lol. SO, I was able to squeeze in farm animals, gingham, die cut, kraft and thank you! I love how bright and cheery it all came out! I went back to my hoarded pack of Gingham Gala DSP and floated a Daffodil sheet of that over Crumb Cake. I cut out my cute little chickies with an oval die, colored in with my Blends, and finished with some Glossy Dots. Quick and fresh!

Such gorgeous colors Fusion has for us at their "autumn leaves" challenge!
That said, I didn't actually stick to those colors - I ended up going a little brighter, lol. This leafy sheet from our Celebrate Everything was just too tempting! From there, I stamped a few leaves from my old Vintage Leaves set from 2018 in matching colors, then finished with this sentiment from Celebrate Sunflowers. Before I glued everything down, I remembered to emboss my background with our Leaf Fall folder, too - I keep forgetting to pull that out!

There's a super fun combo at this week's Fusion Front Porch challenge - great sketch AND inspo pic!
I had to think for a bit to decide on a direction - I think I must have sold my retired "bench" set - drat! In the end I went with this little scene using Plentiful Plants - still love this one - and added some brick texture. I had the impression of pale blues and greens, so I went with that for my colors, too. I'm so pleased with how it came out - I have a tough time playing both sides at Fusion most of the time, lol.

I love the little twist The Flower Challenge #72 is adding this round - "add sparkle!" This blog is SO rehabbing my flower-phobia!
For today's card, I chose Sending Smiles - I just love these stems and blossoms! The dies make it so easy to cut out all the pieces, or, you can just build it by stamping it all together - photopolymer makes for SUCH easy placement. It's funny, I don't often use the big "sending" sentiment that goes with all these cute phrases - it's so big, by the time I'm placing my flowers, I've run out of room, lol. Stamp-World problems, I know, lol.

Perfect Pomegranate

As usual, I have a stack of not-yet-used stuff waiting to go on my desk for this month's NBUS #42!
I have a doozy of a NBUS today - here's my first inking of Perfect Pomegranate, the Sale-a-Bration Hostess set, which I did NOT manage to squeeze in til after SAB was over, lol. I just couldn't squeeze it in this time! I was happy to give it a go today, and I went for this pair of poms, hanging from their branch. I did them up in Merry Merlot as being closest in color. Now that I've stamped them, sigh, I LOVE them, lol. This set was way better designed than I had noticed at first glance! I'll have to contrive to get them out again soon!
