Plentiful Plants

Oh, super YUM! Check out the gorgeous color challenge at this week's As You See It #261! They're speaking my love language with that green and purple!
I did a quick browse of my sets, and kept coming back to Plentiful Plants - there are some extra detail dies in the die set that I bet I could do in silver! I did this simple little pair of plants just how I imagined, and I finally got to use the cool hanging basket arrangement, too! I unearthed some Glitter Enamel Dots in Granny Apple Green, too - I'm so happy with how this came out! Such a great set!

Pleasant Poppies

Dang, what a cool combo at this week's Fusion "poppy door" challenge! I want a door like that!
I of course still have my still-current Painted Poppies set, but for the focal column, I decided to go back to our old 2013 background stamp, Pleasant Poppies. I felt like this one fit the inspiration image a little better! I still pulled in the other set for the envelope, and an inside panel, lol, and that led naturally to using Peaceful Moments for my sentiment, as this was the companion set for it anyway. I'm really happy with this simple layout, and my layered tags!

Time for another game of tic-tac-toe this week over at Retro Rubber #168! Yay!
I quickly picked out the far left column: one word sentiment - thanks - something that flies. I was thinking a bird or a dragonfly, really, but then I spotted my old Above the Clouds set that retired last year - I love these two-step balloons! I used my Greetings Dies to layer up a nice robust "thanks" in Pool Party, then had some fun making some bright balloons to fly around - such a sunny card! I totally forgot I have a punch for this, too - I was already done fussy-cutting them when I remembered, lol.

Excellent - Hand Stamped Sentiments #373 has the quite the foxy story board for us this week!
And that snoozing fox was what my eyes went straight to, lol. I was immediately reminded of all the cute foxes in our SAB DSP pack, Penguin Playmates - yes! I even have a fun black and white check paper in Playful Patterns! Since I couldn't choose just one fox, I had to fussy cut them all, and then I pulled a sentiment from my beloved Banner Year set. Just a little of this, a little of that today, lol. Super cute!

We have some fiery party colors for you this week at Sunday Stamps #267!
I couldn't resist breaking out the ice pops for this party - yum! Such bright colors, they were made for popsicles, lol. I kept it pretty stamps-ink-paper, but found a few Real Red dots at the last second so what the heck! These'll beat the heat for sure!

I am LOVING the combo over at this week's In{k}spire Me #458 - we could all use some sparkle in our lives!
I really mulled this one over for a while - the DT samples were so inspiring! I really wanted to try my hand at funky colors for natural elements, so I finally landed on Nature's Harvest to try it with! Those stem die shapes in the die set are just TOO enticing, lol. I pulled in Tailor Made Tags for my ovals, added my stems, and built the background around them - and I love the final result!

Ooo, looky looky! CAS on Friday #214 has a pretty sketch for us this week!
The timing couldn't have been more perfect to pull out my just-arrived To The Moon set. I love this one because of the perfectly lunar subtle images, and all the sweet sentiments to go with - such a great range in this one! I kept it all pretty CAS for the challenge, but I HAD to try out the brilliant ribbon application by CASOF design team member Valerie Durag - genius! Totally trying this again!

Ooo, lovely! Time Out Challenges #196 has a very cool theme - "brave!" This could go a lot of ways!
I wrestled back and forth over whether I had something scary in the Halloween line for this, and finally realized I couldn't help but think of this as being more for our men and women in service to our country. I keep them in my daily prayers. They are the true brave ones, and their families. Please Lord, keep them safe, and close to Your presence, always.

Wow, there's an amazing "nautical bear" cake for the inspiration side at this week's Fusion! Love that layered sketch, too!
Hm, I think I'll do a little picking and choosing for this one! First up, the still-gorgeous-but-retired-now Sand & Sea DSP has the perfect sheet to go with those lovely wrapped layers on the cake! To finish things off, I do have a current nautical set, Sailing Home! This is my fave lighthouse, and my fave sea-sentiment to go with - I even had one lonely anchor left from our old Sail Away Trinkets to go with the one on the cake! Perfect!

Look at the bold fresh colors that Inspire Create Challenge #97 has for this week - gorgeous!
I'm excited to show off another recent SAB arrival - Delicate Dahlias! I am fascinated by this set, I admit, because of the combo of line art AND DistINKtive images! I know I'll be trying my hand at combining them at some point, but today, I took the DistINKtive elements for a spin. At first I thought I was going to play with getting two colors on the flowers together, but then I realized - duh, just stamp two flowers, lol. I must need a cuppa or something! I did go ahead and fussy cut a mask so I could put some partial leaves around them, too - love it!
