Hydrangea Colors

5/11/2021

We have such a fun color challenge this week for SU Only #275, - hydrangea colors!
So, I have a little secret - I totally did NOT get anything from this year's Hydrangea Suite, lol. It's pretty! I just have a lot of other flowers, too, lol. So I just went for a straight-up color gamp, and since I don't update my DSP color stacks very often, you get a range of patterns, too! Win - win! Lol... Anyway, I decided my little scrappy layout could have this lovely sentiment from Ornate Thanks, and I cut it out with a die from Ornate Layers. I let Highland Heather be my feature color, because, well, I AM Heather, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR creations with these fun colors! Meet you at the challenge!
Ornate Thanks Stamp Set; Highland Heather, Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, Rococo Rose & Old Olive DSP; Basic White CS; Highland Heather Ink; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #SUOC275.

Let's Get Messy - May 15, 3 pm!
Ah, our favorite techniques class of the year is finally here! In this class we explore new techniques, tools and goodies, that maybe make a bit of a (ahem) mess!

Bye Bye Butterflies

We have a super cute sketch for you this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #505 - and you could add pastels if you wanted, too!
Today will mark my final farewell tribute (not that I ever really stop using retired stamps, lol) and I couldn't resist showing off Butterfly Gala one last time. I even went back in time and trotted out some of the Gingham Gala DSP that released when this set first came out in that year's Sale-A-Bration, so I could cover "pastels" with a bang! Ah, my beloved Lemon Lime Twist, you were gone too soon from us, sigh. Anyway, these cute little guys have turned in to my all-time fave butterflies - these will definitely be sticking to my stash!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this one - meet you at the challenge!

OK, this is totally cute, the theme at this week's Cardz 4 Guyz #269 is "wheels!" Time to get moving!
This would have been a great challenge for me to bring out Geared Up Garage - especially because it's on the retiring list, sigh. But I felt like something a little more fun today, lol, so out came Sale-A-Bration 2017's Tasty Trucks! I still love this set, and there are endless ways to color it up! I pulled this squiggly sheet from our Snail Mail DSP, and used it as my color inspiration for the truck. I always laugh at this saucy sentiment, and I finished it off with a "Thanks!" inside! So fun!

Check out the SWEET colors at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #517 - pastels!
Looks like I'm not done stenciling this week, lol, because I went straight back to the stack still on my desk for this swirly beauty! It reminded me of the frosting, really, and I have a hard time not putting an actual cupcake on every challenge I do for this blog, lol. I'm really happy with how this came out - I did a little walk through our palest most pastel colors, and I really don't use them much! What a sweet background it makes! At that point I could only put a nice bold sentiment over all that, and I love it! How about that, another no-stamping card!

We're all nature and helter-skelter this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #504! I may as well slip in a critter or two for our animal challenge at SU Only #274, too!
I decided to bring out a retiring sleeper for this one - Walk in the Woods. I couldn't resist this cutie for a critter class last year, but I'll admit, I haven't gone back to it very often. But I still love this little guy and his mushrooms! I also love the mix of fonts in the sentiments - I love when we do that! Anyway, since my camp name was always "Heather Hedgehog," (and sometimes Heather Halibut, sigh) this little snuggly will always have a place in my heart!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations - come play, over at the challenges!
Walk in the Woods Stamp Set; Adventure Bound DSP (retired); Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes & Rectangle Stitched Dies; #TSOT504' #SUOC274.

Such a lovely layout we have this week at As You See It #248!
I saw all that lovely real estate in the main panel, and I KNEW I wanted to show off some cool new DSP! Here's a larger sample of a pretty litt;e scrap I showed the other day from the Beauty of the Earth pack - so gorgeous! The painted sheets have so much vibrancy, I can't wait for you to see ALL the seasons they have in here! I kept things focused on the pretty paper with a simple thank you sentiment from Inspired Thoughts - perfect!

Such a cool combo this week at In{k}spire Me #447's side-by-side challenge this week!
I think most folks know that green and purple is one of my fave color combos, and little Crumb Cake details just take it over the top for me! I decided to take our retiring See The Good out for another spin while I still can - I still love this elegant pear! As I was stamping my layers, I sort of tossed all the pieces over where I thought they'd end up as, and I was really struck by the topsy-turvy look, lol, so I actually glued it down this way for a little visual fun - what do you think?

Time to mix it up again at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #502! Let's do this! I'm going to slip in some DSP for this week's SU Only #273, too!
I started today's challenge by picking my DSP first, lol - that usually slots everything else in place pretty quick! I knew I wanted to do the juicy fresh colors in Ice Cream Corner - my mouth waters every time I look at it, lol - but how to fit in the other challenges? Can I really do it all? Eventually I settled on a gatefold - it has more than one fold, and if I did it vertically, I could even work the sketch - so pleased with how it came out! I even fussy cut one of these cute cones for the inside!
I sure hope you can join us this week, at either challenge (or BOTH!) - see you there!

We have some beautiful Spring colors at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #360 - including my namesake - yay!
These days my eyes get drawn to stamp sets that I know are about to leave our lineup - today I was caught by See The Good. I totally got this set for the awesome artichoke - one of my fave veggies, lol, but today I went for the pear. And did I do it in Pear Pizzazz?? Of course not! I was thinking golden pear, really, lol. I took a few tries to finally arrange everything how I wanted, but I really do like the results for these soft colors!

By The Water

This week's theme at Cardz 4 Guyz #267 is "by the water" - love t!
I knew right away I really wanted to use our Waterfront set - I'm so sad this one is on our retiring list, along with the other two landscape-building sets, Snow Front and My Meadow. But Waterfront started it all! I created a little tropical island on a Stitched Circle (also retiring, sigh) with sparkly blue water under a gentle sun. I still have my High Seas Embossing Folder, too, so I decided to add a little texture to my background. Don't we all want to be by the water these days? I sure do, lol.
Waterfront Stamp Set; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Garden Green, Pool Party, So Saffron & Pacific Point inks; Stitched Shapes Dies; High Seas EF (retired); Iridescent Pearls; #C4G267.
