Tropical Thanks

4/7/2020

Such a fun sketch we have this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #452 - time to go shape hunting!
I decided to dip back into my wonderful Timeless Tropical suite for this one, especially once I saw our extra "flower power" challenge! I'm determined to use some of the papers that are a little intimidating for me, too, so I came up with these sheets in various greens to set off my plumeria - yum! I finished with a few tiny gold pearls to spiff us up!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for this one - I hope you can join us at the challenge!

Such a fun banded sketch we have at this week's Inspire Create Challenge #065 - so many possibilities!
With such a wide open field, I just couldn't resist pulling out another gorgeous sheet of our upcoming Ornate Garden DSP - swoon! I matched today's pattern with Terracotta Tile, and had another fun go at playing with my dies - this time I made it LONGER - the little stitch marks make it SO easy to line everything up! I also snuck in a little scrap of the pretty ribbon that goes with this suite, and added a few pearls to move the eyes around. Love it!

OK, I'm still trying to keep my hand in at Less Is More #415 - they're clean and simple brief is such a challenge for me, and this time it's a color challenge! Woo!
I actually pulled a retired color to try and meet this challenge - I have alas already let go of my old Raspberry Ripple, but I decided to give Rose Red a go instead, I think it matched up fine with my Melon Mambo and Basic Gray! I stamped with Abstract Impressions in an effort to see if I could actually fit all three colors on one image, and it came out very cool! I was surprised how much fun these colors are, I'm SO not a pink person, lol.

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??

We're all at tilts and turns this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #449! And I'm thrilled to add some Spring for SU Only #245, too!
For me, Spring is all about the delicious berries, lol - have you seen the beauties coming in at Costco now?? De-LISH! I had to have a strawberry card to celebrate, and I pulled out my new Witty-Cisms set to do it! I combined with the retired Fruit Basket suite so I could add in some extra berry details, and I'm loving the finished look - and so tasty, too!
I hope you can play along with us this week - I'll be looking for you to join us at BOTH challenges!

We're bringing on the layers this week at Fab Friday #185!
I have a bit of a teaser card for you all today! Demonstrators are getting a tiny head start on a new super-suite coming in our next Annual Catalog coming in June - BUT, there will be a pre-order opportunity for you, too, starting in April! Exciting, yes? But also a slightly sad reminder that we'll soon have to let another catty go to make room for the next one, sigh... Anyway, one of the new stamp sets in this super-suite (yes, there's actually TWO!) is the gorgeous Ornate Thanks - I can't wait for you to see these beautiful fonts and phrases! And while I'm going fairly simple here, it goes great with the OTHER new set, too, AND they both have amazing dies - you'll just have to keep your eyes peeled for more teases!
I hope you can join us this week being Fabulous - see you at the challenge!

Sympathy/Sorry Card Class March 12 & 14!

Class will feature six cards with envelopes, all in a sympathy or sorry format, and includes all supplies needed (bring your fave snips and adhesives.) Class also includes snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25. Class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more. Class is still on for Saturday March 14 at 3 pm.

The Sisterhood of Crafters is coming at us with a "patterned paper" challenge today! Fun!
I decided to get started by looking over my DSP for something I haven't used for a bit. I quickly spotted my Bird Ballad pack - LOVE the colors in this one! I actually put the final card together from all kinds of scraps I still have floating around, after I chose the background - the little banner was already in there, and I had all kinds of bird scraps to fussy cut as well - such sweet little chirpers! The bird song around here has been on the rise lately, so I couldn't help but have some fun assembling my own personal chorus, lol. The only stamped element is the sentiment!!

Nice - The Library Challenge #53 is still in the children's section this week, bringing us Elmer, the patchwork elephant, lol. Looks like a cute story!
I didn't think I could pull it together enough to do an actual patchwork elephant, but as soon as I saw this cover, I DID envision lots of colored elephants on the go, lol. I knew I wanted to use my Little Elephant set, too, because he definitely has Elmer's pose down! I was able to fit in 4 rows, and I did them all in a mixed up rainbow of our Brights collection colors. Definitely makes me smile!

All aboard! Our sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #446 reminds me of a ship's portholes, or even airplane windows, lol. So fun!
In the end, since we're also adding a "flower power" theme, I decided to go with my gorgeous Painted Poppies - pretty much any excuse to use this DSP will suffice, lol. It's just so gorgeous! I played with different reds and greens this time, too - interesting contrasts...
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this sketch - head on over to the challenge!

EEE! Green and purple and gold! One of my fave combos!! We are PARTYING at this week's Sunday Stamps Challenge #225!
So, I did linger over Parisian Beauty for a bit, thinking I could pull off a Mardi Gras theme, but I finally settled on Positive Thoughts - I just LOVE that fern stem, especially when I have the Nature's Thoughts Dies to do all the heavy lifting for me, lol. I tried to stick closer to our color tones, so this is probably the darkest version of this set I've tried so far, though I couldn't help stamping off an extra fern!
So, I can't wait to see what YOU come up with this round - see you over at the challenge!
