Sweet Conversations

1/12/2022

Woo hoo! Fusion is finally back, with a New Year's sketch combo for us!
Well, since I'm so far along in January, I feel pretty done with New Year's, so I'm sticking to just the sketch this round. And what a great chance to play with Sweet Conversations, our new Valentine's set! I actually don't get a new Valentine's suite every year, more like every 4 or 5, lo,, but when I saw this DSP, I was smit! Couldn't resist, or at least, I didn't resist very hard! This cute set comes with dies, of course, and there are even some new gems to play with, but I found this pack of hearts in the bottom of my embellie bow - oops!

I'm loving all our details at this week's sketch for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #537! What a perfect chance to throw in our "designer's choice" challenge at SU Only #292, too!
OK, I'm making a serious break with Christmas mode today, lol! I just couldn't wait to play with my new "fun" set, Nuts & Bolts! Can you believe that I didn't have any robots before now? And check out the cute DSP! I actually got our new Valentine's suite this year, too, the Sweet Conversations bundle! The paper is just as cute with some romantic robots, too, lol.
I hope you can join in the fun - see you at the challenges!

Well, this worked out perfectly! Today's card is for In{k}spire Me #442's Valentine's Special - yay!
I couldn't help but go back and pull out my old set Valentine Defined, from 2011, for this one - the challenge graphic reminded me so much of the little vines in the set! I combined the stamp set with a couple items that have come along since their time - I love doing that! First I did a nice de-bossed side of my Happy Hearts embossing folder, and then I paired the stamps with our Rectangular Postage punch. The titles sentiment JUST fit, perfectly! I arranged everything fairly loosely, and finished with a few rhinestone - quick and fun!

We have a lovely combo this week at Fusion's Valentines Gnome challenge - love it!
I decided to focus on the pretty textiles in the inspiration pic and apply them to the sketch - I never use my Buffalo Check background stamp, and I want to! I started by making a basic plaid by adding some lines to my black Buffalo Check, then trimmed it down to fit inside the sketch. I did some red accents for some pop - a red banner, and this cute sentiment from Punch Party in red on one of new heart punches. This came out simple and rustic, I love it! I finished with a few of our resin hearts for just a touch of added color!

We have a lovely romantic sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #492, and we'd like to see a 3-D item for SU Only #268. And just to round out my three-fer, I have these perfect bold colors from Retro Rubber #151 - black, white and red! This is a tall order!
I started by deciding on a tag for my 3-D item - just in time for hubby's Valentine's present, too! I went on the prowl for something old and gooey (lol) on my shelves of retirement, and came across PS. I Love You from 2012 - still so sweet! This is the one that has the little chocolate-covered strawberry in it, too - remember that? Yum! Anyway, this "heart of hearts" was my fave image from that set, and I even still have the punch, natch. From there, all I needed to do was shrink down the sketch to fit on a tag - whew! I love how it came out, and can't wait to plant it on my sweetie!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects this week, too - meet you at the challenges!

Yum! Check out our toasty warm colors this week at Sunday Stamps #249!
The more I looked at our colors, the more I started thinking Valentine's - reds and pinks just send me in that direction I guess! But I didn't get any of our OVERTLY Valentine's sets - just a couple that had some possibilities included, lol. Like the gorgeous Punch Party, a Sale-A-Bration Hostess set. So many punch pals to go with! I chose this little cuties that coordinates with our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch - I'm SO not using it enough! I decided to make a little set of stamps for the day of romance - not too mushy for me - yay!
So what will you do with our gorgeous colors this week? I can't wait to see YOUR projects, over at the challenge!

OOooOO! Retro Rubber #128 has a fun color and love theme challenge going for us this week!
I totally knew the love set I wanted to resurrect is my beloved Wood You Be Mine? from 2015. This lumberjack has always made my heart go pitter-patter, lol, what can I say? I did a pretty pink background in some Pinewood Plank emboss, then colored and fussy-cut my man in his romantic colors, lol. He's just so cute! So fun!

Very fun! In{k}spire Me #414 is all about Valentine's! Still time for some sweetness!
I decided to go on a different track this time: the other day, I was looking at this chevron stamp when I used Believe You Can last, and I got to thinking about how it would be fun to play with color with it. Well, today's that day, lol. I did a chevron column in reds (only a tiny bit wavy, lol), with a couple heart clusters, topped off by this beautiful classic Valentine's sentiment from Heart to Heart. So fun! Now I want to try doing the chevron in all different colors, not just tones of one. The wheels are spinning!

Now THIS will be a challenge - The Male Room #129 is "heart" you - I think using a heart on a guy card could be tricky!
I had to dig deep to find this baby on the retired shelves - and I still can't get over how much I love this set - Gift Givers from all the way back in 2011! I still have all the punches that go with it, too, lol. Anyway, even with all that love, I have NEVER used the little owl heart! So I made a quick woodland scene for my owl to perch in, and kept it simple. So darn cute!

Ah, we have a beautiful bold sketch for you on this day of love at Fab Friday #183!
I decided to do something heart related for Valentine's, and one of my all-time faves is this beauty from our Modern Heart set - love the geometric design style (with scribbles!), and the varied range of sentiments to go with - such a keeper! I decided to take my colors from the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies DSP - I love this sheet in particular for its combo of Poppy Parade & Rich Razzleberry - so unexpected!
So, what will YOU create for us this week? Can't wait to see your cards, over at the challenge!
