Oo, a super fun code word at this week's Addicted to CAS #203 - "rain!" My fave "rain" set is STILL my beloved Weather Together set that retired back in 2018 - these umbrellas are so cute! And you just can't beat the sweet dies that go with them, lol. I set out to color up a cute umbrella in my fave fun colors - so adorable. I might have gone a little crazy with my raindrops, though, lol, but at least we're well-sheltered!

I love our many-layered sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #519! With all those layers, I started today's card by searching through my DSP! I really haven't used Pansy Petals enough, so that was the winner! Such a fun layout, lots of space to really show off the rich colors in the papers, and there was JUST the right sentiment to go with! I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our sketch this week! Meet you at the challenge!

Somehow, I don't have any rose stamps, or I think I would have gone that route, but, my Dragonfly Garden set has this lovely "growing" sentiment in it, so I went with that! I stamped the simple flower spray on one side and colored in with blends, then added a pretty dragonfly swooping in, finishing with the sentiment. I also broke open my new Sequins For Everything pack, and found these pretty yellow ones - what a treasure trove! And just my kind of garden - a little unruly!

I think I might have to put the brakes on my anti-flower campaign, sigh, I couldn't really find any current ones that I wanted to play with today! So, of course, I went with fish instead, lol. I just got to thinking how I could imagine a pretty school of tropical fish, cruising around, and remembered I have Seascape to set the scene with! A little seaweed, a couple sets of pilot fish, and my big bright beauties have the perfect cruising gang! Very fun! I can't wait to see YOUR bright projects for this one - meet you at the challenge!

I have a current set or two that I think I could have used, but I went back and pulled out my High Tide set, that just retired earlier this year - I still love this 2-part lighthouse so much! And of course, all the beachy elements, like the beach grass, the sand pipers, the gulls - it really gives the whole ocean vibe, I think, lol. I matched it with this "tide" sentiment, and even dug out some old By The Shore DSP to go with - yum! The ocean is calling for real! High Tide Stamp Set; By The Shore DSP (retired); Very Vanilla & Dapper Denim (retired) CS; Dapper Denim (retired), Sahara Sand & Old Olive Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Opal Rounds; #TSOCOcean.

These colors give me a chance to break in ANOTHER new set - Nature's Harvest! I love this beautiful stem, and the wonderful sentiments are so beautiful - very heartfelt, and a mix of fonts - my favorite kind! The set is actually part of a very comprehensive suite, too - DSP, dies, embellies, specialty papers - it's all glorious! For its first time out, though, I decided to keep it simple - stamps, ink and paper, all you ever need!

This seems like the perfect time to break in my Spiral Dye background stamp - so much fun! First I picked out three likely blues, then I set up my Stamp-a-ratus. I cut my stamping layer to size and went to town! To achieve a great "tie-dye" effect, use your SAR and some grid paper: mark where your stamped sheet will be, and stamp your first color, then rotate the sheet 180 degrees and stamp in your second color. If you want to add a third color, shift your sheet 1/2" left or right to get the last of the white space. These steps work like a dream! I was so happy with my finished effect that I let the blues do the talking, and just added a nice big birthday sentiment on top - yay! Spiral Dye & Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Sets; Basic White & Misty Moonlight CS; Misty Moonlight, Pool Party & Balmy Blue Inks; #C4G276. Our yummy challenge from Cupcake Inspirations #524 this week is balloons! Yay! When I went off balloon hunting, I came across this little guy in Count On Me - so I had to make a penguin army, floating away, lol. So cute! I kept things dotty with a dotty embossed background, and a few Clear Epoxy Droplets, too - this so makes me smile! Count On Me Stamp Set; Basic White & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Basic Black, Mango Melody, Bermuda Bay, Real Red & Granny Apple Green Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Polka Dot Basics EF; Clear Epoxy Droplets; #CI524. Time to fly our flags at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #518! This is perfect for our "school days" challenge at SU Only #281, too! I decided to do a little schoolhouse scene with my old Treehouse Adventure stamp set - didn't everyone have a tire swing at their school? I sure did - and an old dune buggy on blocks that we could pretend to drive, that my Dad donated! It was so fun, best playground ever, lol. I even snuck in a little flag action, too, lol. This was a a fun sketch to combine with this theme, lol. I can't wait to check out YOUR projects - I'll meet you over at the challenges! Treehouse Adventure Stamp Set (retired 2019); Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red, Granny Apple Green & Sahara Sand Inks; Pool Party Blends Marker; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Red Stitched Ribbon; #TSOT518; #SUOC281. Oo, As You See It #255 has a fun harvesty color challenge for us this week! I couldn't help but think of a colorful collection of pretty pots for houseplants, too - they set off the green so well! I'm loving mixing and matching all the different sets we have in Plentiful Plants - and I haven't even gotten to the hanging plants yet, lol. I also found some pretty retired Glitter Enamel Dots in Garden Green to add some extra drops of color - so pleased with the look of this! One day, I'll have a greenhouse, filled with pretty pots like this! Plentiful Plants Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral & Garden Green Inks; Perfect Plants Dies; Garden Green Glitter Enamel Dots; #AYSI255. |
