We have a fun theme this round at Make My Monday #230 - "let's celebrate!" It just so happens that my new Iconic Imagery bundle has the perfect big "celebrate" sentiment! I decided to go more generic, but at the same time, I wanted to dress it up, so I ended up putting together this "cheater" shaker card, lol. I still have quite a bit of the Lighter Than Air DSP let, sigh, but they are such party patterns that I pulled this dotty one in! I mixed in some of my old For Everything Fancy Sequins in the blue colors, and then popped on my big sentiment front and center. So fun - and I didn't get sequins all over my office (or the dog!) this time! I can't wait to see YOUR celebration project this round - meet you at the challenge!

Perfect theme - this month's AAA Birthday #63 is "fabulous flowers!" When I think "fabulous," I can't help but still think of the glorious Happiness Abounds suite! It has a gorgeous stamp set with elegant sentiments, fun and varied dies, but most of all, over-the-top beauty in the Hues of Happiness DSP! So bright and fresh! And I'd say, FABULOUS, lol. I went with a Melon Mambo colorway today, and pulled some perfect blooms from the DSP to feature. I have my birthday sentiment front and center, too! Some Melon Mambo Glossy Dots make the perfect finishing touch!

I decided to pull out my Legendary Ride set - I so love it, lol. I also still have quite a bit of the equally awesome Ready to Ride DSP, and I really wanted to feature it! I landed on this cool sheet of riders' gear that I don't think I've used before. I made a quick background, then fussy cut a jacket to pop up. I couldn't resist this sentiment to go with - just seems to fit with all the leather, lol. I did stamp a simple Happy Birthday inside, too... This ended up being a real quick card! Legendary Ride Stamp Set; Ready to Ride DSP (retired); Very Vanilla & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pretty Pillowbox Dies; Matte Black Dots; #AFC11. This will be fun! AAA Birthday #62 wants it CUTE! To me, "cute" means critters, lol, so I went for a peek through my critter sets! One I haven't used in a while is the punny Way to Goat set from 2022 - every one of these guys is a real character, lol. I pulled out some pretty DSP from my Full of Life DSP pack - love these big colorful dots - and balanced my sassy goat on his cheeky birthday sentiment. So fun to fussy cut this guy! I finished with a few Petunia Pop Resin Dots - they just seemed to go, lol... Way to Goat Stamp Set (retired 2022); Full of Life DSP; Basic White & Berry Burst CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate & Berry Burst Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Petunia Pop Resin Dots; #AAAB62. We have an elegant layered sketch for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #440 this round! I was thrilled to get to use one of my new sets on this one, AND some new DSP! I'm still not sure this set will ever make it into a class, lol, but I had to have it! Say hello to Sweet Peas, which I floated over the brilliant Full of Life DSP. These little guys just make me crack up! All their little "pea" sayings are a riot, too - can't wait to use "Hello, GrumPEA!" I stamped and colored up with my Blends, then fussy cut for extra impact - it's a party! I can't wait to see YOUR cute cards with our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge!

I'm really happy with the latest Cardz 4 Guyz #348 theme - beverages! So fun! I wanted to try to stick to a current set for today, so I went with our Simply Sparkling bundle - love these soda cans! I broke out the Granny Apple Green and Silver foils to put together my base can, and cut some extra Granny Apple bubbles, too! I floated this all over some Lemon Lime Twist DSP - love the combo of these greens together, lol. I wanted a few final details, so I finished with some Shiny Yellow Sequins - so fresh!

AAA Birthday #61 would like us to go CAS this round - clean and simple! This seems like the PERFECT chance to bring in my new Tune In set - love the retro feel of this cutie, and all its little extras! The dies for this one are SO fun - so many different details to play with! I didn't to do too much this time, so I could stick to the "clean and simple" brief, but I have big plans for future cards, lol. Today's set is a vibrant Azure Afternoon, with a textured background to set everything off. As usual, I couldn't resist adding a few retired Pacific Point Fine Sparkle Gems - they match perfectly!

Very nice - Aloha Friday Challenge #10 is for flowers! That's starting to shape up as a real May theme, lol! I decided to pull out my Cheerful Daisies set for this one - I SO don't ink it up enough! I wasn't a huge fan of the DSP that came with it when it was first released, and I think the darker colors it featured kinda threw me, lol. To that end, I'm pulling out bright Spring colors today! I floated everything over this pretty Lemon Lime Twist gingham, and stamped up a daisy trio in Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Pool Party - and I love them together! I finished with a few pretty diecut leaves, and Adhesive Flowers that are a little hard to see, hmmm. But still cheery! Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set; Glorious Gingham DSP (retired); Basic White & Basic Beige CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party & Early Espresso Inks; Cheerful Daisies Dies; Adhesive Hearts & Flowers; Lemon Lolly Twine; #AFC10. What super cute star cookies for us to play off of this round at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #192! I knew right away I wanted to pull out this pretty sheet of stars from our just-retired Bright & Beautiful DSP pack - just what the doctor ordered! I even love all these colors together, lol, though I chose to feature my favorite Berry Burst to go with, today! I did a quick search for a sentiment that fit, and found this one in Ice Cream Swirl - perfect! It fits beautifully in the middle banner die in Nested Essentials, and these tiny stitched stars Give It a Whirl also look awesome! I slipped in one tiny birthday candle for a touch of sparkle, too!

Super cute with them all facing all different ways, too - and of course playing the birthday song! Just love it!
