![]() So excited that Retro Rubber #167 has a sketch for us this week - lots of fun layers, too! Off I went hinting for a likely feature image, and I quickly settled on Sweet Cupcake, a GORGEOUS cupcake set that retired in 2018, but first came out in 2016! I even still had a custom embossing sheet I made with the dies still in there! I can't even remember when I last used this! I pulled out my beloved Pattern Party DSP, and took my cupcake colors from there, and even gave my Basic Border Dies a spin. I love how this came out, and I really want some cake!

![]() Yes! CAS on Friday #213 is all about one of my favorite things this week - balloons! I kinda can't resist going to one of my fave current balloons, Hey Birthday Chick - it's just so adorable! I decided to up the number of balloons this time, though, AND make them fancy by paper-piecing them from my favorite DSP! I love how it came out, and having dies really made it all go super quick! I do think it really would take 3 balloons to get this chunky hen off the ground, lol. Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set; Pattern Party DSP; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Mango Melody & Bermuda Bay Blends Markers; Birthday Chick Dies; Pool Party Sequins; #CASOF213. ![]() What a perfect theme at this week's Retro Rubber #165 - "cruisin," or, modes of transportation! I know I have some goodies in the vault for this one, lol... After much dithering, I settled on 2017's Tasty Trucks - who doesn't love a good food truck?? Especially a pretty Bermuda Bay one like this, that also sells cupcakes, lol. I pulled out my trusty Pattern Party DSP for some color inspiration, and came up with this Bermuda-Poppy combo that works really well - so much fun to color! I layered everything in Stitched Rectangles, which I also love to use to trim down to a custom size, like I did this card for the truck layer - it's a piece of cake, yuk, yuk...

This seems like the perfect time to finally break down and use my Counting Sheep bundle from the SAB catalog - yes, yes, I ended up just getting them - they have dies! I HAD to! I ended up going with this capering guy, because he looked like the one most likely to have a balloon, lol. I added a party hat for the big day, and was delighted to include a little fencing backdrop - I'm really starting to get used to dies sets that have more in them than just the stamps! Happy Birthday, C4G! Many more!

I don't know that I could pick just one - I love them all! But, being forced to choose in the STAMPING world, I have to go with the chickens! I even have a current one to play with (because we all know that Best of Cluck from 2006 RULES) so I went with that! Hey Birthday Chick is pretty dang cute, I love this one of the chicken with the balloon, lol, and all these birds really cry out for bold fun colors! Having dies for them is just the icing on the cake! I added the "you're still a Spring chicken" sentiment to the inside! Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set; Basic White, Bermuda Bay & Mango Melody CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay Blends Markers; Birthday Chick Dies; Sequins For Everything; #AYSI256. ![]() They have a BIG milestone over at the The Male Room #153 this week - their 8th birthday! So we get to make a birthday card to help celebrate! Looking over today's prospects, I decided Badger Bestie needed some ink - I love these guys! And I think they're perfect for a guy card, too, of course, lol. I did a partial background with what's turning out to be my fave sheet from the Pattern Party DSP pack, and then set about showing off this badger's dance moves! I did my accents in Coastal Cabana, because honestly, I think they forgot to call this color out on the DSP - don't you think? I even had a few Glitter Enamel Dots for extra pops! Badger Bestie Stamp Set; Basic White & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Gray Granite Blends Marker; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dots; #TMR153. ![]() Nature's Harvest Class on August 14, 3 PM We'll be all about the gorgeous new Harvest Meadow suite this class - stamps, dies, DSP, embellishments, ribbons and embossing folders!

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. ![]() Wow, In{k}spire Me #454 is celebrating a BIG milestone - 1o years! - with a birthday theme! I'll have to go through old challenges to pick something good - all the way back to #300!! I decided I HAD to play with the Party Puffins today - I played with them at Sarah's July Retreat last week, but not for the blog yet! And these guys were MADE to party, lol. They even have a hat, snicker. Anyway, super cute little puffins, SO easy to color, and lots of fun birthday party sentiments to choose from - perfect! Party Puffins Stamp Set; Pattern Party DSP; Basic White & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Real Red Blends Markers; Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dots; #IM454. ![]() Wow, what a party color combo we have at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #523! Since I'm at Sarah's crafting retreat this weekend, I decided to browse HER stamps for this one - so fun to try on each others' stuff, right? When I spotted All Squared Away, I decided to give it a try - so many fun patterns! This is a really good one for a bright color challenge! Such party colors, I went for a birthday card - I love mixed fonts in a sentiment! I'm all geometrics today so I added a nice fuzzy circle to break up all the angles, lol. I even had some glitter dots to finish things off!

I can't resist adding in this yummy summer treat challenge from Retro Rubber #161, too! So who here KNEW I'd be going back to my beloved Cool Treats suite for this one?? Lol, it was a shoe-in! I decided to do a stacked cone (at least I can have on on paper!) and work in some of my retired Berry Burst colors, too. I think they make a good substitute for the Watermelon Wonder I don't still have, lol. Anyway, I stuck very close to our sketch, except for my background oval. It just fit better! I can't wait to check out YOUR projects at the challenge this week - meet you there!
