![]() Love our banner sketch this round at Sunday Stamps #294! This wide open layout just cried out for a suite feature, lol, so I ran to my Sweet Candy Canes to oblige! I got to play with several DSP patterns from the coordinating Sweetest Christmas pack, and even scrounged up some old Garden Green Glitter Dots to go with! I love these candy canes and dies so much - it has everything we need! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our pretty sketch - meet you there!

![]() Time for another round at NBUS #43! I ALWAYS have something I haven't used yet on my desk, lol... Today's winner is the Handmade Wishes bundle - this cute set is chock full of buildable end-of-year holiday sentiments (ooo, and Valentine's, too, I just realized) that fit inside a fun new punch! This bundle will be in my Holiday Gifts & Packaging class next month for sure! Anyway, it was really all about the Handmade Tag punch for me today - could it make a cute sentiment for a card front, too? Absolutely! I did a super simple layout that will be easy to make in ALL papers! I foresee thinning my retired DSP with this cutie, though I used my all-time fave sheet from our Celebrate Everything pack today. Love this color scheme, too! Handmade Wishes Stamp Set; Celebrate Everything DSP; Basic White & Polished Pink CS; Polished Pink & Shaded Spruce Inks; Handmade Tag Punch; Adhesive-Backed Stars; #NBUS43. ![]() Christmas Cards Part 2 Oct 15!

These colors immediately spelled Christmas to me, lol, and when I spotted this scrap of Painted Christmas DSP that had TWO colors on it, I knew what suite I'd use, too! I decided to stamp my own background, in holly to go with the sentiment I chose (right size and shape!) I finished things off with some Brushed Gold Dots for some points of light. I so wish we had Merry Merlot out and about more, it's such a natural for the holidays! Christmas to Remember & Christmas Season Stamp Sets; Painted Christmas DSP; Very Vanilla & Merry Merlot CS; Old Olive, Merry Merlot & Crumb Cake Inks; Seasonal Labels Dies; Brushed Gold Dots; #IMC487. ![]() Oo, it's beginning to look like a swanky Christmas at this round's Time Out Challenge #223! I really wanted a nice big tree for my focal image for this one! Surprisingly, the largest one I had was from 2019's Ready for Christmas, so that's what came out for this card! I stamped my tree in our gorgeous Shaded Spruce, and then went with Smoky Slate and Iridescent details - such a great combination! I even mixed embellies for this one - our newest Adhesive-Backed Stars and some Opal Rounds! Love it! Ready for Christmas Stamp Set (retired 2019); Basic White & Shaded Spruce CS; Shaded Spruce, Smoky Slate & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Smoky Slate & Pool Party Blends Markers; Christmas Staircase Dies; Adhesive Backed Stars; Opal Rounds; #TOC223. ![]() So excited about our holly and ivy challenge this month at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #141! Such a traditional carol! I actually don't have any ivy stamps anymore, though I think there was some in one of the curvy bundles. So I stuck with the holly, and went back to my Peace & Joy set from 2020. I so love the layered sentiment dies in this one! I did a festive holly background, in Granny Apple Green and Real Red, then popped up my "Merry and Bright." I have to say, this brighter green has grown on me so much! I can't wait to see YOUR festive projects for our challenge this round! Meet you there! Peace & Joy Stamp Set (retired 2020); Basic White & Real Red CS; Granny Apple Green & Real Red Inks; Joy Dies (retired); Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #SCC141. ![]() Wow, I can finally JUST make it to play at CAS on Friday #240 this round - for a Christmas theme! I decided to do one of our new snowmen - I just couldn't resist this year - he (or she!) has SO many accessories and elements to play with! I tried to keep it pretty simple for the CAS brief - this simple sentiment under a one-layer snow-dude. In the end, the hat and scarf looked better diecut, so I went with that. I finished with three tiny snowflake sequins - these have lasted me for so long! Snowman Magic Stamp Set; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pumpkin Pie & Pool Party Inks; Snowman Dies; Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes; #CASOF240. ![]() Oo, a great theme at this month's CAS Christmas - "sparkle and shine!" I really wanted to try out more of the fun dies in Decorated With Happiness, so I got busy with this set! The stamped branch also has its own die, and I got to try the scribble stamp for coloring, too - I did mine in stamped off Shaded Spruce over Early Espresso. All that Spruce needed a pop of Cherry Cobbler, too, lol, and I finished with lots of shiny silver stars - three sizes in multiple dies! So convenient when you have to cut a bunch! This ended up being quick and fun! Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set; Shaded Spruce, Basic White & Silver Foil CS; Early Espresso, Shaded Spruce, Memento Tuxedo Black, Smoky Slate & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Cherry Cobbler & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Decorated Pine Dies; #CASChristmasShine. ![]() Pumpkin Club September 24!

Imagine my surprise when I opened my just-arrived Snowman Magic dies just to take a look, and I found this awesome new snowflake frame! SO perfect! I kept the card pretty simple, floating this lovely "magical" sentiment right in the middle, and then finishing with this pert little snowman in the corner. These dies are so well designed! All the little pieces are included, and these arms even had a little "tab" for gluing them to the back of my snow-body! Awesome! I finished with a few Starry Sky Matte Dots to carry the theme. I love it!

It's time to kick off our new theme at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #140 - this month we'd like you to keep it CAS - clean and simple! I went with my pretty Mistletoe Magic set for this one - such perfect simple stems for a CAS look! I admit, I'm a little foo-foo with the pretty bow, and a few Opal Rounds, but still plenty of white space, I think! I am really liking this Soft Succulent and Merry Merlot combo - I think we really haven't used Merry Merlot enough in our SU! pantheon...

Mistletoe Magic Stamp Set; Soft Succulent, Merry Merlot & Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Merry Merlot Inks; Soft Succulent Blends Marker; Mistletoe Dies; Clear Wink of Stella; Soft Succulent Opal Rounds; #SCC140. ![]() So fun - Time Out Challenge #221 has a "festive" theme going this round! "Festive" makes me think Christmas, of course! I still have the fabulous Celebrate Everything DSP out on my desk from yesterday, along with my Tailor Made Tag dies, lol, let's just check the stack of new stamp sets to see if inspiration strikes! Spruced Up leapt right out, that set name seems to scream "festive!" I chose my favorite tree sheet of DSP, and started coloring, and then did a set of smaller tags for the two trees in the stamp set - they look a bit like homemade Christmas cookies, don't they? I finish with some bright crinkle ribbon to go with my tiny stars on the background - love it!
