Oh goody - Retro Rubber #123 is anything goes this week - I always go on the prowl for the really obscure for these, lol... I'll use Hand Stamped Sentiments #327's fun colors to help guide me along this time, too! It occured to me that the colors seem to be the ones from my fave Holiday suite this year - Let It Snow. There's even an embellishment kit to go withg the adorable snowmen featured, BUT, turns out they can share their wardrobe with OTHER snowmen, too, lol, like these charmers from 2015's Snow Place - perfect! I had some fun setting them up in a snowy scene, getting them snugly dressed, and I even tried out some of these fancy snowballs that came in the embellie kit, too. We'll see how they do - maybe they'd be good in a shaker, too.

Check out our beautiful landscape sketch at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #434! It'll go GREAT with our embellishment challenge at SU Only #236, too! Today I decided that I will be including ALL kinds of goodies in the "embellishment" category, lol, like ribbon, glitter and sequins to be exact! I started with this gorgeous sheet from the Feels Like Frost DSP pack, and added this shy bunny from Nature's Beauty. And since there are no sentiments in that set, Itty Bitty Christmas came to the rescue, lol. I added some super sparkly Ice Glitter to my guy, some pretty metallic ribbon behind him (so soft!), and finished with a few Seaside Spray sequins in the upper left corner that almost get lost against the gorgeous paper... I just love it all! So, I can't wait to see YOUR creations at BOTH challenges - meet you there! Nature's Beauty & Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Sets; Feels Like Frost DSP; Whisper White, Seaside Spray & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Soft Suede, Seaside Spray & Petal Pink Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes & Layering Circles Dies; Metallic Ribbon in Seaside Spray; Ice Glitter; Seaside Spray Sequins from Woven Threads Collection; #TSOT434; #SUOC236.

I find myself doing more and more one-layer cards these days, totally without intention, lol. So I don't know why I have a quiet little panic when I see it in a challenge - what's up with that?? For today's card, I wanted to celebrate how much I love using a brayer over a masked area to define a color bounded space - a created canvas, so to speak. I don't think I've used First Frost this year at all, so it got to come out to play, and I matched it up with many layers of Soft Sea Foam. I thought my stamped images would look pretty good in Espresso against this - very yummy combo, though I now wonder if my stem is a little too translucent, hm... I finished with a few Snowflake Sequins, just 'cause this is supposed to be a Christmas card, lol. Fun times!

I decided to try for a Christmas theme even with all these pinks - check out my bright bell wreath from Lots of Cheer! I managed to get all the colors in one way or another, and I kept the details VERY minimal - just a few stitched edges. It's actually kinda growing on me now - I almost scrapped it after I was done, lol. Hm... Lots of Cheer Stamp Set; Blushing Bride, Night of Navy, Whisper White & Old Olive CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; Shimmer White EP; Lovely Lipstick & Blushing Bride Stamp-n-Write Markers; Rectangle Stitched Dies; #ICC055. Just in time for cooler weather, Joy of Sets November challenge is ready to go! So many good squares to choose from! I quickly zeroed in on the center column - Winter-Friend-Layers. Then I went hunting for the stamp set that could carry all that, lol. When I pulled out Making Christmas Bright to remind myself of the sentiments, I knew I had hit the jackpot! It was easy to add layers with my beloved Rectangle Stitched Dies, and I jazzed things up with some sparkle-esque details to go with my phrase - we're making it shine! So fun, and super quick, too! Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set; Whisper White, Real Red & Old Olive CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Daffodil Delight & Mango Melody Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Gold Thread; Gold Sequins; #JOSTTT011. Christmas Countdown Kit Bonus Class Nov 9 at 3 pm! Woo hoo! There's just enough time for ONE Christmas Bonus Class - and the new Advent Calendar Kit wins it by popular acclaim!

Class is $35, all supplies provided (bring your own snips and fave adhesive), or $10 if you are bringing your own kit! See you soon! Well, it's the first Tuesday of the month so that means it's time to mix it up over at Try Stampin on Tuesday #433! Love this cute combo - I had to run over and pull my retired Mountain Adventure set from 2016 for it! I kind of only slightly addressed the sketch - my final card is not nearly as symmetrical as the layout suggested, lol, but I still love it - just happy to make my mini mountain scene! So much we can do with this one, though I had to put my ski lodge on the envelope, lol. Quick and simple, and kind of winter mountain-y colors - ahh... So, what will YOU create? Come show us your creations over at the challenge! Mountain Adventure Stamp Set (retired 2016); Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Shaded Spruce, Pool Party & Smoky Slate Inks' Crumb Cake, Real Red & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Woodland EF; Clear Wink of Stella; Snowflake Sequins; #TSOT433.

Hm, The Sisterhood of Crafters has a Clean & Simple challenge for us this week - fun! This seemed like JUST the chance I've been looking for to finally break in my Tags Tags Tags stamp set. This one is SO cool, it has three sets of 3 tags, with a set of dies that go with - besides just the tags themselves, there's little accent dies, too, like this cute little snowflake I featured today. I've had this set for a while, and the three stamps do Halloween, Christmas & Valentines - a nice spread! I'll be rolling this one out for my tag buffet, but I was really looking for a card opportunity, and this single of the cardinals in their trees is my fave for Christmas. Perfect for a CAS card! Tags Tags Tags Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Balmy Blue Ink; Cherry Cobble, Mango Melody & Basic Black Blends Markers; Trio of Tags Dies; Diagonal Stripe Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #TSOCCAS.

It's time again for our monthly Sparkles Christmas Challenge #106 - let's see those Santas! I went browsing through my retired sets for a good Santa for today - I actually didn't get this year's Santa (I don't like his feet, shhh...) I spotted 2013's Santa's List, and can't remember when I used it last - winner winner! I matched him up with some pretty sheets from this year's Night Before Christmas DSP - how perfect is that cookies and cocoa sheet?? Fun AND I got to color, a perfect Christmas gift, lol. So, what will YOU create for us? I can't wait to see your Santas, over at the challenge! Santa's List Stamp Set (retired 2014); Night Before Christmas DSP; Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Nude & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #SparklesSanta.

Retro Rubber #122 has a sketch for us this week - excellent! I went hunting for a nice central shape to use for the sketch and couldn't stop thinking about this old favorite, Partridge & Pears. I SO love to color, and of course, this set was MADE for it, lol. I floated my pear tree over some nice deep colors from the Night Before Christmas DSP pack, and went to town. I even fussy cut all those leaves so I could float another circle layer in back, like the sketch - see how good I'm being? You know how I like to take liberties usually, lol... Partridge & Pears (Retired 2014) Stamp Set; Night Before Christmas DSP; Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz & Cherry Cobbler CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Mango Melody, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Calypso Coral & Petal Pink Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes & Rectangle Stitched Dies; #RRCB122. Love our akimbo layers in this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #432! It'll go great with our "Holiday Catty Fave" theme at this week's SU Only #235! So, every year, I swear to myself that I WON'T get any more snowmen, and EVERY year, I quickly succumb to new snowman cuteness, sigh. This year's set, Snowman Season, is also actually my fave set from the Holiday Catty this year - so many cute little snow-guys, doing their fun snowman thing, and there's even a punch! It also helps that the Let It Snow DSP that goes with is hands down my fave DSP this year, too - love these bright colors! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see, over at the challenges! Snowman Season Stamp Set; Let It Snow DSP; Whisper White, Coastal Cabana & Shaded Spruce CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Shaded Spruce & Pool Party Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes Dies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #TSOT432; #SUO235. |
