![]() Oh my goodness - it must be Tuesday, because here we are with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #376 - we have such a fun sketch for you this week! I decided to turn mine upright, and ink up my new Alpine Adventure set - it's adorable! I also love the gorgeous (and comprehensive!) thinlits that go with it - Alpine Sports. I didn't use it today, but it has the cutest sled die in it! Gotta save some goodies for class, lol. Anyway, I did a couple skis and snowshoes over my fave plaid from Under the Mistletoe DSP, and added a few bright pops of color with my sequins. Time for a snow hike! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you at the challenge! Alpine Adventure Stamp Set; Under the Mistletoe DSP; Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Old Olive & Real Red CS; Soft Suede Ink; Alpine Sports Thinlits; Linen Thread, Red Sequins; #TSOT376. ![]() All About the Stamparatus Make-up Class Aug 18!

![]() I am especially happy to see AAA #119's Christmas in July challenge this week, with the closing of the long-running Merry Monday. Let's keep that Christmas Spirit alive! I'm this cute sketch from using In{k}spire Me # 359 to help me along! Knowing that I was going Christmas for this sketch, I headed straight to Christmas Pines, because I already knew I wanted to use this sentiment in my scalloped square - it's just about my all-time fave Christmas greeting - LOVE this font! I tried to keep it fairly simple for AAA, so I kept the white space rather than adding too much color. Hope I still qualify for CAS, lol, but really, this was a quick and fun card! Christmas Pines Stamp Set; Under the Mistletoe DSP; Whisper White, Old Olive & Real Red CS; Real Red & Old Olive Inks; Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon; Layering Squares Framelits; Red Sequins; #AAA119; #IM359. ![]() Catch Up Classes Available July 21!

I couldn't resist breaking out another new set today, and also give a test run for my Christmas in July class, lol. I am fascinated by the lovely images and swirls in our new Stylish Christmas set - so elegant! I love when the color gradation is built into the stamps, as well - it adds so much depth to the images! Anyway, I added in some strips of one of the tiled sheets from the Under the Mistletoe DSP, and I think it goes just right, a real play on styles. I also snuck in a few of our new metallic gold pearls - love these! Can't wait to see your creations - see you at the challenge!

Such fun layers! This sketch is another great chance to see some more gorgeous new DSP, and of course, another stamp set, lol. I decided to go Christmas today - this is the lovely Under the Mistletoe DSP, and I've used the holiday sentiment from the new Another Wonderful Year set, too - I love big mixed sentiment sets! This one is a great mix of occasions and fonts - make sure you don't miss it!

I'm SO in! I almost featured a dancing Santa twirling his sugar canes, but in the end, I couldn't resist going back to the 2016 Candy Cane Christmas. This was such a tasty suite! I think I've finally used all my trinkets from it, but I still have the gorgeous sugarplum filled DSP, and a bit of our peppermint twine. I used the sentiment from the stamp set, and decided to fussy cut my Christmas cookies from a few DSP scraps - I don't fussy cut DSP too often, but I have to admit, I was drooling a little when I got the end of these, lol. Sometimes I could fall off the no-sugar wagon like THAT! Candy Cane Christmas Stamp Set (retired 2016); Candy Cane Lane DSP; Real Red, Whisper White & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso Ink; Metallic Red Baker's Twine; Red Sequins; #MM291. ![]() Merry Monday #289 has a festive challenge for us this week - add a star! I did a quick search through my Christmas star sets, and one that I kept coming back to was this short-lived Newborn King set from 2014- I loved it for the coloring possibilities and I haven't been able to let go of it yet! It has a cute little star to feature so I just went with it! I had some fun coloring everything up with all my green Blends, plus a few other color details. I love the font in this sentiment so much, I decided to make it pop as well! So fun! The Newborn King (retired-2014); Whisper White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Old Olive, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky & Crushed Curry Blends; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #MM289. ![]() Merry Monday #288 has a fun "no stamping" challenge for us this week - argh! My strategy for this one was to browse through all my dies, and see what leapt out at me, lol. The stockings won! I figured I could really play with all the different patterns we have, and bring on the color! I also threw in my all time fave holiday thinlits Expressions - one of our earliest sentiment thinlit sets, and still a goodie! Since I'm featuring stockings, I decided to also pull out the Cable Knit DEF for a little texture. It's all kind of topsy-turvy, but I love how it all came together in the end - even with no stamps! Whisper White, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Dapper Denim & Gold Foil CS; Christmas Stockings & Expressions (retired) Thinlits; Cable Knit DEF; #MM288. ![]() Picnic With You & Barn Door Class May 10 & 12 For the month of May, we're thinking picnics and farm trips with our gorgeous Picnic With You & Barn Door bundles! These sets really made me think of summer days to come, so I figured we could get ready now!

This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Thursday, May 10 at 630 pm, or Saturday, May 12 at 3 pm. RSVP today to save your spot! ![]() We're so excited at Sunday Stamps #177 to be back with these lovely colors for you to try! And since they remind me of a starry Christmas scene, I'm combining mine with Merry Monday #286! This phrase from "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is one of my fave Christmas verses ever, and especially the version in our lovely Christmas Pines - LOVE that combo of fonts! I added some pine twigs and holiday berries, and just a few tiny little sparklies for good measure. So, maybe not as luscious as our yummy blackberry parfait inspiration, lol, but still in the spirit of Christmas! Can't wait to see YOUR creations - see you at the challenge! Christmas Pines Stamp Set; Very Vanilla, Garden Green, Old Olive, Sahara Sand & Night of Navy CS; Versamark, Garden Green, Old Olive & Night of Navy Inks; Pretty Pines Thinlits; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #SSC177; #MM286. ![]() Pumpkin Club April 28!

I hope you can join us for our next Pumpkin Club, Saturday, April 28, 3 pm, chez Heroldt - RSVP to let me know you are coming!

Think I'll go out on a limb and combine it with Merry Monday #285's ribbon challenge! The wheels are turning, lol! I really wanted to try some emboss resist with the Christmas Pines set - I love those pine branches! Then I found myself wanting to add lots of Chocolate Chip details, after getting the news that my fave brown is retiring at the end of this catalog - what a good run it's had! No complaints from me, I can't wait to try some of the awesome new colors coming soon - but I can give Choc Chip a last hurrah, though, all day long! Christmas Pines & Touches of Texture Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler CS; Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler & Whisper White Craft Inks; White EP; Pretty Pines Thinlits; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Perfect White Accents; Cherry Cobbler Blend; Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain; #AYSI173; #MM285. ![]() Paper Players #387 has a fun music theme for us this week! I think I'll throw in Merry Monday #284's red and white theme, too!I decided the best way to get my red and white music in was to pull out my Carols of Christmas set - this one was bundled with these amazing card front thinlits - so cool! There's a few borders plus several detail frames for the several smaller stamps. Such a fun puzzle today, lol. I had to try my hand at the plain border today, and decided to "deck" the remaining space, so to speak. Let's just say this - this set is SO much easier to add details to now that we have the mini dimensionals - who knew?? Whew! Carols of Christmas Stamp Set (retired); Real Red & Whisper White CS; Real Red Ink; Card Front Builder Thinlits (retired); Red Sequins; PP387; #MM284. ![]() Man Cards 2018 Class April 12 & 14!
