![]() So pretty - for the August Christmas Craft Creations, they'd like to see something CAS! Clean and simple is really growing on me these days, lol. For this one, I went back to my Gnome For The Holidays set from 2020 - these guys are just the cutest! I tried to not go overboard, but still add a couple extra touches, like my simple layers, and fussy cutting my little mistletoe gnome for a bit of depth. I finished with my last 3 red Wonderful Gems, too - it needed JUST a touch of bling, lol.

![]() I'm loving our off-center sketch this round at Sunday Stamps #316! This seems like the perfect chance to show off our new Beary Cute suite in the upcoming Holiday Mini catalog, too - so here we go! Isn't this guy adorable? I chose one of the pattern sides from the DSP, and floated a little wintry scene over it for my bear. He had to have a snazzy scarf, too, lol. Too bad my desk is all sparkly from adding a bit of Dazzling Diamonds frosting to me tree, lol! I can't wait to see YOUR gorgeous projects with our fun sketch this round - meet you at the challenge!

What a great chance to try out my new Merry & Bright stamp set - and three big bulbs in Melon Mambo, lol! So much fun, there are multiples of all the dies, so getting everything cut out is a snap! The bright DSP is gorgeous, too, great patterns and colors, I am definitely smitten, lol. I had a blast making this little mini light string by stamping off my bulbs and adding the filaments full strength. I did bulb bases in Shaded Spruce to match the wire, and it all looks lovely over that matching DSP! I can't wait to see YOUR triples, too - meet you at the challenge!

And since I ALWAYS do dots, lol, today I'm actually going with stripes, lol. Because this beautiful new Merry Bold & Bright DSP has some glorious ones! It has glorious dots, too, I can't not say that, but we'll be using THOSE in class on Saturday, lol. So stripes it is! I also felt like these fun colors together were a bit more masculine, maybe - certainly the rhino looks like he's into them! I had so much fun coloring this one - and I totally love that all our returning colors this refresh had their own Blends Markers - whew! I think Blueberry Bushel might actually grow on me this time!

One of my favorite Christmas food sets is the adorable Sweets & Treats set from 2021 - so fun, and so fun to color! You could actually cover several holidays with this one, but the best image of course is the Christmas pudding! I stamped up my cloche and colored it with Pool Party to add the glass effect, then did my pudding on scrap so I could fussy cut it! Super yum, and I even Winked up the icing for extra sparkle! I hope you can join us at BOTH challenges for this round - I want to see your yummy holiday snacks, and favorite oldies! Meet you there!

AND, there's a DT call - fun! I just had to break out my newly acquired Horse & Sleigh suite for this one - super cute stamps, as always, but woo, the DSP is amazing! I pulled this snowy lodge night scene to get me started, and added this lovely tall pine! This seemed like the perfect sentiment to go with it, too - don't you want to just snuggle up in front of the fire in there?? A few adhesive-backed snowflakes and this rustic bow finish things off - I'd love to spend Christmas there soon!

Lol, so glad it's time for our monthly challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #150 - we want you to include some gold this month! I'm still a little thin on the ground in current Christmas sets, so I went straight to my Shelves of Retirement! I spotted my Cherish the Season set from 2020 that features some bells, but really, I like the dies in this one more than the stamps, lol. So I pulled in this movie quote from Christmas Means More, also from 2020. They were made for each other! I added a strip of washi behind the detail cuts on the bells, so that I could inlay the colors like a breeze! This works so well! I can't wait to see YOUR Midas Touch this round, too - meet you at the challenge! Christmas Means More Stamp Set (retired 2020); Expressions in Ink DSP (retired); Basic White, Gold Foil, Shaded Spruce & Cherry Cobbler CS; Cherry Cobbler Ink; Layering Circles & Sounds of the Season Dies (both retired); Gold Cording Trim; Gilded Gems; #SCC150. ![]() Good one! Christmas Craft Creations would like us to heat emboss for their June challenge! Since the challenge called for the embossing to be the focus, I knew I had to pull out a major stamp, lol. I finally went with one of the first stamps I ever purchased from Our Daily Bread Designs, forever ago, maybe 2012? It's such a focal image, I actually haven't used it much, but it's perfect for showing off heat embossing here! I embossed in Gold over Shaded Spruce, and layered over our Distressed Gold Specialty Paper - love this stuff! I kept things pretty tight and finished with a few Gold Swirls. I think it says all we need here! I finally figured out how to take my picture at an angle to catch the shine of the emboss, too!

I wanted to use a current set today, though I have PLENTY of retired trees to choose from, lol. So I went with Regal Reindeer, and focused on the pretty trees also included in that set! I started with a stamped background of the larger tree stamp in Shaded Spruce and Pretty peacock. I smudged it all up with a Blender Pen, before mounting it on this retired plaid layer also in Spruce. I cut out 3 of the smaller trees with the dies, and a little fox for good measure. Do you like his handsome scarf?? This seemed the natural sentiment for such a calm woodland scene, and I finished with a few snowflake sequins. I can't wait to see YOUR holiday trees this round - meet you at the challenge! Regal Reindeer Stamp Set; Shaded Spruce DSP (retired); Basic White, Shaded Spruce & Pretty Peacock CS; Shaded Spruce, Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Blender Pen; Reindeer & Stitched Shapes (retired) Dies; Snowflake Sequins; #SCC148. ![]() Another cute book cover at this month's Once Upon a Time #10 - One Love, based on the Bob Marley song! This one was a tough one for me, lol. I finally decided that the big green letters with touches of red reminded me of Christmas! So that's the direction I went! I started with the Large Letters dies - argh, too big, so I switched to Alphabet a la Mode, lol. I still had these asterisks left over from when I tried the first alphabet, so I kept them for decoration! I added this super slim stamped sentiment at the bottom from Sweet Candy Canes just so there'd be something stamped!
