Yum! Fusion has a tasty combo for us this week with their Valentine Cupcake inspiration! I wasn't sure I'd capture the cupcake side of the equation today, but then I remembered these cuties in Measure of Love sold! Not really a Valentine's theme, since I've mailed out all my Valentines already, lol, but hey, at least I got the cupcakes! I took my color cue from our playful Sunshine & Rainbows DSP, and colored away! I was really struck today by how VERY magenta our Magenta Madness is, lol...

Good times ahead! I get to share one of my favorite techniques this week at As You See It #268! Well, I think everyone knows that my fave technique is FUSSY CUTTING! When in doubt - fussy cut! It adds so much impact to the simplest of images, and since I'm also a huge fan of all things dimensional, this is another way to add more of that, too. For today's card, I used the elegant Bamboo Beauty set, and fussy cut my graceful bamboo trunks, and a touch of leaves, too. I popped them up over some shadow-stamping I did behind them - I love the effect I got! I can't wait to see your projects, too - what's YOUR favorite technique??

Make My Monday #167 wants us to play with the "kissing" technique for stamps this week! Should be cool! Today's card is a little experiment for me, from something I've been thinking over since I first used the Gentle Waves background stamp - I think it could make some pretty awesome sand, too! And if I could make sand, what would happen if I "kissed' on a seashell from Friends Are Like Seashells? Today we find out, lol. I went through a few iterations before I settled on this one - Sahara Sand stamped on White, with a Soft Suede shell kissed on. It looks a little indistinct, like seeing shells in the sand, under the water. It's growing on me!

We have a fun seaside inspiration board for you today at Hand Stamped Sentiments #382! I'm matching up with our throwback sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #542, too! I knew right away I was going to focus on that pretty pink bus - totally because of the VW buss in our Sale-A-Bration set Driving By! I did both the pink AND blue on mine, and it has a psychedelic feel to it as well, from my pretty sheet of DSP from the New Horizons pack - yum! I managed to get the main sketch elements in there, too - I had to trim my layers down so I could squeeze in a little tilt for my tag! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges - meet you there!

What a lovely quote Time Out Challenges #206 has to inspire us this week! Beautiful! I knew right away that I was going to pull out my Grace's Garden set that retired last year. Fencing and gardens all in one set, I it's just right! I did this little scene with a pretty stamped gate, and some flowers on either side, then added the little bird. I popped up a little kitty to be distracted by the birdie. Such fun to color with my Blends Markers, and I couldn't resist finishing with my Brushed Brass Butterflies. Even the sentiment is perfect for this one! Yay!

Oo, what a great theme for a card at Festive Friday #0101 - International Wetland Day! I didn't exactly go wetlands, but I did think water, at least! I finally got to try out my new Gentle Waves background stamp - it SO COOL! Love it, and I can see using it for sand dunes, too! I paired it with a our cute new sailing set, Let's Set Sail, which, gasp, comes with a punch! Yay! With all these good ingredients, it was a snap to choose several items from the inspo list! Birds, green, brown, water, masculine, blue - I think I could make a case for all of these! What a fun way to design a card! Gentle Waves & Let's Set Sail Stamp Sets; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Pacific Point, Early Espresso & Old Olive Inks; Seasonal Labels Dies; Sailboat Builder Punch; #FF0101. Wow, check out the amazing combo at this week's Fusion "coffee chalkboard" challenge! Love it! I didn't think I would at first, but I hit both sides of the challenge today! Turns out, my attempt at a chalk board layout came together easy as pie - I just got out all my fave coffee sets and went to town! I LOVE how it came out! After I heat set all my white embossing, I added some of the sketch elements: the old Striped Burlap Trim was just perfect, and I fussy cut and pieced this simple cup from Press On. Last I tucked the little stitched oval in Cherry Cobbler under my ribbon - just right!

Check out our bubbly sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #540! I think it will go great with our fun colors at Hand Stamped Sentiments #381! Such sunny colors, I couldn't help but lean towards flowers, and I still can't get enough of our Pierced Blooms Dies! Such an easy way to do color spots (and challenges, lol!) It all fit in well with the sketch for sure, and I found just the simple-and-narrow sentiment I wanted in our Simply Succulents set - easy breezy!

I hope you can come play along with our cozy colors this week at Sunday Stamps #275! I am SO excited to finally have a chance to ink up this new single stamp, Every Chapter! I was smit at first sight, I have to say, lol. I really needed a good "stack of books" stamp, and it would be hard to improve that sweet cup of tea on top, too! I have several friends this is the perfect image and sentiment for, and I just love it for it's own sake, too, so sweet! I had fun coloring it up in the colors of our challenge, and at the last second, I quick embossed the background in Old World Paper - even though it's retired, it seemed appropriate! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our colors this round - meet you at the challenge!

The Sisterhood of Crafters is back from their holiday, too, with a "color blue" challenge! I knew right away that I wanted to a sweet tropical silhouette card with Paradise Palms for this one - I couldn't wait to use that big palm tree die! I made a nice blue wash background with this sheet from Beauty of the Earth DSP, and then set my scene with Night of Navy die pieces. Swoon! Starting to get Maui on the brain again, I think, lol. I also love this sentiment, which I think is likely an "inside" sentiment for the retirement wishes, but I think it looks great featured out front, too!
