![]() Yum, it's coffee or tea time over at Cupcake Inspirations #535! Let's caffeinate! I couldn't resist pulling out our still-current (yay!) Nothing's Better Than set for this one! Coffee is definitely one of the tiny vices featured in this set, and I love that retro coffee cup! I kept it pretty simple - stamps, ink and paper, with just a few Glitter Enamel Dots at the end! I love how this came out, and I tried to use "retro" colors to go with that coffee cup! Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set; Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso & Basic White CS; Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay Inks; Glitter Enamel Dots; #CIC535.

![]() What a cute sketch we have for you at Hand Stamped Sentiments #380 this week - I hope you can play along! I couldn't resist inking up a new stamp set that's been burning a hole in my work space all through pre-order! This one is called Cactus Cuties, and you know in here in Arizona we have to be all cactus all the time! The extra thriller is that this set comes with a PUNCH! Woo hoo! I also couldn't resist pairing it with our retired Flowering Cactus DSP, which is still available on our Clearance Rack! Cactus, meet cactus. Lol. I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this fun sketch, too - meet you at the challenge! Cactus Cuties Stamp Set; Flowering Cactus DSP (retired); Basic White Mossy Meadow, Calypso Coral & Mint Macaron CS; Mint Macaron & Calypso Coral Inks; Cactus Builder Punch; Tasteful Labels Dies; Brushed Copper Dots; #HSS380. ![]() Birthday Cards 2022 Class Jan 15!

Today I have this tough one from The Male Room #158 - for a teenager! Yikes! While I'm SO glad we don't have a teenager in the house anymore, lol, I do happen to have JUST the thing! I inked up my new Sale--Bration set Driving By for this one! Now, the VW bus I had as a teen was a not-very-attractive two-tone brown, I would have LOVED to have one in Granny Apple Green! And it looks even cuter over this boyish Misty Moonlight DSP from our SAB Sunshine & Rainbows pack, too! Very fun!

So, my shape today is kite-shaped, lol - I couldn't resist! Such a cute set this is, and you can dress it up or dress it down! I of course "dressed up" today, and fussy cut EVERYTHING, then floated it over some fancy Flowering Fields DSP. I love the sky sheets in that pack! This one features Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral, so that's the colors I did my kite in - we're soaring! I hope you can play along with us this week - meet you at the challenge! Kite Delight Stamp Set; Flowering Fields DSP; Basic White & Poppy Parade CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade & Calypso Coral Inks; Calypso Coral Blend Marker; Tasteful Labels Dies; #SSC274. ![]() Birthday Cards 2022 Class Jan 15!

I laughed out loud when I saw this, and as I commented on a DT card that popped up on another challenge I play at, these are the only kinds of cookies for me for some while! I knew right away I would go straight to our just-retired Arctic Bears set! I also tried to tone it down a bit, and make wintry without being Christmas-centric - this set has fabulous non-Christmas sentiments! I was glad to sneak in a scrap of my wintry Beauty of the Earth DSP, but that's it - not a snowflake in sight! Arctic Bears Stamp Set (retired 2021); Beauty of the Earth DSP; Basic White, Smoky Slate & Night of Navy CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Frosted Epoxy Droplets; #CC164. ![]() Birthday Cards 2022 Class Jan 15!

I couldn't resist this sentiment in our brand new set Flowering Tulips - part of a gorgeous new "super suite" that just dropped yesterday! Once again, I'm starting slowly, but I just had to play with the new dies that have "folds" to create these dimensional blossoms - SO NIFTY! I see lots of funky flowers ahead, lol, and when you throw in daubers and gorgeous DSP? Eee! Our new Brushed Brass Butterflies were the perfect finishing touch, too! Flowering Tulips Stamp Set; Basic White, Pear Pizzazz & Highland Heather CS; Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz & Highland Heather Inks; Tulips Dies; Brushed Brass Butterflies; #TOC204. ![]() Such a perfect twist on a theme! In{k}spire Me #468 wants us to share New Year's wishes for the coming year! Now, I'm trying to cure myself of the urge to make resolutions - I'm not sure how helpful they are for me - so easy to become a stick I whack myself with! On the other hand, I DO like to make personal growth wishes - like this fabulous sentiment in our about-to-be-released Garden Greenhouse! How appropriate for me, for sure! Time to let go of the old, and start fresh! Yay! I also wanted to try out taming this robust bundle, too - this set has a BIG die set that goes with it, but we don't have to always use ALL our toys, right? Another good growth opportunity, lol... Garden Greenhouse Stamp Set; Evening Evergreen DSP; Basic White CS; Soft Succulent, Just Jade, Evening Evergreen & Mango Melody Inks; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave Ribbon; Evening Evergreen Jewels; #IMC468. ![]() We're bringing in the colors of the New Year this week at Sunday Stamps #273! After a few false starts, I decided to focus more on the purple side for this one, lol. AND, I just saw a cute write-up by Susan at Stampin' To Die 4 that I had to try! I've seen these circle arrangements before and always wondered how they worked, so I decided to give it a go with my own variations! A good technique can conquer any color challenge, lol. I'm happy with the results, and it was so SWEET to pull out some of my retired Purple Posy goodies! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this one - meet you at the challenge! Special Moments Stamp Set; Purple Posy & Night of Navy DSP (retired stacks); Night of Navy, Perfect Plum (retired) & Purple Posy CS (retired); Night of Navy Ink; Layering Circles Dies (retired); Purple Posy Resin Dots (retired); #SSC273. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 1!

The Male Room #157 hit one of my favorite topics this month - FOOD! My mouth is already watering! I haven't used my Nothing's Better Than set in quite some time, let's have some cookies today! At least, the kind on my cards shouldn't go straight to my waistline, right? I used some remaining woodgrain scraps to make it boyish - the In Good Taste DSP pack just keeps on giving, lol. I had some fine making a little cookie pile, and I couldn't resist this manly stitched square to set everything off. Nom nom... Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set; In Good Taste DSP; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso & Crumb Cake Inks; Love You More Than & Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Brushed Metallic Dots; #TMR157. ![]() Spring Mini Preview Class Dec 18!
