![]() We've got a sketch as pretty as a cameo for you this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #503! When I started thinking about cameos, I quickly gravitated to another retiring set, A Little Lace. Lace and cameos, right? Anyway, I really have NOT used this set very much, but I totally got the bundle for the fascinating dies called Stitched Lace. I've played with smaller bits and pieces of it, but today I went for a full card front for my background. I floated it over Crumb Cake, and I love how it looks! A bit fiddly to clean up, but not too bad, really - it's a great die! I hope you'll have time to play with us this week - I'll be looking for your projects, over at the challenge! A Little Lace Stamp Set; In Good Taste DSP; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Petal Pink CS; Crumb Cake & Early Espresso Inks; Petal Pink & So Saffron Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes & Stitched Lace Dies; Pink Pearls; Linen Thread; #TSOT503. ![]() Friends Are Like Seashells Class April 24!

I wanted to give the bird a go with my Water Painters this time! I think this one is in slightly more realistic colors for a wren, though I don't think I have enough white, lol. This guy is a little slimmer than the cactus wren posse that hangs out in my yard (and in my saguaro, lol!) Still, I like how he stands out against his subtle background! I had to re-ink my Versamark for this one! Etched in Nature Stamp Set; In Good Taste DSP; Basic White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Versamark, Memento Tuxedo Black, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede & Bumblebee Inks; Water Painters; Stitched Shapes Dies; Gold Sequins; #SPC14. ![]() Friends Are Like Seashells Class April 24!

I was sad to see our Today's Tiles bundle on the retiring list - I really think I haven't done this beauty justice, especially the dies! I did a manly card a few weeks back using them, and I really wanted to go back and revisit in another color scheme. And with so many colors to choose from at our challenge this week - it seems just the thing! I love the different look of this - these colors are so striking together, and it also matches up pretty well with our gorgeous Tin Tile embossing folder, alas, also retiring this round. I'll miss these pretty toys! I hope you have time to come give our colors a try this week, I can't wait to see YOUR projects! Today's Tiles Stamp Set; Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party & Palmy Blue CS; Pear Pizzazz Ink; Field Tiles Dies; Tin Tile EF; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #SSC255. ![]() Friends Are Like Seashells Class April 17!

This cupcake calls out our retiring Seaside Notions set perfectly, lol - and shows just how I like to spend my time in the islands! Kicked back in a comfy chair, with a frosty beverage - the only thing missing is my kindle, lol. I kept it pretty simple, and did a fun background of palm trees on Sahara Sand (what else??) then did a pretty little beach scene to go with - I'm going to miss it here! Seaside View Stamp Set; Basic White & Sahara Sand CS; Sahara Sand, Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Crushed Curry & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Water Painters; Stitched Shapes Dies; Tropical Oasis Trinkets; #CI516. ![]() What a fun theme at this week's CAS on Friday #202 - "happy mail!" I'm all over it! I couldn't resist going back to an old Paper Pumpkin for this one! Our June 2020 kit was all about "sharing sunshine," and I can't imagine happier mail to get! I put together this simple layout, and used one of the fun stencil designs that came in the March 2021 kit - those rays of sunshine go with everything! I've just realized I might not be very CAS, though. Oops, so easy to get carried away, lol. Box of Sunshine Stamp Set (June 2020 Paper Pumpkin); Daffodil Delight, Basic Black & Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Mango Melody Ink; Mango Melody Blends Marker; Sun Rays Stencil; Crushed Curry Resin Dots; #CASOF202. ![]() Oo! What an awesome pick for this week's The Library Challenge #80! Alice in Wonderland! I wish I had something cute in stamps for this one - the old pen-and-ink illustrations are SO good, lol. I've always wanted a good one of the Cheshire Cat - my grandmother always used to tell me about when she played the "big CC" in her school days, lol. We loved this story! In honor of that, I'm paying homage to one of his best lines - and it really makes you think, doesn't it? He was always such a smarty, lol. I had a time piecing it together with my Make A Difference alphabet, another retiring set, and then I floated it all over this pretty scene from the old Country Club DSP. I'm pretty happy with how it came out! Make A Difference Stamp Set; Country Club DSP (retired); Basic White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Real Red Ink; Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Wild Wasabi (retired) & Soft Sky (retired) Blends Markers; #TLC80. ![]() This challenge makes me smile! Retro Rubber #155 is running a rainbow theme! I totally have to go get out my old Sunshine & Rainbows set from 2018, and I think I'll even give stamping the rainbow a try, instead of die-cutting it - my usual go to, lol. It didn't come out too bad, I think, and I made some nice cloudy borders for it to be popping out of - I still love these border dies! A few silver pearl raindrops, and we are set! Sunshine & Rainbows Stamp Set (retired 2018); Basic White & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay & Gorgeous Grape Inks; Rainbow Builder Dies; Silver Pearls; #RRCB155. ![]() We'd like to see some bold sashes this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #501! Sometimes I get a little blue about retiring items, but then I'm reminded - hey, new toys are on the way! For today's card, I get to preview one of our upcoming new sets from our new Annual Catalog - Etched In Nature! It's full of lovely etched nature elements, like this cute wren, who looks very handsome over our Dandy Garden DSP! I'm turning those blues into a bluebird of happiness! I hope that you'll be able to join us this round for our fun sketch - I'll look for you at the challenge! Etched In Nature Stamp Set (AC 21-11); Dandy Garden DSP; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Misty Moonlight, Cajun Craze, So Saffron, Crumb Cake & Color Lifter Blends Markers; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Linen Thread; Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots; #TSOT501. ![]() Yum, we have some fun snuggly colors to work with at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #515 - and I can JUST squeak in! When I started thinking about these colors together, I remembered building butterflies with my old Watercolor Wings set - so fun! These seem like perfect monarch colors, so I went for it! I dressed up my background with a bit of direct-to-paper swiping on my white, and I like the effect I got. I floated a big butterfly over it, along with my fave sentiment from the set. A smaller butterfly on the envelope buttons things up! Watercolor Wings Stamp Set (retired 2018); Basic White & Soft Suede CS; Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede & Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Bold Butterfly Dies (retired); Yellow Pearls; #CI515. |
