I'm back again at my newly discovered CAS on Friday #141, this time with their flower challenge - yay! I'm tossing in Color Throwdown #510's bright colors, too! For today's flowers, I decided to try another round of our Abstract Impressions set - I love the brush-stroke look of these, and how easy it makes to add dimension with strategic stamping and stamping off - so fun! I did go in for a bit of fussy cutting - look at my red flowers fly, lol! Still, VERY clean and simple for me! Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of that style? No way! Abstract Impressions Stamp Set; Crumb Cake & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie & Real Red Inks; #CASOF141; #CTD510.

Oh goodie - Retro Rubber #94 is running one of my fave challenge types this week - anything goes! Let's visit the vault! I'm squeezing in CAS-ual Friday #207's minty color challenge, too! I pulled double retro today - with Pursuit of Happiness from 2011, and Four Feathers from 2014. This ended up being a pretty eclectic ensemble, lol, especially because I was so inspired by the touches of copper I saw everywhere on the Design Team inspiration samples at CFC! Pursuit of Happiness has my fave Desmond Tutu quote in it, but there are several other keepers in there as well, as you can see - words to live by! Pursuit of Happiness (2011) and Four Feathers (2014) Stamp Sets (both retired); Mint Macaron, Copper Foil & Whisper White CS; Mint Macaron & Versamark Inks; Copper EP; Stitched Shapes & Feathers (retired) Framelits; Copper Thead; Metallics Sequins in Copper; #RR94; #CFC207. Ready for Fall Class Sep 13 & 15! Time to start warming up for the cooler weather, and make some gorgeous Autumnal cards with our new harvest sets from the 2018 Holiday Catalog! We have some beautiful suites to play with, and I'm pretty sure there will be a spooky treat in it for you, too! We will make 5 cards, using all new products, celebrating the season and gratitude. Class will include all supplies needed (bring your own snips and fave adhesive!) and will also include snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Classes are on for Thursday, Sep 13 at 630 pm, or Saturday, Sep 15 at 3 pm, chez Heroldt! RSVP today to reserve your spot! Ah, perfect timing! AAA #122 wants us to use a stencil this week! I say "perfect timing," because I was just going through some - ahem - STUFF laying around on my desk, and found my little sleeve of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. After a quick check to make sure that yes, these ARE actually still available, lol, I put them in the "Get this inky!" stack. I decided to go for the big medallion for this card - I'm not sure I've ever used this one! think I went straight for the cloud one to use with embossing paste and never looked back. But hey, any chance to show off my fave new color trio is good by me, lol. Hope it's clean and simple enough - another one-layer - twice in one week! Woo! Stitched All Around Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green & Melon Mango Inks; Pattern Party Decorative Masks; Granny Apple Green Glimmer Dots; #AAA122. SO happy to see Hand-Stamped Sentiments #296 color challenge this week - I was just thinking I need to break out the Blueberry Bushel! I finally settled on a pretty flower combo for these colors - I think I almost always go that way when I have any combo that includes both green and yellow, lol. Painted Harvest continues to fascinate me with its versatility, and I love the ease of any kind of punch to go with! Thanks to Freshly Made Sketches for a layout - wish I could have completed this in time to play, but I think I ended up with a sweet, fresh little card!

So, our new, limited-time, set called Blended Seasons has the PERFECT sentiment for this week's theme, as you can see! I kept it pretty simple - I hadn't used this little vine stamp yet, and I loved my Soft Sea Foam - Mossy Meadow combo so much I decided to do it again, lol. I played a little bit with my Blends Markers for the leaves, and also colored in a few of our brand new Frosted Epoxy Droplets, coming out in the Holiday Catty - love them! I can't wait to try the clear ones next!

For this one, I pulled out 2013's By The Tide, which I've kept all this time JUST for the lobster! Excuse me if I drool a little here, lol... Anyway, I did some torn "sand" with Sahara Sand, of course, and had some fun aqua-painting my little beach accessories. Nice fussy-cutting interlude today, lol.

AAA #120 has a rainbow challenge for us this week! I decided I wanted to feature our new Brights line-up in my rainbow, and I couldn't stop thinking abut how cute a row of bright vases, with just a few stems thrown in, would look. So out came Varied Vases, and boy do these colors sing! I had originally planned to color in my scallop "shelf" with matching rainbow markers, but decided that discretion is the greater part of CAS, no? Lol. A lesson hard learned, believe me! I'd love to see this row in my office! Varied Vases Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape Inks. Another fun combo at this week's Fusion "outdoor room" challenge! After some struggle, I decided today to just go with the sketch. But you can picture it outside if you want, lol. I did end up pulling out my retired Fruit Basket suite because I started out thinking "picnic," and ended up with a bowl of pears, lol. So fun to get all my little fruits out again! I do love how colorful and fresh this suite comes together - yummy!

So, our next messy class is definitely going to have one of these babies in it, lol. Thank goodness I planned ahead before bringing out the soaked string, lol. I'm sure the dog won't have that stripe on their tongue for TOO long! After a couple goes on our regular CS, I decided to move to our watercolor paper - such a fun effect! It kind of reminds me of our blooming saguaro out here, really, maybe crossed with Jack-in-the-Pulpits, lol. Anyway - good times! Totally doing more of these!

Can't wait to try it with this fun sketch over at Case This Sketch #280! I really had to dig to find something that would work for the arrows of the sketch - branches? Actual arrows? Maybe a thread wrap? Then I spotted the dotted line elements in our fun Artfully Folded hostess set. I used to be an origami nut, so I totally snatched this beauty up as soon as I could, lol. I chose the "diamond" dotted line for the card, and used my grid paper to help me line up all my rows - yikees, lol. I decided a few tiny pop-dotted images would be just what I needed, and then I realized that my Basics Sequins would also coordinate. A little more detail than I had originally envisioned, but still super simple!
