![]() This will be fun - CAS Christmas wants us to create a winter scene this month! I started by browsing my Christmas sets - and just how long has it been since I stamped my penguin?? Decision made! At first I had all kinds of grand plans - I still have some of the sweet DSP that goes with this set, too - but then I remembered - gotta keep it CAS! I've been seeing some gorgeous cards out there in blog-land this week that have beautifully masked backgrounds, so I decided to try it myself, and made this simple background circle from Pool Party and a Blending Brush. I added my "scene" elements directly over this, and then slid in my penguin - I love him so much! I went a little overboard with the snowflakes, so I broke them up a bit with a few last minute trees - all just part of the scene, lol.

![]() Dang, look at these adorable snow-people cupcakes at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #534! Love them! I decided I couldn't resist re-creating this little gang, and I went straight to my Snow Place set from 2015 to do it! I love this set for a the little snowman wardrobe pieces in it, and of course the dies for each and every piece, lol. It was a snap to set up three snowman in the cute colors on the cupcakes. I guess mine are a little less portly, lol! I even added a Real Red layer to pick up those cupcake wrappers!

Gladly! I so enjoy checking my retired shelves for old faves - I really do have a system for letting go, but some of them, well, they're just keepers, lol. Like Vintage Leaves from 2018. We've had so many pretty leaf sets, but something about this one has just stayed with me. The sketchy quality of the leaves takes on color perfectly, and well, there's DIES, too. Even without any sentiments, usually a cardinal no-no for me, I still love this one! I was happy to add this perfect sentiment from last year's Painted Harvest - just right!

When I saw this lovely open space on our sketch, I knew right away I wanted to feature some pretty DSP, and I knew just what sheet, too, lol. I have been avoiding cutting my sheets of this stylized berry paper from Painted Christmas for a while now - not sure why it makes my heart so happy! All the happy circles? The fun berry-like shapes? The cheery red-painted colors? Who can say, but this was my chance, lol. I even got to play with shortening this fancy sentiment banner from the Seasonal Layers dies - worked like a charm! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our sketch this week - meet you at the challenge!

I'm especially delighted to see Merry Merlot in this mix - I think this is one of our most under-served colors, lol. And it's beautiful! So I featured that for my "detail" picture - my background layer and the sentiment, plus my fussy-cut set of leaves from Little Delights. This set was made for making your own DSP! I chose the Autumnal leaves for this color combo, and the sentiment that went with, but then I found my remaining Gold Holly Leaves to throw on there, too - oops! I think the gold goes great with these colors, anyway!

I went back and forth and finally settled on the Measure of Love stamp set - I really couldn't help it for this challenge, lol! I know we don't have have cupcakes on our cards, but sometimes, well, it just works out that way! This is actually the first time I've used this little pyramid of cupcakes, and I decided to color with Blends, rather than use the little fill-in stamps - tasty! I kept things really simple, added some layering, and finally finished with some leftover Paper Pumpkin sequins - perfect color match!

And what a great chance to play with new Christmas toys, lol! Today I'm showing off the new Sweet Little Stockings suite, a stamp collection of various stockings and critters (yay!), along with the cutest DSP ever! I chose this pretty light string sheet for my background today, but there are so many sweet choices to choose from! I had to start off with the puppy today, because, well, I DO have 3 dogs snoring away under every table in my craft room right now, soooo... Not that any of them would fit in a stocking!

I decided to pull out my Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin from June 2020 - I was enjoying my first few months of lockdown back then, how mind-boggling! Anyway, I love the little sun image from that set, and the various sunny sentiments, too - like this one! I stamped my sun onto some precious hoarded See A Silhouette DSP - remember those color spattered pages? Love it! I also sponged some rays with the help of my old Sunburst Die - coming up sunshine all over, here! Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin (June 2020); See A Silhouette DSP (retired); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & So Saffron Inks; Sunburst Die (retired); Yellow Epoxy Dots; #ATC200. ![]() We have such a pretty inspiration pic at this week's Fusion Seashells combo! I can't resist calling on my Friends Are Like Seashells suite for this one - so sad this DSP will be gone soon with the end of the Spring Mini Catty!Today I tried out stamping my fancier shells ON different sheets of DSP - I LOVE the texture and depth this adds - I should have embossed these babies, too, darn it! I finished with a few Opal Rounds - love the sheen in these...

I decided to go for a more generally masculine (perhaps!) theme, instead of a specific Father's Day card. I think because it's so hot out right now here in Arizona (and getting hotter supposed to be over 110 next week!) I felt myself being pulled by a nautical theme - who doesn't want to be on the water in this weather?? I also wanted a look at some old Paper Pumpkin stamp sets I still have around, and You Are My Anchor, from April 2018, caught my eye. Love the buccaneer font in this set, and I think this phrase is perfect for hubs for a just because card - I know he'll be happy to hear how much I appreciate him! You Are My Anchor (Paper Pumpkin April 2018) Stamp Set; Basic White, Misty Moonlight, Pool Party & Real Red CS; Pool Party & Misty Moonlight Inks; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Baker's Twine; Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots; #TMR151. |
