![]() Oo, I don't do many of these - The Flower Challenge #89 would like us to make a square card! I went to an oldie for this one - a couple of them! First up, I picked out my You've Got This set from 2018 - I have always loved this gorgeous flower, and the brilliant background stamp that comes with it! I even still had a perfect little mask for the flower still in the case, so I was able to do the floral stamping all one layer! I chose the colors based on the DSP I used to custom make the envelope for it - I had to break out the envelope punch board! I used this Petal Pink sheet for that, from our SAB Sunny Days pack, figuring it was pale enough to write on, at least. Then I colored up my blossom with my blends markers. A few Petal Pink Foiled Gems finishes things off. Love it!

![]() What a fun theme this round at The Male Room #184 - "food and drink!" I have some great food sets, but today I wanted to play again with Simply Sparkling - so fun! I did a pair of soda cans, and gave them each a funny label - the sentiments are great for building cute combos! I floated them both over this Sweet Sorbet Glimmer CS, the ombre effect is so cool, lol, and I tucked in some bubbles while I was at it! I finished with a few Sweet Sorbet Pearls, too, gotta have a little bling even on a guy card!

A set I haven't used in forever, but has been on my mind lately got a chance to come out to play today! The Gang's All Meer is from our 2020 SAB, and I've been smitten with these little guys ever since, lol. I decided to pull out the little group photo stamp - don't they look adorable posing like that?? After I colored them all in, I went back and lightened up their little tummies with my color lifter for a little extra touch - SWOON! They sure bring a smile to your face, don't they? The Gang's All Meer Stamp Set (retired 2020); Lemon Lime Twist DSP; Basic Whit & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake & Color Lifter Blends Markers; Stitched So Sweetly Dies; Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon; Enamel Dot Essentials; #Critters84. ![]() Pumpkin Club Mar 30 at 2 PM!

It took me a minute to realize - this combo is just MADE for the new Latte Love suite now available! I'm still totally smitten with all of it, so I jumped right in! First up I created a background from one of my favorite sheets from the DSP, love these creamy swirls! Next I decided I wanted to stamp my own cup this time, and I colored it in with Lemon Lolly before stamping this barrista leaf in the center. Since it was just a smidge too small for the sketch, I floated it on a nice Stylish Circle in Calypso, and finished with my sentiment on Lost Lagoon. I even threw on some Cream Swirl Dots for some extra love, lol. This came out interesting, but I think maybe my circle should have been in Early Espresso... Latte Love Stamp Set; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White, Early Espresso, Calypso Coral & Lost Lagoon CS; Early Espresso Ink; Lemon Lolly Blend Marker; Latte Love & Stylish Shapes Dies; Linen Thread; Swirl Dots; #IMC529. ![]() We have a lovely off-the-edge sketch for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #434! One of those shapes reminded me SO MUCH of one of our stampin' blocks, lol, so I decided to do my background shapes in ALL blocks, lol. I actually don't do this a lot, but it was fun to ink up different ones in different colors! Instead of a floral image, I went with my Botanical Layers set I picked up during Sale-A-Bration - such cool images, though I wish it had dies, lol. I decided to pop up my sentiment on a shape so it didn't get lost in all that green! And I finished with a few Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems, because these look way more green to me in gem form, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge! Botanical Layers Stamp Set; Basic White & Shaded Spruce CS; Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist & Shaded Spruce Inks; Tasteful Labels Dies (retired); Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems; #HSS434. ![]() This'll be neat - AAA Birthday #59's cue this month is "geometric!" Love it! Ever since I played with that old pack of Confetti Celebration DSP from 2014, there has been this triangles sheet on my mind - so bold! Of course, the only color I still have from this particular sheet is Basic Gray, lol. But it sprang right to mind when I saw this challenge! I decided Pumpkin Pie could be close enough, and did my remaining details in Gray - this is one of my rare no-stamping cards! Such a blast - I layered up the DSP, then cut a Stitched Triangle from Pumpkin Pie. I finally added it at an angle across the background pattern, then I set up the sentiment with my Wanted To Say dies - LOVE these things! The little cloud layer behind it lets me pop it up with the big triangle! I finished with a few Gray Faceted Gems, the perfect touch. I'm so happy with how this came out! Wanted to Say & Stitched Triangles Dies; Confetti Celebration DSP (retired); Basic White, Basic Gray & Pumpkin Pie CS; Faceted Gems; #AAAB59. ![]() We have some delicate pretty colors for you this round at Sunday Stamps #331! With all those eggs, I couldn't help but think of Easter! I decided to play with Fluffiest Friends as soon as I spotted that cute little bunny! Since this set doesn't sentiments, I went with this pretty sentiment in our just-finished Sale-A-Bration set, Heartfelt Hellos! I decided to keep it all ultra CAS - no layers today! I did a little strand of background grass from Pear Pizzazz, and stamped my sentiment on Pool Party to float above that. After coloring in my bunny cutie, I popped him up overlapping the background pieces - so cute! At the last second, I decided to finish with these subtle Lemon Lolly Dots. Now I want an Easter cupcake, too! I can't wait to see your subtle projects for our colors this round - meet you at the challenge! Fluffiest Friends & Heartfelt Hellos (SAB 2024) Stamp Sets; Pear Pizzazz DSP (retired); Basic White, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz (retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia & Pool Party Blends Markers; Fluffiest Friends Dies; Heartfelt Hexagons Punch; Lemon Lolly Dots; #SSC331. ![]() This is intriguing - Cardz 4 Guyz #342 is for "Namesake Day" - haven't heard of that one before! At the very least, I need to incorporate a letter in my design! Since this is a GUY challenge, I started by looking up hubby's name - Todd. I was surprised to learn that it means "fox" in Old English - now that's something I can work with! By far the cutest fox, BESIDES hubby, lol, that I have is the speedy one on the little moped in my Zoo Crew DSP pack. I also STILL have my Define Your Life set from 2007, and the "T" in that set has the word "together!" Perfect! I decided to make an anniversary card with two of the cute foxes, and color their scarves to show that they're a couple, lol. Is this too obscure? I'm happy with it, but what a strange journey it was! Define Your Life & Defining Alphabet Stamp Sets (retired 2007); Poppy Parade & Zoo Crew DSPs; Basic White & Poppy Parade CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Poppy Parade Inks; Pool Party & Bubble Bath Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Matte Black Dots; #C4G342. ![]() Woo, hope you're ready! We have some Speedy Spring Flowers for our challenge this round at As You See It #319! One of my favorite ways to keep the time down on our speed challenges is to let the DSP do the heavy lifting, so to speak, lol. So when I checked out my stamp shelves for a good flower set to use, I tried to focus on ones that I knew I had DSP for. When Pansy Patch caught my eye, I knew right away I wanted to do this one - I suspect this beauty will finally retire this year, sigh. Did I still have any DSP for it though? I sure did, and it had a bunch of already cut pansies and leaves in it, too - jackpot! I assembled my items, and started the clock! I didn't really have a layout plan, and I didn't pre-select my pansies from the pile in there - oops, plus a run to the punch tower for my sentiment - so I still ended up taking 6 minutes 44 seconds while I fiddled pieces around - whew! I even had time to do the envelope! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy flowers for us, too - meet you at the challenge! Pansy Patch Stamp Set; Pansy Petals DSP (retired); Basic White & Evening Evergreen (retired) CS; Evening Evergreen Ink (retired); Pansy Dies; Large Oval Punch; Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds (retired); #AYSI319. ![]() Love it - AAA Cards #260 has a sweet sketch for us this round! I still have a couple stamp sets waiting on my desk for their ink-christening, so I checked there first for ideas. And we have a winner! Cap & Gown is our new graduation set, and since the one I've been using is Pure Gumption from 2013, I decided to do a little refresh, lol. It has some very fun images, that are perfect for coloring! Yay! I did a quick little trio of the important images, and added a little color to go with - Blueberry Bushel twice in one week? Aliens must have been here, lol. Anyway, as usual, I couldn't resist some cute little Blueberry embellies, too, but still pretty CAS, I think! Cap & Gown Stamp Set; Basic White & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, SU700 & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems; #AAA260. |
