SSC375 The Mountains are Calling...

Welcome to another Sunday Stamps color challenge!  I've been doing some hiking in the Catskills lately, so I've got some snowy mountains on my mind.

Starting with the colors, I looked through my patterned paper to find something that might fit the bill.

Ha, most of my card is brought together using scraps and other tossed aside pieces, so that's pretty cool!

For inspiration, here's a shot I took from Sherrill Mountain about a week ago.

I hope you'll join us using this week's color combination!

Stamps: Above It All; Paper: Bubble Bath, Blueberry Bushel, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Bright & Beautiful DSP; Ink: Bubble Bath, Basic Gray; Accessories: Purple Sequins, Blending Brush, Banner Punch, Stapler, Greatest Journey Dies, Forever Forest Dies, Above It All Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

SSC374 Snowy Wonder

Hi All!  Welcome to another Sunday Stamps challenge.  Guys, my REI catalog had some fun paper on the backside!  I bet I could use that for a card.

I'm only about a year late on this cute set, Snowy Wonder.  I didn't have the coordinating dies, and then happy incident, I opened the unused stamp case and found them inside!  Joyful!!  My main image layout was CASE'd from Laura Milligan.

ETA: I was looking for a place to tuck the rest of the REI paper, and I found the DSP from this bundle too, unopened.  Wow, not like me, but it's like found mad money!

Here's this week's sketch by Laurie.

Stamps: Snowy Wonder; Paper: Evening Evergreen, Cloud Cover, Whisper White, REI Catalog; Ink: Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Evening Evergreen, Cloud Cover, Pecan Pie; Accessories: Pinewood Planks EF, Angled Tag Topper Punch, Snowy Wonder Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies, 3" Circle Die, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

SSC373/SSC372 Christmas Traditions ~ Merry & Bright

Hi All!  Welcome to another Sunday Stamps challenge.  I signed up for Stampin' Up's Traditions of Christmas craft class on Facebook to get some creative juices flowing, and *spoiler alert*, I flipped one of the cards to match this week's sketch.

This was also my shoebox project for the NEPA shoebox swap.

Here's this week's sketch by Heather, in addition to the previous color challenge.

Stamps: Christmas Greenery, Traditional Labels; Old Olive, Secret Sea, Pool Party, Whisper White, Traditions of Christmas DSP, Gold Foil; Ink: Old Olive, Secret Sea, Pool Party Stampin' Blends; Accessories: Opal Rounds, Wink of Stella, Blender Pen, Christmas Greenery Dies, Traditional Labels Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

NEPA Shoebox Swap: Baking Spirits Bright

Today I'm attending Northeast Pennsylvania (NEPA) Shoebox Swap with some of my Splitcoaststampers friends.  Meeting IRL!  This year's theme is "Baking Spirits Bright".

ATC:  I thought it would be fun to "bake" a pumpkin pie rather than Christmas treats.

Stamps: More Than Autumn, Acorny Thank You; Paper: Timid Tiger, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Autumn Traditions DSP, Typeset DSP; Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Blends; Accessories: Blending Brush, Watercolor Brush, Sprig Punch, Give It A Whirl Dies, Bitty Banners Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

Fancy Fold:  I challenged myself to use up some 6 x 6" DSP.  So I created the Double Gate Fold using these instructions.

The inside of the card does say "Baking spirits bright".  Why not?

Stamps: Homemade Treats, Gingerbread Man; Paper: Real Red, Pecan Pie, Whisper White, Various Card Bases, Various DSP; Ink: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie, Smoky Slate; Accessories: Forever Plaid EF, Homemade Treats Die, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

So much fun with my lovely friends!

I've got one more swap to share tomorrow...

SSC371/SSC369 That Stinks!

Hey All!  Welcome to another Sunday Stamps challenge.

I created a card for our downline meeting, using as many current products as I could pull together.  Wanting to follow the previous color combination, I started stamping and said, um, my wagon does not look like it's full of old hay.  Hmmm.  Well, switch gears and make it a twisted card.

The inside sentiment says "I forgot your birthday."

Here's this week's sketch by Deb, combined with a previous color challenge.

Stamps: Tractor & Co, Just Stickin' Cuty by Unity; Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Nests of Winter DSP; Ink: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark; Accessories: Earth Tones Shimmer Gems, White Embossing Powder, Tractor & Co Dies, Die-Cutting Machine.

SSC366/SSC364 In Color Cone Flowers

[This is happening!  I'm gonna make a card!]  Hello All, welcome to my little corner of the internet where I struggle to find time in the summer to make a card.  This week I'm going to double dip, using the current color combination on Sunday Stamps, as well as a make up on a missed sketch.

I couldn't resist making a cone flower card, using some In Colors.  [I used a rubber brayer to add some color to the embossed sentiment.]

And sure enough, I have a photo of some cone flowers on my phone as well.

Here is this week's color combination and past sketch by Lisa.

Stamps: Daisy Lane, Nature Walk; Paper: Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Whisper White, Sunny Days DSP; Ink: Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Blends; Accessories: 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls, Flower Soft, 1/2" Circle Punch, Brayer, Sponges, Thoughtful Moments Hybrid EF, Die-Cutting Machine, e-cutter.

This is a good time to let you know you can shop the 2025-27 In Color sale starting August 5.

SSC362 Layered Thoughts

Hello All!  Swinging in late for the Sunday Stamps challenge this week.  I am doubling up, making a downline shoebox swap as well.  Our group usually swap with every new catalog, and I don't have many new sets from this one, so I'm using the sentiment set Layered Thoughts we received from Onstage Raleigh.

I paired the sentiment with some birthday images from Turtle-y Cute DSP (which you can cut out with the Turtle-y Awesome Dies).

Here's this week's sketch by Melissa.

Stamps: Layered Thoughts; Paper: Shaded Spruce, Whisper White, Turtle-y Cute DSP; Ink: Shaded Spruce; Accessories: Shades of Green Hexagons, Turtle-y Awesome Dies, Die-Cutting Machine.
