SUPER (Cool) Sunday!

If football isn’t your game, crafting for a challenge is a SUPER way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

The best part of gathering for a game is the snacks, so today, I’ve got PRETZELS for you! One of the new Sale-a-Bration options is the Delightfully Eclectic mega pack of Designer Series Paper (an option you could choose free – use item #165706 when choosing a SAB freebie once your cart hits $50 in my store)

You’ll see how clever Stampin’ Up! was in designing this pack of paper: It coordinates with a LOT of current stamp sets: Inked & Tiled, Just My Type, Cheerful Daisies, Sweet Citrus, SUPER COOL and Simply Sparkling, just to name a FEW. Many of the patterns are versatile enough for any project.

Inspired by the #tfifc459 sketch, I replaced the circles with pretzels and sprinkled a few Opaque Faceted Gems (also a Sale-a-Bration option) around to give a little sparkle:

Don’t be afraid to practice your fussy-cutting skills on these images- the more you try, the better you become. One final tip: I cut my vellum die in half to make it longer and “hid” the space under the sentiment!

Give me a CHEER if you like this take on the sketch (or if it just makes you hungry)!

Friday is a good day for stretching those creative muscles, so I jumped into this unique TGIF Color Challenge!

Once I saw the colors, I went to my stamp collection to choose a stamp set. I hadn’t inked up the new SUPER COOL stamps yet, and the cake roll image reminded me of a red velvet cake:

It needed just a little something after I stamped (and fussy cut) the greeting, so I pulled out the teensy strawberry die from the So Refreshing dies to mimic the fruit on top of the cakes. Just “dip” them into an ink pad to really show off the texture from the dies…

It’s BONUS DAYS at Stampin’ Up!

Hope you make time to ink up a new stamp this weekend, too!
