Goodbye Summer Silhouettes!

Hi Everyone! It's hard to believe that Summer Silhouettes is retiring! It was one of the first stamp sets that I got when I joined Stampin' Up! about 2 years ago. 

It is so versatile; especially the leaves, I have used that on many cards!

These are the older style ribbons from Stampin' Up!. Wish they still had some of them. 

Don't you just love the pop of the flower!? It brings it all together.

You're In My Thoughts!

Hi Everyone! Today's card is a Clean and Simple one. One that focuses more on what's on the inside of the card more than the outside.

The flowers are from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch that is unfortunately retiring! They go wonderfully with the Candy Dots.

Dainty Happy Birthday!

Hi Everyone! The weekend is finally here! Have you been pouring over the retired list? I have not really had a chance yet. I am hoping to very soon. What are you sad to see retire? 

My card today is inspired by a card we did at my recent Stamp-A-Stack Retirement party. (Sorry you missed it! Send me a message if you want to know when the next one will be). We made something very similar to this, but using all retiring stamp sets.

Don't you just love that swirly line thing! (Yep, that's the technical term for it!). It makes everything all dainty, especially with those precious little flowers!

I do know that the Itty Bitty Accent Punches are retiring, I am VERY sad to see them go. Not to worry I will still be using them!

Petite Petals re-make!

Hi Everyone! Today's card is a re-make of one I made a few years ago for my daughters' Birthday.

This time I used the flower from the Itty Bitty Accent Punches. I wanted to use the Smokey Slate flowers instead of the cut out like the original. You can find the original here.

Instead of those really cute flowers you could use the new Balloon Punch (the small one would work best), the Star or the Heart from the Itty Bitty Accent Punches, you get the idea! 

I absolutely love our Itty Bitty Accent Punches. I hope they have a set each year!

Clean and Simple Today!

Hi Everyone! A little late getting this out to you! If you read my little story from yesterday, you would know why! lol

Where do you get your inspiration from? Mine comes from all over!

Store bought cards, photographs, sketches, other homemade cards, etc. The sky's the limit!

The inspiration for this one came from a little catalogue that happens to sell boxed card sets and many other household items. One of the cards had a beautiful swirly boarder, so I thought I needed one too!

This swirly boarder comes from the Tin of Cards stamp set. 

Don't you just love it!

This is my favorite flower from the Flower Shop stamp set. It is my go to flower! I hardly ever pick the other ones... I think I just challenged myself! lol

Glittery Happy Birthday!

Hi Everyone! Sale-A-Bration has unfortunately come to an end for another year. I hope you stocked up on all the wonderful free stuff they were offering!

I finally got around to using the Metallics Glitter Tape. So fun! Did you know that it is wide enough to punch out the star, heart and flower from the Itty Bitty Accents punches?? Yep, it can!

See, I told you!

I heat embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment, I really wanted it to shine like the rest of the card. This would look great with the Congratulations from the Sky is the Limit stamp set. Even in gold! Oh, the possibilities!

Just for You...

Hi Everyone! Today's card could be a Birthday card, a Thank you card, or even a Thinking of You card. You could give it to anyone! lol

If I had Wink of Stella, I would have put it on the little flower blossoms.

Botanicals For you

Hi Everyone! It's March Break here!!! So happy to have some time off with the kids. What are you doing over March Break? 

If my girl has any say, we will be crafting! No complaints from me!

Today's card is all about using up some old DSP that I have and of course don't want it to go to waste! That would be horrible!

This is what I came up with...

If you don't have any of our Itty Bitty Accent Punches, I would suggest that you seriously think about investing in them. They come 3 to a set. Right now we have a star (shown), a heart and a flower. Every year they come out with news ones. LOVE them all!

Birthday Blossoms

Hi Everyone! Not much stamping on this card. A nice and quick card, yet still very elegant.

One of the pearls was running away! Don't worry I caught it and put it back!

I like the look of the two greys. It makes the flowers stand out more.

I think the first card in a long time that I haven't used ANY dimensionals! What is this world coming to! lol

Throwback Thursday!

Hi Everyone! Every Thursday, I will share a card or project with you using a retired set. Hence the name Throwback Thursday! (Retired Thursday, just didn't have the same ring to it!)

See all those beautiful flowers! They are from the Regal Colour Collection.

I know not all the punches have retired, but that stamp set is long gone!

The punch that was used for the little note paper (can't remember the name of it!), has been retired for some time. 

A pretty splash of colour during these dark days of winter!

Birthday Blossoms

Hi Everyone! I am thinking about Spring, how about you? That's the inspiration for today's card. 

This is one of those stamp sets that has many possibilities: 
- you can colour the flowers any colour
- stamp the flower image on DSP and punch them out, 
- add punch art to the center of the flowers
- add rhinestones to the center of the flowers
- add Wink of Stella to the petals of the flowers or just the centers

Okay, you get the idea!

Just for You Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Today is a very special day here. It's our baby girls' 10th Birthday (okay, she isn't a baby anymore, but she will always be mine). Where did the time go!

I knew the new DSP (designer series paper) Love Blossoms would be perfect for her card, and the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set Botanicals For You matches wonderfully.

Lately I have been on a sketch hunt. I search out sketches and then remake that card. This one is from Mojo Monday sketch #418. They have amazing sketches. Try one and let me know what you think.

Supplies:

Paper: 
Whisper White 11" x 4 1/4"
Blushing Bride 4" x 5 1/2"
DSP Love Blossoms 3 3/4" x 5"
Rose Red 2 3/4" x 4 1/2"
Whisper White 2 1/2" x 4"
