Party This Way - Retiring

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had plans of posting this weekend but of course other things got in the way. I had to straighten up the new baby's room. After my baby shower last weekend, gifts were taking over that room! Everyone was so generous and we are so appreciative. Yet all the gifts piled in the room made it a little hard to walk, lol! So I needed to take care of that plus the other fun household items. But on to the card. I made this card for my brother's 30 birthday on Friday. I used various papers from Sweet Shop and Summer Smooches for the banner which was punched with the Petite Pennants Builder punch. I also stamped one of the images from Party This Way behind the DSP on the pennants. For the "30", I typed that out in MDS, printed on vellum and attached to the card with brads. I stamped and punched the sentiment and then I stamped and cut out the "Party This Way". This wasn't one of my favorite sets although I do use the "Happy Birthday" sentiment all the time so I will still probably keep this set for that. Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired by Nature - Retiring

Hi! So I got inspired yesterday to start using some retired stamps. This set is one of my favorites that is retiring. I haven't used it much lately but I love those flowers and the grass. This card is based on this card. I liked the idea of layering the flowers on top of the Hello Doily stamp. The background layer of this card if from an idea I saw by Connie Collins. She used the lace border punch to achieve the look of dry embossing. I didn't have that bunch so I used the Doily Punch and punched out several doilies in Pool Party and adhered them to another sheet of Pool Party. Then I sponged all around the edges. I stamped the flower image in Lucky Limeade, then I stamped it again using Poppy Parade and Chocolate Chip for the flowers. I cut the flowers out so they had some dimension. I also stamped the text image from French Foliage on top of the flowers for a little extra something. I used another image from French Foliage on the white piece and sponged that as well. Then I added some ribbon and a little tag with a sentiment from You're a Gem (another retiring set). I hope you enjoyed today's card and I hope it inspired you to bring out an older set you haven't used in a while. Have a great day!

Sweet Popsicles and the Retired Stamp List!

Happy Wednesday! Today's card is another card using the Mouthwatering set from the Occasions Mini. It's the same layout as this card. The background paper is from the Sweet Shop DSP. The paper from this pack is so much fun. There isn't too much to explain on this card, so this will be a short post.



Don't forget to check out the Retired Stamp List. This year's list is a little longer than usual since Stampin' Up! is making room for more new stamps! It's a little sad seeing some of my favorites go but I can't wait for the new catalog which will be here soon - June 1st! In the meantime, check out the list and place your order if one of your must haves is retiring.

Retired Stamp List

On April 25th, the Retired Accessories list will be revealed so check back then for that list.

In the next month, I plan to bring out some of the oldies and favorites and get some use out of them before I start playing with the new products!! Some of these sets I haven't used in a LOOOONG time so it will be fun to pair them up with some of the products from the current catalog.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today is it!

Today is the last day of the 2010 - 2011 catalog. You have until the end of the day to place your order if there is something you want that is retiring. Since I ended up getting pretty busy this week, I wasn't able to make any cards using some of the retired stamps. Instead, I'll show you some of my favorite cards uing the following retiring sets: Petal Pizazz, Great Friend, Simple Friendship and Always. Enjoy!

New Catalog Case

Hello! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing, which was nice. We didn't really have anything going on, so it was good to be home and relax and do a few things. For today's card, I pretty much CASE'd a card from the new catalog. The card in the catalog uses a new hostess set but I decided to use one of the retiring sets - Petal Pizazz. I think this was one of my favorite flower sets (until Fabulous Forets came around, hehe!). The colors I used were Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder (*new*), Pool Party (*new*) and Lucky Limeade (*new*). This card involves LOTS of cutting and LOTS of dimensionals but I like how it came out. I used several of the flowers from Petal Pizazz, cut them out and layered them on the top note die and some First Edition DSP. I added some Pretty in Pink tafetta ribbon, layered over lace ribbon. The sentiment is from A Word For You, stamped in Lucky Limeade. Then I added a couple of rhinestones for some sparkle. Have a great day!

Tart and Tangy

Happy Friday! I am so glad Friday is finally here. It feels like its been a long week. I am so looking forward to my half a day at work so I can go home and play with some stamps! :) Actually I have a couple of household things I need to do first before I can play. But I definitely plan on using this extra free time to get some cards and things done. I'm hoping to work on cards for my next class that I'm planning. Anyway, today's card is for yesterday's challenge on splitcoast which was to not use white cardstock. It's also for my own challenge to not use flowers. And then I decided that for the next week, I'm going to use some stamp sets that are retiring. I will have plenty of time to play with all the new things, I should dust off some of the retiring stamps and play with those. This is a set that I haven't used in a long time but it's such a fun set. I stamped all the fruit images on Confetti Cream cardstock and punched them out with the 1 1/4 circle punch. I added some buttons to the cherries for a fun little touch. These were then layered on scallop squares. The background is marina mist stamped with the Dot, Dot, Dot stamp. Don't mind that the Marina Mist piece is a little crooked. I don't know how that happened. I thought I lined it up correctly and didn't notice it was off until after I took and uploaded the picture. So I didn't feel like going back and retaking the picture. Then I added some Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon and added the sweet treats sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I hope you all have a nice Friday!
