For the Birds Friday

Retirement 2014

We are showing a few of our Retiring Stamp Sets over at the Sisters in Stamping blog this week. Here is my card--

You may recognize it from this post, from about a year ago. This stamp set One in a Million is Retiring along with the Tastfully Trim BigShot die that made the waves. I'm really sad to see that die retire it is one of my favorites. You could make this card in any color combination and it would be just as nice.

Thank-you for coming by today! Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Talkin' Retirement List

Hey! Here's my card for today's post--

Everything I used on my card is on the retiring list (except the Early Espresso card stock). The stamp set Animal Talk is one of my favorites and fairly new to the Stampin' Up! catalog so, I was surprised to see it on the Retirement List....boo-hoo!

See you next week!

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

The Sisters Favorites for Friday

 

Hello- and Welcome! This week at the Sisters in Stamping blog we are making projects and cards using some of our favorite retiring stamp sets from the 2012-13 Idea Book and Catalog. The list was published a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still having a hard time looking at the list. It's always so sad to see all of the fantastic sets that are leaving! Here is my project for this week--

 

We did this cute sour cream container at the last Mother Daughter Stamping Night and it was a big hit! It is filled with M&M's and it makes a maraca like noise when it's shook. 

 

 

There are 4 bird cages in the stamp set, starting with the largest cage stamp using Night of Navy ink. I stamped them randomly on a 1/2 sheet (5 1/2x 4 1/4) of Naturals Ivory card stock. Use Sticky Strip (on the shortest end) and roll it up to make a tube. Pinch one end closed and seal with sticky strip. Fill 3/4 of the way full (not too full) and pinch the other end of your tube in the opposite direction, seal with sticky strip.

 

Thanks for coming by today!
