May Flowers

Welcome to this week's Fabulous Friday post, the Sisters in Stamping are posting cards with some May flowers this week. Here is my card--

Deja vu you say?? Yes, you have seen this card before here. I wanted a re do of this card using this retiring stamp set Painted Harvest (#144783, $21.00) because using a different color of ink with this set changes the whole look! Here is another card that uses this set.... see what I mean!

Thanks for coming by! Karla 😀

Aqua Painter Birthday

I'm back this week with a card for the Sisters in Stamping Fabulous Friday post. We are looking at the Aqua Painters this week, they are on the Last Chance Retiring List. Here is my card--

When I found out that we were featuring the Aqua Painters this week I just couldn't help myself -- I went into my Box of retiring stamp sets and products! This card is made completely of retiring products:


We will start with the ink and the card stock, I've really enjoyed this InColor combo, so bright and cheery! I'll be sad to see them go.


Next, the punched strip along the side was done with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, it is also on the list.


Take a close look at the stamped flowers and you'll see the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins (#146933, $7.00).


Lastly, the stamp set Perennial Birthday (#151250, $22.00).

There you have it! Go over to the Sisters blog today to see the other cards.

 Happy Stamping! Karla 😊

Happy Mother's Day!

Well hey, and welcome back! This week the Sisters in Stamping are showing Mother's Day cards, here is my card for today--

I used a retiring stamp set (yes, it's that time of year) called Delightful Day (pg. 34, #149466), it is a small set that, as you can see has quite few uses: 

Inside I used the stem stamp in a line and added Happy Mother's Day from Itty Bitty Greetings (pg.30, #151331). Both of the colors I used Call Me Clover (card stock) and Lovely Lipstick (card stock and ribbon) are retiring InColors. Click here to take a look at the whole retiring list.

Thank-you for stopping by! 

Happy Stamping, Karla 😀 

It's That Retiring Time of Year

 Welcome back! This week the Sisters in Stamping's Fabulous Friday post features the 2020 Retiring List, that was published last week. Here is my project--

 I wan to mention a few things about this card.... I used sponge daubers to make the polka dot background and I colored that cute little worm's bow tie and rhinestone in with markers.

Here is a photo of the inside of this birthday card. It's a real shame that this set is retiring so soon! As you can see by the photo below, this set (Check You Out, #149462) has some really cute pieces to it.... I was so looking forward to using the eyeglasses and that tiny graduation hat 😔

That's all I have for this week, make sure you go over to the Sisters blog to see what the other girls have to show. 

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

PS. A quick link to the PDF of Retiring product from the Occasions Mini Catalog too.

Masculine Birthday

Welcome to this week's Fabulous Friday post! The Sisters in Stamping are looking at some Masculine cards this week. I love when this challenge is picked as a theme, here is my card for today-- 

Yesterday I went through the Annual Retired List and I picked a few of the things that are leaving with the introduction of the New Idea Book & Catalog on June 3rd. First the stamp set Country Road (151356, $19.00) I've had this set for awhile, it's a nice blend of images:

        

               


Next, I used the Pigment Sprinkles (#149663, on Sale for $16.10-- 30% off) to make my colored background.


I tied it up with Garden Green twine (Country Club Twine Combo Pack, #151318, $9.00) that matches the base of the card.


Lastly I picked one of the Retiring InColors Blueberry Bushel (cardstock, #146968, $8.75) as an accent.

Well that's it for me today, come back next week when the Sisters in Stamping are showing some more sets that will be availible until June 2, 2020.

Happy Stamping! Karla 😊
