Hi Stamping Friends!
Have you placed an order for your favorite retiring products yet? The items sure are going quickly this year, especially with the stamps being while supplies last, too. The last day to order retiring items is June 4, 2014.
Created by Peggy Tassler. Color combo: Wisteria Wonder & Silver Glimmer.
I love purple, so Peggy's Wisteria Wonder card grabbed me right away! The stunning, soon-to-be-retired Silver Glimmer Paper accents take this card to another level!
Have You Heard? I thought it was odd that Silver Glimmer Paper made the retiring list, but rumor has it that we may be getting it from another manufacturer or reconfigured in some way, so it may not be truly gone. I don't have any confirmed inside scoop, so don't hold me to that. We'll find out for sure on Monday when Stampin' Up! is having their first ever Catalog Premiere event simultaneously in 35 cities around the country! I'm not able to go, but several of my team members will be representing the Too Cool team in Columbus, OH!
Also features: Teeny Tiny Wishes (wood), Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon, Vellum Card Stock, Rhinestone Jewels
Created by Becky High. Color combo: Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Whisper White.
I love the ombré effect that Becky created with the retiring Simply Sketched Hostess (wood) set leaves. So pretty and perfect for a sympathy card. It pains me so to see this stamp set retire…<sigh>.
Created by Rita Berning. Color combo: Crushed Curry, Coastal Cabana & Whisper White.
What a gorgeous faux-quilt background! Rita cut squares of the beautiful retiring Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper, mounted them on a Whisper White card stock foundation, then embossed the entire sheet with the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder. I love the "get well" sentiment, from the retiring Perfectly Penned (wood) set, with the "blanket" background…it's snuggle-up, cozy combination.
Also features: White Baker's Twine, retired Brights Buttons.
Created by Peggy Tassler. Color combo: Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green & Whisper White.
Peggy made cute lil' froggie with the retiring Green Gumball In Color card stock! How adorable! He's made with punches from the Large Oval, Boho Blossoms, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle punch and the circle from the retiring Itty Bitty Shapes Pack.
Also features: Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Scallop Oval Punch, retiring Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper, and retiring Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon.
Created by Peggy Tassler. Color combo: Crushed Curry, Basic Black & Whisper White.
Peggy also created this darling punch art bee on a background created with the retiring Happy Day (wood) stamp set! Punches used: Large Oval Punch, 1" Circle Punch, retired Ornament Punch, Extra Large Oval Punch.
Also features: Vellum Card Stock, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, retiring Corner Rounder Punch.
Created by Darla Eigenschink. Color combo: Smoky Slate, Raspberry Ripple & Whisper White.
Darla created this elegant wedding card using the retiring Card Base Pop-n Cuts Die. I love the little tucked-in corners detail that the die makes! The sentiment is also a retiring Hostess set called Banner Greetings (wood).
Also Features: Flower Shop (wood), Petite Petals (wood), Petite Petals Punch, On Film Framelits, retiring 3/8" White Taffeta (all Taffeta is going), Silver Foil and Rhinestone Jewels.
Created by Kathe Madsen. Color combo: Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding & Whisper White.
One of the accessories that I'm sorry to see go is the Designer Frames Embossing Folders. Kathe used my favorite oval frame on this card, along with the Petite Petals (wood) flowers. The leaves on the background are from the Simply Sketched Hostess (wood) set.
Also features: Petite Petals Punch, Pearl Jewels
Created by Peggy Tassler. Color combo: Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz & Whisper White.
Peggy tried out the Simply Scored scoring technique that I featured on my Simply Scored backgrounds post.
She used the retiring Secret Garden (wood) set and coordinating Secret Garden Framelits, which are also retiring.
Also features: Bird Builder Punch, Teeny Tiny Wishes (wood).
