I am working my way through the Retiring / Last Chance list and making cards with some that I think are especially cute. Today’s card is from one of those stamp sets. The We’ll Walrus Be Friends set. It is adorable and works for any age groupl
This card is also playing along with the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge 238. Here is the sketch for the challenge.
I love playing with the shading for the background. I used the Blueberry Bushel Ink and the sponge roller to do the background. The walrus is stamped in Gray Granite Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends, as is the water and iceburg.
The ribbon is another on the Retiring / Last Chance List. It is the Gray Granite Texture Weave Ribbon. This is an awesome ribbon and is available in Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade. I have used all three and will be sad to see them go.
The sentiment is one solid sentiment, not the two separate ones I show. I used the Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Write Marker and colored and stamped the top part, cleaned the stamp and then colored and stamped the bottom part. They are punched using the Classic Label Punch and then put back into the end to make the flag tip.
To finish, I used the Stampin’ Write Marker and “flicked” the tip into the lid to put a bit of splatter across the card. I also added some of the clear enamel dots for some added texture.
I really appreciate you checking in today and hope you will come back tomorrow.
Below are links to the two Retiring or Last Chance Lists. Keep in mind, a Bundle may retire, but the stamp set and dies or punch can still carry over. So look for the individual item. Also, all of the Stampin’ Blends are not retiring. It is only that in the new catalog, they will be sold in the combo pack only. The only ones retiring are the 2018-2020 In Color ones.

I have quite a lot of retiring Designer Series Paper leftover. So I will be using some of that in the coming month. Today’s project is a great way to use scraps of paper. Quite often I do not have enough to make a full layer on a card. This layout today only requires half of a layer.
I used two pieces of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. You could only use the bottom section of DSP and leave the top as card stock. But I love mixing two different patterns.
The stamp set I used is on the Retiring List as well. It is the I Say Hello set. It has great little sentiments that are “just right”!
The ribbon is a perfect match to the Magnolia DSP . However, it is a new ribbon. It is part of the Ornate Garden Suite. You can see that flyer further down on this post.
To make the cuts, I used the New Paper Trimmer. because the lines are marked well all the way down the trimmer. I placed the piece of DSP in the center of the trimmer. Place the top left corner of the DSP against the 3″ line and the top right corner against the 1 1/2″ line. Cut. This looks like you are almost cutting it in half, but it gives just enough of the angle I wanted. You can play with the measurements to get sharper angles.
Thank you very much for stopping in today. I hope you are anticipating the new Annual Catalog as much as I am. I will try to be showcasing retiring items in the next few weeks. Remember the Last Chance / Retiring List means what it is named. It is Last Chance. When the products are sold out, they are gone for good. So if you see anything you want go ahead and order now. Also please remember my Host Code if your order is below $150.00.

Since the Last Chance or Retiring List is just out. I thought I would share of a few of my favorite cards I have made using some of the retiring ones. Today I will focus on Bonanza Buddies. I love those cuties and all of the products in the Suite!
Here is a sweet little tag and bag topper for a small gift of chocolate!
This is probably my favorite one. I love all the bright colors and the adorable guy.
And here the tag is open for what could be an extra surprise.
A quick and easy Birthday card with the cute paper
I hope this gives you some ideas for this versatile Bonanza Buddies Suite of products. I will really miss this one.

I posted a second post yesterday for the Retiring Items. I have those links after this quick card. I know that may be your priority today! I totally understand.
My quick card is using the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. That papers is so pretty that you could frame it and not worry about doing anything else.
I cut a section of this beautiful DSP and then simply stamped the single flower stamp from the Painted Poppies stamp set. It was a quick and easy card with a few cuts and little coloring. I love the bit of splatter on the stamped flower. It adds just enough!
The sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set and is all I wanted for the card. I like little sentiments and then add the rest on the inside.
I have three links for you regarding the Retiring Lists. If you click on the picture of the list it will give you the complete list. The poster will take you to my online store.
