Today I have another card using Retiring Products. I have included some retiring designer series paper as well as a stamp set. The set has been great for small cards. I used it several times for Fall Thank You cards and some table decorations. I also adore the name of this stamp set, Many Blessings! The sentiments in the set reflect that name too, which is part of what makes the different pieces so versatile. Here is my project for today.
Many Blessings, 147775
And after mentioning the cute sentiments, I did not put one on the front of the card. Duh! I love this gorgeous Country Lane Designer Series Paper. Especially these two which are Blackberry Bliss. For me at least I find myself preferring the “back side” of the DSP as much as the fronts. I think of them as having backs and fronts, doesn’t everyone? LOL!
I was showcasing the DSP as well as the cute stamp, so the card is fairly simple. I stamped the image in Gray Granite and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends. I finished with going over the flowers and pot with Wink of Stella to give it a little shine.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you have enjoyed these last minute cards. The 2019 Occasions Catalog and the 2019 Sale-A-Bration Catalogs go live tomorrow! I know I have a long list and hope you do as well. If you need catalogs, and do not currently have a demonstrator, I would love for you to reach out to me. I can get one to you quickly.
I have the measurements for today’s card just below this and the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.
I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve and a wonderful beginning to your New Year. I stayed home and enjoyed the quiet.
Today I am continuing with sharing new projects with some of the Retiring Items from the Holiday Catalog. Today’s project uses a stamp set that I am surprised did not carry over. It has multiple stamps for most of the different times of year. I am referring to the Making Everyday Bright stamp set. The matching punch and stamp set did carry over however.
I have also used my Stamparatus for another great “Additional Idea”. I have posted previously about the “Wreath Blank”. You can see that HERE. That post explains the wreath process and how to make one of your own. I will remind you that I used the Layering Squares Dies. And used the largest of the Non-scalloped ones. I suggest making a couple of the templates to have on hand. I store mine in the Stamparatus Carry Bag so I always know where they are.
Here is today’s project, which could be either a “love you” or Valentine card.
Making Everyday Bright, 148813
I will say that I TWO Step wreath maker on this one. The stamps were not cut to allow doing the bulb and the glow at the same time. So I had to do the process twice to get both images. I believe it was well worth my time to do that. I am very happy with the final product.
I did have trouble deciding what to put in the center. I finally decided on the heart from the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. I punched it from Flirty Flamingo card stock and then added some Fine Tip Glue Pen glue to the top of it for a bit of added shine.
The inside of the heart lightbulbs are colored with the Light Flirtly Flamingo Stampin’ Blend. The DSP I used is the beautiful All My Love DSP from the upcoming Occasions Catalog.
Thank you so much for checking out my post. I hope this gives you some cause to review the Clearance Rack for this stamp set. As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.
In the next couple of days, I am sharing a couple of items that are on the chopping block . Don’t panic, I simply mean they are retiring. This makes me sad because I hate to see some great sets get sent out to pasture. Although if Stampin’ Up! did not do that there would not be room to add new products. And I love new products the best!! It is just one of life’s dilemmas.
To say goodbye to some of these lovely stamp sets and dies, I thought I would share some projects with you that showcase them over the next couple of days. The 2019 Occasions Catalog does not begin until the 3rd of January, so we still have a few more days of play time.
Today’s project is last minute treat holders. I know everything I have done this holiday season has been last minute. And I have used these little treat holders a few times. I say “last Minute” because they are very quick and easy to make. I thought they would also be good for a New Year’s Eve or Day idea. A friend used to always have a New Year’s Day Brunch and this would be a cute Table Favor type item.
So here are my boxes. I used a variety of papers to show they look terrific no matter the color scheme.
Takeout Treats Bundle, 149990
I used two DSP from the retiring list and one from the new Occasions Catalog. And here is one filled with some really yummy cinnamon candy.
Takeout Treats Bundle, 149990
The one with the candy is from the All My Love Designer Series Paper. I believe these would make great little Valentines’s Day Treats for any group of folks (young or old).
I am showing extra pictures today. I wanted to show you the use of a BLANK when stamping multiples of something. And of course, it showcases the Stamparatus!
I die cut out the tags I needed from this scrap piece of paper. I then placed it in the Stamparatus. As you can see in the bottom right opening, I stamped there to make sure I had the stamp positioned properly. Now I simple put my tags back into that bottom right slot and stamp each one.
I feel like I have found the lucky pot of gold every time I use this method. It is so much easier than trying to die cut the already stamped paper, or lining up the old Stamp – a – majig each time. Plus extra uses for the Stamparatus are wonderful.
As I offered back in the Fall, if you purchase a Stamparatus from me, I will send you the Stamp ‘n Storage Magnet pad spacer free of charge.
I do have one tip for these Takeout Treat Boxes. Be careful in your cutting out of the pattern if you have directional paper. You have to think about it a minute as you lay out the piece so both sides are going in the correct direction. Remember, you have to cut two of the shape to make one box. Also, you really should use the Multi-purpose Liquid Glue for these. It gives you just a minute of wiggle room to get the seams lined up perfectly. Normally I do not use glue because I make a mess. But for these type projects it is definitely the way to go.
Thank you so much for viking today! I hope you will return tomorrow for my next Retiring Project. As always the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.
I am playing along with the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge 170 today. I love the different placement of the sentiment. Or in this case, the divided sentiment. Here is my project.
Lasting Lily (SAB), 149717
I changed the orientation my card, and I am now a fan of this split sentiment. I will be doing this in different forms soon. I went with soft colors for this card. And yes, I consider the Crumb Cake a soft color when paired when these colors. The Neutral Collection, for the most part, are flexible like that.
I have paired a Sale-A-Bration stamp set with one of the 2019 Occasions Catalog new Designer Series Paper and ribbon. I love the paper and ribbon in the catalog and this is one of the prettiest. The ribbon is a combo pack of Flirty Flamingo in 1/8″ and Lovely Lipstick in 1/2″ widths.
The stamp set is a FREE with $100.00 purchase. I know that sounds expensive, but you get 16 stamps in the set. There is a large ,and this small flower, and several sentiments in beautiful fonts. I am a sucker for fonts!! So Please do not overlook this awesome set.
Thank you so much for visiting today. We are expecting a lot of rain for the next several days, so I hope to be creating new projects for next week to share with you. And as always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the page.
