I have another retiring products card. I cannot seem to stop and it is usually because of the Designer Series Paper. I hate to let some of this go. I chose this stamp set specifically because of the DSP. The background stamp mimics exactly the DSP I used from Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper. So here is one more play with the Hello Friend stamp set.
Hello Friend, 144059
Actually there is quite a bit of retiring product here. The stamps, DSP, and the Enamel Shapes are all waving goodbye. The base of the card is Thick Very Vanilla card stock. I used Tranquil Tide as the background layers and the Eastern Palace DSP for the focal point. The sentiment is stamped in New Blueberry Bushel Ink. It is a beauty!!
Here are the measurements I used for this card. I actually got the idea from looking at sketches on Pinterest. You never know where Ideas will come from!
Measurements:
Base is 4 1/4 X 11 scored at 5 1/2 folded, and burnished
Tranquil Tide is 4 X 5 1/4
DSP is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
Small Tranquil Tide is 2 3/4 X 4
Small DSP is 2 5/8 X 7/8
Small Very Vanilla is 2 5/8 X 3
NOTE: or if you don’t mind using a little extra DSP…..Make the small DSP 2 5/8 X 3 7/8 and then simply lay the Very Vanilla directly on top of it at the top with the DSP only showing at the bottom. It does make the alignment and size much easier to deal with. This is what I actually did on my card since the DSP is retiring!!

Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that.

It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
I have married new and old products for today’s card. The stamp set is Beautiful You and I am thrilled that it carried over to the new catalog. I have paired it with the returning favorite Mint Macaron and a new color Grapefruit Grove. They are great together I believe.
Beautiful You, 143637
The other new items you might notice are the gorgeous ribbon. The 1/8″ ribbon is my favorite for depth on cards. It is “Just Enough” without overpowering. I also stamped on the Natures Poem Designer Series Paper with the lady and fussy cut it out. The stripes for her dress and the added stripe on the card front are one side, and the leafy print umbrella is the other side of the same paper. I know I have said it often , but I LOVE Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful double sided DSP!!
The ink behind the lady is Soft Sea Foam, another new color. I used the Clear Block “H” as the stamp. And the texture on the background layer is the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. I greatly appreciate it, and love your comments. Please let me know if you have any questions. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
Don’t forget that the Share What You Love Suite of products is still available for pre-order through the end of the month.

Today’s card is back to showcasing a retiring set. Although this set and the matching punch will be sticking around my house. This set is perfect for Military, Law Enforcement and especially a super Father’s Day card.
My Hero , 141957
I paired this lovely stamp with the True Gentleman DSP. It is another beautiful Designer Series Paper that is super for use in all kinds of projects. It is layered on Chocolate Chip. The card base is Thick Very Vanilla with a layer of Crumb Cake on top. And do not forget this perfect badge punch. Unfortunately is is retiring as well, so get it while you can.
The badge also gives you a bit of a sneak peek at a couple of new colors. The gold is Mango Melody and the blue is Blueberry Bushel. Both are gorgeous !!

Today’s card is a 3 X 3 Gift Tag with the cutest little critter and fold around. The fold is from my very sweet friend Julie DiMatteo from The Paper Pixie. She did both the 3 X 3 and a box it fits into. You can see her wonderful video HERE. She explains projects wonderfully and it would be a mistake for me to try to do better!!
I needed a baby card and ended up with a card and a gift tag all in one. Plus it was so much fun to make that I made several of the Napkin ‘folds using different DSP.
A Little Wild, 144344
I truly adore the cute animal tags in the A Little Wild set and matching dies. I have used them several times as just individual animals, and am really thrilled with the great tag it makes. Who knew? A tag works as a tag!!! Silly me!!
And here is the Napkin Fold part. It is very easy, really cute, and as a classic Julie DiMatteo project, it is much easier than it looks!!
.
The inside sentiment and little flower are from the A Little Wild stamp set as well. I really love the idea of this being a tag and card. It is a great way to add a little something extra with the fold. As I said earlier, I got carried away making these folds and now have several ready to be made into cards for easy Thank You type hand outs.
Thank you for stopping by today. I greatly appreciate you visiting and your comments. The animal tags are carrying over into the new catalog. But alas, the DSP is retiring. Now is the perfect time to grab up the retiring DSP while it is still available and a bit discounted.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! We are grinning from ear-to-ear with excitement over all the amazing, new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog – and you’re going to love what we are sharing today. Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects that offer sneak peeks at new products from the upcoming catalog. What fun! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My Top of the List Favorite from the new Catalog is the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper. Actually, it and all that is in that Suite of products! From the banner above, it would appear that Brian King loves this paper as well!! My card for today focuses on quite a few of the products, but especially the DSP.
Love What You Do, 148042
As I said above, I have used quite a few products from this AWESOME Suite. In doing so, I have a lot more texture than I normally do. Of course the star is the Designer Series Paper. As an unexpected touch, I let it be the main focal point and added a little extra with different ribbons. (All of the supplies are listed at the very bottom of the post.)
The sentiment is part of a “Must Have” stamp set as well. It is Love What You Do and has beautiful flowers, backgrounds, and sentiments. I know I say it is all a Must Have, but this catalog is really over the top as far as I am concerned and I do want it all!
One other unexpected item on my card is the lighter base color, which is Petal Pink. It is an Oh My! color. I think it has a touch of light peach to the pink. Whatever it may have, it is gorgeous. And it pairs well with other colors both bold and bright.
Thank you for stopping by my page on the Blog Hop. I very much appreciate it and love to read your comments.
