For today’s project I am playing along with the Global Design Project Color Challenge. This one was a little more challenging for me.
And here is the Color Challenge:
I do love the color combination but had a bit of trouble coming up with a layout, etc. I finally decided on showcasing the card stock. I chose the Soft Seafoam as the main layer and embossed it with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. This is a folder that I rarely use, but love it here.
The flowers are from the Lovely You Stamp Set, as is the “Smile”. I colored the flowers using my Stampin’ Write Markers. I know they have been feeling underloved since the debut of the Stampin’ Blends. However, I would never do away with them as they are the perfect thing for stamps you want to add more than one color to, like these flowers. Sadly the Markers are not available individually, with the exception of the Basic Black. They are great to have on hand though and worth the investment of a color family at a time.
I stamped the set of flowers and die cut them using the Tasteful Labels Dies in the upcoming catalog. The extra flower on the banner, also a Tasteful Labels Die, I fussy cut and added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a touch of Wink Of Stella to the flower petals for a bit of shimmer.
To ground the sentiment shape, I used the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon in Whisper White. It does not show a lot on the photo but it actually is a perfect compliment. I also used the Sprig Punch to add some detail behind the image and to bring more of the Pretty Peacock to the front.
Thank you so much for stopping in today. I really appreciate it.

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 am still showcasing a mix of New, Retiring, and Carry Over products. Today’s card is an even split on the three.
I cannot choose what I believe to be the star of this card. All of the elements are fairly special. I started with the Merry Merlot of the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper. In looking for a complimentary image, I came across the Path of Petals stamp set. By using the colors for the flowers, I completed the rest of the card colors.
The Path of Petals is a photopolymer stamp set. So it is very easy to overlay each piece. In looking for a sentiment to match the flowers, I found another carry over stamp set in Parcels & Petals. And to highlight the sentiment, I used the new catalog Favorite punch of Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. This punch is AWESOME!! It is two different ends and each has three sizes for the layer. I used the 1/2″ and 3/4″ sizes for the sentiment. Another great thing about this punch, is that it can be any length you need! WooHoo!!
Thank you for stopping in today. I greatly appreciate it. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

In cleaning up my craft space and pulling retiring products, I have realized there are tons of DSP and pieces of DSP. Since I have been seeing all of the “scrap” cards, although I believe there is a more professional name, I decided to put all of those little pieces into a card.
The card is made from strips of the wonderful Woven Threads Designer Series Paper. I have used this paper quite often so I had various size scraps of it. I left the widths as they were and just layered them onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. After I trimmed all of the pieces, I layered that onto the Rococo Rose layer.
Besides the gorgeous DSP, the star of the card are these awesome new dies. They are the Tasteful Labels Dies. I love how you can see the bit of embossing in the Sahara Sand background one.
The sentiment is from the retiring set Perfectly Framed. It pairs with the Ornate Frames Dies that are Not retiring! But I do love the sentiments and fonts in the Perfectly Framed set. I believe it is still available!!
I grounded the sentiment layer with the 2019-2021 In Color Scalloped Ribbon in Pretty Peacock. I was pleasantly surprised that the ribbon for all of those In Colors is staying. WooHoo!! I also added a couple of the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots in Purple Posy. The Faceted Dots and Enamel Dots are my go to for adding just a touch of something more. Since they are adhesive backed, they add so easily.
I hope you will give this scrappy type card a try. I know you have pieces of DSP or even embossed card stock around. I would love to see your version!

The Parisian Blooms Designer Series Paper is just beautiful. So I find myself sharing yet another card with you using that paper. I am so happy the stamp set is carrying over. It is a favorite as well.
This card has a little more layers than normal. I wanted to showcase the paper, but also the simple sentiment. To do that I used the Painted Labels Dies for the swirly circle. The sentiment layer is cut using the Layering Circles Dies and fits perfectly inside the stitching. The flowers and leaves are cut using the Cherry Blossoms Dies that match the Forever Blossoms stamp set.
To sort of “ground” the swirly and flowers, I added an extra panel of the scripted DSP from the same DSP pack. As a finishing touch, I added a couple of the Champagne Rhinestones on the flowers and one above the sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have an enjoyable weekend and please come back next week for more projects.

While going through the retiring products and especially the Designer Series paper, I find those that I want to use again. Today’s card is a mix of retiring and carry over. It is the Sailing Home Suite. The stamp set is carrying over, but sadly the DSP is retiring. I made a quick card with mostly scraps of the paper.
I love the stripes. There are more in the pack of paper, but these are the two I thought would work best here. I layered two strips onto a piece of Whisper White and then onto the Night of Navy base.
The banner is stamped with the anchor from the Sailing Away stamp set. I “stamped off” before stamping on the Whisper White card stock. The ink is Balmy Blue as is the anchor behind the sentiment. Except that one is stamped full strength. I cut the banner using the Banner Triple Punch.
The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. This is a one stamp set card. I punched the layers using the 2″ and 2 1/4″ circle punches. I tried a Night of Navy background circle but decided the Balmy Blue fit better against the navy stripe.
Thank you for stopping in today. I have the measurements for my card just below and all of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.
Measurements:
Base of Night of Navy is 4 1/4 X 11
Whisper White is 4 X 5 1/4
Navy stripe DSP is 2 1/2 X 5 1/8
Balmy Blue Stripe DSP is 1 3/8 X 5 1/8
Banner is 2 X 4 before punching

Hello, welcome to the Pals Blog Hop! This month our theme is “Goodbye to January-June Mini and 2019-2020 Annual Catalogs and Hello to 2020-2021 Annual Catalog” where the Design Team is showcasing their favorites from the retiring catalogs or products in the new catalog! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I opted to use Retiring products for my card today. I have one item that is carrying over besides the card stock. I have to say, I chose the Honeybee Bundle. I am very surprised and a little sad that it did not carry over to the next catalog.
I used the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, which is also retiring, as the backdrop for my beehive. I love the colors and everyone knows that flowers and bees are a perfect pairing.
I stamped the beehive and sentiment as the main focal point of the card. But even with the addition of the little bee, I felt it needed something. So I added the Detailed Trio Punch to both of the upper corners of that layer. I love how the Mossy Meadow layer shows through.
When I added the two pieces of honeycomb, I decided to leave some of the hexagonal pieces in tact. I also felt that it needed “something” besides laying directly on the DSP. I came up with a plain piece of vellum card stock as the backdrop for the entire center layer. I like that.
My bow is a retiring product also. It is the Ruched Ribbon in Daffodil Delight. I intended originally for the bow to be just on the side of the card but in the normal direction. When I placed it there, it just did not work. I went to push it off and it turned slightly. It was an Ah Hah moment. I straightened it up and decided that the bow being sideways was just the right thing. I love when that happens.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for June 10th, with our theme “New 2020-2022 In Colors.” We can’t wait to show you the newest In Colors in the Stampin’ Up! color family. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
