It is the time of year where we are saying goodbye to some of the most loved stamp sets and accessories. We all have our favorites, but we must make room for new products. So the next couple of weeks I am going to be sharing some of my favorites that we are saying goodbye to. This week I have taken two stamps sets and made two cards with each. One is a pretty quick and simple. The second is just a little “more” . Not over the top just a little something extra. Today I am starting this journey with the You’ve Got This stamp set.
You’ve Got This, 139575
I apologize for the photography! This looks a bit washed out here. It really is quite bright.
I used the retiring Peekaboo Peach as the base with Dapper Denim as the coordinating color. The ribbon is actually Night of Navy Crinkled Seam Binding , another retiring product that I love. Just to give it a little sparkle, I added a couple of the Glitter Enamel Dots.
I hope you will stop back by tomorrow to see the same colors and stamp set with just a little bit more. The supply list is at the bottom of the page.
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. New Subscribers who sign up before April 10, will receive April and May for half price. So 2 months for the price of 1. A great deal. Use my link HERE, and enter the code: SAVEFIFTY0418
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 somewhat of a Funky Fold in my card today. I received a similar card at the swap a couple of weeks ago and loved that it was different. I recreated it, but instead of folding, I cut away to make the same front result. And I changed the front decorations as well. I had in my mind a gentleman card with a tie. However, it ended up more like a female card with a scarf! I just never know what my end result will be! 🙂
Lovely Wishes, 145924
I will begin with the “V”. The card I received was 4 1/4 X 11, scored equally and then each end was cut so that when they overlapped the front it formed this V. I decided it would be easier to do a regular fold from that beginning cut, but cut out the V section. My method saves some cutaway card stock but requires a little measuring. So the other may be simpler???
I used the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot once in each direction to make the plaid design on the front section. I then used Tear & Tape to secure the bottom and the side. I also used the Tear & Tape to adhere the ribbon around the neck of my “sweater”.
I hope you like my funky fold card. It is a good design for pull out invitations or even adding a gift card on the bottom portion of the pull out card.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! This year’s hops are themed around some of our favorite songs. Today’s hop pulls inspiration from B.B. King’s song “Let the Good Times Roll.” How fun is that?! We’ve created projects that either feature images with wheels (cards, wagons, bikes) or celebrate good times. We are excited to share our projects with you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I debated on a Rockin’ Party or Nostalgia. And I ended with Nostalgia for my card. In the Spring I always think of where I grew up close to the country and mountains. This brings me to pick -up trucks and fields. So my choice was from the Country Living’ Stamp set. I know I am dating myself in this choice of an old pick-up truck !!
Country Living’ 141925
I stamped the truck with Early Espresso and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends. My sentiment is from Beautiful Day and I chose to give it an unexpected direction. I layered it on Pear Pizzaz and adhered it to the Calypso Coral layer. Using my paper snips, I trimmed the ends so it is flush with the layers. I like the different type of banner.
I appreciate you visiting and would love to see your thoughts. Is this a memory from your early years as well? As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.

You should have seen today’s card on Friday. I had some technical difficulties…….called “scheduling for the wrong day”! Duh. By the time I realized it had not posted, it was Friday afternoon. When I discovered it was set for Saturday instead of Friday, I just changed it to Monday. Sorry about that. I’ll blame it on being retired and not knowing what the actual date is!! So here is the delayed card. A quick and easy one that is great for leftover DSP.
Petal Palette Bundle, 145974
I love simple and this is definitely a simple card. Although you could step it up with some texture on the heart or the white background. Probably my favorite part of the card is the banner from the DSP. It is from the Bubbles and Fizz DSP from Sale-A-Bration. I hate that I did not notice it before SAB was over. But I found a strip laying on my cutting table and decided it was perfect for the card.
A simple background color change to anything with matching DSP and you have an entirely new card. That is why I love posting here for you to check out my ideas. Just use what you have laying around and it will be wonderful!
Thank you for visiting today! I very much appreciate you checking my posts and your sweet comments. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

Sometimes it is hard to find just the right feel for a more masculine card of any kind. The True Gentleman Suite in the Occasions Catalog is just perfect. It is great colors, some fun, and some classic DSP, and great sentiments. It is a winner all around. So here is my card.
Truly Tailored Bundle, 147752
I love the fun designs of the DSP in this suite of products. I am not usually into buttons, but for this I believe it really works. And that corduroy ribbon is awesome! It is soft and easy to work with. Plus it adds great texture to the card.
The DSP is where my color choices came from. The base of the card is Tranquil Tide with a narrow border of Chocolate Chip ( which is retiring). The cute sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla in Dapper Denim ink. I used the Tailored Tag Punch for the sentiment. To get the background for the tag, I adhered the punch layer to the Tranquil Tide and just paper snipped the straight edges. It was very simple and easy to do.
Thank you for stopping by today. Do not forget to go over the retiring lists I have added below. And if you do not have a demonstrator , I would love to send you the new catalog when it is available and help you to make your wish list. Also, demonstrators get to purchase ahead of everyone else!! So if you have ever considered joining, this would be a great time. And I would love to have you on my team. Contact me and let’s talk about it !!

A card for Spring is what I have today. Flowers, birds and a sweet sentiment. I am trying to use my designer series paper that will be retiring. Plus, I love the springtime feel of this Daisy Delight DSP.
Flying Home, 145929
I adore this stamp set, Flying Home, and am sad to see it retiring. I have used it several times, but this is the first time I have focused on the birds and nest. The sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage stamp set. I thought it went well with the Mama Bird and her babies.
As I mentioned in the beginning, I love this DSP but I also wanted to give the card some more texture. I looped Linen Thread under the bird’s nest and then a loop of Burlap Ribbon comes from beneath the sentiment. It gives some depth and texture and plays off of the nest. I am trying to expand on my normal cards a bit.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I greatly appreciate your visits and comments. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

Especially now that there is a Color Revamp there are more colors retiring. And please let me know if you need the upcoming catalog. I will be happy to send you one once they are available.
