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 love to travel and my trip for this year was canceled even before the virus hit. Today’s card is a nod to hoping we can get back to our normal routines soon. I cannot wait to plan my next trip.
This card is a quick and easy one. It would qualify as a #simplestamping card since it is simply paper and ink. I wanted a quick and not a lot of layers card. This one is somewhat of a collage, or my version of that, since I do not normally do that.
I used the Love What You Do background stamp behind the tower. The tower is from the Parisian Beauty stamp set, as are all of the other stamps. Everything except the background is stamped in Gray Granite Ink. The background is Pool Party Ink.
I love quick and easy cards and this is definitely one of those. Thank you for stopping in today. Hopefully the weather and the virus doesn’t touch you this weekend.

I am sharing another project with the Tropical Oasis suite of products! I do love this suite and haven’t shared it until yesterday’s card. So here is another one.
I used most of the suite products on this card. The gorgeous Coastal Weave Embossing Folder sort of fights with the beautiful Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper! Actually they are wonderful together but it is hard to say who is the prettiest.
The Braided Burlap Trim is another great part of this suite. It really grounds the sentiment and flowers. I stamped some of the leaves and flowers onto the Whisper White layer. But I also stamped some on scrap paper to die cut. I added the two flowers I layered together to overhang the top layer. And finished them with the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will come back on Monday for another new project. I hope you can stay safe and enjoy crafting during these difficult days.

This is my first time playing with the Timeless Tulips Bundle. I adore the shading that is built into the stamps. It makes any stamping look very professional.
The stamps I have used are all included in the stamp set. I used all of the flowers and only one of the stems and leaves. I was trying to keep it simple.
The flowers are stamped using Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. The leaves and stems are stamped in Old Olive. The large flower is stamped onto the white layer, and additionally on a scrap that is punched out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I like to stamp it so that you can see it underneath if it is not exactly lined up.
I stamped the sentiment onto Highland Heather card stock using Gorgeous Grape Ink. The flower with the sentiment is Highland Heather so it is a tad lighter. And I got to use the Label Me Lovely Punch! I love the taller size. This one is different from any of the other punches in that it is taller. I didn’t necessarily need the height here, but it fits what I intended.
To finish off the card I wrapped the Tri Color Ribbon (shades of our gorgeous purples) around the layer. I added the sentiment a bit to the left with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a few pearls around just for some bling!
Thank you for stopping in. I will be back before too long. Please continue prayers for a speedy recovery.

Before I share my card, I want to give you a heads up. I will have three cards to share this week. They are the cards I made with my Stamp Club on Sunday. But after these I will absent for a couple of weeks. I am having a minor surgery this week. So Prayers are appreciated!!! The downside is that my stamping room is in the basement and I will not be able to handle the steps immediately. Please don’t give up on me, I will return before you really miss me!
Now for a Bold card today.
I really love the Dressed To Impress Suite of products! I am not a Bold Lipstick sort of person, but I do really Love the Idea of the sentiment!. Does that make sense?
I paired these stamps with the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper which is part of the suite. I intended to use the opposite side that is Lovely Lipstick with white outlines of lipstick cases. That was the plan right up until I flipped it over to add adhesive and saw the flowers. I had layed it on top of the other layers and it just seemed a much better fit. I really like the Scripty Embossing Folder showing behind the strip of DSP.
I cut the image layers using the fabulous Stitched So Sweetly Dies. They are awesome! You get six shapes like I used and four sentiment shapes. I really hope these carry over to the next catalog. They are so versatile.
Thank you for stopping in today. I will go ahead and schedule the other posts for Wednesday and Friday. Then I will be absent for a bit. I am sure I will get restless and have to get down to my craft room sooner rather than later!!

I have decided to carry on with the Ladybug cards. I just adore this cute stamp set. Yesterday’s card was all from the stamp set and matching Ladybug Dies. You can see that card HERE if you missed yesterday, or go to the gallery at the top of the page. Today I added a few other Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Mini Catalog items.
The basics of the card are the same as yesterday just minus the large flower. This little ladybug brought her own flower and I added one as well. This flower is from the Small Bloom Punch that is Free with a $100.00 order in SAB. (This punch is going to carry over to the next catalog, so it is extra special to get it free!) I punched the flower with Mango Melody card stock. I also colored a Basic Pearl with Real Red Dark Stampin’ Blend Marker for the center of the flower.
I colored a second item with the Stampin’ Blend Marker on this card as well. Have you noticed what it is? Besides the ladybug! If you guessed the ribbon, then you are correct. The ribbon is the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in Whisper White. I barely touched the Light Call Me Clover Stampin’ Blend to the ribbon and it colored in a snap! It was pretty amazing. Realizing I can have any color ribbon I want and in a light or darker shade is super amazing!! I believe I need to stock up on this ribbon. It is in the Occasions Mini Catalog.
The last new item I used is the Label Me Fancy Punch. The sentiment is cut out using it. I love the shape it gives.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I will have another new project for you tomorrow.
