I have found that while pulling the retiring products, I have found many that I just did not use often enough. Now that they are retiring, I am trying to get one more project from them.
I have used the Above The Clouds Bundle. Punches are my favorite and I hate to see another one going away. But, I was thrilled that the sentiment fit perfectly inside the hot air balloon! That was a Woohoo moment! I did not even remember this sentiment and found it to be a perfect one to share during this unusual time we find ourselves in. So a Win / Win today.
The background DSP is the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper. When I pulled out the folder with this paper, this side was showing through the front. I immediately thought of it as the clouds. Hopefully you see that as well. I paired it with Coastal Cabana, the color in the sheet of DSP , and Pacific Point.
The hot air balloon is stamped with Terracotta Tile Ink. I highlighted the decorations with Dark Daffodil Delight and Dark Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment itself is stamped with Pacific Point ink. I added a couple of the Holiday Rhinestones for a touch of decoration.

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 have recently been sharing with you products that are retiring. Today I have one of the new stamp sets and dies that are available as a Sneak Peek, and will be in the upcoming Annual Catalog. I cannot believe that the new Annual Catalog will debut in a month. Wow!!
The delicate decorations of the Seaside Spray background layer is cut using the Ornate Layers Dies. I found that the Stitched Rectangle Dies fit perfectly inside of that gorgeous lacy look die. I love when I find great pairings like this.
The stamped image was kept very clean and simple. I more wanted to showcase the die. The stamped image is from Ornate Styles stamp set. The simple Hello came from the Honey Bee stamp set, which is sadly retiring. I lightly colored the daisy with the Stampin’ Blends. I only colored the “highlights” of the petals and not the entire petal.
The flyer for the Ornate Sneak Peek is below the Retiring/Last Chance List. I also have the Digital Download flyer for the Share Sunshine Digital stamps. 100% of the proceeds from the Digital stamps goes to the global charities.
Thank you for stopping in today. Please return tomorrow for another new project.

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.

I have quite a lot of retiring Designer Series Paper leftover. So I will be using some of that in the coming month. Today’s project is a great way to use scraps of paper. Quite often I do not have enough to make a full layer on a card. This layout today only requires half of a layer.
I used two pieces of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. You could only use the bottom section of DSP and leave the top as card stock. But I love mixing two different patterns.
The stamp set I used is on the Retiring List as well. It is the I Say Hello set. It has great little sentiments that are “just right”!
The ribbon is a perfect match to the Magnolia DSP . However, it is a new ribbon. It is part of the Ornate Garden Suite. You can see that flyer further down on this post.
To make the cuts, I used the New Paper Trimmer. because the lines are marked well all the way down the trimmer. I placed the piece of DSP in the center of the trimmer. Place the top left corner of the DSP against the 3″ line and the top right corner against the 1 1/2″ line. Cut. This looks like you are almost cutting it in half, but it gives just enough of the angle I wanted. You can play with the measurements to get sharper angles.
Thank you very much for stopping in today. I hope you are anticipating the new Annual Catalog as much as I am. I will try to be showcasing retiring items in the next few weeks. Remember the Last Chance / Retiring List means what it is named. It is Last Chance. When the products are sold out, they are gone for good. So if you see anything you want go ahead and order now. Also please remember my Host Code if your order is below $150.00.

I am playing along with the GDP236 today. It is a Case The Designer Challenge, which is pretty much a Sketch Challenge. These are my favorite for a new layout to try.
Here is the card I am Casing.
I used the Positive Thoughts with the matching Nature’s Thoughts Dies. This is layered on the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. The sentiment is from the Honey Bee Stamp set and is punched using the 1″ Circle punch and the 1 1/8″ Scalloped Circle punch.
This is the Bird Ballad Designer Series paper. I have come to love the Petal Pink. I think of it as a brighter blush color. The main thing is, it pairs well with almost any color! So I did a variety of colors for my collage. I used Petal Pink, Pear Pizzaz and Smoky Slate to go with the Whisper White. I also used these same Ink colors. The definition on the feather is from laying the feather face down on the ink pad and randomly touching it to push it into the ink. I did not want to totally color it, just to give a little bit of darker color.
To be a bit different, I stamped the flower on the DSP. And yes, you have seen this DSP recently. I have been using DSP that I know is going to retire with the next Annual Catalog debuting soon.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have a good weekend and will return on Monday.

My card for today is in appreciation for us getting sunshine for the next several days! I had a few cards made since I’ve been isolating myself. But with the gorgeous weather, it inspired me to make one to celebrate the clear sky.
Before I get to today’s project, I want to make sure you have seen the Third, and final, release for Sale-A-Bration. We only have a few days left and this is the extra ones through the end.

Ok… Now on to today’s card. Are you thinking Bright
Sunshine?
You got the Bright part correct. I love bright colors and the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper fits the bill perfectly. I have had this “frame” from that striped piece in my brain for a while. I just could not get it to work out on paper. It still isn’t what I envisioned, but this is what I ended up with. After I had everything together, it hit me to miter the corners of my striped frame. Just a tad too late for that on this one.
The idea for the card was HOPEFULLY saying farewell to the umbrellas and rain boots for a while!!
I have used three different pieces of the Pleased As Punch DSP. The umbrella is punched from the umbrella piece using the Umbrella Builder Punch that is part of the Under My Umbrella Bundle. The Boots are stamped onto the flower piece that pairs with the Small Flower Punch in SAB and is going to carry over to the next catalog. And of course the border which is the multi stripe piece.
The umbrella punched out but the boots were stamped in Gray Granite on the DSP and then fussy cut using my Paper Snips. The sentiment is from the stamp set Under My Umbrella. It is stamped in Balmy Blue (just like the beautiful clear sky!). Those layers are the 1 3/8 scalloped circle punch and the 1 1/4 circle punch.
I almost went with the Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon, but decided the Gray Granite version played off of the gray outline of the rain boots. I tied a double bow using the 1/8″ Whisper White Sheer Ribbon.
Thank you for visiting today. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.
