As I am pulling the retiring stamp sets, I have fond memories of so many. So as I said on Monday, I am going to showcase a few of my favorites. Today and tomorrow I will be using the same stamp set . It is a different set from earlier in the week, but these two cards are similar in layers and shape. This set is perfect for the quick Random Act of Kindness card or just a cute card.
Watts of Occasions, 143867
A few layers of beautiful card stock and a little Stampin’ Blends, and finished! What a deal!! I love the simplicity but shine this has. I layered Rich Razzleberry card stock with Gold Foil card stock. I added a layer of the Painted With Love DSP from the Occasions Catalog. The heart in the light bulb mimics the hearts on the DSP. The reflection you see in the photo is from the gold foil hearts. It is very hard to photograph. However, it is quick and easy. You could make quite a few of these in just a short time.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Tomorrow’s card will be using this same stamp set. I hope you will come back to check it out. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. clicking on any item will take you directly to my online store.
Measurements:
Card base of Rich Razzleberry is 8 X 4, folded in half
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.
For the second card using the You’ve Got This stamp set, I used almost the same products plus some DSP. I added the Delightful Daisy DSP, another favorite. It works perfectly with both the Peekaboo Peach, and Night of Navy (yesterday was Dapper Denim).
You’ve Got This, 139575
When I use DSP, I like to put a layer between it and the base layer. I don’t want it to fade into the base. Instead of Dapper Denim, I went with Night of Navy due to the little pieces of it in the floral DSP. Other than that, I used the same inks and ribbon. I left off the glitter dots from yesterday. I think the bow is more than enough for the decoration. As I said yesterday, this ribbon is a dream to work with. My bling for this card is that I went over the entire flower with Clear Wink of Stella. In person it adds quite a bit of shimmer.
I hope you like today’s card. It has more layers and a bit different layout. I hope I have I have given you pause in considering some of these retiring items. Please place your orders soon to insure that you get the items you want. You can click on any of the items and be taken directly to my online store, or click on the Shop button at the top of the page.
Thank you for stopping by today. Tomorrow I will be showcasing a different stamp set. So please check it out.

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.

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 !!

I am sharing with you today the card that I made for a card swap with other demonstrators over the weekend. I received a similar card several years ago in a different swap and have used variations of it several times. I love it and I hope you will see the versatility of it as well.
Beautiful Bouquet, 143666
This stamp set has such gorgeous and sweet sentiments. The entire stamp set is wonderful, from the different fonts of the sentiments, the variety of flowers, and of course…..the matching framelits! It is definitely a keeper. The sentiment I used here is my favorite though. Who would not feel extra special receiving a card with that sweet thought on the front.
I went a little over my norm in terms of the amount of layers and embellishments. The embossed background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. It is a great folder in that the impression is great on either side. The splatter on the Wild Wasabi layer is from Touches of Texture stamp set. I used it again beneath the flowers on the top layer. The edge of the white layer is the Ticket Tear Border Punch. This is an awesome punch that I need to use more often. The ribbon is from the Occasions Catalog and is the Whisper White Organza Ribbon. And of course the elegant pearls at the bottom just finish it off.
Since this is a CASE card, I would love to see a CASE that you do of my card! I think that would be so fun. If you will send them to me, I will add them to a post.
Thank you for visiting today and I hope you have a good week ahead. The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the page.
