I've said it before and I will say it again ... With the LAST CHANCE LIST out, you will find that the papers and inks go fastest.
I thought that I should feature some the gorgeous designer papers that are retiring.
One day (or probably more like 2 or 3 days) I played with the HUES OF HAPPINESS Designer Paper.
It coordinates with the HAPPINESS ABOUNDS stamp set and dies
I remember when this paper first came out I pegged it as the paper that would be the most popular. I surly don't think that I was wrong.
Here are some of the cards that I made with the papers that I had left...
On this first card I brought out my (retired) BIRCH background stamp for that front piece. This card is based directly on the card that you seen on the front of the current Annual Catalog, but I was all out of the patterned paper that they used.
Card #2 I pulled out the gold rings that I had left over from a previous catalog The designer paper was embossed with the PAINTED TEXTURE Embossing Folder. Amazing how that simple embossing gives your card so much texture.
The meeting was cut out from the STYLISH SHAPES DIES.
GOOD NEWS... the PAINTED TEXTURE embossing folder and the BRASS BUTTERFLIES are staying, and will be in the new annual catalog for an entire year! I love these because they are flat and don't add bulk to you card they just add so much. Inspired by Tracy
Card #3 just lets the designer paper do the work for you. Inspired by Tracy
I love a good slim lime card - and this one doesn't disappoint. However I am disappointed that my "BIRTHDAY" is crooked. The stamp set used is called BIGGEST WISH. Inspired by France Martin
This next card is one I set out for the ladies on Tuesday. I didn't have too many of the flowers left so I set this one out as an extra, but I sure do love it. The Bermuda Bay color is retiring, but the embossing folder and the dies (Scalloped Contours & Natural Prints) are in the new catalog. Inspired by Sharni Haines
The SPLIT CARD (2 pack) dies and the BEAUTIFUL SHAPES Dies both used on this card and they are both on the LAST CHANCE LIST, as well as the colors MINT MACARON and SOF SUCCULENT. The GO TOGREETINGS Stamp Set will be found in the new catalog as well.
I know that not everyone is fortunate enough to still have their mom to celebrate Mother's Day with, and I am one of those. I certainly do miss her, but I know that I will see her again one day. I still decided to put this card out (inspired by Stampers World) I figure it is just as important to send out Mother's Day cards to my daughter and my daughter-in-laws.
The BRICK & MORTAR Embossing Folder is on the LAST CHANCE LIST and the doilies have been retired for a while. So glad that I had some on hand to use for this card
The look achieved on the brick portion is by inking up the embossing folder with white craft ink and then run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
"Happy Mother's Day" comes from DAFFODIL DAYDREAMS which is also on the LAST CHANCE List.
