Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Posies - Retiring!

Hi and welcome crafty friends!  It's time again for our Stamping Symphony Blog Hop and this month our theme is retiring products.  It's sad to say goodbye to some of our favourites, but the good news is, you pick up these products at a reduced price at my online store!

One of my most loved stamp set is Gorgeous Posies.  No matter what colours I use, the end result is always fabulous!  I wanted an elegant look for this card, thus chose Smokey Slate & Basic Gray.  By the way....it's a quick & easy card to make!

Did you notice the 5 retiring products on my card?  I'm especially sad to see the Stitched Shapes won't be in the upcoming catalogue.  Also retiring - the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder.  Sooooo pretty!  

I should mention, the fussy cutting was a breeze!

GORGEOUS POSIES CLING STAMP SET  #153289

I left lots of space for a heartfelt message.  A simple flower is all that's needed.

The Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, and my all time fave, the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack are discounted and still available in the Last Chance Sale!  Yay!  Pssst.....get them soon before they're gone forever!

My card is on it's way to a special friend - I know she'll love the card!

Hello

Each day I'm seeing more and more buds on trees and life springing from gardens.  I love spring! To me it represents new beginnings.

My card today is a 'Hello' to spring.  I love the Pool Party cardstock I used for the base of the card and the layer.  It's such a fresh, pretty colour!  For the rest of the card, I die cut the images. Stampin' Up! dies are gorgeous!!  Sadly, the dies I used are all on the retiring list, but still available as of the last time I checked.  Read more about the dies in my Product List further down in this post.

Isn't the little bird sweet!  

Did you notice - no stamping on the card front.  I ran my dies through the Big Shot, adhered them, and added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

This is the Big Shot - a card makers best friend.  I've had mine for a good five years.  In that time, I've replaced my toaster a few times and my kettle once.  However, my Big Shot, which is used more often than those two appliances, has never failed.  And I'm confident it won't - it is built to last.  Worth every penny!

  This is the product to add to your Starter Kit, and here's why: no shipping fee or tax!

  The Big Shot is $136, and with the Starter Kit, you get to choose up to $165 in products.  Buy the Big Shot, and you still have $29 to spend and again, no shipping fee or tax.  You have nothing to lose, and you never have to sell.  Just enjoy making beautiful cards with your Big Shot.

 * Product List *

Cardstock - Pool Party, Whisper White

Embellishments: Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Adhesive: Fine Tip Glue Pen

Dies:

Now for the broken record part...LOL....these dies are retiring and once the stock is depleted they will be gone forever. Some catalogue items have already sold out.  Use my 'Shop Now' button at the top right of this page to place your order today.

Thank you for stopping by!

Gorgeous Grunge Times Two

Yesterday I posted my Top 9 retiring Stampin' Up! products, and today I have two cards to show you featuring the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge, which I used in the background of both cards.

In addition to Gorgeous Grunge, I've used another retiring stamp set & punch called Petite Petals. Check out the different images on the flowers - so pretty! The sentiment is also from a retiring set - Special Reason. I love the simplicity of this card - so pretty!

Card #2 -  A layer of Whisper White, and base of Basic Black cardstock.  Just a wee pop of Flirty Flamingo ink on the flower.  The punches for the flower and sentiment are Pansy and Banner Triple.  I used a sentiment from the retiring set Falling for You,  I love love love the fonts in that set!  

There you have it - two beautiful cards that are quick and easy to make!  

* Reminder *

 Retiring products will be available until May 31, and only while supplies last,  To order any of the products I used, click on the 'Shop Now' icon on the left of my blog.
