Magnolia HB

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

Hope your having a crafty week!

I have been trying to get crafty alittle bit each day when time allows.

Today's card uses some of the Magnolia Lane DSP that has been long retired. Birthday cards are another great seller for me so I made this one a birthday card.

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Thoughts (retired Million Dollar Achiever Set)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Basic White, Magnolia Lane DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Dainty Diamonds 3D EF (retired), Low Profile Mossy Meadow Sparkle Dots (retired Online Exclusives), Mossy Meadow Satin Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card uses just a few pieces of scrap DSP that was left in the package. 

I love how this one turned out!

Painted Season's Sympathy

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have another card to share from last Saturday's Stamp Day w Friends get together. 

I whipped up a Sympathy card using a variety of Stampin Up! products...

I love the pretty prints & patterns in this retired Painted Season's DSP. This was available back in 2019 during SaleABration and I am still trying to use it up whenever possible. The coordinating stamp set, Painted Season's also has the Four Season's Framelits as well. I hate when Stampin Up! brings out these amazing stamp sets with dies or punches and they retired them so quickly! 

As long as it's still in my stash...I will continue to use it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (retired), Peaceful Moments

Ink: Grapefruit Grove (retired), Call Me Clover (retired), Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Grapefruit Grove (retired), Call Me Clover (retired), Whisper White, Painted Season's DSP (retired)

Accessories: Four Season's Framelits (retired), Tailored Tag Punch, Dainty Diamonds EF (retired), Call Me Clover Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Grapefruit Grove Enamel Dots (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

1st Card Order of 2021

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I have a busy day ahead working on an order for my card lady!

Here is the 1st pack of cards I made for her January birthdays...

I'm always on the look out for a Happy Birthday stamp with a cool font and this one comes from the A Grand Kid stamp set which is loaded with some nice sentiments! 

I love using the Stitched Nested Dies and for this card I used a piece of the Playing With Patterns DSP and diecut a shape out. I then cut it in half and adhered it to my Coastal Cabana cardstock making sure that the points almost touch. I did this on the card I shared yesterday here on my blog. I love the interesting look it gives! It reminds me of a belt that ties together where it meets.

Then I added the Bumble Bee bow with a Glue Dot.

My Coastal Cabana cardstock was embossed with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and lastly I added some rhinestones. My saying panel is popped up with Dimensionals.

Card Details:

Stamps: A Grand Kid

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Playing With Patterns DSP

Accessories: Stitched Nested Dies, Dainty Diamonds 3D EF, Oval Layering Framelits, Bumble Bee Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were really fun to make and I do hope my card lady will like them!

So, did you all read about the Whisper White cardstock being retired?

Yes, it is true! The manufacturer that made it went out of business so Stampin Up! had to find another paper mill to make a nice white cardstock. I'm happy to say that now it is available and it's now called Basic White. I have not ordered any yet as I have quite a few packs of Whisper White on hand. They say it's just as nice as Whisper White but it will be awhile until I can actually say.

If I know Stampin Up!, it will be just as amazing as Whisper White!
