Inspiring Iris Mother's Day Cards

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

We are in for a another beautiful day and temps close to 80!

It will be short lived though as we have rain coming tomorrow & Thursday then we cool back down. One day we will get to those warmer temps and stay!

Today I am sharing 2 cards made with the Inspiring Iris stamp set. Of course, it is retired but 99% of my stamp collection is but that will not stop me from inking it up!

Card Details:

Stamps: Inspiring Iris (retired), Heartfelt Hello's (retired SAB 2024)

Ink: Memento Black, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Simply Marbleous (retired SAB 2022)

Accessories: Shades of Green Hexagons, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Card Details:

I love the carnations in this stamp set as it reminds me of my days in high school. Every Valentine's Day we could purchase a carnation and have it secretly sent to a friend or a guy friend. They came in a variety of colors, too! They always smelled so good!

Inspiring Iris

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing a card that I made recently as I was doing a major purge in my stamp room. I came across this retired set called Inspiring Iris. I don't think that I used this set much. I keep all my 6x6 papers in clear bins right in front of me at my stamp table so I went thru it and found the Simply Marbleous DSP which is also retired. I paired my image with some Highland Heather marbled paper...

Card Details:

Stamps: Inspiring Iris (retired 2021)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Memento Black

Cardstock: Highland Heather, Basic White, Simply Marbleous DSP (retired SAB 2022)

Accessories: Textured Notes Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I wasn't too sure on the DSP I used on this but it turned out to be very pretty!

I wanted to add some Purple Shimmer Gems but I left it plain.

Thankfully this is one stamp set I did not part with!

Inspiring Iris Sympathy

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today the new 2021-2022 Stampin Up Annual Catalog went live and it has been a busy morning! I submitted 3 orders around 3am then headed back to bed for a few more Zzzzz's! I almost did not want to get back up but since the sun was shining I thought i'd better get moving!

Today I am sharing another card from last Friday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. This one uses the now retired Inspiring Iris set.

I have not done this stamp set much justice in the time it was available but I will continue to use it in my stamp room regardless of it being retired.

I try to keep the girls stocked up on all occasion cards during the year and then once the holidays come we transition over to those Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas cards. We've been on a roll with our get togethers so they should have a good supply of all occasion cards now!

Card Details:

Stamps: Inspiring Iris (retired)

Ink: Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Highland Heather, Purple Posy (retired), Basic White, Highland Heather DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tufted 3D EF (retired), Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Butterfly Gems (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Miss Emily just adored those Butterfly Gems!

I think it was the 1st time we ever used them but they were a nice change to use on this sympathy card!
