One of my favorite sets is retiring this year so I had to feature one of the stamps on a summer card. I chose the bee from Nature Walk because it goes so well with the beehive embossing folder. What else is retiring on this card?
More Mustard card stock
Word Play stamp set
Nature Walk stamp set
I could see this card being a great graduation card. What would you use it for?
One of my dreams got accomplished today. I walked in a 5k race our local hospital sponsors each memorial day weekend and bettered my time from last year. Yeah for a goal accomplished.
Red and Blue are colors that will always look good together. I made this card to look similar to a swap I received at the regional in St. Louis. But, I knew I needed to use one of the colors of retiring card stock I seemed to have stockpiled. Can you guess what retiring color I used?
Yes, Riding Hood Red. How did I decide what color to put with Riding Hood Red? I checked out my Designer paper and found a great blue and white checked design in the World's Greatest DSP pack. So, Island Indigo was my choice and I really like how it looks.
I always need a great looking manly card and have the perfect event to use the card coming up this afternoon. The retirement of a man that has devoted a lot of time and effort to our local Salvation Army. What would you use this card for?
What do you think of when you think of Summer? Me, I think of bugs! I looked at the Spring Sampler stamp set and found these cute bug stamps. Another simple card that was featured in my Summer card stamp class. This cute stamp set is featured in the Spring catalog which will end on May 31st. What is your favorite part of summer?
Don't just love this polka dotted ribbon? My friend Dana made a card similar to this for a swap at the Jubilant Butterflies meeting a couple of months ago. How simple is this card to make. Can you identify the items that will be retiring on June 3rd?
1. All the polka dotted ribbons
2. The sayings from Word Play
3. The River Rock card stock
When I recently took inventory of my card stock I noticed that I had gobs of a white card stock that has been gone for quite a while. Do you see it on this card? Yup, it is Confetti White! I can't imagine why I have so much of this card stock left over, but we used a lot of it in my Fill Your Card box with Summer cards class.
I was trying to figure out how to make this card using items that will be staying. Look for another card in the future that is a remake of this card. What would you use to revamp this card and make it current?
What do you think of when the word summer is mentioned? I think of sun, flowers, 4th of July, bright colors, and vacations. Today is Fill Your Card Box for summer class and this is one of the cards that I created. Why did I choose this card?
1. Texture on each panel
2. Punches
3. Simple to make
My husband Sam is one of my critics. When he looked at my first version he said it needed something. So, I thought about the card and how to kick it up a notch and added the silver stars, and the texture on each panel. And I think it worked.
The other purpose of this card class is to feature items that are retiring. The Bravo Burgundy, and Not Quite Navy colors are retiring.
What do you think of when you think of summer? Bugs, that's what I think of. So, I chose the cute little bugs featured in the Spring Sampler stamp set featured in the Spring Catalog that will soon be retiring. They are just the right size for the 1 inch punch.
The banners are made from the paper packs that will be retiring from the big catalog on June 3rd. This card just made me happy looking at it, and I hope it does you too.
