Retired List...

So you know that Stampin' Up! will be coming out with the fabulous new Idea Book and Catalog in August, but to make room for all the fun new things they are putting in, they have to let some of the old favorites go. I thought I would post the retired list here for you...

Retired List in Alpabetical order

Thanks!

Fathers Day Card...

For my dad of Fathers Day I made him this wallet card. I found the idea and instructions on Lorri's Blog. She has some really cute things. Anyway, my sister and I gave him new shoes so I didn't have gift cards to put in there, so I just made the little cards and then we all wrote a little message on the backs. I think it turned out really well. Enjoy!

Most of the stuff to make it came from other stuff I had from forever ago, so the only things SU! are the Close to Cocoa card stock and the Chocolate Chip Craft ink.

Color Inspiration Challenge #11

It's time for another color challenge. I am so glad that Kristina does these challenges, because I don't think I would have ever put these colors together. This is the inspiration she found from Ikea.

This is what I made...I really tried to focus on the stripes on the comforter. I really liked the way it turned out. Its hard to tell but I embossed the flower and the word fabulous, and then all the strips of yellow paper I cut and inked. :) Enjoy!

Stamps: Just B
Ink: So Saffron, Rose Red, Old Olive (Craft Ink)
Card stock: So Saffron, Rose Red, Whisper White and Grey from my stash :)
Accessories: Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Brads, Paper Piercer, Slit Punch, Clear Embossing Powder

Card Making Night...

I mentioned that I would post pictures of some of the cards we made at the card making night, so these are just a few of my favorites! :)

Another 'B' Card...

I know I know I haven't posted much that doesn't use this set, but I love it. I made a bunch of these cards for my cousins and friends birthdays that are over the next few months, so sorry if you see this before your birthday! :)

I had never seen a card folded like this until I went to this big card making night last month, it was a lot of fun and we made 24 cards in like 4 hours...there was some serious card making going on! :) Sometime I will post some pictures of the cards we made that night.

This is the first time I've done the stitching with the gel pen, and I like the way it turned out. Everything I used is Stampin' Up! except the green cardstock and I have had that for awhile so I am not even sure where I got it. Anyway, I had fun with the card so enjoy! :)

Stamps: Just B
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip and Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery
Accessories: 5/8 " Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Brads, White Signo Gel Pen, Crafters' Tool Kit and Dimensionals.

Double Pocket Card...

Yesterday, I think it was, I got my weekly email from Splitcoast and they had this fun tutorial. I didn't think about even trying it until I was looking through the gallery of the fun things others had made and there were so many cute things, that I wanted to try it too! :)

So I got my ideas from a couple different people, I really liked how this one used the bright colors of the East Coast Prep DSP and then I really liked how this one made the second tag to hold a gift card! Such a cute idea! :) So I combined both ideas and came up with this. It really was pretty quick to make, I will definitely make more of these! :) Enjoy!

Fun Colors...

Awhile back Kristina Werner had her color challenge and even though I didn't get my card done in time for the challenge, I still loved the colors and wanted to make something. I made this card for a contest on the Clip-it-Up website. I love love love that product...its definitely a fave. Anyway, the colors for the challenge were Orchid Opulence, Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Whisper White. I love this stamp set and it is retired...so sad, I know but it still one of my favorite sets. Its hard to tell from the picture, but on top of the purple flowers I put Iridescent Ice and Crystal Effects. Definitely much more sparkly in person.
