Let’s say goodbye Cheerful Basket and more

Posted on by

Today’s cards all have something in common. Not only do they have adorable little animals in the set, but they are also on the Last Chance List. The Last Chance List…once a year products are retired from the Annual Catalog. Why is that important? Because these items are only available while supplies last or until May 1st.

I’m going to start todays cards with the Cheerful Basket (158674) stamp set

This stamp set does have coordinating dies and also comes in a bundle for savings. This set not only has fun this fun basket but also has lots of images to fill the basket with along with all occasion sentiments too. This first card is a fun fold that will fold flat for mailing.

And this next card uses the same set and the sweet little kitten image.

The Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper (Host 159161) has been used for both these cards. This next card uses the bright and cheerful Polished Pink and Pale Papaya to create this lovely friendship card. The Hello Beautiful (158041)

stamp set was used and the Beautiful Shapes Dies (158046) were used to cut out the sentiments.

And now for some Dies that are on the last chance list – great on their own. This next card uses a lovely reinker technique to create the backdrop for the Amazing Thanks Dies (157816).

And today’s final card uses the Delicate Edges Dies (159180) along with our Painted Labels Dies (151605) and Peaceful Moments (151595) stamp set

Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a Tutorial with you using a fun fold.

Saying Goodbye to Wisteria Wishes and more

Posted on by

One of the things that I was amazed by when I first moved to Georgia years ago was the Wisteria hanging from the pine trees along the road. That an kudzu seemed to be everywhere as I drove around the area. So when I saw the Wisteria Wishes (159434) stamp set. Done in Pool Party and Highland Heather.

It also pulls in Gorgeous Grape that mats the sentiment and image along with the lovely Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (155615) and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130). And this next card also uses the Highland Heather to create this lovely card

using the Last Chance List stamp set Uniquely Artistic (158935) and the Pastel Pearls (154571). Next is the Dragonfly Garden (154411) with it’s coordinating Dragonflies Punch (154240)

And my final card I wanted to share with you is the lovely stamp set Honeybee Home (157943) and the coordinating Honeybee Bloom Dies (157952)

The Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563), Scalloped Contour Dies (155560), and Hive 3D Embossing Folder (157955) add interest and texture to this card.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more projects with you using sets from the Last Chance List.

Let’s say good bye to Happiness Bounds & Cup of Tea

Posted on by

The Last Chance list goes Live tomorrow and so I thought today I’d share a couple of my favorite sets that are part of that list.

The Happiness Abounds (159238) stamp set along with products from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (158822) and 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper (159246) were used on these first 2 cards.

Thist first card was stamped in So Saffron and Blushing Bride was used to create a soft splatter look in the background. In addition the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (159185)

And I love the way that this set’s line image was used in this monochromatic Parakeet Party card. The fun little Ombre 2022 In Color Matte Dots (159186) add a bit more interest. If you haven’t seen this Ombre look of this 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper (159246) you won’t be disappointed it is beautiful.

Team up the Happiness Abounds Bundle (158824) with the Cup of Tea Bundle (158667) and you’ve got this sweet little card dine in Blushing Bride and So Saffron two of our retiring colors.

And last but not least this fun little thank you card done in Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Soft Succulent using the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560).

The Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper (158659) adds a bit more color and interest with it’s fun pattern.
