Grateful to Celebrate

While many of the products used on this card are retired, you could easily recreate this layout with current designer series paper, dies and a stamp set.

The Pumpkin Pie layer is embossed with the Timeworn Type folder and on top of that are a piece of Vellum Basics paper and Enjoy the Journey designer series paper. Next, a circle made with the Stylish Shapes dies, a punched Starburst and a Stitched Nested Labels die cut. The stamp set I used is called Celebrating You.

Supplies:

Celebrating You

Basic White, Smoky Slate, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie card stock

Chevron Hello

With very little time to create these days when we are in full spring farming mode, I am still sharing some cards made using retired products since I have quite a few that you have not seen yet. Hopefully soon I will get some down time, but I am not holding my breath just yet.

I used some Enjoy the Journey designer series paper in the background along with a Starburst punch circle, then added a few pieces of Coastal Cabana card stock and my sentiment layer along with some retired embellishments.

The hello comes from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and is stamped with Polished Pink ink.

Basic Hello

On this card, I used the same pattern of designer series paper in different directions and on different layers. The designer series paper is now retired, but you could duplicate this type of card with any pattern.

I also added a punch made with the Lasting Label punch and embossed with the Basics 3d folder along with some Vellum basics specialty paper behind the sentiment.

The sentiment comes from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set the die cut is made with the retired Stitched Nested Labels.

Radiating Thank You

Some of the items used on this card are no longer available, but the layout could be used many different ways.

The background designer series paper is called enjoy the Journey and I have used the Radiating Stitches dies and 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer paper to create the rectangle and circles.

The sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set and was punched out using the Rectangle Postage Punch.

April Stamp Club Projects

This month we used a lot of the Enjoy the Journey designer series paper for our projects (right now you can get this paper for $9.60, while supplies last!) 

Our layout was very simple, just focusing on the patterns and colors of the designer series paper...

The first card also uses two of the patterns from this paper collection along with some 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer paper, the Radiating Stitches dies and Layering Circles dies.

Our last card focuses on the Radiating Stitches dies, Basics 3D folder and the Something Fancy stamp set. We also used the 2022 - 2024 In Color Glimmer paper on this card as well as the retired Stitched Nested Labels dies.

We always enjoy guests or new members in our stamp club! Contact me for more information.
