Senior Years

I put together a few retirement cards using the Senior Years stamp set recently and used my Stampin' Blends to color in the images.

Each one has some die cuts made with the Stitched So Sweetly dies and I also used some In Color designer series paper 2020 - 2022 and some Paper Blooms designer series paper (AB 2021) in the backgrounds.

First Steps

Each year when I decide to get rid of some retired stamp sets, I tend to usually hang on to the baby themed ones and keep using them for quite a while.  This stamp set is one that is retired, but I find I used it quite often.  

I made both boy and girl cards using the First Steps stamp set and In Color designer series paper and ribbon.  The doilies are also retired but I must have purchased quite a few before that happened!  I also added a few enamel dots for accents.

Still playing with the Jar of Flowers bundle...

These cards, which I left sentiment free for now, all use the 2020-2022 In Color designer series paper  stack and the In Good Taste designer series paper.

The flowers were stamped with Memento Black ink and colored in with Stampin' Write markers before I cut them out with a paper snips.
