Retiring Stamp Projects

These are the cards we made at my Retiring Stamp party. I’m still having a hard time parting with the In Colors. I’ve really enjoyed using them this year. Can you tell? I’ve used them in all of these cards too! For the first card, I used Wild Rose and Porcelain Prints dsp. I love…

Remember Cranberry Crisp?

With the 6 new In Colors every year, the only retired color I have ever kept is Cranberry Crisp. I still love it. I can’t part with it. I decided to use it with close to cocoa to make this quick birthday card. I don’t know if I’m going to part with this year’s In…

Fresh Celery

I loved this card by Sandy (hoefasar on SCS) so I tweaked it and made some of my own using Fresh Cuts. I love the color combo of certainly celery, wild wasabi and real red. I also decided to try stamping on the flower itself. I think it gives the flower a nice texture. For…

Fresh Cuts & Notes

Sympathy Card

I made this card for a friend whose father passed away last week. Although I tried to add some ribbon, I decided to keep this card simple. I used brocade blue, so safron and always artichoke. I stamped my new En Francois background stamp with brocade blue and then used my watercolor crayons to color…

Birthday Invite

I can hardly believe my little baby is turning one! For her birthday party I wanted to make a special invitation. Since I painted her room certainly celery and decorated with lavender lace and lovely lilac accents, I used the Flowers for You dsp which has those colors and butterflies too! I added some glitter…
