Last Chance for retiring items!

Here’s a couple of quick 3″x3″ cards I made for some hard working co-workers.  I used the retiring set, Absolutely Fabulous.  It’s a good one, for sure.  The flower is from the Kind & Caring Thought stamp set - a Hostess Level 3 item.  On one of the cards I stamped the Polka Dot background in [...]

Using my “junk”

When I made my last card, I first stamped this piece, but I had stamped the bird image too far to the left to accommodate the ribbon, so I kept the “junk”, as one of my stamp club members calls it, to use later.  When I got a card order from a friend for some motivational [...]

I told you I love this layout!

I had the papers & ribbon left over from Stamp Club, so I decided to make another quick card, using a couple of new Hostess Sets from the new catalog, coming out July 1st.  How I love the Top Note die…it’s worth buying the Big Shot just to use it!  The layout is the same one [...]

June’s Stamp Club projects

We made covered notebooks, just like my last post.  Here’s another I made.  I think everyone liked them and there were several papers to choose from.  There was a lot of handwashing going on with all that gluing!  Sheesh, from the photos you wouldn’t think these are the front and back of the same notebook – [...]

A matching gift

On the last post I showed you the card, but here is a quick gift I made to go with it.  I bought these mini notebooks at the Dollar Store and covered one with paper from the same pack – Urban Garden.  Because I wrapped the sides and bottom of the front around to the [...]

Now that it’s retiring, I’m finally using it.

Can you believe I waited so long to get this beautiful paper?  I crack myself up.  I have so much paper it’s not even funny!  Ok, I needed a quick birthday card for a friend so used the layout as on this card.  I find the layout takes me the longest, so when I find [...]

Card Club swap

A group of ladies are getting together at a local Dessert Deli (It’s Ladies Night on Thursdays – buy one chocolate dessert, get one free!!) for a card swap.  The theme is baby girl, and I fell in love with this card and knew it would be perfect for the swap.  Please excuse the photo, [...]

From owl of us

I made a gift card holder for my boss from all of us.  I used the Large Owl from Hero Arts (which I was lucky enough to WIN), for the front, but the rest is from Stampin’ Up!, including the papers and inks.  I stamped the front image in brown Stazon ink and watercolored it with [...]

Soft and pretty paper

Here I am, using up more of my 6″ x 6″ stacks of paper.  Imagine how many different cards I could get out of this layout alone with 6 double-sided sheets of paper!  It makes me so happy to think about it.  Here I’m using the soft and pretty Tea Party paper.  I have to [...]

The “Last Chance” list is out!

The Last Chance List, formerly known as the Retiring List is out!  I think they changed the name because people would still ask if retiring items were still available after the last date to order had past…and they aren’t!  So, this is it folks, get what you want while you still can.
Some details which you [...]
