We made this card last night at my Fun Folds Class. It’s a little hard to see it in the photo but the card is 3 dimensional, so it looks as though you’re looking out the window and seeing the view in the distance.
The images are from the Happy Home stamp set which coordinates and can be purchased in a bundle with the Hearth & Home Thinlits for a 15% savings. I added a quick wash of color in the sky and grass with my Aqua Painter.
Things have been crazy in my Stampin’ Studio lately as I’m in the midst of a studio redo. That’s right, my studio is getting a face lift. So while many things are in piles and boxes and bags as I strip wall paper border and paint and more creating has been a bit of a struggle. On Friday, Gail, one of my Stampin’ Express Team members asked if I could send her a photo of a card she made for me. I was able to locate the card I had tucked away for the time being and took a picture for her and thought you’d love to see it too.
At our Stampin’ Sisters retreat two weeks ago and Gail’s and 4 other wonderful women gave me a gift tucked inside this beautiful card Gail made. She used the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-a-bration item) and the Number of Years stamp set and coordinating Large Number Framelits to create this stunning card celebrating the 10th year of our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat.
Every year shortly before the new Annual Catalog begins Stampin’ Up! posts a list of products that will be retiring. One thing that we know for sure will retire every year are the In Colors that came out two years ago. You see, the In Colors are just that: they are colors that are on trend at the time, so they are available for just two years then they are retired and new ones come out. The past few years the Retiring In Colors have sold out on the first day the list is announced. Well guess what? You can get a jump on them right now. I’ve put together a picture of the out going colors so you can stock up on Ink Refills, Card Stock, Designer Series Paper Stacks, Ink Pads, Ribbons, Markers and more before they’re gone.
The out going colors are:
Blackberry Bliss
Lost Lagoon
Hello Honey
Tangelo Twist
Mossy Meadow
If you order them now before Sale-a-bration ends and your order is $50 or more, you get to choose a FREE Sale-a-bration item too!
