Retiring Products

Over the next couple of weeks I am going to be showcasing some of my favourite Retiring Products.
These will only be available while supplies last, so if you do have a favourite, check out the list on my website.

These are similar, colours used are Midnight Muse (retiring colour) and Smoky Slate.  The stamp set is Clockworks, a really useful set for masculine cards.  The sentiments are from Perfectly Penned and Delightful Dozen.  Do you like how I have changed the basic card colours around?  They give a slightly different effect.  Not sure which I like best, I think the grey card.

Continuing the grey theme, using Gorgeous Grunge and fortunately this is still in the annual catalogue because I love it!  The sentiment is from Perfect Pennants which was in the 2014 Occasional Catalogue but it has gone over  to the new Annual Catalogue. Yippee.  The only retiring product on this card are the silver stars!  Now I could have used the old star punch, but I didn't - I used a new star punch which will be available in a set of 3 Itty Bitty Accents punches on July1st!
It is the Silver Glimmer paper that is retiring, to be replaced by a NEW Glimmer Paper, that matches with the beautiful silver ribbon that was in the last 2 Occasional catalogues.

To get your mitts on any of these products, head over to my store or click on the product below.  For every online order I will send you a handmade card as a special   Thank You from me!  Don't forget to use the Hostess Code!  This months is EJAAN9FQ.

Scrap DSP

We all have bits of beautiful, colourful scrap paper lying around, that we just might need one day, or is just too pretty to throw away.
Stampin' Up! changes its Designer Series Paper every year.  The new catalogue is just around the corner, so we know there is going to be more beautiful designs that we MUST have.  So, what to do with the old paper?
Ever since this morning when I uploaded the New Weekly Deals, I have been playing in my craft room.  I have a few pieces of Eastern Elegance and some coordinating card stock...

I love the depth of colour that Crushed Curry has.  It is probably my favourite yellow. It is part of the Regals Collection.

Eastern Elegance DSP, Four You

This card was alright, but then added to a Coastal Cabana base card and it took it up another notch.  It is just rolled up pieces of paper, I used 2" long by 11/2" wide and the trusty Tombow to glue them together.

Bring on the Cake, bird punch

The top photo shows how I measured the distances, these scraps of paper were 1cm wide.  Don't you love it when I switch from inches to centimetres! I work in both.  The sentiment is from Four You and the flames are made using the bird punch.  I have added markings with white chalk marker.
