Happy Celebrations

Today’s post is another in my Just Retired card class.  This card features the now retired Happy Celebrations  Stampin Up stamp set and the retired Colored Theory DSP Paper Stack. I simply just stamped the HAPPY and then hand cut the letters and placed them on a strip of the DSP.  I added another sentiment and randomly punched stars for a masculine birthday card.

Shine Bright Like a Diamond

 I had been wanting to use the now retired Naturally Eclectic DSP from Stampin Up but never got around to it until now.  I paired it with the now retired Your Priceless stamp set.  The diamond was cut using the Eclectic Layers Thinlits #143774.  I loved how this turned out and went to town using up the other patterns in the Naturally Eclectic DSP so stay tuned.

Simple Birthday

 I had a few scrap pieces of the the now retired True Gentleman DSP from Stampin Up laying around so I used the Tailored Tag #145667 to punch them out and just placed them on a very vanilla card base.  I added the Happy Birthday sentiment cut from the Happy Birthday Thinlit #143700 and I had a quick and easy birthday card.

From the Petal Palette

  Cammie created this sweet card using the Petal Palette #145788 stamp set from Stampin Up. She added a branch from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits #143751 and the heart nest was cut from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits #141489.

Pretty Pink Flamingo

 This post is a very stunning design that Cammie made using the Fabulous Flamingo #143758 Stampin Up stamp set and the direct to paper inking technique.  Cammie added even more interest by adding the delicate Flourish from the Flourish Thinlits #141478.  This sassy and yet classy flamingo will show off your stamping skills when you carefully layer all three stamps to create a flamingo worthy of every climate!

Bubble with Happiness

  For today’s post I added some serious pop by creating the bubbly background using the Bubble Over #145868 stamp set from Stampin Up. I created the bottle by stamping the image from the Bubble Over set and then cut out using the coordinating Bottles and Bubbles #145663 Framelits.  I added the sentiment by cutting the word from the Celebrate You #146840 Thinlits and the image from the Bubble Over stamp set.

Best Dad Ever

 Happy Father’s Day.  Today’s card is my favorite one I created in my masculine workshop class and my favorite card using the Stampin Up Apron of Love #145835 stamp set and the coordinating Apron Builder Framelit #145661.  The checkerboard background was done using the Stitched Shapes Framelits #145372 and is the perfect setting for the BBQ card.
