Hello Friend

 Today’s card was one of the cards I made for a workshop of retiring products.  I stamped and colored the image from the now retired Wood Words stamp set from Stampin Up.  I then textured the panel panel with the Wood Grain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I added a strip of layered cardstock and 2 scallop edge pieces cut from the Be Mine Stitched Dies.  The rooster was stamped using the Wood Words stamp set and then cut with the coordinating Wood Crate dies. The rooster was placed on a Stitched Shapes #145372 circle. I finished by adding a multi layered bow from the linen thread.

Christmas in July 2019 #2

 Today’s post is from Cammie’s Christmas in July collection and features the retired Peace and Noel stamp set from Stampin Up. The sentiment is embossed in gold on a Stitched Shape #152323 Die piece and then placed on top of a banner cut from the Lakeside Dies #146351. The focal layer is placed on a gold foil layer.

Wood Words

 I don’t know what took me so long to use the cute images from the now retired Wood Words stamp set and coordinating Wood Crated dies.  The background DSP is from the now retired Nature’s Poem DSP from Stampin Up.  Super easy and sweet card!

Cut out to be friends

 The bright DSP collection from Stampin Up is the perfect combination to add the Stitched Rectangle # 148551 stamped with the scissor image from the Crafting Forever #151231 Stampin Up stamp set.  The sentiment was stamped on a stitched Shapes circle #152323 and then a image from the Geared Up Garage #148590 stamp set.  To add more texture Cammie added ribbon and twine behind the stamped sentiment piece.

Sheltering Tree

 The Stampin Up Sheltering Tree retired stamp sets was one of my favorite sets. I made a simple card by stamping the image on a Stitched Shapes #152323 die cut image.  The sentiment is from the retired Crazy About You stamp set and the metallic heart was punched using the Owl Punch.

Lasting Lilies

I love everything about this card and am sad that all the products are no longer available.  The background is from the Gingham Gala DSP collection from Stampin Up.  I cut a hole using the Stitched Shapes #152323 dies. I stamped the stems of the lilies using the now retired Lasting Lily stamp set on the inside of the card and then stamped the flowers and cut them out with the now retired Lily dies. I added the sentiment from the Home to Roost (retired) stamp set and added a little linen bow.

Don’t quit your day dream

 For today’s card, Cammie created texture using 2 Textured Impressions Folders: Swirls and Curls #147923 and the Seasonal Wreath #151796. For the focal piece, Cammie created the beach scene on a Stitched Shapes #145372 using the Waterfront #146376 and the retired Custom Tees stamp sets from Stampin Up.
