Soon To Be Gone...

Here are a couple of cards that highlight some of the retiring items:

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) already retired last year, but you could use one of this year's pretty DSPs. Maybe the retiring Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper which is only $6.60 at 40% off.

The fancy flower border on both cards and the flower and leaves in the bottom card are cut with the Botanical Builder Framelits (50% off, only $16.50). Both the Elegent Butterfly punch and the Bitty Butterfly punch are retiring. Basic Pearls (sold out) and Basic Rhinestones (50% off, $2.50) are on the retiring list, as is the Project Life Corner punch (used on the sentiment and its mat). I believe the embossing folder used on the small butterfly in the top card is also retiring.

The stamp set the sentiment came from has currently slipped my mind. I feel like it's there, but just out of reach. I tried to do some Internet searching, but no luck. Can you name the set? If so, please leave a comment to let me know.

EDIT: Thanks to Karen O'Connell for her comment. The sentiment comes from Rose Wonder.

St. Patrick's Day Projects

Here are a couple of St. Patrick's Day projects for your enjoyment.

For the card, I used the Blossom Builder punch to make the 4 leaf clover. The vein down the center was added using my bone folder and the stem was cut freehand. I built it on a layer of Whisper White cardstock that was layered on Emerald Envy. I rounded the corners with the Project Life Corner Punch and stamped Lucky You from the And Many More Set.

I put the clover tag on a layer of Emerald Envy striped DSP from the  2016-2018 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack which was put on a Whisper White base. Then I added some Gold Sequins. Think of them as gold pieces that fell out of the leprechaun's pot.

And Many More is (sadly) retired. It's a great set with some versatile sentiments. If you missed it the first time around, I have a set available for purchase. Contact me if you're interested.

For the second project, I added a banner of the striped DSP behind the clover tag and added it to a test tube from the Something Good To Eat Paper Pumpkin kit. This was such a great kit and if you didn't get it when it originally shipped, the full kit and refill packs are still available. Fill with some green or white candy or another treat of your choice.
