Lots of Retiring Products

This card uses several retiring products that I am going to miss:  Three Little Words, Sincere Salutations, the Ticket Corner punch and Whisper White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. 

In fact, all the 1/4" grosgrain ribbon is being retired.  Can you believe it?  Me neither!!  I use it a lot!  So, I am offering a ribbon share.  That way we can build up lots of colors without having to buy a full roll of each -- though I'm sure I could go though a whole roll of each, that could get expensive.

The way it works is this:  you pay for one roll of ribbon (15 yards for $4.95 plus shipping and tax).  But instead of 15 yards of one color, you get 5 yards of 3 different colors.  Great way to build your ribbon selection on a budget!

Here are some color combinations to get you started:

Christmas Pack:  Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White
Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black and Tempting Turquoise
Night of Navy, Very Vanilla and Rose Red
The Basics:  Whisper White, Very Vanilla and Basic Black

I am open to suggestions if there is a color you really want that is not on this list (or if you want to mix them up into different groups of 3).  Plus, since these ribbons are retiring, participating in this ribbon share (or any of the other specials on my promotions page) will get you entered in a prize drawing.

Contact me today to participate in the ribbon share or take advantage of any other promotions.  Thank you!

Triple Treat Cards

Hi!  I have three cards to share with you today -- all using the retiring Triple Treat stamp and the same color scheme.  I also used the corner rounder on the top and bottom cards.

This card uses two more retiring products:  the 5 Petal Flower punch and Sincere Salutations stamp set.

 Again, the retiring 5 Petal Flower punch.  Also, the stamp set Blessings From Heaven, the Fancy Flower punch, and a circle punch for the center of the flower.

 This card uses a ribbon that has already retired, but there is another Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon available (I think the only difference is that the current ribbon doesn't have the white along the edges).  Thinking of You comes from the retiring Sincere Salutations.

Twitterpated Top Note Card

Here's another card I made using the beautiful Twitterpated fabric.  I cut it using my Big Shot and the Top Note die.  I also used the Big Shot to cut the flower using the Blossom Party die.

The sentiment is from the retiring set Sincere Salutations.  It's a great set full of differerent...well...salutations.  The stamps are all close to the same size so once you design a card using one you can easily interchange the others.  You don't want to miss out on this one!  The ribbon, too, is retiring.  I love these ribbons, available in all the 2010-12 in colors.  I will miss the ribbons and this group of in colors.  They are only available while supplies last (or until May 31)

Bordering On Romance Cards

I have two cards to share today.  Both use the beautiful Stampin' Up set Bordering On Romance from the Occasions Mini Catalog, which ends April 30th.  I water colored the flowers on both cards.

The background of the first card is from the Designer Series Patterns Pack.  The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations.  I use that set a lot because it contains several great sayings and the size seems just right for so many cards.  This set is retiring, so it will no longer be available after May 31.  Wondering about that rich purple color?  It's Concord Crush, which is also retiring.

The pink on this card is Regal Rose, which I like because it's a deep pink color without being too bright.  The background is Pear Pizzazz, which is also retiring.

Get these great stamp sets and retiring In Colors before they are gone!  You can order them from my online store.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Zoo Review Christmas Card

This card uses the polar bear from Zoo Review.  The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations and I can't quite remember which set the snowflakes came from -- Serene Snowflakes possibly.  The base of the card was run through the Big Shot using the Northern Flurry embossing folder.  Then I highlighted some of the snowflakes with Basic Rhinestones.

Ink:  Bashful Blue, Basic Black

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy

The top card also uses Stampin' Dimensionals to lift up the top layers.

The bottom card also uses the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.
