Today’s cards feature several products that are retiring and available while supplies last. They are:
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and added a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to the Mint Macaron cardstock. Then, I wrapped a piece of Basic White ribbon (from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around this piece and tied a knot, added adhesive to the back and placed it on the Thick Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Mint Macaron ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Biggest Wish and then cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I cut a larger rectangle out of Misty Moonlight cardstock, adhered the sentiment to it, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added three Polished Dots. Our Polished Dots have been unavailable but they are now back in stock again!
For my second card I used all of the same products but used Highland Heather cardstock and Gorgeous Grape ink.

I have two cards to share with you today that feature All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and several retiring products on the Last Chance List. These products are available while supplies last! It’s possible that by the time you read this, some of these products will have sold out.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. As I mentioned above, this embossing folder is retiring and I’m pretty sad about that. What I love about this folder is that it’s very subtle and doesn’t clash with a busy Designer Series Paper pattern. I really enjoy adding texture to a card and this one always works perfectly.
Next, I adhered a piece of All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then wrapped a piece of Basic White ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the paper and tied a knot. This nice, wide ribbon is another product I love. Not all ribbons are easy to use but this one is. If I can’t wrap a ribbon around a card easily and tie it in a knot, then I won’t use it. This ribbon is retiring, comes with another ribbon and a beautiful Baker’s Twine AND it’s on sale with a 20% discount!
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the ribbon wrapped piece and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock. To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Free as a Bird. I cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. To say I love these dies is an understatement. They are sweet and feminine and I’m REALLY, REALLY going to miss using them.
I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom of the rectangle and then placed it on my card I didn’t want the Dimensionals sitting on top of the ribbon which is why I opted for using the Minis (the regular Dimensionals were just too big).
Here’s the other card I made using all the same products but this time I used a Thick Basic White cardstock base and a Basic White mat for the All Together Designer Series Paper. Although it’s hard to tell in my photo, I did emboss the Basic Black cardstock.

If you follow me, you know I love using our Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I was shocked and saddened to see them on the retiring list as they’ve definitely been a favorite of mine. I love the stitching and the delicate scallops. If you’d like to add these to your crafting favorites, I can’t stress enough, get them as soon as you can. I’ve been watching what has already sold out and the Just Jade Ink Refill showed up on the list yesterday. Several bundles are gone and a lot of stamp sets. With all the supply chain issues, we seem to have less in stock than we normally do so grab your favorites just as soon as you can!!
Yesterday I shared a card using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set and today I have another card using this set along with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. You can see yesterday’s card here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Flirty Flamingo Designer Series Paper from the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack (this paper is retiring and on sale). Then I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and stamped the tree in Memento ink.
I colored the tree using our Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 and used a Blender Pen to spread and soften the color. I used Flirty Flamingo, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set and then cut it out using one of the dies from the Sweet Hearts Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the part of the sentiment that would be on the rectangle. To complete the card, I added a small Brass Butterfly to the sentiment and two larger ones around the tree.
Bundle Alert: The Happy Hedgehogs Bundle (#157985) includes the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set and the Hedgehog Builder Punch. You always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.
