And a Last Goodbye to the Occasions Catalog...

This is the final card from my retiring class this month and is a farewell to the Going Places suite from the Occasions catalog.  We used the retiring Black embossing powder on the Very Vanilla card stock and the Gold Foil sheets.  You definitely need to use your embossing buddy when embossing on the Gold Foil and tap it pretty hard against the table to knock off all loose powder but if successful, it looks awesome!

Stand Up Fold Card Using Birthday Blooms

I call this a Stand Up Fold card because it can stand up by itself.  It was inspired by one I saw in a video done by Linda Bauwin.  Linda is the latest in the Million Dollar Club of Stampin' Up!  Congrats Linda!  It is amazing that she has sold $1,000,000 in Stampin' Up! product.  I don't think I will ever get to that level but I am having fun being creative and sharing my love of stamping with you.  Here is a video on how to make this card.  Enjoy!

You Little Furball - I'm Gonna Miss You!


This month, I held my annual retiring class where the projects consisted of mostly retiring products.  This card was inspired by one from smithr66 on Splitcoaststampers.  We even used one new product but you can't see it - it is double sided foam adhesive strips which work perfectly for shaker cards.  The best thing is you can mold it around your shape - in this case, a circle.  We ended up using some beads that I had which matched well with our Lost Lagoon paper.  I am going to miss this color!
