Retiring Projects

It's that time of year again, when we have to say goodbye to stamp sets.  As the new catalog gets ready to go live on July 1st some items from the old catalog had to go.  Many of the stamp sets that I have bought and love are on that retiring list.  My only consolation is that there are amazing new products to take their places. This post is to showcase some of the cards I designed for my last class to highlight some of my favorite sets that are retiring.  

First, I made this adorable shaker card with the Animal Nursery set.  Fun Stampers Journey has so many options for fun sparkle to add to your shaker cards, I used the Pink World Journey Sequins.  The stamp set is full of fabulous little animals which you could easily mix and match to make a set of cards.

Next I had to use the fabulous set, Enjoy Coffee.  My students know I love my daily dose of caffeine in the mornings, so this stamp set has always been dear to my heart.  I used a pop up tag to help create this quick and easy card accenting some of my favorite images from the set.


Finally I chose to use this set, Lantern Treats, because I have not used it enough.  I love all the elements in the set, from the bloom branch, to the lanterns, to the greetings.  I used paper pieces to create a fun background.  Again, I tried to keep it simple while showcasing all the set has to offer.  
  

All three of these sets are available on the retiring items list for 40% off through the end of the month.  Get yours while they last by clicking on the links above!  Happy crafting!
