I can't believe that the day has finally arrived!
Today - we depart on our Euro-Trip of which the MAIN part is the 2016 Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip. We are so very excited about that and will be sure to keep you posted here.


So, I wanted to share another Throwback project. This is one of my fave cards ever. I made it based on sketch for the Retro Sketches challenge blog. And, here is the card that I ended up with;


The sketch was portrait and I ended up making the card landscape accidentally.


Im highlighting this card because it features a number of retiring products - some of them are already sold out. One of those being the sentiment.

I simply LOVE corrugated card. On this card, it was a nice base element over the strong diagonal elements. Then, some. And, over the top of that, some Crushed Curry cardstock with a stamp from the 'Stamp a Bag' set, which is on sale for just $25.50. just $30 for photopolymer. Click on the image below to purchase from our store.

The sentiment is from the 'Another Thank You' set - this is now sold out :-(  Another small sentiment could be used instead. I clear embossed the 'Many Thanks' with Crushed Curry ink on Whisper White and gave a quick wash of Night of Navy over using the emboss-resist technique. I used two framelits to mount the sentiment. The small banner underneath was not long enough and so I cut it in half and placed it where I wanted it.


Again, I used the Linen thread, which was a perfect accompaniment.

I really like this stamp set and will be sad to see it go. I stamped using versamark on Daffodil Delight and white embossed. To highlight the image further, I used the sponge dauber. I really like the effect.


I can't recall ever using this Designer Series Paper before. It uses Tangerine Tango which, admittedly, I hadn't noticed before. I had probably put it in 'one of the oranges' category. But, upon closer inspection, it is closer to red than orange.


I am sad that the corrugated card will be retiring. I love how it gives cards texture. Ill have to come up with another way of doing this when my stash runs out.


Like I said - if there is anything from the list that you are thinking of - get them now before they are gone forever.
