Last Day…

… to order from the Retiring List

To celebrate the current Stampin’ Up! Catalogue, I thought I would share with you the box of cards I created again using Retiring Products.  The idea come about after creating my card for the current Sunny Challenges challenge, which still has one more week to run, so it is not too late to link your creation with Mr Linky.

If you remember I created a box of 3 x 3 Gift Cards using Nature Walk & the Regal Inks which are retiring, a couple of days ago, so this time I thought I do would a similar sort of thing using the retiring Subtles Colours.

I created 4 cards – 2 x Regal Rose & 2 x Pretty in Pink.  All cards have a different greeting/sentiment on them. The box has touches of Pretty in Pink.  The word “Cards” on the box was created in MDS & printed in Certainly Celery.

Regal Rose & Pretty in Pink?

 
Until next time, Happy Stampin!

French Foliage…..

…. one last time!!!!! 

Everything in this project is retiring, except for Very Vanilla Cardstock!  I challenged myself to create a project using retiring Inks.  Of course the colours – Riding Hood Red, Bravo Burgundy, More Mustard, Not Quite Navy & River Rock – were the perfect match for the soon to be retired Stamp Set – French Foliage……

Again, the box is something I saw on Pinterest, although much bigger, so I set about adapting it to suit what I wanted & that was a set of 3 x 3 Gift Cards.

I’m really happy with the final result, but more so that I could achieve something using all the retiring Ink Colours & Cardstock – Riding Hood Red plus Ribbon.

 

 
Until next time, Happy Stamping!

CD Cases….

As promised, today’s post is another CD Case for the Expo.  Much to my delight & surprise the CD Cases sold within about 15m of each other.  I now have to stock up on more of these.  I don’t create a lot of them at once as I like to do them to suit the customers personality & colours she likes.

CD Cases….

Over the next couple of days, I thought I would share with you a couple of CD Cases I created for The Handmade Expo which I attend the first Sunday of each month.  The best thing about this Expo is, it is held inside which means the weather has no influence in whether it is on or not.  Don’t you just love that!  The organisers do a great job with the Expo & stalls come from all over the South Queensland to attend.  It is slowly growing in numbers no only with the stalls, but with the public as well.

The Case today is created using all retired products, but could easily be recreated with current products.

Holiday Christmas Ornament….

… is what we created in our Technique Class on Sunday last.  This lovely ornament is the one featured on the cover of Stampin’ UP!’s Holiday Catalogue.  It has been seen around the traps so often & think just about everyone has created one or something similar to it.  My ladies wanted to create this from the first time they saw it on the cover, so we set aside one of our Sundays to do just that.

Now, me being me, I didn’t copy from anyone, as I don’t go to “You Tube” & I am not one for reading instructions.  I sort of went by my nose to create it & am happy with the result.  I did forget to add the Thread to my sample, but that doesn’t take away from the whole ornament.

If you would like to create your own before Christmas, email me – vickiawright@bigpond.com – & we can arrange a class purely for this ornament.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’
