Retirement Party

I hosted a retirement party recently for my favorite 5 retiring sets. We made 4 different card designs as a stamp-a-stack. Guests enjoyed stamping with my favorites one last time before they retired on the 31st of May!

I had a few more Sneak Peak 3d samples to show everyone as well as card for my stamp club.

Tips for today's cards- use the watercolor wonder to color the rose on the fifth avenue floral set for a smoother colors rose. Dazzling details glitter glue is great for fine details and edging roses!

We used the striped embossing folder for a simple background on my Christmas one.

My favorite Card is using the BFF set and is a square card with a extra long banner strip. I love the Pool Party and Poppy parade color combo! Would not have considered it at all! I will miss all these sets!!

Color Challenge SCCOLOR18

I made this card for a color challenge today. We could use Whisper White, Basic Black, and any color. I chose Mambo Melon. I used my uninked Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and the Manhattan Flower impressions folder.

I ran the impression folder through the Big Shot, and lightly rubbed the raised surface with my sponges. The color immediately highlighted the embossed sections, and colored the rose area. Then I stamped the saying on whisper white and added an edge of a flower stamped off once to give the lighter version of Melon Mambo ink. I flicked the edges, and added it to a basic black mat. A strip of ribbon finished off this simple card.
