Happy Traveler Retirement card

This is another retirement card I created for my co-worker who is retiring at the end of the month.  This card uses the Traveler stamp set, mossy meadow cardstock, Moonlight DSP paper stack, and Stampin' Blendabilities markers which will all be available in the new catalog beginning June 2.  In addition I used one of my all-time favorite stamp sets, Lovely as a Tree for this card.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is cut using the new Project Life cards and labels framelit dies.  Thanks for looking, I hope it inspires you to create something today.

Perfect blend retirement card

I made these retirement cards using some sneak peak items, current items and retired product.  I have three co-workers retirning at the end of the month.  It will be very hard to say goodbye.  I've worked with these gentelemen for the past 23 years.  I'm happy for them, but sad for those of us who will feel the void when they've moved on.  For these two cards, I used the perfect blend stamp set and teeny tiny wishes for the sentiment.  I also used the retired stamp set Like It a Latte (for the coffee beans).  Colors used are sahara sand, early espresso, lost lagoon and hello honey.  The DSP is from the Moonlight DSP paper stack (48 sheets 4 1/2" x 6 1/2".  I love these DSP paper stacks.  They come in handy for lots of things.  The DSP is cut with the Deco Label Framelit dies.  I colored the coffee cup using the new Stampin' Blendabilities markers.  I LOVE these new markers.  The colors blend together so easily.  I used the On Film Framelits to cut my photo frame, notice the embossing?  The framelit die does that at the same time as the cut.  I added a little burlap ribbon which I frayed apart to make the ribbon accent.  I hope you can find some time to stamp today.

Something For baby shower card

I couldn't wait to try out my new Something For Baby stamp set and matching framelit dies!  Good thing I needed a baby shower card for this weekend.  This is another sneak peak for new Stampin' Up! product being released on June 2.  This set also uses Baby, we've grown and teeny tiny wishes stamp sets.  These sets are currently available for order.  The background is stamped using another sneak peak set Something to Say (the heart and flower are from this set.)  I used Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana and Wistaria Wonder for the colors (cardstock and ink.)  The card base is embossed using the decorative dots folder.  It was a Sale-a-Bration free item, but will be available for purchase when the new catalog launches.  Other products used were the starburst framelit dies, banner framelit dies, basic pearl jewels and basic jewel rhinestones.  I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out and I hope it inspires you to create something similar.  Thanks for looking.

Artiste Coffin Halloween Treat boxes

I saw these cute Halloween coffin treat boxes cut from the Cricut Artiste cartridge and just had to make some of my own.  Hope you enjoy them. 

 

The coffins are cut at 5" out of SU DSP from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone paper pack and the Bold Brights DSP paper stack.  Stamps sets used are  Mixed Medley (Hostess set) and Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I also used lucky limeade 1/4" stitched ribbon.  In addition, I used a bit of baker's twine from the Ghoulish Ghouls bundle.  I hope the recipients will be very happy to receive them.
