This is one of the retiring Stamp Sets from the Stampin’ Up! Annual catalog. It is a card I actually cased directly from the catalog. I first created the card base from a peice ot 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Crumb Cake card base. I then cut a 4″x 5-1/2″ layer form Crumb Cake and Old Olive cardstock. I used the Basic Borders dies to create the curve in the card. I stamp the boat image using Early Espresso ink onto the two layers. I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Black ink onto a scrap Basic White cardstock, which I added to the front on f the card using dimensionals. I added a linen thread bow and classic matte dots to the front of the card.
This next card uses the retiring Evening Evergreen color, Timber embossing folder and Lovely Layers Vellum. Most of which is on the Retiring product list. You can check those lists out on an earlier post: Last Chance Products.

On to the card…that I was inspired to make. The card base is Coastal Cabana (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored a 4-1/4″. I added a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock (5-1/4″ x 4″) to the card base. I started with the Oceanfront Stamp Set and used Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede to create the background on a 5″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I then used the images from the At the Pond set to add the Cattails in with Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green Inks. I used the grass and speckle image from the Oceanfront stamp set to continue making my landscape. I then adhered the Basic White cardstock to the card front.
Now the fun part. On a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the Frog image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then used Granny Apple Green I stamped the “solid” image shape of the frog over the detailed image. Next, I stamped the Detailed Log image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I used the solid image from the stamp set and stamped off the Soft Suede ink before I stamped over the detailed image. And finally I stamped the Dragonfly using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image using Balmy Blue and a Blender. I fussy cut out all three images, added dimensionals and adhere to the card front.
To finish off the card, I stamped a phrase from the Sending Support Sale–bration stamp set and placed Faux Sea Glass in clusters of 3 around the card front. So what do you think?

Okay, Okay just one more card- this just cracked me up. I find when I am nervous, anxious or frightened I tend to start joking around and being silly to get me out of that funk. I just thought this was funny, I mean, who else but a frog would want to eat a fly? just sayin. I used the card above for inspiration and then just switched out my stamp set. I used the At the Pond and Sending Support Stamp sets. The outside sentiment reads: Courage is being really scared and doing it anyway. The inside sentiment is YOU’VE GOT THIS. A little Wink of Stella on the Frog and Flowers, Balmy Blue Variegated Ribbon and Dimensionals make this card pop.
