Detailed flowers from the Artistic Dies add so much to this floral Thank You Card

  •  Artistically Inked Bundle with Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper
  • Final days of Last Chance Sale - ends 30 June 2021
  • Get ready for the 15% off Select Designer Series Paper Sale - 1 July 2021
Today I finally pulled out my Artistically Inked Stamp Set and the coordinating Artistic Dies.  I've been frustrated, as have many of you, that the wildly popular, Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper that is designed for the Expression in Ink Suite Collection, has been out of stock.  The good news is that it is estimated to be back in stock within the next week or so.  However, I didn't want to wait any longer to use the rest of this product suite.  So, I looked through my other Designer Series Papers to find one that worked with this suite.  It didn't take very long.  I found that the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, which is about to retire June 30, had several prints that worked extremely well with the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and Artistic Dies.  I love how well these products worked together, and I'm so happy with how this card turned out. I added a bow of Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim and  used the Hippo & Friends Dies to create a label for the sentiment from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.

The basecard for this card is Mossy Meadow Cardstock.  Then a layer of Pear Pizzazz.  And the image layer is a print from the Fine Art Floral 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.

I used the Artistic Dies to die cut a delicate flower die cut from Mossy Meadow Cardstock and glued it to the card front.  I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to create a label of Mossy Meadow and Bumblebee Cardstock, and popped it up on Dimensionals.

I used my Stamparatus to create a drop shadow for the sentiment "Thanks" on my label.  I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink full strength.  Then I moved the Bumblebee label slightly on my Stamparatus, and stamped the "Thanks" again without reinking my stamp, which created a drop shadow in a lighter shade of Mossy Meadow.  You can see it best in the first photo in this post.  To complete my card, I added a bow of Mossy Meadow 3/16" Braided Line Trim, which is on sale as part of the Last Chance Sale, ending 30 June 2021.

In addition to the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, the Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim is about to retire, and are on the Last Chance Sale that ends 30 June. So be sure to pick them up before they're gone.  Here's a closeup of the prints in the Fine Art Floral Designer Series paper.

A Craft Room Play Day with some of my Favorite Retired Products

            

  • Playing with Retired Products from the World of Good Suite
  • Last Chance Sale ending 30 June 2021
  • Get ready for the 15% off Select Designer Series Paper Sale - 1 July 2021
With Demonstrators being able to begin preordering from the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog beginning July 1 (a perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator), I'm rearranging my existing stamps and dies to make room for the exciting new products coming in the new catalogs.  I always keep a number of my favorite retired stamps and dies, and when I ran across the World Map Dies and the Celebrate You Dies--both retired--I decided to make this a "play with your retired products" day in my craft room.   With heavy to light rains falling most of today, it was the perfect day to brew a mug of Fennel Tea and play indoors.  I used retired elements from the Sailing Home Stamp Set, the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder, Brass Foil Sheets and World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Hmmm, seems I have more retired products than I thought! Soo glad I hung on to these wonderful pieces...and I'm making room for some of the new items I can't wait to order!

The basecard for this card is Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  Then another layer of Misty Moonlight dry embossed using the Old World Paper3D Embossing Folder.  The image layer is a print from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper matted with a piece of Brass Foil Sheet.

I used the World Map Dies to die cut the globe from Brass Foil Sheets.  I used the Celebrate You Dies to die cut the sentiment out of Brass Foil Sheets as well.  I stamped a Very Vanilla envelope with one of the stamps from the Sailing Home Stamp Set.

It was so much fun spending an afternoon creating cards with some of my favorite retired Stampin' Up! products as I prepare my craft room for new products from the upcoming catalogs full of fall and holiday-themed items.  Most of todays items are no longer available, as they are retired products from previous catalogs.  However, you still have a couple of days to order your favorite products from the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog during the Last Chance Products sale, which ends June 30. Items up to 50% off while they last.  Order current Annual Catalog items from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.
