Mint Macaron Botanical

I love the fresh look of Mint Macron with the crisp Whisper White card stock on this card. I used a sponge dauber to color the center of the flower before adding the white flower center, which I also colored with a sponge dauber.

2016 Retiring Items

Stampin' Up! announced the retiring list last week.  Retiring products are going fast, including some of my favorite In-Colors papers and matching markers!  Accessories are only available while they last.  Pick up some bargains.  Some retiring products are discounted up to 50%.  

So, what will you miss the most from the retiring list?  For me, its probably the World of Dream stamp set.  I've used that set for so many swaps because it can look so dramatic with so little effort.

Botanical Builder Framelit Cards and Treats

• Build a card using only the Botanical Framelit die
• Matching treats using Polka Dot Cone Cellophane Bag
• 2016 Retiring List

Botanical Builder Framelit die

I'm still finding ways to create with this wonderful Framelit set from the Occasions catalog... and you can still order it from the Occasions Catalog until May 31, 2016.  These thinlets can be used to design without any additional stamping.  This is a sample card using only pieces from the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies

Card made with Botanical Builder Framelit die (140625)

The Botanical Builder Framelit die can be purchased alone (140625), but also comes as part of a bundle with matching stamp set (Botanical Blooms) and matching Designer Series Paper ( Botanical Gardens)  When you purchase the bundled stamp set with the designer paper and the Botanical Builder Framelit die, you save 15% off what they would cost if purchased separately.  The order number for the bundle is 140819.  I used sponge daubers to color the centers of the flowers with Pink Pirouette in and sponge daubers and then added a pearl to the center.

Recipe

• Stamps: Sentiment on inside of card:  Best Thoughts hostess set
• Paper:  Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
• Ink:  Basic Black Archival, Pink Pirouette ink pad, Pink Pirouette Write Marker (butterfly inside card)
• Accessories:  Botanical Builder Framelit die (140819), Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals,  Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Plates, Magnetic Platform  130658.

Sentiment and butterfly on the inside of the card is from the Best Thoughts hostess set (139234).  The flower is another die from the Botanical Builder Framelit die.

Treats matching Botanical Builder card

I love sending a few treats when I send a handmade card.  Here's what I made using the Polka Dot Cone Cellophane Bags (140578) from the Occasions catalog.  I used the same sentiment stamp from Best Thoughts hostess set (139233) as I used on the inside of the card.

The treats are tied with White 1-1/4" Jute Ribbon, which can be purchased until May 31 or until gone...one of my favorite ribbons from the current Stampin' Up! catalog.
