Just Sayin'

Is seeing the items on the Retiring Lists getting you down?  They are sure flying off the shelves of the warehouse.  Well, rather than show you a card with retiring items on it, how's I show you a card that uses products that are going to continue in the new catalog?

Does this make you happy?  The Retro Fresh Washi Tapes are in the new catalog!  So are the Just Sayin' stamp set and coordinating Word Bubbles framelits.  Yay!!!  One secret I will share with you...  These items are found in the current Occasions catalog.  Currently, the stamp set and framelits are offered as a bundle, at a 15% saving for you.  In the new catalog, I do not spot the bundle being available, which means when the new catalog starts, this bundle will go up to its original price.  So, if the stamp and and framelits are something you've been eyeing, it would be a great thing to place on your order before Occasions Catalog end on June 1st.  You do want to save some $$$, don't you?! ;)

Floral Frame

Today's card was inspired by Amy.  I had been wanting to test out layering using flowers from different stamp sets and thought this was the perfect card to try it with.  I used Mixed Bunch, Flower Shop and Petite Petals.  Look at how wonderful they stack on top of each other.  I hear what you're saying... but I don't NEED another flower set.  I know, I know.  I didn't want to keep buying these floral sets, either.  But I caved, and I love them!  Oh, the reason why my sentiment looks like it barely got any ink at all?  I was trying to be careful and not get any lines from the edges of the rubber.  I guess it wasn't a very good job.  But I was not about to redo the entire card.  So there.

Happy Spring Day at last!

Yay, sunshine make appearance today in my corner of the world.  Today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration.  I'm putting in one last order today.  Let me know if you want in ASAP!  Today's card is inspired by.... somebody in cyberspace.  I'm so sorry to the original creator.  I can't remember where I go this from.  Let me know if you do.  Anyways, I love this sentiment from the Yipee Skipee set.  I used the embossing folder that's FREE with qualifying order during Sale-a-Bration.  The "long banner" is made by using the Banner punch, also FREE with qualifying order during Sale-a-Bration.  You like?

ETA: Found my inspiration.  This card was inspired by Angie.

Perfect Layer

I love these almost-one-layer cards.  Today's card is inspired by THIS card.  Not much explanation needed here.  I love these colors, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Pear Pizzazz.  Flowers are from Flower Shop.  Sentiment in Early Espresso.  Sentiment is from Perfect Pennants, out of the current Occasions Catalog.
