Cards using some of the currently retiring Stamp sets

Just a quick post with some photos of projects we made in last weeks classes with some of the retiring stamps

Little Princess on page 32 – reduced by 25% – now £10.46 Clear; £12.71 Wood

What can I say – so sweet!!

What little girl wouldn’t love this…..

 

 

Clearly For You on page 66  – Wood reduced by 25% – so wood actually cheaper than the clear - £17.21 Wood; £17.95 Clear. This has been a gorgeous set to play with and be creative with – wasn’t my style – but became a favourite – really sad to see it go…

The card was based upon this great one here created by Mary Fish . Though I changed it to a square card.

And have you spotted that a new In Color has crept in here – this is in Midnight Muse – gorgeous blue…..

Elebration on page 14 - £8.95.

This little elephant is SO cute!!

And lovely for watercolouring – particularly using the Watercolour Wonder Crayons….

 

  

Simply Soft on page 10 - only available with a hostess order during September – hostess value £12 Clear. £15 Wood. I adore this set – a definite keeper for me……

The card is CASED from Monica Gales lovely card here. In fact I liked this one so much – I had to do 2……

  Another retiring hostess set – Faith in Nature on page 11 - £8 Clear; £10 Wood. The wide striped ribbon is retiring too – sniff – lots reduced by 25%.

This card is CASED from this gorgeous card.

And some other new products from the Autumn/Winter catty have crept in too – the Lacy Brocade embossing folder; the Early Espresso 12x12 Core’dinations cardstock and use of the Stampin’ Sandin’ block….. lovely!!

 

 

And last – but not least – Pedal Presents – this was a hostess set in the Summer Mini – so this is no longer available at all ( though I have just found an extra clear one at home!!).

I absolutely love this card… and will be repeating the layout very soon…… this is a CASE of Kerstin Lang’s Crumb Cake version here.

By the way – these stamps have already gone for ever!
