Wonderful Wednesday

Weekly Class

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to another Wonderful Wednesday Blog. I am continuing to highlight Stampin' Up! colors that are retiring. I know it is a bit sad to see some favorites go, but the new colors coming into the new Annual Catalog are wonderful and you might not even remember some of the colors retiring. 

Not only is my focus on retiring colors, but the retiring designer series papers as well. One of the really beautiful packs is the Petal Garden DSP 6" x 6" paper stack. These color combinations are fantastic! I love to mix and match and this paper makes it really easy to do so.

This project uses Sweet Sugarplum (2016-2018 In-Color) with Wild Wasabi. The flowers and leaves match these colors so well. I wanted the DSP to be the focal point for this Mother's Day card. I used the Petal Pair Embossing Folder and retiring Doilies. 

Soft Sky is such a pretty color! Similar to the first project, I wanted the DSP to be the star and the color in the background matches perfectly. I used the Touches of Textures Stamp set for the lace background and then used the Label Me Pretty set and punch for the floral Happy Birthday. A slightly larger Layering Oval framelit was mounted with some silver Metallic Thread. 

I am most excited about this card for class. I haven't used the Best Birds Stamp set yet. This is my first project with this set and framelits. This card uses Tangerine Tango Card stock and the Petal Garden DSP. This is a stand out project. The bird and branch are great. The satin ribbon and pearls are wonderful accents. The "Thank You" sentiment comes from the Petal Palette Stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. 

Thanks for stopping in. I had great things to share today. Comment and share if you liked today's projects. It's important to note that all of the current designer series papers are on the newly released retiring list. You won't want to wait to put in an order because DSP will sell out!
