Hi friends,

The Last Chance Products used on todays card are the Garden Meadows stamp set (#162736), Garden Meadows dies (#162740) and the Meandering Meadows 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#162735).

I cut 4.5cm from the right side of the Basic White card front (#159228). I cut the DSP 10.5cm x 13.9cm, then cut 5cm from the left and attached this to the card front. The other piece I attached to the right side of the inside of the card.

The wheelbarrow from the Garden Meadows stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured this with Stampin’ Blends - Smoky Slate (#154904), Pecan Pie (#161674), 700 (#159463) from the Natural Tones, Berry Burst (#161681), Bubble Bath (#161675), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). A Garden Meadows dies was used to cut the wheelbarrow.

The circles were cut with Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580) using Basic Black card (#121688) and Granny Apple Green card (#147014).

“Hello” from the same stamp set was stamped with Memento ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183).

The wheelbarrow & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Just remember when adding adhesive to the Black circle, only use it on the part of the circle that will be attached to the left side of the card front.

Hello & welcome,

The Regal Flora Bundle (#164034) consists of the Regal Flora stamp set (#164157) and the Regal Flora Dies (#164033) and these are included in the Last Chance Products (retiring list).

I stamped the 3 flowers with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092), Berry Burst ink (#147143) and Bubble Bath ink (#161664). I used Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) for the leaves. The flowers and leaves were cut with the Regals Flora dies.

I used a die from the retiring Around The Bend dies (#160649) to cut the Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was taped to the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (also retiring). I matted this DSP with Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is also from the Regal Flora stamp set and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. A Changing Leaves die (#164138) was used to cut this.

I attached the flowers & sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the already retired Festive Pearls. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the flowers.

Trucking Along

Hi everyone,

With the new Mini catalogue being released early January, the current Mini catalogue will be retiring along with many products. Also there are a number of Online Exclusive products retiring to make room for more new and exciting products. So over the next few weeks I will try to highlight some of the retiring products.

The Trucking Along stamp set (#162299) and the Trucking Along Builder Punch (#162305) are retiring. I stamped the outline of the trucks with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118) and Night Of Navy ink (#147110). For the coloured part of the trucks I used the Stamping Off method with the same inks to get the lighter colour. The trucks were then punched with the punch. The tyres were coloured with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904). The presents were stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830). These were fussy cut.

Three designs of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) have been used on this card. This is not retiring. I matted the lighter piece with Basic Black card (#121688). They were attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the retiring Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736), was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and cut with a Happy Little Things die (#163709) - also retiring.

The sentiment & trucks were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the presents. The Festive Pearls embellishments are already retired.

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I have fussy cut these cute little birds from the Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183).

The background is from the same DSP pack and matted with Garden Green card (#108605). This was taped to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Birthday Wishes” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089).

Using a die from the Regal Flora dies (#164033), I cut the sentiment and the Garden Green card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I used the “frame” from the green card and attached it to the card front. The sentiment was taped to the card.

The birds were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots (#164204).

There are other birds in this DSP which can be cut with the co-ordinating Winterly Tree Tops dies (#164065).

Easy Scrapbooking

Hi again everyone,

Another quick & easy scrapbook page. I print my own photos so I can get different size photos allowing me to have more photos on a page and for variety.

For the background I used Very Vanilla 12”x12” card (#144239). I cut the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) for the serrated edging with the die from the Round We Go Dies (#1637290. This is the die to make the rosette. This was taped to the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (#164944), then attached to the background. I used the retired Stitched Greenery die on the DSP for the stitched leaves.

I matted some of the photos with Shaded Spruce card and taped them to the page. The leaves are cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185) using Crumb Cake card (#121685) & Pecan Pie card (#161726). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The birds are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

These were cut with the dies.

The umbrella & boots were also cut with the dies and attached to the stamped image. I used Daffodil Delight card (#121680) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then added glimmer to them with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

I matted the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper (#164173) with Daffodil Delight card and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) - (coming in January) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663), then cut with a die from Changing Leaves (#164138).

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment and the 2 stamped images.
