Hey There Crafty Friends!
Do you ever get excited that you followed through with an intuition? I knew I was going to be having cataract surgery a few weeks ago. I didn’t know what day, but I new that it would be in the tie frame for this hop. With that being said, I normally procrastinate until there’s no more putting it off. I didn’t do that with this and boy am I grateful! I have 4 lovely cards made and I have time to even write this blog!
The current catalog is about to retire and we are showcasing some of our favorites that are on the way out. This stamp set is an absolute beauty and I’ve loved using it every chance I got. Forever Blossoms and it’s coordinating dies Cherry Blossoms make some incredible cards. I paired it with 4 of the retiring In Colors and their coordinating retiring Designer Series Paper. I only have the In Color products for the Cinnamon Cider card listed, but all of the colors are still available as of the writing of this post.




For two of the cards, I used the die on both the Basic White and the In Color DSP, and lined them up. I wish I had done it will all four, but I only thought of it after the first two. I added the Lace Very Vanilla Scalloped Ribbon that’s also retiring soon and on sale for $5.60.


Well, that’s my cards. I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop and get some ideas of what to do with any sets that you have that are retiring.
