NEW AT SU-COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS & SENDING SMILES

 

This month on our New at SU Blog Hop we are trying something different-we are CASEing each other!!! Yup! This group of International independent demonstrators is featuring our own wonderful creations! 

If you are not aware, CASE means Copy And Share Everything!! We find a creation by one of our amazingly talented hop-mates and CASE it! I was given the wonderful Rachael Coon over at The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael to CASE!!! 

So here's her creation I decided to copy:

If you click on either picture it'll take you directly to her post! Or just simply find her amazing blog from the links down below!!!

Here's what I came up with:

You cans sign your name on the bottom/Parakeet Party!

I didn't have a gift card handy so I just used a piece of white paper to illustrate!

Now it's always nice to have a "plan" when creating! I loved this gift card holder that she came up with!!! Now when CASEing you can copy design, colors, layout, etc.-just about anything in the card you like! I liked the design here but I don't have the products she used! So I pulled out some of my favorite retiring products to feature for one last time! So sad!

The retiring stamp sets are Sending Smiles, Perennial Postage &        Countryside Corners. I'm trying to use up my retiring In-Colors too! Gonna miss this Parakeet Party so much!!! The dies used are Sending, Scalloped Corners and Countryside Corners (the only on-retiring product on the card!!!) Throw in some Basic Pearls colored with the matching Stampin' Blends & ya got a nice embellishment!!!!

So hope you enjoyed this CASE! I'm lovin' Rachael's blog & hope you do to! Be sure to visit it!!!! As well as the other blogs below!!!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-FAREWELL TO 2022-2024 IN COLORS

 Well it's that dreaded time of year-saying goodbye to our 2022-2024 In-Colors! And yes, we will welcome some really pretty new ones, but it's always sad to see some go. This month on our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are featuring some beautiful creations in homage to these colors that have been with us for 2 years!!!! Join us in their farewell!!!

Here's my card:

This card uses ALL retiring products! We are losing so many products this year! So many new & exciting ones coming though!

This card uses all 5 of the retiring In-Colors. My fave has always been the      Starry Sky. It's such a pretty, deep tone.  The stamp set has been with us for 2 catalogs & has been used quite a bit! I hate that the Scallop Contour Dies are going!!! I've used them so much! Such great backgrounds! Alas alack!

The image was embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. Also retiring. I liked how this one just gives that little bit of texture to the card. 

Lastly, the embellishments. The Metallic Woven Ribbon has been my fave ribbons for a long time! They are nice & thin-good for mailing! And so easy to tie! Hoping for some great new ones just like them! It's finished off with the dragonsflies from the Dragonflies & Birds Adhesives. I am literally shocked these are not returning!!!! They sold out so fast & I waited literally months for them to come back into stock!!! I would've thought they would still be around! Well don't be surprised if ya see one "flying" around on a future project!!! lol Love em!!

So time to say goodbye. I'll miss these and so many more retiring products. But look forward to welcoming some great new ones!!!

Now hop over to Janey's blog to see her goodbye! Simply click on her name here or on the icon below! Then keep going! I know you won't be sorry! Get some ideas to use up the retirees-to make room for the new ones of course!!!! lol

Happy Stampin'!!!
