Three adorable projects using retiring products ~ The Stamping Attic

I wanted to make some cards featuring some of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing retiring products. These cards feature the stamp sets Humming Along, Pretty Kitty, and Bella & Friends, as well as some Designer Series Paper that will be retiring. I also used A LOT of blends…because coloring is awesome! Here is a video showing how I made all the cards.

~ Humming Along ~

This first card uses the Humming Along stamp set and Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper. I am in love with this color combination – Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive.

I stamped the hibiscus with Memento on a piece of Whisper White that was die cut with the Stitched Rectangle framelits. The hibiscus was colored using light and dark Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, light Lovely Lipstick, and light and dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

Some Wink of Stella added just the right amount of sparkle to my flower. I finished it off with Old Olive linen thread and the Pretty Label punch.

Dimensions: Old Olive 4 ¼ x 11” scored at 5 ½”, DSP 4 x 5 ¼”, Whisper White Stitched Rectangle Framelit 2 5/8 x 4”, Whisper White 4 x 5 ¼”, Scrap of Whisper White and Flirty Flamingo

Ink Colors: Memento Tuxedo Black, Old Olive

Additional Supplies: Pretty Label Punch, Old Olive Linen Thread

~ Pretty Kitty ~

This card was inspired by a layout I used on a different card. It’s a great example of how versatile one layout can be!

I stamped the Pretty Kitty in the flower pot with Memento ink and punched it out with a 2 ¼” circle punch. Bring in more Stampin’ Blends! On this card, I used light and dark Calypso Coral, dark Call Me Clover, light Poppy Parade, dark Petal Pink, and light Smoky Slate. The Designer Series Paper is from the Bloom by Bloom Suite. I love these bright and bold patterns.

Ink Colors: Memento Tuxedo Black, Calypso Coral

~ Bella & Friends ~

This little puppy is TOO CUTE! I am so sad to see it go.

I used a 1 ¼” circle punch here and stamped one of each of the puppy images. Coloring with Stampin’ Blends again! I used light and dark Crumb Cake, dark Real Red, dark Night of Navy, and light and dark Granny Apple Green. The designer series paper is from the Twinkle Twinkle Suite.
