This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Sad to See You Go”. We are featuring those products that are retiring and not in the new Annual Catalog! It is always a bittersweet time for me. I love seeing new things, but there really are some favorites that I will miss! I’ve used SEVERAL retiring products on my card. Sweet as a Peach Bundle, You’re A Peach DSP, Hippo & Friends Dies (sob!) and the In Color Jewels!
SWEET AS A PEACH
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 piece of striped You’re A Peach Designer Paper (retiring) was placed along the left side. Another 2-1/2 x 3-1/4 piece of polka dot DSP was added over top of it.
- The medallion shape from Hippo & Friends Dies (retiring) was cut from Basic White and added to the front towards the left side.
- The peach from Sweet As A Peach stamp set (retiring) was inked with Pale Papaya Ink and sponged with Calypso Coral Ink on Basic White. The peach leaf was stamped with Pear Pizzazz Ink, and the flowers were stamped with Calypso Coral Ink. All were cut with the Peach Dies (retiring), then assembled on the medallion with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two small double leaves were cut from Old Olive with the dies.
- The greeting from Sweet as a Peach was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1/2 x 3 piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and added to the front.
- A trio of dark green In Color Jewels (retiring) were added to the centers of the flowers.
- Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the stem.
So that is my selection of retiring products for this week’s “sad to see you go” blog hop theme!
