Ode to the Retired Stamp Sets Series (Big On Christmas)

This stamp set is probably one of my all time favorites!  So yes, I'm sad to see it go...but all good things must come to an end!


I created this card using the Splitcoaststampers.com's sketch challenge.  The colors I chose to work with are Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride and Garden Green.  The last couple of years, I've been hooked on non-traditional Christmas colors.  So I'm glad that SU! came out with this designer paper pack, Candy Cane Christmas in last years Mini Occasions catalog.  I cut the striped paper on the diagonal, which gave me this cool look. 

Here's the card that I created: (I apologize for the "darker" pics; my beautiful morning has turned cloudy)

Good Afternoon,


Today's posting will be short and sweet since my allergies are driving me crazy!  Here's the latest installation of the Ode to the Retired Stamp Set Series.  

Ode to the Retired Stamp Sets Series (Fun Pun)

Here's another posting of the Ode to the Retired Stamp Set Series; I chose the Fun Pun stamp set.  This set was one of the first stamp sets I ordered through my Oregonian peep several years ago; it has remained one of my favorites. 


Get this set before it's gone, gone, gone.

Ode to the Retired Stamp Sets (Puns from the Past)

Good Evening...
So by now, most of you (Stampin Up! lovers), have reviewed the soon-to-be retired list.
This retired list is what prompts all of this MONTH's postings; every stamp used during the month of June will feature a retired set...I thought it would be fun...then title each posting...Ode to the Retired Stamp Sets.
I've used the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge to incorporate the use of Puns from the Past stamp set which after July 1 will be gone, gone, gone.
Here's the colors used:
