Farewell to French Foliage

The good news?  The NEW Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog goes live on Friday afternoon, May 31st!  The sad news?  A TON of cool stuff will be retired and June 3rd is the last day to order.  One stamp set that I'm super bummed to see retired is French Foliage.  I love the versatility of this set and the artsy feel of the images.

Here's a card that I made using French Foliage - it was a hit with my CLOcards customers!

Besides the retiring French Foliage stamp set, other retiring products on this card include More Mustard ink and cardstock, Old Olive Scallop Dots ribbon, and Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. You can find them all in the Retiring Products section in my Online Store.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

One LAST Christmas Card???

So ... it's still December ... can I get away with showing you one more Christmas card?? I hope so! I had so much fun making this one.  I was inspired a whole year ago by Dawn Olchefske when she made THIS card.  So I had to try it!  We made this card at the November CLOclub meeting.  Take a look ...

Here's a closeup of the details like the Seam Binding ribbon and the Dazzling Details, both in Cherry Cobbler:

And I'm making an effort to decorate the inside of my cards, too:
