Sunday Fun Day: Saying good-bye to Friends are like Seashells

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring retiring products from the 2022-20223 Annual catalog. I am surely going to miss a bunch of the retiring colors and chose to feature several with the Friends are like Seashells stamp set.  Are you tired of my One Sheet Wonders (OSW) yet? These are so fun and easy to put together, so I hope you enjoy this week's project...

 

 

  I stamped a full sheet of basic white card stock with various images from the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set using Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Pacific Point, Sahara Sand and So Saffron ink pads.  Unfortunately, this stamp set is already gone. If there are any items that you have on your wish list, don't delay in ordering as many of the Last Chance products have already sold out!  To find out which items are still available and to place an online order (the best way to guarantee you'll be able to get what you want while it's in stock), please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code 6FH969HS* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).  

 

 

  To create the stamped sheet, I find it is easiest to start with the largest image and making sure to rotate the paper while stamping, and stamping off the paper to really make it feel like it is a piece of designer paper. Keep filling in with smaller images until you've filled out a full sheet.  For this set of cards, I cut the sheet into a piece 11" x 4-3/4", which I then cut into 3 pieces of 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" with a small strip left over (discarded).  Next, I cut the left over piece into 2 pieces of 5" x 3-3/4" with a small strip left over (also discarded). This gave me 5 pieces total that I could use to make 5 cards. 

 

 

  I mixed and matched the 5 colors of ink used for my card bases (some portrait and some landscape) and just kept it super simple with some sentiments from the stamp set. I hope you enjoyed my OSW card set today. For even more retiring product card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Debbie, these colors are so pretty. I love the various color mats and card bases you used for each of the 5 cards .... very nicely done!
