Less than two weeks to go until the awesome stamp sets on the Retiring List are no longer available! Have you reviewed the list and make sure none of your favourites are leaving? Avoid disappointment and make sure you order any of those sets by June 30th.
This card features two retiring sets – Best Wishes & More (111602), and Stem Sayings (115078). I am always a little bit sad to see sets retire, but that means there's lots of new stamps coming our way in the new 2010/2011 Idea Book and Catalogue! It has some amazing sets in it that I can promise you'll fall in love with!
Speaking of retiring sets – here's some links to older posts that feature retiring sets which I will miss as well:
A few years ago when Boho Backgrounds was released, it was one of the more popular sets, but as we get new sets, we all tend to forget about old ones in our stash. Over the past week, I've been going through my stamps and putting aside all of the retiring ones, including this one!
This card features Boho Backgrounds along with Medallion in a fun technique called Emerging Colour. Here's a quick tutorial on this technique and how to make this card:
You will need at least two stamps for this technique, a bold solid image stamp and a smaller one to create the background.
Randomly stamp images on Whisper White card base. For this card, the background is stamped with the small flower image from Boho Backgrounds in Melon Mambo. Completely cover the entire background.
Stamp large background image over top in Versamark. Cover with clear embossing powder and heat until embossing powder is fully melted.
Take your brayer (or a sponge) and a dark colour (for this card Rich Razzleberry) and completely cover your background. Take a Kleenex and wipe any ink off embossed image. The background should now show through the large to create your emerging color. Here's what the finished product should look like:
Finishing Touches
Add Melon Mambo ribbon to stamped panel with SNAIL as shown. Tuck one edge under to get a clean edge.
Stamp large flower image in Regal Rose and punch out with 1 3/8 circle punch. Set purple brad through centre of flower, and then attach to the middle of the Medallion with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Be sure to take a look at the list of retiring stamps and stock up before they are gone! Visit my online store and go to the last chance list section to check out all the sets that are leaving us.

Hi everyone! Connie Stewart here! I am SOOO excited to hijack Josee's blog for the day and share with you my new series called Up-Cycle It! Each Wednesday this "Stampin' Girl Gone Wild" will be sharing a new video on fun ways to use all those "trashy" items in your recycle bin and convert them into fun works of art. Are you excited? I know I am! I must say I am looking at trash in a whole new way.
Check out today's project! Don't you just LOVE it? This card was created with — you guessed it — soda pop tabs and some old nail polish I was about to throw away. I'm so glad I didn't because I think this card is amazing! I love the look of ribbon slides but how fun is this? Make your own! Super easy too!
