Retired stamps for sale!!!

My New Catalog Celebration on Thursday night was a great time! We had a lot of fun looking through the catalog!!! There were a lot of retired stamp sets for sale as well. Below is a list of what I have left.

On Thursday night I also offered two Make and Takes, the first one was a copy of a card from Convention. We used the Eastern Blooms stamp set (love it!). The base of this card is Baja Blue cardstock which is stamped with one of the smaller flowers in Baja Blue ink. Then tear the edge off a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock and adhere that to the card. Next dry emboss the small vine of flowers using the Floral Frenzy Classy Brass on a peice of Whisper White cardstock. Now here is the tricky part: ink up your brayer with Tangerine Tango and LIGHTLY roll on to the Whisper White cardstock on the side that is debossed (meaning that the flowers are indented). Using a sponge dauber, sponge Apricot Appeal around the edges to soften the Tangerine. Add a clear rhinestone brad to one of the flowers. This piece is adhered over the Kiwi Kiss cardstock with stamping dimensionals. Stamp a sentiment in Chocolate Chip on to Confetti White cardstock, tie chocolate chip grosgrain to one end, and adhere with stamping dimensionals. Cute card, huh?

The second was a CASE of a card on the Art from the Heart CD that is sold at the convention Memento Mall. We used the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set. The base of the card is Pink Pirouette. Stamp the small flower with Kiwi Kiss ont he Kiwi Kiss strip of cardstock. Punch one edge of the Riding Hood Red cardstock with the scallop edge punch. Stamp the grass from the Inspired by Nature set with Kiwi Kiss ink on the Whisper White piece. Adhere these together and then tie black grosgrain ribbon around before adhereing to the card. Stamp one of the sentiments in Basic Black and the little butterfly with Riding Hood Red. Punch a circle scallop from Riding Hood Red cardstock and a 1 1/4 circle from Basic Black. Stamp the butterfly background with Pink Pirouette ink on Whisper White cardstock, then the butterfly dots in Riding Hood Red over it. Cut out and adhere with dimensionals to black circle. Whew... that's a lot of typing!
