Starry Congrats Card

The Stars Framelits are retiring!  This is one of those sets that I find I use year-round...birthdays, Christmas, Fourth of July.  Here, I used them for a graduation card.  

The Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate was an afterthought, and I just love how it looks on this card.  I watercolored the bottom layer with Delightful Dijon and brushed on some stripes with the same color Stampin' Write Marker.  It was too blah looking, so I then brushed over it with Clear Wink of Stella.  Still not satisfied, I added a bit of Dazzling Details to the stripes.  Okay, getting there, but still looked a little drab.   That's when I decided to add the foil acetate.  Wow, much better!

The sentiment is from the Happy Happenings stamp set, which is also retiring.  It's also time to bid farewell to Delightful Dijon.

Project Product List:

Playful Pyramid Pals

The Playful Pals stamp set and coordinating Pyramid Pals Thinlits are two of the products that will be retiring on May 31st.   It seems like just yesterday when they were introduced, yet it's been two years.  So, before they are gone for good, I thought I'd do a quick project, as a reminder of just how cute and versatile these sets are.  

Rather than using cardstock for the darker shade of pi

nk, I thought it would be more fun to stamp those pieces.  Gives it a more handmade kind of look, I feel.

Blushing Bride cardstock and Sweet Sugarplum ink,  since this one is for a little girl.

Pear Pizzazz cardstock and Wild Wasabi ink, for this guy.

I put some M&M's in a small, clear bag.  I simply tucked the large triangle behind the two small flaps and it held up nicely. 

Don't miss out on these totally fun and versatile stamps and dies.  Once they're gone, they're gone for good!

SUPPLY LIST:

I'm a bit sad to say that this adorable image is from a stamp set that is retiring on May 31st.  The stamp set has such adorable images and sentiments but I'm not quite ready to see it go.

Made With Love photopolymer stamp set

There's still time to order the Made With Love stamp set, but it's only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.   Once it's gone, it's gone forever.
