Sandi MacIver – Stampin With Sandi – Lovely Wishes CAS Card and Retiring In Colours.
Lovely Wishes is another stamp set from the Occasions Caddy that I have not played with and because it’s the beginning of the week, I thought a nice simple CAS (clean and simple) card was in order so here you go!
- I stamped the images in Archival Basic Black ink onto a 4 inch square of Whisper White. The set is a two-step stamping set so I used the filler stamps to colour in the leaves and flowers.
- The sentiment is heat embossed on gold to tie in with the mat in Gold Foil Sheet and is 4-1/8″ square
- I added a few Enamel Shapes for added embellishment.
- The card bases are 5 x 10, scored and folded at 5 in Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo, 3 of the 5 in-colours that will be retiring soon.
Each New Catalogue year Stampin Up gives us 5 NEW – On Trend In Colours. They stay for 2 years and then retire. So each year one set of colours retires as in the 2016 – 2018 Collection for this year.
In a couple of weeks the retired list will be released and the retiring ink colour products – especially the ink pads, refills, markers and paper are always the first to sell out. In 10 years as a Demonstrator I have never seen them last until the final day.
So – Today’s cards are created in the retiring colours to remind you, if you Love Em – and you have not ordered extra supplies yet – might want to add it to your list.
That said – We do have a colour refresh occasionally and that would be the only time that one or more of these colours may be reintroduced, and we haven’t had one for a bit – just saying – And no, I don’t have any insider info, haha….I’m just putting it out there
I hope you enjoyed today’s project and thanks so much for stopping in to visit.
Wishing you Happy Stamping.
Hi Sandy. Beautiful cards.
thanks Donna, they are nice and easy
So pretty Sandi! Love the clean designs, perfect with those colors! 🙂
What great little cards! I love that stamp set, and it is sitting untouched in a box somewhere. If I find it, I’ll be casing these cute cards to have on hand for sure. I’m going to miss this group of colors, they were a fun mix! As for the color refresh …. come back Coastal Cabana! 🙂 🙂
oh gosh yes to Coastal Cabana, we can wish right – would be awesome with Lemon Lime Twist
beautiful cards; hate to see dapper denim go, as I found it a nice go to color for masculine cards; Happy Easter, Sandi!!
I agree Susan, it’s a great colour for masculine cards. happy Easter to you as well.
