Lucky to Have a Friend Like You

There’s always a ton of excitement and a little bit of sadness this time of year in the stamping world. While there is so much to look forward to in Stampin’ Up!’s 2020 Annual Catalog (it will be open for business on June 3), there are so many great products that are going away to make room for all the new things. Today’s card features two retiring products that I’m going to miss – even though I’m grateful for all the extra space opened up for new products. 🙂 Here’s my card:

Love What You Do, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Retiring. My card features two incredible products that are retiring on June 2 – the Love What You Do stamp set (how much do you love this sentiment?) and a panel of gorgeous panel of Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the Love What You Do stamp set that I have used over and over and over during the past couple of years:Love What You Do, Stampin' Up! 148042The Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper is designed with gorgeous flowers and hummingbirds and tile patterns. It’s this embossed panel of leaves, though, that I love the most. Just look at the shine on this page: Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingBonus!

  • Layer Measurements. The layout of my card is simple – and you can recreate it with other patterned papers, colors and sentiments. So that you can recreate this card on your own, here are the measurements, starting with the base of the card and working my way up:
    • Pool Party – 4-1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″)
    • Pool Party – 3-3/4″ x 5″ (embossed with Subtle 3D Embossing Folder)
    • Stampin’ Dimensionals
    • Garden Green – 3-1/8″ x 4-3/8″
    • Very Vanilla – 3″ x 4-1/4″
    • Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper – 3″ x 3″
    • Pool Party – 3″ x 1/2″
    • Stampin’ Dimensionals
    • Garden Green – Layering Circles Dies
    • Whisper White – 2-1/4″ Circle punch
  • Color Combination. Everything in my back yard is so brilliantly green right now, so I think I’m more drawn to greens right now. Paired with Pool Party, Mint Macaron and Garden Green have a gorgeous, soothing effect. I love it!

    • Thank you so much, Grace! When the set was released, I thought it would only be useful for demonstrator-related projects, but it’s much more versatile than that. So happy you like the card and am even more happy to hear from you again. ♥
