Retired but not forgotten

Here are a couple of projects using retired product:

This card uses the retired valentine stamp set Filled with Love and retired DSP Night and Day for the envelope. The card base is basic black layered with real red that has been embossed using the square lattice embossing folder. The envelope is cut using the scallop envelope die. The heart is from the Filled with Love set punched out with the large heart punch. A mini clothespin is prettied up with a heart punched from red shimmer paper using the small heart punch. The final touches are white bakers twine and rhinestones coloured with red sharpie. We will be using this card for my son's class as our Valentine project.

We made this clean and simple card in a Beginner Card Class. I had cut this paper for another project ages ago and never did use it. The card base is the retired green galore card stock, layered with certainly celery and whisper white. The stamp set used is Vintage Vogue stamped in certainly celery and pretty in pink. A very basic card which was a good place to start our class. The ladies impressed me so much with their talent and ability and I look forward to seeing them at future classes.

I have been busy preparing for the upcoming blog hop which will take place on February 2nd. Make sure you check out the hop for some awesome projects. I also have been preparing for the upcoming Mommy & Me Valentine's Class and for clubs. Stay tuned for those projects!! Thanks for stopping by.
