This one also uses a DSP that has already sold out (obviously was very popular. It also features a soon to be retired Soft Sky ink/cardstock, Lovely Inside & Out stamp set (144008/144011) and Lovely Words framelits (#143733).

All the cards for my Stamp-A-Stack this month featured soon to be retired products so if there is one you want to recreate, make sure to order products before they’re gone!

I’ve had this retiring Blooms & Wishes set (141784) since it first came out and didn’t really use it until recently.  I can’t believe how versatile it is-love the flowers!  This card also features 2 soon-to be retired inks/cardstocks-Dapper Denim and Peekaboo Peach.

This card based on one by Lisa C featured 3 retiring items and unfortunately the Color Theory DSP just sold out last week-sorry!  The stamp set (Heart Happiness #145769) is still available through at least mid-May so if you like it make sure you order ASAP! Oh-and I also used Glitter Enamel Dots (#144200) which are also on the retiring list…

Decided to make another option of this class project using another pattern of the soon to be retire Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP (145564).  This time I use the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set (143662) for the sentiments.

I had quite a few sheets of this pattern of the soon to be retired Painted With Love Specialty DSP (145580) left over after my Valentines Banner classes so decided to make another version of the card purse project available to class attendees…The bag will hold at least 8 cards and envelopes but for class  project I opted to have 2 each of three card designs  which feature 2 more soon to be retired items– Lovely Inside and Out stamp set (144008/144011) and Lovely Words Thinlits (143733)

The Sweet Soiree DSP used for this project is soon to be retired so order soon! I am offering this project class to my customers this week…

Close up of the bag (sized to hold 6-8 standard cards/envelopes)

Okay so I made one more iteration of this project by request using the Lemon Lime Twist paper…I have a limited amount of class kits left for purchase using several paper options (each kit comes with pre-cut/scored pieces to make one holder w/8cards as well as step by step instructions to complete the project on your own) so you can email me directly for more info….

Last of the samples for this class (details on 3/25 post).  This time I used the Petal Garden DSP stack (6×6 papers).  I also decided that I like the pen on the right side better so the instructions for class will show that option.  Email me privately for project kits by mail option.

Another version using the Tranquil Tide color of Fresh Florals.  See yesterday’s post for details regarding ordering a project kit w/instructions.

I saw a wonderful project by Lyssa Zwolanek using the Fresh Florals papers and decided that I needed to create my own version that holds double the cards.  I had used the pen holder technique over 15 years ago when I created the double notepad tutorial but hadn’t considered adding one to a stationery box/card carrier in the same manner-the final product makes a great gift!

I will be offering this project as a class.  As in my previous specialty project classes attendees will learn how to make best use of one sheet of DSP (or 5-6 pieces of the 6×6 DSP stacks) and some additional cardstock, stamps and embellishments to make the cardholder and 8 coordinating cards and go home with step-by-step instructions on how to recreate on their own afterwards.

And because I know you’ll ask-YES I will offer a by mail kit option (after 3/31) so you can email me privately for details.
