Rockabilly Bye-Bye

The release of the “Last Chance List” has everyone scrambling to purchase our “soon-to-be-retired” favorites. I fell in love with Kiwi Kiss the moment I saw it, and the same was true with the Rockabilly Designer Series Paper collection. However, I knew that this affair would eventually have to end. Not wanting to sound fickle, I am already falling in love with the new In-Colors and Designer Series Papers, and during the next few weeks I will be introducing you to the newest members of the Stampin’ Up! color family. However, before I abandon them completely, I want to spend another moment with my old “friends”, featuring them in my interpretation of Splitcoast Sketch 231. Alas, alas! Parting is such sweet sorrow…
  • Make a standard card base from Kiwi Kiss.
  • Cut two strips of “Cherries on White” and one strip of “Cherries on Black” paper from the Rockabilly Designer Series Paper. Mat onto Riding Hood Red and adhere to the card base as illustrated.

  • Ink the “What Can I Say…” sentiment from the Very Versatile stamp set with Basic Black and stamp onto Whisper White.

  • Using the Photo Corners Punch, punch a Riding Hood Red and a Kiwi Kiss corner, and attach to the sentiment block. Mat onto Basic Black. (Tip: To add interest, I adhered the larger Riding Hood Red corner to the back of the sentiment, and the smaller Kiwi Kiss corner to the front.)

  • Adhere a snippet of 1/4″ Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon as illustrated. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, position and adhere the sentiment block. (Tip: To accentuate the Kiwi Kiss corner, and direct the eye to the sentiment, I added three black non-Stampin’ Up! rhinestones.)

If you love Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, and Rockabilly Designer Series Paper as much as I do, please order today! Items from the Last Chance Accessories List are selling out quickly.

Kindred Spirits…Part Two

The Kindred Spirit stamp set possesses a Zen-like quality. Although I often use the stamp featured as a background, I occasionally like to use it as a focal image, such as with today’s card. This set includes two sentiments, “With Sympathy” and “Kindred Spirits”. Just what is a “kindred spirit” you ask? A kindred spirit is “someone who feels and thinks the way you do”. Are you my kindred spirit? You just might be if you love this fabulous Designer Series Paper, Bella Birds.

  • Make a standard card base from “Pink and Gray Floral” Bella Birds Designer Series Paper and score at the top.

  • Ink the Floral stamp from Kindred Spirits with Chocolate Chip ink and stamp onto Very Vanilla card stock. Mat onto the Chocolate Chip selection from Bella Birds.

  • Add a snippet of “Pretty in Pink” Taffeta Ribbon for a spot of color. Attach to the card base.

  • Ink the “Kindred Spirit” sentiment with Chocolate Chip and stamp onto Very Vanilla. Mat onto Pink and Gray Floral Bella Birds Designer Series Paper. Position and adhere to the card as illustrated.

  • I also randomly placed small rhinestone flowers on the image for a little “bling”!
