Hello Fellow Stampers ~~
Oh My! I'm tired!! That's all I can say for it!! LOL This moving thing is HIGHLY overrated -- LOL
Things continue to progress and come along. I'm looking forward to being able to move and unpack into the new studio ~ that's for sure!!!
We continue my focus today on soon retiring products - and this card has quite a few!
Starting with the stamp set - Loyal & True.
Now normally I would have tried to have this design up for Memorial Day; but as I said earlier this week, best laid plans!! LOL And I believe every day we should remember our veterans, and especially those who gave all in service to our country. This stamp set is sadly retiring; and I just feel it is so important to have a stamp set like this around for those opportunities when you have a family member, loved one, friend, or even acquaintance that you want to take the time to send a thoughtful card or note.
I chose a "brighter" blue for this card -- Blueberry Bushel with Real Red for a nice bright vibrant combination. And of course, a little Whisper White!
The background Real Red is embossed with a soon retiring textured impressions embossing folder - Simple Stripes. This is a wonderful embossing folder for simple backgrounds -- don't miss it!!
The layers are wrapped with 1/8" Blueberry Bushel Grosgrain Ribbon and a "non-feminine" faux bow -- LOL
I punched some stars using the Twinkle Builder Punch and attached them with Fine-Tip Glue scattered across the background.
The lighting kind of changed things on me a little bit -- but the soldier is actually stamped in Mossy Meadow for a nice deep green look.
I then fussy cut our hero out and popped him with dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink on Whisper White cardstock, and then punched with the 1-1/2" circle punch.
Then I created layers using the soon retiring 1-3/4" circle punch; and the 2" circle punch.
If you've been waiting to finish out your circle punch collection, and don't have the 1-3/4" circle -- get it today!!! Don't miss out!!
I finished the inside, leaving plenty of space for a personal note; and using this wonderful sentiment of thanks.
Don't miss out on soon Retiring Products!!

The Fine Print:
As of the new Annual Catalog - ALL Wood Mount and Clear Mount stamp sets will be a thing of the past! Stamp sets that are being carried forward in the new Cling Mount format, are indicated on the "Retiring List" as "returning in cling mount" - if it does not say anything, the stamp set is retiring totally.
If you see the words "will no longer be bundled" - this means you can still get the stamp set and the die set in the next catalog - just not at the discounted bundled price!!
All products are available "while supplies last" or until June 3rd - whichever comes first!!
Hugs, . . .
