Going Places, Going and Gone

The hardest part about retired lists are seeing some of you favorite products gone for good.  And it's really difficult when you know you are a craft supply hoarder and you are afraid to use it when you go it.  I'm really working to stop my hoarding and share what I love with those I love so this project applies to both goals.

These little love notes were created for my husband.  Every year for Valentine's Day, I make little notes and hide them so that he can find them at home and work through the day.  Since the holiday fell on Saturday, I enlisted my daughter to help me hide them in places he likes to go.  I about died when she put the first one on the toilet seat!  :)

These cards are all 6 x 3 and folded in half to make a typical love note size. 

 
Callie also made one for her dad.  Isn't it cute?

 
Supplies
  • Cardstock: Going Places DSP Stack (retiring), Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
  • Ink: Memento Black
  • Stamp Sets: Going Global (retiring)
  • Accessories: 2" Circle Punch, 2 1/2 Circle Punch (retiring), 1" Circle Punch, Delightful Dijon 1" Dotted Trim (retiring), Home for the Holidays Enamel Dots (retired), gold thread, dimensionals, scissors, and adhesive

The 6 x 6 pages work great with our envelope punch board to make great envelopes to go with these cards!


His final present was a shadow box using scraps of paper on the glass and my favorite stamp from the Going Global stamp set.  My husband, an engineer by day and musician by night, is a little figety so I put a surprise in there.  I punched out a bunch of hearts using our small heart punch and wrote 831 on many of them - our code for "I love you".  So now he can shake the frame when he needs an outlet and be showered in love.  :)

Retiring Products 2016

Some of you may have thought I retired considering how long it has been since I did a blog post!  I am still here - just really involved with volunteering and teaching lately and haven't had words left over to put down on my blog! 

During Sale-a-Bration, I had two great women join my team and I'm excited to start having monthly meetings again to offer them ideas and to keep me inspired with their creativity as well!

This is one of the make-n-takes we did at our meeting to capture the essence of the SU! Retired lists as it has retiring colors, designer papers, embellishments, tools, and stamps.  This card was based on a design from Ronda Wade that was a part of her framelit class.  The goal of the make-n-takes at my monthly downline meetings is to show a technique or product that can be adapted easily into a class or personal crafting and this project fit that bill!  Plus it's just cute I think!


Supplies:
  • Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss (retiring), Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Typeset Speciality Designer Paper (retiring)
  • Ink: Blackberry Bliss (retiring)
  • Stamp Set: And Many More (retiring)
  • Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats and Multi-purpose Platform, Decorative Dots TIEF (retiring), Very Vintage Designer Buttons (retiring), Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Scissors, and Adhesive
