May Pals Blog Hop






Thank you for joining us for the May Pals Blog Hop and our annual retirement party! It's time to say goodbye to stamps and accessories that will not be available in the new  2013-14 Stampin' Up! catalog. Although it's always sad to see wonderful products retire, it is exciting to think about all of the new products that will soon be available. So enjoy the farewell tour for our favorite retiring products - and remember you have until June 3rd to order from the retiring product lists.
 I am the 1st stop on the hop today.  You should have just left stop number 31 on the Pals Hop - Elaine Fleming at Studio Elaine. If so, you are in the right spot.  If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

 My project today uses several retiring products.  Nature Walk and Friendly Phrases are stamp sets I will miss.  Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy have been two of my go-to colors.  HOWEVER, the new catalog has so much to look forward to. . . 


The En Francais background stamp was embossed with White embossing powder on Whisper White Cardstock.  I used sponge daubers to apply Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze ink to make a soft background for my card base.  The sentiment, bird, flower, and birdcage images were stamped with Early Expresso on Very Vanilla.  I used Sticky Strip to adher the Baja Breeze Seam Binding to the card.  The Designer Builder brad adds more detail.  I used a mix of Champagne Mist Glimmer Paint and alcohol in one of Stampin' Up's wonderful spray bottles to add a glitz to this project.
