Stampin’ Sunday – Favourite Retiring

May 10, 2020 by Mikaela Titheridge 3 Comments

The Stampin’ Sunday Team are sharing their favourite Retiring items with you today. Honey and Bees are a real favourite of mine so it was of no surprise that Honey Bee would become a favourite.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today to see what my favourite Retiring product is. The Honey Bee became a firm favourite for me but I didn’t start to share my creations until more recently.

Just over a week ago we had a swarm of Bees in a neighbouring garden. It was incredible to see the swarm in action and the number of Bees collected and moved to a new home. This inspired my first card that was really quite simple.

I teamed up both the Honey Bee Stamp Set with another Favourite Retiring set, Label me Bold. When I saw the smudgy image in Label me Bold, it had me think of the swarm, so I stamped it over the Beehive. A little Thank you was all this card needed with a flash of Gold Glimmer paper. Hard to believe but even our Glimmer Papers are retiring. I love these for a little makes a big impact, yet no glittery mess.

This second card started with a Crushed Curry panel that I randomly stamped the flowers on before dry embossing with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Teaming up the same colours and textures as with the first card, I added another flash of Gold Glimmer Paper and Basic Black Cardstock. This Black Twine comes from the Clubhouse suite.

I stepped things right up for this last card and pulled from other die sets. Randomly stamping tone on tone Crushed Curry flowers, I again dry embossed the entire panel with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The Well Written dies were perfect for die cutting the word happy … I mean, Bee Happy was indeed what I was wishing. I loved the texture that these created.

A smooth black satin ribbon and a die cut panel to back the Detailed Gold Glimmer Bee and my card was nearly complete.

There really is somthing about Crushed Curry for me. Never have I liked a yellow tone so much. It’s screamingly rich and bold and works brilliantly with Black and White.

I will indeed be sad to say goodbye to these retiring favourites. The Honey Bee Bundle, Label me Bold and our Glimmer Papers.

Do you like FREE Products? Then you're going to lo Do you like FREE Products? Then you're going to love Sale-a-Bration 2021 and this Oh So Ombre Paper. 

The Black contrast of Simply Succulents looks incredible as an overlay to the Oh So Ombre Papers. I so enjoyed creating these, even if it created rather a mess on the floor of all the bits. These cards were created to send out to a few people who have been on my mind throughout the recent announcement of Lockdown. Wanting to add a little shimmer, I pulled in a touch of Black Glimmer Paper that has just retired but this could easily be switched up with some ribbon or a flash of something else. 

These were designed as part of the new Stamping Inkspiration Blog Hop that went live last night. We were sharing Something New.
