Today's the last day to order from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. So I'm sending this catty off with a card using Boho Backgrounds and The Write Stuff Specialty DSP-one of my favorites! I also used Splitcoast sketch 286 here but I just flipped the sketch.
I started with a card stock base of retiring Ruby Red and added the dotted DSP. Then, there's also strips of Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Soft Suede DSP from The Write Stuff Specialty pack. And, there's even a die cut from The Write Stuff. I colored the dots and "wonderful friend" with Soft Suede and Ruby Red Stampin write markers and stamped onto that die cut. I added three Ruby Red brads to the Crushed Curry piece, an Old Olive button from the Playground Designer buttons and a piece of 1/2 inch Soft Suede polka-dot grosgrain ribbon. Good bye to the old but can't wait for all the new goodies!
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Boho Backgrounds
Papers: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Ruby Red, Soft Suede, The Write Stuff Specialty DSP
Inks: Ruby Red and Soft Suede Stampin' write markers
Accessories: 1/2 inch Soft Suede polka-dot grosgrain ribbon, Ruby Red brads, Playground designer buttons, Stamp-a-ma-jig

More Last Chance Stamp sets & Accessories
Tomorrow is the last day to order from the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog. I used some retiring DSP, retiring accessories and the stamp set Think Happy Thoughts on this card. I also made it for the Stamping 411 sketch #157 here.
I started with a card stock base of Sahara Sand and ran it thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. The paisley paper is from To the Nines Specialty DSP. I stamped "happy birthday" in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White and punched that out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. I added a piece of Chocolate Chip punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. I then punched a piece of Sahara Sand with the 1 3/4 inch circle punch and poked some holes with the paper-piercing tool. A Sahara Sand piece is punched with the Small star punch and a Circle Designer brad fit the center. Finally, a piece of 1/4 inch Chocolate Chip grosgrain finishes it all off.

Father's Day Cards with Travel Journal DSP
Here's a trio of Father's Day cards I made using the Travel Journal DSP and the All Holidays and Holiday Blitz stamp set.
I think these papers are perfect for masculine cards! For each one I stamped "Happy Father's Day" twice then cut out the "father's" sentiment in the second color. And on two cards I added the tie from Holiday Blitz.
I know my husband, my dad and my brother won't be checking out my blog today so I figured I'd be safe posting them.
Here's the recipe:
Stamps: All Holidays and Holiday Blitz
Papers: Whisper White, Kraft, Bashful Blue, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie and Travel Journal DSP
Inks: Bashful Blue, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: 3/4 inch circle punch, 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain, 1/2 inch striped Pumpkin Pie grosgrain, paper piecing tool, Stampin dimensionals

Stamping 411#155 Father's Day
This is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch #155 here.
I need a few Father's Day cards for this Sunday so I used the stamp from All Holidays and the little tie from the soon to retire set, Holiday Blitz. The DSP is Travel Journal DSP from the Summer Mini. I stamped the "Happy Father's Day" twice, once in Pumpkin Pie then again in Night of Navy and cut out the "Father's" portion and popped it up with a Stampin dimensional.
I stamped the tie in Pumpkin Pie and adhered that onto a 3/4 inch punched circle of Night of Navy.

Big Shot Scallop Envelope Treats
I made these treats plus more using the retired Summer Picnic DSP for the gals on my Home & School Board.
I got the idea from Splitcoast Stampers here.
I started by cutting 2 pieces each of Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red card stock from the Scallop Envelope die. Then I ran each piece thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dots textured impressions folder. To make the little box that fits 2 Ghirardelli chocolate squares, cut the bottom of each envelope down to 1/2 inch and adhere the sides and bottom. Then I punched the top with the Word Window punch. Tart and Tangy images were stamped in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red. The images were punched out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and layered onto card stock punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. "Thank you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped then punched out with the Word Window punch. Finally, pieces of 1/2 inch Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red striped grosgrain ribbon were tied on each box. The girls just loved them!

SC282 Retiring Razzleberry Lemonade and One of a Kind
This card showcases the soon to be retired Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and One of a Kind stamp set. And I used the Splitcoast sketch #282 from last week. I'll be sad to see these both go!
I started by coloring the flowers with the Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry markers and stamping them on Whisper White card stock. Then I colored the Razzleberry one again and punched it out with the coordinating Boho Blossoms punch and popped it up with a Stampin dimensional. I stamped the little flower line on the bottom in Melon Mambo. I added a gold brad to the center of the Curry flower and a Circle Fire Rhinestone brad to the center of the Mambo flower. A piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/2 inch polka-dot grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: One of a Kind
Papers: Whisper white, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP
Inks: Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry Stampin write markers, Melon Mambo classic ink pad
Accessories: Boho Blossoms punch, 1/2 inch Rich Razzleberry polka-dot grosgrain, gold brad, Circle Fire Rhinestone brad, Stampin dimensionals

An Inspiration Challenge and Sketch and Retiring Products
Today's card is for PPA#45 Inspiration Challenge here, Splitcoast sketch #283 here, and to showcase a few Stampin UP! products on the Last Chance lists and a returning In Color.
I started with a card stock base of Kraft (soon to be Crumb Cake) and ran that thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Details texturz plate. Tangerine Tango will be back in the new catty so I used that and some Old Olive Patterns Series DSP. I stamped the sold flower image in Tangerine Tango and used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the other image and stamped that in Basic Black. The row of flowers was stamped in Tangerine Tango too. "Happiness" from Warm Words was stamped in Old Olive. Finally, a piece of Black gingham ribbon that will retire was added to finish it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: A Beautiful Thing and Warm Words
Papers: Whisper white, Kraft, Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive Patterns Series DSP
Inks: Basic Black, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Black gingham ribbon, Perfect Details texturz plate

Stamping 411 Sketch#154 Loads of Love Birthday
Here's a birthday card for my dad that I did for Stamping 411 sketch #154 here.
I started with a card stock base of Old Olive, added a piece of DSP from the Old Olive Patterns DSP and a strip of Chocolate Chip which I pierced with the paper piercing tool. I stamped the truck and accessories in Chocolate Chip and colored them in with blender pens and Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Real Red stampin pads. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red and punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and layered it onto a 1 3/8 inch circle punched from Real Red. Finally, a piece of 1 inch Chocolate Chip double-stitched grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
