Some Retiring Products on a Mother's Day Card

I used the Freshly Made Sketch#184 here. Another Mother's Day card using some retiring products. The Four Frames stamp set and the Flashback DSP will retire. Not Teeny Tiny Wishes. But the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch are both retiring. The other two punches are not-the Decorative Label punch and the Itty Bitty Accents punches pack.

Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Four Frames and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Papers: VV, Real Red, Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Flashback DSP
Inks: Real Red and Pool Party
Accessories: Decorative Label punch, Itty Bitty Accents punches pack, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, 1/8 inch mini brads, Stampin dimensionals

Wish Big

I made this quick card for the Splitcoast Sketch#340 here.  It uses the stamp sets Four Frames and Pennant Parade and the Just Add Cake DSP.
Wild Wasabi card stock is the base and I added two patterns from the Just Add Cake DSP. I ran a strip of So Saffron thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch. I stamped the frame from Four Frames in Wild Wasabi and used the Decorative Label punch to punch it out. I stamped wish big from Pennant Parade in Peach Parfait and the asterisk in So Saffron, punching it out with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack. I popped the asterisk and the entire Wasabi frame up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, I threaded a Pumpkin Pie Brights Designer Button with a sliver of Wild Wasabi and adhered it with Glue dots.

I used my Marina Mist, Old Olive and Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write Markers to color in the stamp from Four Frames and stamped it on Very Vanilla. I punched it out with the XL Decorative Label punch, trimmed it down and then used that punch again on a piece of Old Olive. I stamped for you from All Holidays in Marina Mist in the center.

Cupcake Birthday

I saw this darling card by Kathleen Hopperstad here, and I had to make my own. I changed it up with different colors and used the new Four Frames stamp set too.
The base is Crumb Cake card stock and I added some Concord Crush card stock then some Blushing Bride DSP from the DSP Pack In-Color. I stamped the cupcake from Create a Cupcake in Concord Crush and Crumb Cake then used the Build a Cupcake XL punch to punch them out. I also punched out the cherry with Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride card stock. The cupcake is popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. I punched a Whisper White circle with the 1 3/4 inch XL Circle punch and added it to a Concord Crush piece punched with the 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch. I stamped the frame from Four Frames in Concord Crush and added the sentiment from Create a Cupcake in Blushing Bride. I punched that out with the XL Decorative Label punch. I colored the flower from Create a Cupcake with my Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write markers and cut it out. Finally, some 1/2 inch Blushing Bride stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
