Revisiting Age Awareness from Stampin' Up's 2016 Retirement List

Hello,

Today I thought I'd share a few cards I have previously made using a stamp set that is now sadly retiring - Age Awareness. This is a great set for mens cards and it's only £14.00 too ;-) 

To see all retiring products please CLICK HERE

Do you remember this pair of cards? Here I teamed Age Awareness with Be The Star, which is on the retiring list as well :-(

Original Post can be found here

 Ah, I do love a little emboss resist. The sentiment of from Age Awareness but the leaves are from Kinda Eclectic, which is staying :-)
Original Post for this card is here

And one more design for today. This card uses Age Awareness for the tag part but the base uses Dotty Angles which is yet another fab set that is retiring!
You can see the original post here.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed this little trip down memory lane. I'll try and do a few more posts like this (with different sets) over the coming weeks before they all retire!

Please remember to order your favourites before they sell out and are gone forever!

New Stampin' Up! 2015/16 In Colour Cards using Work of Art and Be the Star.

Hi there,

I have a couple of designs of cards today using Work of Art and Be the Star showing off the fabulous new In Colours! As you probably know I was really sad to see the last lot of in colours leave us but I must admit these are all really growing on me now I've had them a few weeks. Take a look at the designs I came up with to show them off...

I used Be the Star for this design - stamped using all 5 colours ;-)

 I popped one of either of these little cards in with each NEW SU! catalogues I sent out.

This version uses Work of Art, 

 You can see my TUTORIAL for how to evenly space your stripes. 

Note: For this design I left a slightly larger gap between the stamped lines than the card in the tutorial.

 And both together.

I do still have a couple of these little cards left so if you want a CATALOGUE please see HERE for how to get your own hard copy :-)

Thanks for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,

Be the Star and Age Awareness stamps by Stampin Up! for an Boys/Mans 18th Birthday ;-)

Hello! 

And happy Saturday to you! Today's card is actually two today as I was playing around with this idea and I was unsure of which layout was going to work to start with. In the end I liked both so I completed the second card to have on hand, ready to be used ;-) But, please be warned, there are quite a lot of pics because of this!

I went with a Wild Wasabi and Night of Navy colour combo for these cards adding a touch of Baked Brown Sugar and either natural chevron ribbon or a burlap banner with gold. Here's a look at these cards together first...

 Now, the first card today is the one I made into the 18th birthday card (obviously, Sarah-Jane!) lol

 I used Gold embossing powder for this sentiment which is from the Age Awareness set. It's a great set as the Happy Birthday sentiment is a good size to become a focal point on a card.

 I die cut the numbers using a retired SU! Bigz die but you could use Perfect Print numbers dies for a similar look. I added a couple of loops of linen thread behind too

TOP TIP: Adhere the numbers using crystal effects and hold in place using pegs/clips until it dries.

 A better picture of the gold embossing, it was lovely and shiny IRL

 Now, card two! It's very similar really. 

Just a slightly different layout and a navy sentiment...

 I added a couple of ribbon loops to the side with staples

 Love gold glimmer paper stars for texture without bulk

 and lastly for today inside both the cards with a touch of decoration to finish :-)

 Well, thanks as ever for stopping by today.

I'll be back tomorrow with a CAS Christmas Card for you!
