So Long Old Favourites ESAD Blog Hop




Welcome to yet another wonderful ESAD blog hop!
I am so lucky to be in this group of talented demonstrators (friends) and I hope that you enjoy all our projects using items retiring from the Annual and Occasions catalogues .


Welcome from Shannon's page

hmmm which set to choose that is retiring??? There are so so many......

Well I remembered I made this gorgeous card for a custom order at the end of last year and I haven't blogged it so here it is!





This is the gorgeous Hostess Set Hand Delivered and although the set looks a bit girly I transformed it to make a male card for a student graduating primary school from his family.
If you look closely his name is also made with a retiring letter set that I use all the time and love called Labeler Alphabet! I'm sad but excited for new goodies to play with.

The stamparatus definitely came into effect here!
I stamped and fussy cut all of the books to adhere to the main card.

  • Stamps: Hand Delivered & Labeler Alphabet
  • Ink:  Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and Memento Black 
  • Card: Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green and some of the Botanical Butterfly DSP (from saleabration)
  • Tools: Layering Oval Framelits with the bigshot and Stampin Blends in pretty much all colours
  • Embellishments: - Dimensionals 

      While I am here I actually did make another that I haven't blogged yet either and these sets are also retiring. (one from the Occasions Catalogue and one from the Annual)





      When my neighbour passed away last November I got to know his daughter who lives over East. She was having a big birthday when she was going home so I made this special card for her.

      Jar of Love is most definitely going to be another set that I will miss (but not part with)


      • Stamps: Jar of Love and Bloom by Bloom
      • Ink:  Stayzon, Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick, Night of Navy and Grapefruit Grove
      • Card: Whisper White, Lovely Lipstick, vellum, Grapefruit Grove and Happiness Blooms DSP
      • Tools: Everyday Jars Framelits, Bouquet Bunch Framelits & Layering Ovals with the Bigshot
      • Embellishments: - Dimensional, Grapefruit Grove Ribbon and Clear Rhinestones
