So I just want to talk about this retired list one more time 🙂 . I did say that the list was huge and I did post different category links to help break it down a little, but I think it is worth noting and clarifying the confusion regarding the bundles!!! There are almost 20 bundles …
Basket Bunch Bundle… so cute for Easter week! 🙂 This is all Basket Bunch stamps and dies layered on a checkered piece of DSP from Succulent Gardens in the Sweet Sugarplum color. I cut a few squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies and ran an aqua pen with some Sweet Sugarplum ink over them …
This Succulent Garden DSP is truly compatible with just about any stamp set. (FYI: The Succulent Garden DSP is on the retiring list. As of today, it was available and the price is discounted!) I used this DSP with both the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the Everyday Jars Framelit Dies for the Mint Macaron …
Since the retiring list is a bit long, I’ve broken it down for you here: Enjoy! SharePinTweet0 Shares

I was having so much fun with this color blocking technique, that I just kept going. This one ended up being a cute little birthday card. Check out my separate blog post with a tutorial on this very cool and super simple watercolor block technique. 🙂 I love how the colors of the Serene Scenery …
I think this Dragonfly Dreams set was just made to pair up with the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper! Super simple to put this together with layers of glimmer paper, an embossed (Hexagon Embossing Folder) layer and the beautiful dragonfly as the focal image! I used a sentiment from the Suite Sentiments stamp set. This glimmer …
