I found a fun card idea to use up Washi Tape! Of course now I can't find it again to give credit to whomever came up with the idea. But thank you! I love it!

Happy Celebrations Balloon Adventures Celebrations Duo Embossing Folders
I'm so happy that Happy Celebrations and the Celebrations Duo Embossing Folders are in the new 2017-18 Annual Catalog! They were some of the first things I ordered from the Occasions Catalog. Sometimes the card stock will "crack" when it's embossed with the folders, but I had heard that using the Thick Whisper White helped. Here are the results of my experiment:
Regular Whisper White card stock. You can see the "cracks" around HAPPY. Stamping over them really makes them show up.
Thick Whisper White card stock. Still a few lines, but not as noticeable, so it does help!
You could also spritz your card stock with a little bit of water to soften the fibers before you put it in the embossing folder.
Colors: Basic Black, Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White

What The Retiring List Looks Like For Me
I've been pulling all the items that I have that are retiring from my stash so I can use them before they're gone. I thought I would show you what this looks like. Here's my list- each highlighted line is something I own that's retiring:
Here are all my stamps that are retiring:
And all the tools and embellishments:
Then there is the InColor inks and refills, and all of the paper products, which I didn't take a picture of as I'm still using them. Out with the old to make room for the new!
I found this on Facebook and thought it was appropriate, especially for this time of year!
The link for the Retiring List post is at the top right corner of my blog as the Featured Post. You can click there to see the list by category (stamps, inks, papers, etc.). As things are selling out, I'm crossing them off the list.

Darla's Beautiful You Affectionately Yours Swap
Here is Darla's second swap for OnStage. Aren't these cool?

This is called Paper Piecing- you stamp the image on Designer Series Paper and cut out part of the image, then add it over the image stamped on card stock.

SNEAK PEEK: This Little Piggy
We had our April Stamp Share Tuesday night. As usual, we had a swap, but Betty challenged us not to use anything that was retiring. So that meant no Designer Series Paper, as nothing current is carrying over. And very limited ribbon, as I only have 3 that are carrying over. I decided to use a new set that we received at OnStage called This Little Piggy.
Colors: Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Whisper White
Yes, I cut out all those little piggies! 12 of each!
They were so cute I had to take pictures of them before I put them on the cards!
I love the tails!

They come in 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8", in silver or gold.

The image of the fox and banner are not stamped, They're cut from the Designer Series Paper. With the framelits! Yes!

The fox is attached with Dimensionals and the end of the banner is not attached so it can be slightly curled.
