Hello and welcome. Today I want to show you a card using the Needle and Thread stamp set and talk colour coordination. You may have noticed that I have been doing a series of posts around the Needle and Thread suite, and most of the cards have used the same colours. Each card has had at least that same core colour with a few others added at times. I will do this for several reasons, but more on that after you have seen todays card.

Needle and Thread
Hello and welcome. Today I am again showing you a card created using the Needle and Thread stamp set. Sometimes I like to do a series on a product as it highlights the versatility of the product more than just a single sample. Some people might like the design when they see a particular card but other people might not. But those other people may see a couple of other samples and one they might really like. We all have different tastes, so I like to give you lots of samples in different styles.

Needle and Thread
Hello and welcome. Continuing on my series using the Needle and Thread stamp set today. I love a stamp set that is versatile. And this one is just that. The range of occasions you can use this set for is amazing. Not only does it come with the Get Well sentiment and friends statement that I have shown you so far, but it also includes the sweetest little birthday stamp. It was perfect for this unique card.

Needle and Thread
Hello and welcome. Today I thought I would continue on with the Needle and Thread cards that are in my current Online Class offering. There are only a few days left to register, so I thought I would share with you some of the cards included in the class. If you can't make it to a class, or you just prefer to craft in your own time, then online classes are perfect for you.

Needle & Thread
Hello and welcome. I have another retiring stamp set to showcase today. Needle & Thread. This is a special stamp set in that it is photopolymer and distinctive. So it lays the ink down to give a photo realistic impression. Very clever. Plus the subject matter is very near and dear to many card makers who also have other crafting hobbies. I don' think I have met a card maker yet who doesn't have at least one other crafty hobby.

Favourite Retiring Stamp Sets
Hello and welcome. Today it is time for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop. The theme for this hop is our Favourite Retiring Stamp Sets. I have so many favourite sets that are leaving, it was hard to pick. So instead I went for one I loved but haven't used a lot.

Sitting Pretty
Hello and welcome. Today I am featuring a retiring stamp set on my card, Sitting Pretty. Like many of my stamp sets, this one didn't get a lot of use. It wasn't because I didn't like it, it's more because I had so many stamp sets to use and just didn't get around to using it very often. Do you ever do that? Have to have something but then let it sit unloved. Well I decided to show this set some love and made this card.

Incredible Like You
Hello and welcome. Today I have a card to share with you that uses the retiring Incredible Like You stamp set. But when you look at the card it won't be very obvious that I have used that set. Sometimes I like to look at a set and work out a non obvious way to use it. Todays card was the result of that.

Beautifully Detailed Meets Floral Romance
Hello and welcome. Today I have a scrap page to share with you of my late Nana. She was a very special person to me, so when I recently came across this photo of her, I knew I had to use something very special on the page. I actually used two special products, but more on that later, first here is the page.

Last Chance
Hello and welcome. It is an exciting day here. That's because the lists are out of what is retiring. Retiring products are those products that are not going to be in the new upcoming catalogue. This can be sad as some favourites are going away, but it is exciting too as it means we are making room for some wonderful new products. It's your last chance to own your favourites.

The Shelli Paper Pumpkin Kit
Oh My! I am beyond excited. Shelli Gardner, the Co-Founder of Stampin' Up! has designed a Pumpkin Paper paper crafting box. I absolutely love her style. It is so vintage, feminine, and so so gorgeous. She describes the contents of this kit as "A touch of earthy and elegant spring with lots of layers and textures."

First Communion
Hello and welcome. Today I have a card to share with you that ended up completely different to how it started. I knew I wanted to showcase some of the retiring colours and also to follow on using the Florentine Filigree stamp set that I had used on a card the other day. I thought that while the stamp set was still on my desk, I may as well use it for another project.

Florentine Filigree
Hello and welcome. Today's card has been a long time coming. I have had my eye on the Florentine Filigree bundle for a long time. For as long as the Occasions Catalogue has been in publication actually. But I have only recently purchased it. So this idea for this card has been waiting in my head all that time. I am surprised I still managed to remember what I wanted to do.
