Tricia's Stamping Creations: Stamping With Friends Retiring Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Retiring Blog Hop as we share projects and ideas featuring products that are retiring from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Our Design Team Members will be showcasing a variety of products that we are saying goodbye to and showing them some love one last time before they disappear. The products on the Last Chance Retirement List are available only while supplies last or until May 2nd, so make sure to place your order for your favorites before time runs out.

For my card design today, I decided to showcase products from the retiring In The Wild Suite. I love cats, so this suite is one of my favorites and I am sorry to see these products retire. My design is a clean and simple card featuring the beautiful In The Wild Designer Series Paper combined with the Wild Cats Bundle. I love that there are dies in the bundle that can die cut out certain images in the designer series paper. I chose to die cut one of the beautiful tigers to create the focal image for my card. This monochromatic design would be perfect for the cat lover in your life or as a masculine birthday card.

This clean and simple card designer is easy to assemble and requires just a few supplies to create. I love the pattern of the designer series paper and how it creates the look of the jungle for the background. I die cut the tiger from the designer series paper with the coordinating die and attached it to the Basic White cardstock circle with Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the Evening Evergreen scalloped circle to the back of the focal circle and attached it to the card front. The sentiment was heat embossed with Silver embossing powder onto the Evening Evergreen sentiment label and attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I chose not to add any embellishments but you could add Linen Thread to dress up the design if you wanted to step it up.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to give the retiring products on the Last Chance List another look before they say goodbye. There are so many wonderful options, some with amazing discounts, to help you with your creative needs.
