Sort of TBT with Number of Years

I wanted to quickly share a few cards I made yesterday with a new stamping friend :-D While you can still purchase the Number of Years stamp set and coordinating Large Numbers Framelits, the Designer Series Papers and ribbons/twine on the following cards are retired from the recent 2016 Occasions catalog. I don't like to get you all excited about stuff I can't sell you anymore, but all the inks and card stocks and punches and stuff I used are still available, so I think you can still at least use these layout ideas:

Oh, and in the new 2016-17 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, you can get an alphabet in the same style--Letters for You stamp set--and a coordinating set of Large Letters Framelits! {TIP: buy the Letters for You BUNDLE and get both the stamp set AND the framelits at 10% OFF!}

By the way, these cards were inspired by designs from other demonstrators...my new stamping friend's daughter sent me pictures of a few cards she made with a demonstrator on the East Coast, and she asked if I could make them here in Colorado Springs with her mom. It was a fun way to spend a few hours, and to christen my as yet uninked Number of Years stamp set!

P.S.: I tried a little different setup for my photos on this post... leave a comment and tell me if you like the cleaner look!

Throwback Thursday: 2004 and Eyelets

I know, it's still Wednesday, but I came across these old card pictures on my hard drive that it looks like I scanned in 2004...and I just had to put them up NOW. Lol. The first couple of them are kinda small and will have to stay that way so I don't pixelate them, but I think you can still see the details. You should be able to click on the rest of them to see them larger if you want.

Hahahaaaaa! I guess I had to use eyelets on EVERY card!!! Actually, it was pretty cool because we had assortments of eyelets for each of our color families. And then we had some fun shapes like the stars, and I also remember some square and triangle eyelets in addition to the round ones. We also had some color coordinated wire--check out the squiggle on the bottom dragonfly card, it's got a 3D wire squiggle for flair. You can also see other fun "retro" details like using the crimper, deckle scissors, raffia, and the background of the horse card is a roller wheel. (yes, I still have the set and roller wheel. no, I'm not selling them.) And you are a die-hard Stampin' Up! fan if you can name some of the retired colors on these cards ;-)
