What’s a retiring “In Color?” Stampin’ Up adds five new colors every year, which last for two years. The five colors from 2018-2020 will be retiring, and the new 2020-2022 colors will be introduced June 3rd. The five retiring colors will be in demand, and there’s a limited supply. If you want ink, paper, pens, and embellishments in these colors, you need to order now while they are available.
Today’s card is featuring the five retiring colors: Blueberry Bushel, Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, and Call Me Clover.
“forget your trebles”
I had fun stamping the treble clef in Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove, and used a Stitched So Sweetly Die for cutting.
Next, I stamped the staff in Memento Black Ink, and cut it to fit the Whisper White layer. Before gluing the layer to the Blueberry Bushel card base, I stamped “forget your trebles” in Call Me Clover Ink. Then, I attached the treble clefs with Dimensionals.
“forget your trebles”.
Don’t you love the sentiment? The Music From The Heart Stamp Set has great images and sentiments. I enjoyed using it to make this clean & simple card featuring the retiring “In Colors.”
My inspiration for the layout was from CAS(E) this sketch.

This image from the Beautifully Braided Stamp Set is one of my “surprise” favorites. I recently purchased it, because my husband said, “I can’t believe you didn’t get that stamp!” So, what’s a girl to do?
Ginko Leaves
Today’s card came together quickly with the ginko leaves, which I stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. I colored the stems with a Light Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend, and added a pop of red with a Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend.
Keeping it simple, I layered this on a Mossy Meadow card base.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. “Your smile brightens my day” is also from the Beautifully Braided Stamp Set.
I used an Ornate Layers Die for cutting, making two cuts for a narrower strip.
My inspiration for the layout was from Freshly Made Sketches.
Better late than never; I love the Arts & Crafts feel of the ginko leaves. I hope you do too! You can see the entire stamp set in my Product List below.

The Timeless Tulip stamp set is great for creating wonderful 3D flowers. There is a Tulip Punch, which really makes things easy, but I cut these by hand.
3D Tulips
First, I stamped two flowers, and four leaves, in Daffodil Delight Ink on Watercolor Paper. I’m calling the ink, “Tulip Delight” for this card. And, I’m turning the leaves into petals, arranged as you see, to make a 3D flower. The Watercolor Paper gives the flowers nice texture.
TIP: I needed to turn two of the petals to the backside, and use a Sponge Dauber to color them, in order to make them fit properly. Isn’t that fun?
Before adding the stems and leaves, I chose background paper from Ornate Gardens DSP, and cut it with an Ornate Layers Die. Beneath it is Whisper White Cardstock, cut with the largest Ornate Frames Die on a Thick Whisper White card base.
The Ornate Gardens DSP is Old Olive with a pretty, gold design, so I wanted to use Gold Foil for the stems and leaves. The leaves were cut with a Bouquet Bunch Die, and the stems are from Sweet Silhouettes Dies.
Last, but not least, “love” is from Well Written Dies, also cut from Gold Foil.
I was inspired by Global Design Project.

Good morning! The sun is shining after days of rain, and flowers are blooming, inside and out!
Abstract Bouquet
My abstract floral bouquet developed, because of this week’s cts challenge.
My colors are from the Paper Players.
The small, medium, and large flowers were cut with Ornate Borders Dies. I used a Sponge Dauber and So Saffron Ink for coloring. The stem was also cut with an Ornate Borders Die, using Gray Granite Cardstock. It’s actually a piece of “waste,” and I saved the complete border for another card.
The “vase” was made with four strips of Whisper White Cardstock, colored with Light and Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. I graduated the color, as in the cts sketch. The strips were cut with the Classic Label Punch, and I snipped the left side.
The background Is Whisper White Cardstock, cut with an Ornate Layers Die, layered on a Seaside Spray card base.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Timeless Tulip Stamp Set, stamped in Gray Granite Ink.

The So Very Vellum is so very pretty, and fun to use. It looks like bubbles on this birthday card, don’t you think?
Birthday Bubbles
I first cut the three colors of vellum with two Layering Circles Dies. Then, I cut an equal amount of Whisper White Cardstock for backing.
TIP: I discovered, if you put tiny dots of glue behind the dots, it doesn’t show at all.
I had fun embossing (Corrugated Embossing Folder) and distressing (used my fingernail) the background, which I glued to a Thick Whisper White card base.
I placed the bubbles and sentiment on Stampin’ Dimensionals, which enhanced the embossed dimension. This card just might fly away!
“Happy Birthday” is from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Dies.
No worries, if you don’t have the So Very Vellum DSP. I bet you can come up with equally stunning paper for this design.
I was inspired by TGIF.
I’m also sharing with Seize the Birthday’s Spring Fling.
