Up, Up & Away

This week I’ll be posting cards on some of the stamp sets that will be retiring at the end of May.  So make sure you come back and see some of the creations you can do with these stamps.  I made this card for my dad’s birthday using the very versatile Lovely As A Tree Stamp set and Up, Up & Away Stamp set.  I liked the fact that the sentiment fit right on the balloon.  One of my dreams is to go up in one of these balloons someday!  I’ve come close to it, but haven’t yet.

Do you agree with me?  Sometimes there are stamps you see and right away you know you want it like this Up, Up & Away stamp that will be retiring soon. Then there are those that you don’t think much of until you see what someone has created with it and then you have to have it! Has that happened to you before?  Click here to see the French Foliage stamp – one of those sets I didn’t think I wanted that is also retiring.  I won this set at a Stampin’ Up! Regional event two years ago (one of the perks of being a demonstrator!) and absolutely love it and have used it over and over!!!

Which stamp set did you know you had to have and which one are you still on the fence?  Leave me a comment.

Till next time . . . have a blessed day!
