Using up some of my old stash....lots more to go.

For some reason I've been doing a lot of little stampin projects.  Been making ATC's, 3x3, tags .... little things like that.  I haven't had a lot of time at once to sit down and stamp so that's what i come up with.   I've also been using some of my old stuff/retired stuff.  It actually feels good to be using it. I'd buy all this paper and then it was too awesome to cut....so there it would sit and never get used.  Now I have too much stuff and need to start making room for new stuff.  Running out of storage space.  Here are some of the one's I've done.

All Images (C) Stampin' Up!

 I was going through some of my older stuff and found some rub-ons that I thought would look cute on something... Didn't know what I was going to do with them at first but this is what I came up with.  Didn't quite turn out how I had planned but it works.  I used Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Bordering Blue and Almost Amethyst.

Got a couple more, but I'll share those tomorrow.  Gonna' go roast some hot dogs with the family.  Thanks for stopping by.

Using my old stash...

I keep telling myself to use some of my old stuff and then maybe sell the cards or something. But I just never get around to it.

Well, my daughter (3 years old) is always looking for stickers of some sort...if it won't stick she will put glue on the back of whatever it may be. In her search for stickers (while I was at work) she found my old stash of Accents and Element Tins. I think they're the first ones Stampin' Up!(R) came out with in one of the mini catalogs. Well I never used them...they were too cute and didn't want to use them up and then need them for some other project....so there they sat.

When I got home from work I saw the stickers sitting on my table, so I decided to make something with them and of course she made something too. Both my girls love to stamp with me!!! :)

So this is what I ended up with:

Since I was using retired stuff, why not use a retired stamp set?! So I grabbed an old Hostess set Happiness Always. This stamp set has always been one of my favoites, but never got to use it all that much. I ended up using the colors from the little label (not sure what to call it) to make the card. I knew I wanted to use the label for the sentiment, so I just went from there. I knew that I'd need a smaller sized focal image to get the sentiment to fit over top the main image. If that makes sense?!

I used Chocolate Chip as the base and layered it with some Perfect Plum cardstock. I stamped the stem and flower image from the set to make the flower in the background.

I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the sentiment onto the label. I cut a piece of Mellow Moss to layer the sentiment label and set that a side while I worked on the main image.

I grabbed some White Cardstock and stamped the butterfly image from the set in Pale Plum and Perfect Plum and another in Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke.

Before I adhered everything I tied some Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon around the card. Adhering the focal image over the ribbon with dimensionals. I also popped up the sentiment...using one over the main image and two on top of one another on the other side of the label. If that makes sense?! Doing that just made it so it was even on both sides.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed my card!

I stamped a card finally! :) I do have to thank my secret sister for the layout of the card and a piece of paper I found that I had written a color combo on a while ago...don't even remember where I got the color combo. But I love how this card turned out...too bad I'm tired and don't have enough energy to stamp another card tonight. Well I'm sure I can get the energy (can you ever run out of "stamping energy"?) but I don't think my brain is up to it. :) I don't even know why I'm typing this before I head to bed....oh I know! Because I'm SOOOOOO excited that I actually got a card done! I actually stamped! Yeah! Okay...now you guys know I'm really tired I keep rambling on and on...okay time for me to go to bed. I hope you enjoy the card! Thanks for stopping by.
