Say Goodbye: To A Cardinal Christmas!

Here we go again with deep breathing….! This cardinal is one of my FAVORITE Christmas Stamp Sets EVER! He's just so elegant. He is going to be missed BIG TIME by me….. Are you going to miss him? Or are you going to buy him before he's gone so that you don't HAVE to miss him!? Here are a bunch of cards I've received over the years using this little guy (the one on the bottom right hand corner was hand stamped by THE Shelli Gardner herself!!! You can bet that one is going in a frame after this!)

The item code for this stamp set is #111760 and the set is $23.95 and available in wood mount.  If you're a Newsletter subscriber – don't forget that you can buy 3 retiring sets and get the 4th of equal or lesser value at 50% off!

You can order this stamp set along with many other retiring products at my online store and start earning Aly's Online Ordering Rewards today!

Motif Birthday Wishes

I made this card a while back as a birthday card for a good friend and downline member. Forgot to post it way back when, so here it is today! Her favorite thing is flourishes – so I had to be sure to get a flourish image in the card.

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This unique layout came from an old Stampin' Up! Catalog and I changed up the colors, images, etc. Whenever I hit a mental road block with design work, I love pulling out old catalogs to get a layout. If I can start with a layout as the foundation, the rest comes!
• Regal Rose, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla make up this subtle but rich color combination.
• The pearl at the bottom of the twill tape as a touch of bling to the card without pulling in glitter. Both the pearl from the pretties kit and this width of Twill Tape will be retiring from this catalog on June 30th – be sure to order them while you still can!
• For even faux stitch spacing as shown around this card, pull out the Mat Pack and Paper Piercer!
