Welcome! For my first post, I have to have something stamped, AND something stitched, right? First, the stamped...I absolutely fell in love with the Spice Cake DSP. I love the colors and the patterns, and even though it comes as no surprise, I'm still sad it's retiring on May 31. This is a super easy card that uses two different patterns from the Spice Cake DSP, and is topped with a double layered Triple Treat Flower, another retiring stamp. I'm
really sad about that. I love that little flower and the two punches that match it.
And now for the stitched...more Spice Cake! I made this purse with the Spice Cake Designer Fabric, which is NOT retiring! I'm so excited, because I love this fabric and can definitely use it for many other projects. The buttons are some old (and already retired) Stampin' Up buttons in Soft Suede. They were a perfect match, so I had to use them. I used
this pattern, and it was easy to put together. However, this bag is HUGE. It really is more of a bag than a purse. So if you decide to make it, be sure to check the dimensions first. :)
I'll be posting more cards using retiring items, as well as some sneak peaks from the new catalog, which comes out on June 1. It's fabulous!
