Two cards using more of the Sweet Sorbet designer series paper from SU.

This card has a little story behind it.  Normally I keep my Stampin' Up card stock in the original package that it comes in.  But I had some odd pieces of this "green" card stock held together with a paper clip.  I had no idea what color it was.  It is similar to some other colors but definitely not the same.

I pulled out the few pieces of dsp from the retired Sweet Sorbet collection and decided it was time to get more of it used.  Fortunately I had saved the piece that comes with dsp showing the name of of the papers AND the name of the colors.  The color is Pistachio Pudding!  It has been discontinued for a long time but luckly I even still had the ink pad which was well inked!  Chalk up a WIN!

LONG RETIRED SWEET SORBET DSP

Another card I made after watching one of Rita Holmes videos on Facebook.  Not one of my favorite results, but I thought I would show it anyway.  It is a fun layout to use with circle punches or dies. And the plus side of this one is that it used up more of  long retired dsp!

CHEERFUL DAISIES

Daisies have always been one of my favorite flowers.  They just seem so happy.  When Stampin' Up! came out with the Cheerful Daisies I definitely wanted the stamps, dies and paper.  I like most of the papers in the collection.  This sheet isn't at the top of the list but I added the die cut spray of daisies on top and that helped.  Unfortunately I still have too much of the paper left!

DSP FROM WAY BACK!

Several times I nearly threw away the two pieces of this dsp that has been haunting my supplies.  I suddenly decided that it could be used on Lost Lagoon card stock.  The layout works so well for so many cards.  I had a full 6 x 6 piece so I cut it into three pieces measuring 5 1/4 x 2 and will be using it into kit for two friends and myself to make together.

I no longer have to see that paper tormenting me!  lol

Rita Holmes did a Facebook video on July 14th showing a card made like this.  I'm trying really hard to use old - sorry, I mean retired - paper.  This was one of the first I ran across in my stash.  It uses the smallest  shape in the arch set.

The card below is actually the first one I made.  I had cut the three arch pieces and realized that the pieces would be upside down due to the Daffodil design.  I like the pieces on the left side as well.

Each of the cards have three gold metal little butterflies as an embellishment.

A SPANNER FOLD

The two side sections are connected with the Happy Birthday strip.  When you flip it up, the middle section then also flips up for a sentiment or message.

 This looks like such a fun little cottage to sit back, relax and read a good book.
