I've recently participated in the Radically Retro Card Swap hosted by Christine Bertram which is held twice a year. This is such a fun event! You can check out information about past events on Christine's blog. Also, she will be posting about the upcoming Card Swap soon!
Cards are made using RETIRED Stampin' Up! products to include layers, ribbon/twine & embellishments. Cardstock, inks & blends can be current, but DSP, Stamp Sets & Dies must be retired. It's a great way to use your stash and/or maybe stamp sets & dies you haven't used much, or at all!
I participated in TWO groups, making 20 cards for each group.
The first card was created using Stampin' Up! Peaceful Moments & Forever Fern Stamp Sets, Tasteful Labels Dies, Forever Flourishing Dies, Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP, Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder along with several other products that I will mention below.
The card base is Cinnamon Cider with a layer of Rich Razzleberry that was embossed using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.
The leaves were die cut using Fine Shimmer Paper. The label was die cut using Tasteful Labels Dies. A Blending Brush and Cinnamon Cider ink added color around the edges.
Cinnamon Cider ink was used to stamp the leaf image on Basic White and die cut.
The ribbon is Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain Polka Dot Ribbon & Braided Linen Trim. The embellishments are sequins from Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack.
Inside my card is a 2" strip of DSP. The sentiment was stamped with Cinnamon Cider ink. Adhesive Sheets were used to die cut the tiny leaf.

My second card was created using Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Stamps & Dies, Favored Flowers DSP (which later showed up in the Clearance Rack, totally out of our control) & Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
Fresh Freesia was used as my card base with Basic White embossed using Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and strips of paper from Favored Flowers DSP.
The flowers were die cut from DSP. The leaves were die cut using Mossy Meadow and the flowers die cut using Fresh Freesia and tucked behind the flower.
The sentiment was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and die cut.
The ribbon is Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim and the embellishments are Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.
Inside is a thin strip of DSP with a fussy cut flower on the bottom and a die cut flower in the upper corner.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
