This week at Sisters in Stamping we are focusing on retiring stamp sets. I picked a card that I made for my Stamp a Stash class last night (everyone in attendance got to make four of these cards and changed the greetings to their needs).
I used the You're my Type set from the Occasions Mini as my primary focus for this card. But just behind my typewrite is a stamp called A to Z, which is a great mini background stamp and it's also retiring. It's so fun for so many different things. Great for kids cards and it was just screaming to be used on this card too. (Or I thought it was screaming to me, lol)
This was a pretty easy card to make multiples of. There's a lot of layers, yes, but nothing on this card is difficult to duplicate over and over.
In my humble little opinion, I like how the stamped alphabet background and the First Edition (typed paper) look like it was paper that came out of the typewriter and it's being thrown in the background. (I know, I really amuse myself).
Don't forget to check out the retiring stamp list and the retiring accessory list. Remember the accessories are on a first come, first serve, once they're gone, they're gone basis. So you won't want to wait if you just NEED to have something that is on there.
