This week I am part of a Facebook Live Hop called Live & Inkin’. We are featuring retiring products…giving them some “last minute” love before they are gone for good.
My Live was yesterday. I showed how to make this fun masculine celebratory jean pockets card using the Pocket Full of Sunshine Stamp Set, Night of Navy Cardstock, Cajun Craze Cardstock and Ink, sandpaper, some Metallic Brads, and sponged on Whisper White Craft Ink.
Isn’t it fun!? I love how the pockets are on the INSIDE of the card so that both the left and the right “cheek” of the pants can be viewed at once. This would be an awesome card for a graduation or a birthday. Most of the cards I’ve seen made with this stamp set are either cutesy or feminine. So I wanted to share how versatile this set really is. PLUS if you get this retiring stamp AND the coordinating dies, there is a new “pocket” stamp set that will be available on June 4th in the new catalog that will also work with the dies. And then holy moly!…Just think of all the fun cards and projects you’ll be able to make.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
8” x 5-1/4” scored at 4” and folded in half
3-1/4” x 4-3/4”
Scrap for punching our “belt loop” pieces
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
Cajun Craze Cardstock
Scraps for stamping and cutting sentiment pieces
Copper Foil Sheets
3-3/8” x 4-7/8”
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today! Remember this stamp set (and the Brushstroke Alphabet set) is guaranteed through May 24th and then only available through June 3, 2019 or while supplies last. The dies are carrying over to coordinate with a new pocket set. The stamp sets are different so you will want to have them both!

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
I treated myself to a well-deserved massage yesterday. Ahhh…I had a LOT of stiff muscles, and Kaylene at Advanced Recovery Massage took care of me. During the NFL season she works on the Vikings players, so I had some talented hands working on my back. In fact she did such a great job that I slept almost 12 hours last night and woke up almost two hours ago. (I never sleep until 10!) So… that is my excuse for posting later than usual today. hahaha
I’m going to miss this bundle. I’ve seen so many beautiful cards shared on Pinterest with it. And that embossing folder was one that I used quite often. The stamp set, dies and embossing folder are all retiring and only available until June 3 (or while supplies last).
This would make a great graduation card. Don’t you think? Want to make this card? Here are the details.
Measurements…
Gray Granite Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half
Scrap for die-cutting dream catcher with feathers
Balmy Blue Cardstock
3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
Whisper White Cardstock
Two pieces that are 3-1/8″ x 4-3/8″
Silver Foil Sheets
Scrap for die-cutting dream catcher
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Die-cut dream catchers and connect together with a Glue Dot. Position on one Whisper White layer, but don’t adhere yet. Ink up sentiment stamp. Before stamping towards the top of the Whisper White piece, slide dream catchers out of the way. Stamp sentiment.
Emboss front of Gray Granite card base. Trim up the back layer if necessary. (Embossing may cause your front layer of the card base to shrink up a bit.)
Add the Balmy Blue layer to the front of the card base with Dimensionals, add the stamped Whisper White to the Balmy Blue with SNAIL, and then add the dream catchers with SNAIL.
Add the second Whisper White to the inside of the card using SNAIL.
Color a Frosted Epoxy Droplet with the Dark Balmy Blue Blends Marker, and add to the center of the dream catcher.
That’s it! Super simple. Hmm…I think I may need to make more of them. We have a few graduation cards to send this year.
Have you taken part in my new product shares in the past? Stay tuned. Tomorrow I will let you know the details for the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog along with a few select photos of new products I have in my hands already. You may start signing up right away. Billing will occur on May 28th. The new catalog debuts June 4th.
I’ll also share the retiring Stampin’ Up! product I used to decorate our Easter eggs last weekend AND I’ll share a beautiful new medley of products that will be available May 1st!
