Welcome to the Blog Tour for May presented by RemARKable Stampers. You'll be seeing lots of ideas using retiring products.
For this month, I decided to focus on the Number of Years Bundle on page 10 of the Occasions Catalog and highlight it with some retiring products. You might spot a couple of sneak peek products from the new catalog too!
First, I made a graduation card for the daughter of one of my cousins. I used the colors on her graduation announcement since those are her school colors. The numbers are actually stamped in Elegant Eggplant, but for some reason they look almost black in the scan.
Uses Number of Years Photopolymer Set and Thoughtful Banners Photopolymer Set plus Elegant Eggplant Classic Stampin' Pad, Elegant Eggplant Card Stock, Very Vanilla Card Stock, Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, SNAIL Adhesive, 2-Way Glue Pen, Tear & Tape Adhesive, Gold Metallic Baker's Twine, Very Vanilla 5/8" Satin Ribbon, 1" Square Punch, Decorative Label Punch, 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch, Curvy Corner Trio Punch, Duet Banner Punch, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, Magnetic Platform, Large Numbers Framelits, Clear-Mount Block A, Clear-Mount Block C, and Clear-Mount Block D.
Next, I created a birthday card to send to a fellow Demonstrator as part of the #imbringingbirthdaysback movement. Are you on my list to receive a hand-stamped birthday card from me?

I combined the retiring Project Life Day to Day Set with the Number of Years Set to make this fun birthday card for a customer. The numbers have some shimmer and shine because I painted them with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
