The Last Chance Lists from Stampin' Up! include retiring Stamp Sets, which are available only until June 30th, and retiring Accessories, which are available until June 30th only as supplies last. Check those Last Chance Lists here and be sure you don't miss out on some great retiring stamps! You can order directly from my Stampin' Up! website anytime and be sure to check the Clearance Rack while you're there for some incredible deals!

Here are a couple of projects featuring some of my favorite retiring stamps. Voila is such a fun stamp set - I have just loved this chef dude over the last few years! Here is a gift set we made once, featuring the Voila chef with stamped Coasters and Magnets.

And one of the most beautiful retiring stamp sets this year is Holy Triptych. This is a really simple card featuring the holy family stamp from this set. It is marker colored on the back of the White Embossed image on Vellum Cardstock.

Here is another, older card featuring the Holy Triptych stamp set. Again the image is marker colored and on a simple layout.

Sweet Scoops - Patriotic

How about this patriotic ice cream cone using the Sweet Scoops stamp set from Stampin' Up! This is one of my June stamp camp cards. We cut out and layered up the three Red, White, Blue scoops that are all glittered and sparkly from Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

The ribbon ruffle is created using a strip of Sticky Strip and the beautiful White Satin Ribbon, tacked down here and there. I also sprayed the Creamy Caramel layer with Shimmer Mist mixed with Rubbing Alcohol before I ran it through my Big Shot with the Perfect Details Texture Plate - the perfect ice cream cone texture.

Butterfly Die - Craft Crackle Technique

This card featuring the Craft Crackle Technique is one we'll be making at my June Technique Club. Come stamp with us each month - we have a lot of fun! I used the Stampin' Up! Butterfly Die for the Big Shot and some Craft Inks with the (soon to be retiring - sob!) Glassy Glaze Embossing Powder. The cardstock colors in this card are soon to be retired - Taken with Teal, Close to Cocoa, Apricot Appeal - as well as the Chocolate Taffeta Ribbon. Be sure to order those retiring items before they are gone!

I first saw this Craft Crackle technique on Melany's blog. It is also the featured Technique Challenge this week on Stampin' Addicts. Be sure to check out all their weekly challenges - Color, Sketch and Technique are my favorites!
