This is the first of many retiring Stampin Up stamp sets that I will be highlighting. Today I have Stampin Up card ideas for Friends Never Fade! This is an inexpensive set of four flower stamps that can be used for a wide variety of occasions. Here is is a quick and easy card made with this set:
Hot pink (as in Melon Mambo) and black make a great color combination. On this card, the Friends Never Fade stamp set (p. 107 #118750w $17.95 #120618c $13.95) is combined with the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder (p. 219 $116824 $7.95)
This is another card, also from Friends Never Fade, with an entirely different look:
When I know the maker of a card, I always give credit to that person. Most of the cards I will sharing that use these discontinued stamp sets were received in swaps and I don't know who made them. If you know, please let me know and I will gladly add their names in these posts!
This card uses the Friends Never Fade stamp set again with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (p. 219 #120175 $7.95) Notice how the edges of the embossed paper is sponged with Soft Suede ink. Using just the Soft Suede, this monochromatic card has an elegant look which is enhanced with the Antique Brad (p. 198 #117273 $5.95) in the middle of the main flower. The Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die (p. 223 #115950 $21.95) makes an interesting bottom layer for this card.
The Stampin Up Big Shot was used in making both of these cards! I don't think I could stamp anymore without the Big Shot. I use it every time! It adds texture and interest to anything you are working on. So much about card making is in the details. Do you own the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine yet? Ask me more about it.
Thats it for today's Stampin Up card ideas for Friends Never Fade!
