This month the Control Freaks are sharing their favorite retiring products in a 'Can't Live Without' theme. There are so many wonderful items on the Last Chance list this year! Be sure to really look at it so you have no regrets when they're no longer available.
If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all. Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog. I love her style!
I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!
This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White. I love a black & white card with a pop of color.
The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May.
I used the 'Floating' technique here. I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies. Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder.
Products retiring:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- All Together 6 X 6" DSP
I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts! They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold. The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.
I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.
Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog.
I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring. It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale!
