Welcome to the Pals Annual Retirement Hop! Many of our favorite images and colors from Stampin' Up! will no longer be available after this month so we are showcasing some retirees one more time!
The Just Believe stamp set remains one of my favorite sets so I paired it with one of my favorite colors - Baja Breeze! The background image is done in Not Quite Navy and Riding Hood Red provides the pop of color. All of those ink pads are trekking across my craft room to the retirement shelf as well! The color spritzer sprayed some Baja Breeze on the vanilla panel - subtle but effective. That spritzer will not make the trek across the room even though it is retiring - I just can't part with it! And since this is the last time I will feature this set on my blog I thought I would go back in time - two years ago actually - and show you the first card I made using images from Just Believe. Two totally different looks - one great stamp set!

I love this, Linda! The colors are great together. I love the pops of yellow and red, and I love the white panel with color in the middle of the floral image. Very clever and creative! I agree with you -- my color spritzer tool will not be retired in my craft room.
Love the way you did this with the piecing, Linda. These colors are great together too. Your first card with Just Believe was gorgeous as well!
Very pretty Linda. I love the red and Baja Breeze.
Love this card and the spot lighting technique... I don't use it enough. Fun to see the way the styles of the DTs changed over the years. hugs
Beautiful cards Linda. Absolutely see why you are on a desig team!
Very pretty cards, Linda! I love how you stamped over the white strip of card stock on the first card!
Beautiful!!!
Fantastic Linda! My fav is the black card. Both beautiful but so different. TFS!
very creative way to stamp the image!
hugs, m
I LOVE the way you tied the colors of ink and cardstock together! Very creative!! And I do appreciate the different card styles... just shows to go you, how versatile stamping can be! Hugs to Emma, please!
Wow, Linda. That's all I can say. Seeing your work is never a disappointment.
Yawza, how creative this is! I love your cards! Beautiful!!
Linda,
Both your cards are wonderful, as always. Guess that's why I follow your blog! I think the black card is so striking and can't wait to make something similar. Hope you don't mind if I post a link to your blog on my blog, so my card class friends can check out your cards?
TFS

That stamp set has always been a favorite although I've been neglecting it lately! Glad you showed us the two cards together. It's fun to see two very diverse cards made with the same set!
Both of your cards are wonderfully creative and I just may have to CAS each one of them!
I JUST/finally got this stamp set, so was sad to see it on the retiring list! Definitely a keeper, though! :) Both of these cards are so pretty... I especially love the second one (the circle stamp is the main reason I got the stamp set LOL)
Beautiful card!!! Love the paper piecing!! Fabulous colors!!
So Pretty! love how you did this layout!
Hugs
Shirley
