Retiring Products – Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Retiring Blog Hop. This is the first time I’m hopping with these wonderful worldwide crafters and I hope you’ll hop around to see the other fabulous projects.

I chose the Simply Elegant suite which is retiring and the Gilded Gems which are retiring on 2nd May. The stamp set is currently 40% off and the gems 20% off – got to love a bargain!

I made two cards, one using the punch and the other with heat embossing. Showing how you can switch a couple of elements up for a different look.


Card 1:


Card 2:

So which is your preferred card? 1or 2? Let me know in the comments.


Time to hop along to the next blog! Enjoy 🙂
