Simply Zinnia

Stampin Up Simply Zinnia

It is that time of year when we have to say goodbye to a set of InColors. This time Sweet Sorbet, Orchis Oasis, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party are retiring. These colors were one of my favorite sets because they are bright and cheerful. I hate to see them go, but it is how the Stampin’ Up!® world works. I decided to make a card using all the retiring colors. It is a little overwhelming but I am ok with it.

To make this card, I first cut out all the pieces. I just realized as I am writing this that I used all dies and no stamps on this card. I used a few Online Exclusive products. I first cut out the flower and leaves from the die set called Simply Zinnia in Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis card stock and the little flowers using Tahitian Tide. Then I used the die set called Wanted to Say for the sentiment and the sentiment background. I cut out the larger circle in Tahitian Tide card stock using the Decked Circles die set. I layered another circle using the Everyday Details die set in Starry Sky. I layered a piece of Basic White card stock that I had embossed using one of the Basics 3D embossing folders and layered that on a piece of Tahitian Tide card stock and an Orchid Oasis card base. Lastly, I added some 2022-2024 InColor Matte Decorative Dots.

If you like this colors make sure you stock up before they are no longer available. Once Stampin’ Up!® runs out of anything that is retiring, it will be gone for good.
