TAKE 3 – Retiring Stampin’ UP! colors

The Take 3 this week is a twist – instead of 3 PROJECTS it features 3 products – Nouveau Chic DSP, Sage Shadow Cardstock, Apricot Appeal Cardstock.

I just love our Nouveau Chic Designer series paper – it pairs perfectly with retiring Sage Shadow and Apricot Appeal. This versatile paper is perfect for weddings, showers, urban chic, anniversaries, manly projects and more. Stock up today as the Combination  – Nouveau Chic with it’s coordinating Sage Shadow and Apricot Appeal will not be available after June 30th.

All these projects were featured make n’takes this past weekend at our 3 day RemARKable Retreat #2.

A little Play on words – in addtion to the Take 3 paper trio, it features Boutique Chic Stamp Set and a sneak peak set called Favoritie Thoughts. In addition we used Timeless Type Big Shot alphabet, Big Shot Clear Circle die, apricot grosgrain, basic gray satin ribbon

Top Note Box – features a sneak peak of the new Big Shot Die – Island floral, and uses the Big Shot Top Note Die, Scallop Circle die and Clear circle die.
