I had a friend request some animal themed onesies, so I used a combination of retired and current stamp sets to match the animals in the nursery. With transfer paper and an iron, it is a quick little project. 
My good friend, Deana, just had a baby, so I had to pull out a retired stamp set to make a card. Deana has always loved this Sock Monkey, and it's become quite a joke in our stamping circle so it seems only fitting I use it for her card. I also pulled out some scraps of old blue DSP. I stamped the monkey on Bashful Blue and on the DSP, and then I mounted the small cutout bits onto the whole piece of Bashful Blue. I also bought a cute little bib with sock monkeys all over it as part of her gift so the card was a must! Congratulations Deana and Jeremy!
This was a quick card for our Stamp-a-Stack. I figured with the punch art bunny that we might need one that went a little faster. By stamping twice without reinking in between, we created a shadow look and then stamped a Chocolate Chip sentiment over Regal Rose. 
This stamp set was one I got free when I attended convention last summer. I am so glad I did because it makes wonderful cards, but I probably wouldn't have bought it myself. Sometimes you just have to see some great samples before you can see the potential for a stamp set, and Stampin' Up! does a great job with samples!
Here is one of our Stamp-a-Stack cards from earlier this month. It felt a little early to be making Easter cards, but it will be too late next month by the time we meet. So we are all ahead of the game with our Easter cards. This one takes a little time but it is worth it in the end. There's nothing hard about it -- it just takes some patience adhering all the little parts.
