A Long Farewell to Sock Monkey
You either love him or you hate him…there is no in-between with Sock Monkey! He will be leaving the catalog very soon, so let's send him off in grand style!!!
This is card uses two techniques – paper piecing and suspension format!
This card uses a very cool vellum technique!
Goodbye, Sock Monkey – we will miss you!


A Long Farewell to Simply Said
I'm saying farewell to another long-standing favorite, Simply Said. This was a fabulous go-to stamp set!
Here is an example using the Polka Dots embossing folder.
My stampers know I love to mix in Chocolate Chip with pinks and blues. Here is an example with a wheeled section:
Another reason why I loved this stamp set is it worked well with techniques as there were bold images and fine line images in the stamp set. Here is a card using the Vanilla Double and the Direct to Paper techniques.


A Long Farewell to Autumn Harvest
Today's long farewell is to Autumn Harvest. This is one of my all-time favorite stamp sets! The stamp set can be used for both elegant and whimsical cards…leave out the cute little face and you've got a fabulous card like this….
Then, if you wanted a sweet little card to send to your favorite pumpkin, add the face image like this card:
You could even leave out the pumpkin all together! Here is a rich-looking card using only the leaf from the stamp set!


A Long Farewell to Friends 24-7
Today's long farewell is to Friends 24-7 stamp set. I love the baroque styling and the bird especially. Here is one of the Christmas gift projects my customers made a couple years ago:
Here is a card featuring a brayer technique and the Bride DSP (oh, how I loved that!):
Here is a mix of stamp sets – the Medallion background and the bird from Friends 24-7. The bird is stamped on the wood sheets and punched out.
