Something old, something new...
I combined the retiring Etcetera Designer Series Papers with the new Something for Baby stamp set. You know what the best part of this set is? Matching Framelits dies to cut out the image!! Cutting out this carriage image would be much more work if I had to do it by hand! Luckily, the Baby's First Framelits dies let me do it in seconds, and much more precisely that I could have done by hand!
This stamp set only contains image, so you can pair it with any sentiment set of your choice for more options. (This also means that you can get it in wood-mount if you want, which I did and it made me happy!) I picked a sentiment from the Beau petit chou stamp set.
The frame behind the carriage image was created with the Designer Frames embossing folders. I embossed a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and handcut it. (This one doesn't come with a Framelits die...) I added patterned paper in the center, and tied a piece of Victoria lace trim in between my two pieces of patterned paper.
Matching paper was used in combination with the Envelope Punch Board to make a matching envelope. As much as I like to hoard my beautiful paper, I'm trying to fight the urge to do so and use sheets to make matching envelope so that I can limit my mounting amount of paper.
The design of the card was inspired by the Monday Lunchtime Sketch #316.

On a side note, there's only a couple of days left to order from the 2013-2014 Catalogue (last day is June 4th). Stampin' Up! has discounted some of the retiring items so I invite you to have a last look at the retiring list to see if there's any last-minute order you wish to place. The 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue will be posting online tomorrow (June 2nd) so you can combine something old and something new on your order if you wish. How neat is that! Send me an e-mail if you're ready to order.
