Although I am a few years away from retirement, I know it will be my favorite thing because then I will be able to craft all day and work won’t get in the way. LOL Well, perhaps I will still need to spend time cleaning and doing laundry, but I am sure I will have more time for crafting! I hope!!
Today’s retirement card is a clean and simple card created using the Nature’ Prints and Gone Fishing stamp sets! I decided just to use one color for a simple monochromatic look. I choose Mossy Meadow.

I think this card would look great with Afternoon Azure and Gorgeous Grape as well. I guess I was going for a more masculine look, so I used the card green……oh Blackberry Bliss would be another great choice. Maybe next time! LOL Happy Stamping!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! We are embracing some (or all) of Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful blues for today’s hop – there are so many great ways to showcase the blues in the current color families! We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them!
Again, today we are all about the blues…..not the down in the dump kind, but Stampin’ Up! blues of course! I wonder what your favorite Stampin’ Up! blue is. It know it is super hard to choose, but I think my all time favorite has to be Blueberry Bushel, I am so glad it has returned to our main color line! I think Night of Navy is my next favorite blue. Let me know in the comments your favorite Stampin’ Up! blues. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. The fish are stamped with Memento Black and Blueberry Bushel ink. I used the coordinating dies to crop my fish and arranged them on the card front. *Be sure your watercolor panel is completely dry before adding the greeting.
Gone Fishing $49.50
I created the water using a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Watercolor paper and using the water painters added some Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel ink. I used a generous amount of water with the painters and used the heating tool to dry the watercolor paper before assembling my card.
Here is a look at the inside of my card……
I stamped in Balmy Blue for solid and Memento Black for the outline of my fish hook. Of course after stamping and getting it to line up perfectly on the first try, I realized my hook is upside down! LOL Oh well, after all it is a homemade card and it has been a minute since I have gone fishing!!!!

I just started snipping and layering for a upbeat thinking of you card. My greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set featured in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. A few of the planets are ones printed on the edges of the paper. I layered them behind my largest planet and on the edges of my Lemon Lime Twist panel.
