I Know It’s Retired But Summer’s Coming

Stampin’ Up!’s "Balmy Breezes" is one of my favorite stamp sets.  I know  that some demonstrators only show new  stamp sets but you will see some retired stamp sets here because I just can’t seem to let go. And it’s just not with stamps that I have that problem, either. I was digging through my stamp sets looking for something for another masculine card and I came across this one. And it just seemed like the right thing to do. And it’s not all retired.  I took a clip from the Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware, a brad from the Pewter Build-A-Brad and the small tree image from the "Balmy Breezes"  stamp set and made the clip. I used "Balmy Breezes" and "Amazing to Zany" stamp sets, Kraft and Very Vanilla card stock, Always Artichoke, Close To Cocoa and Creamy Carmel markers and Always Artichoke and Creamy Carmel Classic ink pads, 1 1/2" Twill tape, linen thread, 1/2" circle punch and wooden beads I had on hand.  It really was quick, too. I hope you like it.
