April Stray Duckling Blog Waddle - Favorite Retiring Products

 Hello my Stamping Friends and welcome to another Stray Duckling Blog Waddle!  This month we are showcasing our favorite retiring products.  

I've got to confess...I love tree leafs.  I find them fascinating.  I'm always photographing them:

So naturally  I'm drawn to leaf stamps.  There are 3 stamp sets that I have loved and used many times. 

They are now on the Last Chance List and I'm kind of sad about that...  Caring Leaves:  A very simple image but very pretty.

Changing Leaves is the other Stamp set and embossing folder (hybrid) and die cuts that are going away.... This set made a gorgeous card.. I used Blackberry Bliss, Wild Wheat (retiring in-color), and the Gold Mercury Vellum (also on the last chance list).

And lastly the Autumn Leaves stamp set and dies:  The veining on the leaf is so pretty!

I can't finish with out mentioning one of my favorite retiring Designer Series papers:  Countryside Inn. I love the blues and the subtle designs in the paper... Really going to miss this one.  I used the Eyelet 3-D Embossing folder and this one is sticking around !  Yeah! 

The paper made a beautiful quilt card:

So there you have it...My sad list of favorite retiring products.  However, I'm really looking forward to the exciting new products in the 25-26 Annual Catalog and all the beautiful fall stuff in the 2025 Holiday Mini.  

I hope you enjoyed my cards.  Blessings,   Sheryl
