Isn't it wonderful to be able to retire after 18 years of faithful service? That's what's happening to the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.

Lovely as a Tree Sympathy Cards It is never easy to write out a sympathy card, but it is a part of life. This past week I had several friends lose a parent. My heart reaches out to each of them. I sat down to create a card for a friend whose father had been in the navy. It started there. I grabbed Night of Navy and I loved how it looked with Gray Granite.

It is certainly the one of longest-lived Stampin' Up! stamp sets that I know of, along with Teeny Tiny Wishes. And rightfully so! My own sets of those two are old enough…

In today’s post, I’ll be sharing projects made with variations of the Masking Tape Technique and two retiring stamp sets, Lovely As A Tree and Amazing Life.
