#TBT I am

All-occasion card

“I Am” was a stamp set that was given to all attendees to the 2012 Stampin’ Up Convention, the first one (and only, so far) that I attended.  It was “oh so fabulous!” and just a bit overwhelming.  At any rate, I was inspired to make this carI am, Oh so Fabulous, Creative, a Star, Beautifuld, which combined the “I Am” stamp, elements from “Nature’s Walk”,Nature Walk, Bee, Plant, Bird, Birdhouse

and the “Dot Dot Dot background stamp.

 

 

 

 

Dots, Dot Background

All three stamps have been retired, and usually for #TBT I show some current products.  So, while you can’t create this particular card, there are current alternatives for some of the elements.  For instance, a different way to get the background dots is to use a stencil, and there is a great stencil in the “Build a Banner Simply Created Kit” in the annual catalog.  Build a  Banner, Dots Stencil

 

The 2015 Occasions “mini” Catalog has butterfly thinlits and a great nature stamp to buy as a bundle for 15% off!  Substitute a “3D” butterfly for the bee.

And try the latest “chalkboard” technique by stamping in black ink on white paper.  You can even use your watercolor markers to highlight some areas in color.
