I didn't think I'd ever see the day! **Lovely As A Tree is finally retiring! I wanted to give this iconic Stampin' Up! stamp set a proper send off since it has been in Stampin' Up! catalogues an unprecedented 18 years, since 2001! Do you have it in your collection? If not, you only have three more weeks to take care of that! To be honest, I thought maybe it was going last year, when they brought out Rooted in Nature and Winter Woods complete with coordinating dies. I thought, "Oh, yeah, those are replacements for **Lovely As A Tree!", but I was wrong, so I thought it was immortal! Turns out I was just off by a year.

What are your favourite cards that you've made with this stamp set? This week, I'm going to feature three new ones that I've created for my technique night classes and post a few oldies from my archives.
The first new design is a masculine card that would be great for Father's Day or a masculine birthday:
- It features the old oak tree image embossed in Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder on a layered circular panel that's the focal point. It also uses the **Wood Textures Designer Series Paper that will be retiring as well at the end of this month and a strip of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon.
- The sentiment is from the Rooted in Nature stamp set that is a bit of a replacement for **Lovely as a Tree. It's stamped in Cajun Craze here. I used Soft Suede, Sahara Sand and Cajun Craze for my palette.
- The dies I used for the center panels were the Layering Circles Dies and the Stitched Shapes Dies.

My take on that silly music video by Ylvis!
See how versatile this stamp set is! No wonder it has been around for so long. It's kind of timeless.
