We are in the last couple of weeks for the Stampin UP! 2018 – 2019 annual catalog which means that stamp sets and other products will be retiring and there are some of my favorites among them. So I am going to use my blog posts to share some of the things that are retiring – along with links so that you can put in your order so you don’t miss out.

This card has a fun fold and featured in my November On-Line Class to Go so has a video to go along with it! The All for One Stamp Set and Love What You DSP is about to retire at then end of May – so if this is on your wish list you will want to scroll down this post for the link to my on-line store!

It also uses the 1 3/4 Circle Punch and the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack which are about to retire – so scroll on down this post for a link so you can order yours before May 31st (or while stocks last!)

A Little Treat – Decorated Ghirardelli Square Video Tutorial

May 16, 2019May 16, 2019Leave a comment

I am so grateful for my lovely customers who shop with me for their Stampin’ Up Supplies. I try to give a little gift each month and for April I chose to decorate some Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares.

These are so quick and easy to make, you can get 6 out of a single sheet of card and 36 pieces of DSP from a 12 x 12 sheet. The colors I chose to use are directly from the Happiness Blooms DSP and the greeting from the A Good Day Stamp Set (which is about to retire so get your order in as soon as you can so as not to miss out (there is a link below)

Touches of Texture ~ Team Anniversary Cards

May 10, 2019May 1, 2019Leave a comment

I had a few of my team celebrate their Stampin’ UP! anniversary in March and I like to acknowledge their achievement and thank them for being part of my Corner of the World!

The Touches of Texture Stamp Set has been a firm favorite – for a start off it has flowers in it and lots of different parts so you can build up the flower(s) you want. Secondly it also has some ‘texture’ stamps to fill in any spaces.

Sad to say this set is retiring at the end of May – so if it is one you have been thinking about getting now is the time to do it, there is a link to my on-line store a little further down this page.

Wonderful Moments ~ Mum-to-be Card

May 8, 2019April 30, 2019Leave a comment

We were delighted to learn our friends daughter is expecting her first child at the end of this summer, last weekend we found out it will be a little girl! I know I am old fashioned although I would prefer being called a traditionalist, but I just had to do a pink card!

The Wonderful Moments stamp set has just the perfect image plus the perfect greeting so along with my Stampin’ Blends I was ready to start.

BTW – this stamp set is great for a wedding as well as congratulating a woman on graduation, job promotion, birthday, making an inspirational card – so check it out at the link below.

Stamparatus Technique ~ Set Back Stampin’ Video Tutorial

May 6, 2019April 30, 20192 Comments

It is a while since I shared a technique using the Stamparatus and today I have one called Set Back Stampin’ using the Petal Palette Stamp set with the coordinating Petals and More Thinlet Dies.

The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool and an absolute must have for all stampers. It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’ as my video today will show.

Poppy Parade, Crackle Paint ~ Just a Note…..

May 4, 2019April 30, 2019Leave a comment

Sometimes you just need a card so you can send a message, nothing specific but just a note. It could say thinking of you inside or thank you, speedy recovery ~ I guess just about anything that will make someone’s day when they open the envelope.

The Crafting Forever stamp set has a stamp with just 3 pens and I love it, I have paired it with the Crackle Paint Background Stamp then rooted around in my stash to find the “Just a Note…. greeting which is from one of the Saleabration sets (now no longer available 😦 )

Petal Palette ~ Best wishes

May 2, 2019April 30, 2019Leave a comment

Petal Palette Stamp set is due to retire at the end of this month – it has been one of my favorites, partly because it has flowers and partly because of all the greetings it has! I shall be sharing at least one more card with this set before the end of May – but don’t delay in ordering yours – as they are likely to sell out pretty quickly!

As usually happens I turn to my ribbon drawer for choosing my colors – and sitting in there is the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green 3/8 Reversible Ribbon – it combines two colors that I would not have put together myself – Stampin’ UP! helps me be so much more creative by presenting these ideas for me to build on!
