Year-End Closeout Has Discounts

The Year-End Closeout has discounts on select items (see images below and link to them in my online store HERE) AND hones in on three categories of holiday products going forward. This is meant to assist you in your final shopping out of the holiday catalog.

Please refer to THIS LIST to see what is what:

  • Carryover items available continually through June 2 – on the list I shared it is the white lines or not-highlighted lines.
  • Items that will not be available after January 2 but will reappear in the 2020 holiday catalog (this is a new option and test for the future) – on the list I shared it is the yellow or highlighted items.
  • Items that will not be available after January 2 that will be considered retired (everything NOT on this list).

As a catalog winds down, items DO sell out as they are “while supplies last.”

Questions always welcome! StellarStamps@gmail.com or text me at 916.915.3840 (if you text, please include your name).

 
 
 

Beautiful Magnolia Image

You can create a beautiful magnolia image on a card super fast.  I received a similar card last month from a member of my Demonstrator team. My jaw dropped as it was SO simple yet so elegant and perfect just as it was. I had to make some for myself as birthday thank you notes and I sent them out.

All images © 1990-2019 Stampin’ Up!®

I chose a light color so I could write on the inside. Any light color works (the card I received from my downline was Balmy Blue) OR choose a darker color and use a Whisper White or Very Vanilla cardstock piece to write on and adhere inside (4″ x 5-1/4″).  Wouldn’t the Seasonal Wreath 3D embossing folder look great as a holiday note card or thank you? (pg. 199 of our annual catalog or see it HERE).  If you make groups of these, they are wonderful gifts if you insert them into our Acetate Card Boxes (noted below).

Supplies:
Stamp set: Good Morning Magnolia (149298)
Ink: Soft Sea Form Classic Stampin’ Pad (147102)
Paper: Soft Sea Foam Cardstock (149688)
Miscellaneous: Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder (149579), 3D Embossing Folder Plate (149658), Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301), Acetate Card Boxes [not shown] (144628), Bone Folder (102300), Die-cutting machine

Measurements:
Soft Sea Foam card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″ then fold crease with Bone Folder

Instructions:

  1. Run Soft Sea Foam cardstock and Magnolia 3D embossing folder (using the 3D Embossing Folder Plate) through your die-cutting machine.
  2. Fold card.
  3. Using Soft Sea Foam ink, stamp corner of the front of Whisper White Medium Envelope.
  4. For gift giving: make sets and insert into Acetate Card Boxes (each holds up to 5 sets of cards with envelopes). See them HERE. Note that the wording is incorrect on that one item; the box holds USA standard A2 cards and envelopes. It measures 4-7/16″ x 5-13/16″ x 5/8″.
