Saying Goodbye

There is still time to check out the LAST CHANCE products that are retiring from the Stampin’ Up! annual catalog and seasonal January to June catalog.  Saying goodbye is never easy but we have great things coming so stay tuned!  Make sure to look over the list carefully because some are discounted! Click the image below or HERE to go directly to the last-chance section of my online store. 

The products are available through June 2nd, or while supplies last. 
  • All retiring items are only available while supplies last and will be discontinued after June 2.
  • Due to high demand, retiring stamp sets will have guaranteed availability until May 15, 2020; all other products are not guaranteed and are only available while supplies last.

If you see the Stampin’ Blends Markers on the retiring list, don’t panic.  They are going to return with new item numbers in combo packs instead of singles.  If you would like the single pens, order what you need before June 2nd or while supplies last.  Once they are gone, you won’t be able to get them.   However, we do have a good supply so until the inventory is sold out, they will be available for purchase. 

Please note that beginning June 3rd, Bronze and Ivory Stampin’ Blends Markers will be sold exclusively in a combo pack (though they may arrive in separate packaging until our single marker inventory is depleted). The Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter will be the only Stampin’ Blends Marker sold individually starting with the 2020–2021 Annual Catalog. Click either of the pdf’s below.  There is one for each of the two catalogs.

Items retiring from the annual catalog are listed HERE.
Items retiring from the January to June mini catalog are listed HERE.

Holiday “last chance” items are in a different department. Look for the Holiday Favorites category or click HEREDon’t miss your year ending opportunity. 

Happy shopping!

Awesome Sentiment

You can send an awesome sentiment of encouragement to everyone in your life with this card created with the En Route stamp set.  This stamp set is also probably so much fun for children to play with.  The colors in the bundle are so vibrant and energetic.  This bundle is on the retirement list, so remember to get any of the retirement products before they are gone.  The stamp sets are available through May but the accessories are all while supplies last. Get the products before they are gone from the retirement list.  Also, everyone is special and this card will show them just how much.

2. Trim three smaller cards out of Best Route Memories & More Card Pack so two pieces are ½” wide on long (4”) edge of the card and so one other pattern is ¾” wide. Using SNAIL adhere those on the Mango Melody scrap that is about 4-1/2” x 4” laying them down at an angle and making sure to leave a small gap between strips. Next, trim at an angle on one edge. Hold that piece down onto the larger Whisper White piece and mark it so you know how to trim the other end.
3. Holding that piece back down on the Whisper White align where you want the sentiment to go, ink with Blueberry Bushel and stamp. If you don’t adhere it first, you can always redo if your stamping goes awry. Once it looks right, adhere strip piece to Whisper White with SNAIL.
4. Using Gray Granite stamp road map image onto Gray Granite cardstock and punch out with 1-3/4” Circle Punch. Using 2” Circle, punch Mango Melody. Using 2-3/8” circle die, cut out a circle from the Blueberry Bushel Memories & More card (it is the one with a white circle in the center). Attach Gray Granite to Mango Melody with SNAIL and adhere a strip of Blueberry Bushel Washi Tape across top of Gray Granite.  Make sure to wrap it around back. Using SNAIL adhere that piece to the larger Blueberry Bushel circle.
5. Stamp bicycles in Blueberry Bushel along the bottom of the 4” Whisper White scrap. Trim so that it’s about ½” wide. Using Paper Snips trim to create an arrow. Using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere to top of circle piece.
6. Adhere Whisper White larger piece to Blueberry Bushel base with SNAIL.
7. With Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere the circle to the front of the card so it is over the three diagonal strips. Also with Dimensionals, add Blueberry Bushel to the card base.
8. Lastly, apply Best Route Enamel Shapes to left of the sentiment.
