Farewell to Flurry of Wishes

Flurry of wishes is on the retiring list but is still available until May 25th. The matching punch, Snow Flurry, was retired last year but it’s currently available on the clearance rack at a discounted price – $10.80 for a punch is a steal.

Here I used the snowflakes with white craft ink to make a background and one of the sentiments. That one has been used a lot. The deer is from Merry Mistletoe which is also retiring.

Here’s a card showing one of the other great sentiments – as well as the detail of the snowflakes, heat embossed in silver.

Do you remember where you were when you make some of your cards? I remember making this last card at a crop. Mostly because I struggled so hard to use the embellishment. I’d started off the card with the goal of using this embellishment and caused much hilarity as my friends watched my indecision!

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards from the past.

Bye bye bundle – Colorful Seasons

Leave a reply

Colorful Seasons is an incredibly versatile bundle which is carrying over, but the 10% saving is not. It really is perfect to use for every season.

Here’s one of my favourite Christmas cards that I made last year in tranquil tide with gold heat embossing and die cuts from this bundle.

Here’s a reminder – just a simple stamped card showcasing a wonderful sentiment. The little mat of berry burst interrupting all the whisper white makes for a supremely elegant card in my opinion.

and here’s some advice for all of us in another simply stamped card. I like how the colored card base (berry burst) makes this card look so different from the one above.

Here’s a Stampin’ Up! photo showing how you can use this all year around

As you can see, Colorful Seasons is a very versatile bundle; grab it now before you lose the 10% saving.

I hope you enjoyed today’s review.

Blooms and Wishes

Leave a reply

I set myself a challenge to use a retiring stamp set but also to use only retiring colours. I chose the Blooms and Wishes stamp set and managed to use 4 retiring colours – I was pretty impressed with that. Perfect plum, wisteria wonder, rose red and always artichoke.

I started with the biggest blooms on wisteria wonder and then did the centres of the flower in perfect plum. It’s not visible but I added wink of Stella (not retiring, thank goodness) over the perfect plum. Then I added in the sentiment in always artichoke to be sure that I had room for it. I’m not really going to miss always artichoke; it’s a nice colour but mossy meadow is coming back and it’s close and, in my opinion, nicer. I never once used always artichoke when I had the option of mossy meadow.

Next I added the rose red flowers and some sprigs of always artichoke. Attaching this to a wisteria wonder card base finished off a simple card perfectly. My class attendees enjoyed making this one.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

The ink pads and coloured card stock shown today are as supplies last. The stamp set is guaranteed until May 25th but don’t delay. Also yesterday Stampin’ Up! reduced some prices on the retiring list. Check out my shop to see what’s still available and what’s at a reduced price.

Farewell to Paisleys and Posies

Leave a reply

It’s time to bid a fond farewell to another pairing – the Paisleys and Posies stamp set and the Paisley Framelits dies – neither part will be in the upcoming catalog, so if you want them, get them now. Here I made my own background with a number of the beautiful stamps and then highlighted one of them with a copper die cut.

Here I added some colour with the stampin’ write markers

And here’s one showcasing one of the beautiful sentiments in the set

This one showcases a die cut from the Paisley framelits dies

I hope you enjoyed today’s projects – if you need this stamp set and the dies, hurry before they are out of stock. Whilst the stamp set is guaranteed until May 25th, the dies are as supplies last.

Bye bye bundle – Lemon Zest bundle

Leave a reply

Here’s a bundle that I came to late, but I’m glad that I got it at the bundled price! 10% off is always a good thing. The components of the Lemon Zest bundle – the stamp set and punch – are both in the upcoming catalog, but you’ll be paying full price for them, so get them now whilst the bundled pricing is still available.

I actually used my stamparatus for this card because this was my swap at Onstage last month and I was making about 30. It’s very easy to make multiples using this new tool which will be available in the upcoming catalogue. And that’s exciting – it’s extremely relaxing and satisfying to be stamping away and a pile of partially finished card grows and before you know where you are, all you have to do is attach the layer to the cardbase. Obviously I did all the cards with the first lemon and a leaf and then did them all with the second lemon and another leaf and so on.

So I encourage you to grab this bundle whilst you can.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
