Here’s another fun stamp set that’s now on the low inventory list – Pineapple. It’s a really fun, huge stamp which can be great for welcoming people or showing gratitude. Here are some of the cards that I’ve made with it. Click on the photos to go to the original posts.

Here was a first look at last year’s in colors

and a last look at out going ones

Here I discovered that always artichoke was a good substitute for the retired mossy meadow

When doing the pineapple in 2 colours, it was definitely a lot easier to plan something over the join – a banner or ribbon. With the curve between the fruit and the stalks (seen easily in the first card) you can see that it’s hard to get a perfect color change. Covering it up makes it a lot easier!

I already shared the card swaps that I received in Amsterdam, now I’m moving onto the Amsterdam 3D swaps. People really went all out making 3D objects. Here’s half of them.

First I’m starting with this bag made by Ingrid Eisinger containing chocolate. I love the magnetic dots that she used to close it. I also love that it contained chocolate!

Next up is a nail file holder which I was really happy to get since I needed one and I’d forgotten to take one! Sadly I don’t have the name of who made this.

Both of these projects used the Playful Palette Paper DSP stack and it’s on sale for $6 down from $10 on the clearance rack. Bargain!

Next we have a cute little post it note holder featuring the very popular Hey Chick. This was made by Maria Gamlin. The Festive embossing folder that she used in the background is retiring, but it’s on sale at 20% off for just $6.80

Here we have another post it holder, this one a mini holder made by Katharina Klar

And finally for today, here’s a really cute little box made by Mieke Vis. I love the covering of the Floral Boutique DSP. It makes the real red box really pop. The DSP is retiring, but not on sale and it’s hit the low inventory level. If you want it, you need to hurry.

I hope you enjoyed these projects.

Today I was browsing the retiring list and remembered that the Balloon Popup Thinlits Dies are retiring along with the fun Balloon Adventures set. The reason I’m pointing them out is that the dies are on sale – $16.50 instead of $33 so make sure you buy them singly and not bundled because it’s cheaper. Here’s a fun video featuring Brandi Barnard showing the fun you can have with them.

They are currently still available and the two of them will cost you just $42.50 (instead of $53 for the bundle) down from the original price of $59. Definitely worth snapping up if you don’t have them already.
