Stampin’ Up! Best of Retiring Part 3!

Posted on May 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Instead of Sunday Swap Day I'm continuing my "Best Of" Year in Review with Retiring Stamps and Accessories. I've been going through my blog archives from the past year, and I'm not only amazed at the volume of stamping I've done, I'm also amazed at what's retiring and what's not!

A couple of things to remember about the Retiring List (expiring May 31st)

STAMPS are guaranteed available up until May 22nd. After that date they will only be available while the current supply for that set lasts.

ACCESSORIES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! ORDER SOON! LIKE TODAY!

You can still use the links in the supply lists to find the available items in my online store.

First, a card created with the retiring In the Meadow and Endless Thanks.

View the full blog post HERE.

Next, I used In the Meadow again for Troy's birthday card. The Acorn Punch is also retiring.

Check out the full post HERE.

A favorite Thanksgiving project using the Acorn Builder Punch and retiring Acorny Thank You. Use this LINK to read all about it!

Another retiring punch, the Festive Flower Builder, makes SUPER poinsettias!

Use this LINK to view the post.

I used retiring Cake Crazy from the Occasions catalog to create Jaxon's 5th birthday card. To view the entire post, click HERE.

I used another retiring set, Bear Hugs, for Lando's 2nd birthday card. Click THIS LINK to see the full post!

I'm seeing a trend. I choose retiring sets to make family cards. Of course, when I choose to stamp with them I have no idea they will retire, but it's working out that way!

Finally for today, I created this easy-peasy card with the retiring Carousel Birthday and Festive Textured Impressions folder.

Check out the full blog post HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Best of Retiring Part 2!

Posted on May 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm continuing my series of favorite creations using Retiring Stamps and accessories today. There's only 18 days left before the Retiring List expires!

Two things to remember about the Retiring List:

STAMPS are guaranteed available up until May 22nd. After that date they will only be available while the current supply for that set lasts.

ACCESSORIES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST NOW, SO ORDER SOON! LIKE TODAY!

You can still use the links in the supply lists to find the available items in my online store.

First, the Fresh Fruit set and Fruit Stand Designer Paper are retiring.

Use this link to view the original post.

I love strawberries! It's too bad I'm allergic, but that doesn't stop me from stamping them! This card is also stamped with the Fresh Fruit set. Check out the full blog post HERE.

Thankfully, I'm NOT allergic to peaches! The Fresh Fruit set also has a delectable peach image that I used the "orange peel" technique with. Check out the full post HERE.

My next year-in-review creation used the Ronald McDonald set, My HERO. Stampin' Up! is still donating a portion of the sale of this set to Ronald McDonald House Charities!

Check out the full blog post HERE.

Faux Diamonds technique and Moroccan Nights were the hit of this card. View the full post HERE.

The Flower Patch stamp set, Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper, and Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim are ALL retiring! Check out the full blog post for this double-front fold card HERE.

Finally (and seventh) for today, Barnyard Babies was the theme for this pair of Big-Shotless cards.

Check out the full post (and the other card) HERE.

I hope you are enjoying my Year-in-Review! Since we are getting so close to the end of the catalog, I'm going to continue this series tomorrow, so come by and see me!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Retiring Part 1!

Posted on May 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With just a couple of weeks left (19 days!) before the Retiring List expires, I thought now might be a good time to review some of my favorites of this past Stampin' Up! catalog year. All of the projects I will be posting today and for the next few days use retiring stamps and accessories that are still available in my online store.

PLEASE NOTE: STAMPS are guaranteed available up until May 22nd. After that date they will only be available while the current supply for that set lasts.

ACCESSORIES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST NOW, SO ORDER SOON! LIKE TODAY!

I'm starting with cards posted in May 2016. You can still use the links in the supply lists to find the items in my online store.

First, a card created with Love & Affection stamps and Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (which is 30% off on the Retiring List!)

View the entire post for this card HERE.

Next, a card created with also retiring Traveler. View the full post HERE.

Llama llama! I fell in love with this fun guy from Birthday Fiesta! View the full easel/shaker card post HERE.

I created another Birthday Fiesta card, also using retiring Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper.

View my full post HERE.

I used the bleach stamping technique with Picture Perfect to create my husband's Father's Day card.

Get all the info HERE.

Finally for today, I used the Color Blocking technique with the retiring sets Wetland and Kinda Eclectic.

I can hardly believe it's been almost a year since I created this card! View the whole post HERE.

I'll be back tomorrow with more blasts from the past!
