Stampin’ Up! Last Chance Retiring List is Here!

Posted on April 16, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Stampin' Up! posted the Retiring List for the Annual and Occasions Catalogs yesterday afternoon, and with just about any Retiring List, there are always some big questions and possible glitches, so I decided to wait until this morning to post about it.

The big change Stampin' Up! has been working on since the beginning of January is to eliminate wood-mount and clear-mount red rubber stamps; converting all red rubber to a new attachment medium called "cling". Cling is far superior to the previous clear-mount because it has a stickiness built in to the picture sticker you put on the back of the stamp. Cling stamps are still the high quality red rubber Stampin' Up! has been famous for during the 30 years they've been in business!

Stampin' Up! will no longer carry any wood-mount red rubber stamps, with the exception of a few background stamps in North America.

Stampin' Up! will continue to offer some stamp sets in the high quality clear photopolymer too.

Here's a little video from Stampin' Up! with more info about Cling-mount stamps:

When you look at the retiring list it may look as if almost ALL of the stamps in the current catalogs are retiring, but they are not. Many sets are merely being "reconfigured" into "cling" mount.

To see the most accurate form of the Retiring List, including pictures, simply go to my online store to view:

Just scroll down a little bit when you get there to find the list link on the right hand side.

Any order placed in my online store through April 30th will receive this Birthday Cheer easel card from me. Birthday Cheer and the coordinating Framelits are no longer available as a bundle because the framelits are already sold out!

Available now! Storage from Stampin’ Up!

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop April 2019 Spring Color Challenge!

Posted on April 14, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the April Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! We're using this color combo today:

Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst are retiring, so order SOON. The Retiring List posts April 15th!

I used the Gatefold Blossoms Dies and Bouquet Blooms to create three cards with the color challenge. This bundle is retiring, but don't wait until the last minute to order. The dies could sell out soon!

I started with a Lemon Lime Twist 8 1/2" x 5" card base to get two from each 8 1/2" x 11" piece. Download my tutorial from this post to get the full directions.

Gatefold Blossoms includes dies to cut out all of these beautiful blossoms!

Bouquet Blooms even includes this "sunburst" image, as well as all of the words I used on these cards.

Whisper White base:

I colored the leaves with a Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Write Marker.

Cute!

I added strips of Lemon Lime Twist 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to this one. The stripes is the flip side of the polka-dots.

Stamping direct-to-paper is a fun look!

Berry Burst (retiring) and Lemon Lime Twist (also retiring) are soooo pretty!

Our hop is small but mighty this month! Click on any of the names in the list for more color inspiration!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Seasons Amazing Birthday!

Posted on March 22, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Things are really starting to get exciting around here! Tonight is my son's wedding rehearsal and tomorrow is the WEDDING! We are all so excited! To be honest, I scheduled all of the posts you've seen this week last weekend to make sure I got them done! lol!

I created today's card with the Painted Seasons & Part of My Story stamp sets, both Sale-a-bration choices, and the Story Label Punch, a March exclusive punch!

I used the "rock n roll" technique to ink the bloom with both So Saffron and Powder Pink ink before stamping on the white card stock. Get the directions to learn how to "rock n roll" when you download my free tutorial near the end of this post.

I punched the greeting and the mat layers with the exclusive-to-March Story Label Punch. Get yours this month before it's gone!

I used one of my favorite birthday sentiments from Humming Along inside.
