Stampin’ Up! Life is Grand and More Retiring Favorites!

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing more retiring favorite samples from the Annual and Occasions Catalog. These stamps, dies, papers, and accessories are all on the Retiring List, and as far as I know they are still available to order. However, you don't want to delay placing your order because everything on the Retiring List is while-supplies-last!

First, I loved creating with the Life is Grand set from the Occasions Catalog. The Piece of Cake set and punch will be carrying over to the new Annual Catalog, but won't have the 10% bundle savings. View this post HERE.

Next, a valentine created with retiring All My Love Designer paper and Sunshine Wishes dies. Get the supply list and more info HERE.

With wedding season coming up, you may want to consider snatching up the To Have and To Hold set before it's gone! Details about this multi-set card are HERE.

Spring also seems to be new baby season, so don't let the retiring Large Letters Alphabet get away from you! The All My Love Designer paper is also retiring. More details and free instructions HERE.

I really loved using the now-retiring All My Love Designer Series Paper on this birthday card for Darcy. Get free instructions HERE.

The Cute Crew Punch Box is another retiring item that you don't want to let pass you by! This punch and stamps will NEVER be offered again!

The box:

Birthday Statements from the Occasions Catalog is another set that is retiring. The designer paper was from Sale-a-bration 2019, so it's already gone. Get the full details and free instructions HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Tea Together Teacup!

Posted on February 7, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have the second card I created with the Tea Together stamp set and Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper. For this card I chose a Mint Macaron note card from the Delightfully Detailed Note Cards & Envelopes pack.

I stamped directly on the Tea Room Specialty paper with Tuxedo Black Momento ink, then cut out with one of the Tea Time Framelits.

I stamped the watercolor-look Mint Macaron note card with the rose from Tea Together and Mint Macaron ink. I then stamped the greeting with black ink, stamped the rose over it, then cut it all out with a Tea Time Framelit.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Life is Grand with black ink, then stamped roses with Mint Macaron.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lattice and a Chalk Marker!

Posted on January 26, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Sometimes while creating cards for a class I end up with extra samples, usually the ones that don't "make the cut" for my stampers to get to make. The card I'm sharing today is lovely, but after I created it I decided to tweak it a bit more for my Sale-a-bration Kick Off Stamp Class. I will share that card with you on Monday. After all, tomorrow is Sunday Swap Day and we can't skip that!

I started by stamping a 4" x 5 1/4" Crumb Cake layer with the Handwritten stamp using Crumb Cake ink. I added a 3 1/4" x 4" Very Vanilla layer, then adhered the 3" x 3 3/4" stamped Crumb Cake layer. I colored the blooms with a White Stampin' Chalk Marker and a Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend.

I heat embossed the greeting from the Sale-a-bration Part of My Story set with White powder, than punched with the Pretty Label Punch. I added a strand of 3/8" Braided Linen Trim to finish.

Inside I stamped a greeting from Life is Grand with Crumb Cake ink. The small bloom is from Lovely Lattice.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Cupcake!

Posted on December 19, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a swap I needed to create using Sneak Peek Occasions and/or Sale-a-bration goodies, so I used the same background technique with the Life is Grand stamp set that I used on my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop card a few days ago. I stamped the Granny Apple Green background with "make a wish" from Life is Grand with Granny Apple Green ink, the cupcake base with Coastal Cabana, the frosting with Melon Mambo, and "Sweet Wishes" with Granny Apple Green ink.

I cut out the cupcake and the greeting with a new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Die from my Occasions Catalog pre-order, then layered it on a Granny Apple Green and then a Coastal Cabana rectangle.

I added a Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dot for a final pop of color.

Inside I stamped a phrase and the sprinkles from Hello Cupcake. I lined the envelope flap with a print from new How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. Those gummy bears are sooooo cute!

Here's your shopping list for today. (The top three items in this table won't be available to order until January 3rd)

Life Is Grand Cling Stamp Set [148744]	Hello Cupcake Photopolymer Stamp Set [149714]	Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies [148551]
