by Tracy | May 4, 2020 | Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card, Quick & Easy Card
Today’s card features the Springtime Impressions Dies. This set of dies is on the Retiring List and on sale for a great price!
Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, which debuted in the Mini Catalog, is also retiring. I love all the vibrant colors and tropical feel of this paper.
This gate-fold card is really quick and easy to make. The base of the card is a single piece of Old Olive cardstock. To create the gate, the So Saffron cardstock is scored in two places (you can find all the measurements below the supply list).
The butterfly has one Mini Stampin’ Dimensional down its center and is positioned so that it covers both sides of the fold. The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Old Olive ink and was cut out using the Ornate Frames Dies. These dies debuted in the Holiday Mini Catalog and currently can’t be found in a catalog but are available for purchase here. They will be carrying over into the new Annual Catalog which debuts on June 3rd.

Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me during this difficult time. Under normal circumstances my family would have been gathered together to mourn the loss of our loved one but during these trying times, that hasn’t been possible. Your words of support and encouragement have been so appreciated and I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.
The Retiring List was published several days ago and I’m the first to admit that it can be downright confusing. As I mentioned previously, Stampin’ Blends are NOT retiring but you will no longer be able to buy them individually in the new catalog. They will be repackaged as a combo pack only and the item numbers will change which is why they are on the retiring list. Big sigh of relief! But it is possible that once stock is depleted in certain colors that they won’t be available again until the new catalog debuts on June 3rd. Both Old Olive Light and the Old Olive Combo Pack have already sold out so if you don’t want to wait until June to purchase certain colors, I’d recommend getting them now.
Dies
When the current Annual Catalog went live last year, Stampin’ Up! transitioned to a new style of dies and the packaging changed along with new item numbers. Some of the dies in the current catalog still have the old numbers but will transition to new item numbers in the new catalog which explains why certain dies are showing up on the Retiring List but are in fact, NOT RETIRING. It’s my understanding that once stock of the old item numbers is depleted, a switch will be made in the store with the new item numbers. They are:
Well Written
Stitched Rectangles
Layering Circles
Layering Ovals
Layering Squares
Nature’s Roots – on sale!!
Stitched Be Mine
The Woodland Embossing Folder is also on the retiring list but it’s NOT retiring.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
I have a new host code! Use this when placing an order under $150 and you’ll receive an extra card kit. Orders over $150 will automatically receive the extra kit (by not using the host code when your order is over $150, you’ll earn Stampin’ Rewards – FREE PRODUCT – directly from Stampin’ Up! ).
