When I’m crafting, it looks like a tornado went over my table. An idea will pop into my head and I immediately put down what’s in my hand and grab something else. Are you the same way? Unfortunately when it’s time to clean up, I end up with a few stray pieces, and I have no idea where they go. I’ve had this problem with Big Shot Framelits and Thinlits, especially the small pieces! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked myself, “Oh no, what set does this belong to???”
No more!! The other day as I was cleaning up, I realized that the number of the set is on each piece!!!!! How did I never realize this? It would have saved me so much time. Definitely a tip I wanted to pass on to you. I’d like to think I’m not the only one who wasn’t aware of this!!

The Retirement sale is in full swing and many products are already gone. Products from the Annual and Occasions catalog are included in this sale and everything is while supplies last, except for stamps which are guaranteed until May 22nd and then they go on while supplies last status. The Occasions catalog is available until May 31st but if a product is on the list, it still follows the same rules as above. Order early so you aren’t disappointed.
I’ve had a few questions about the Basic Pearls and Basic Rhinestones. They have sold out but they will be returning in the new catalog in new sizes! Yay!!!
There are two ways to check out the retiring products:
- Click here to see pictures and prices at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Click here for a PDF which includes a list of the products and the page numbers where they can be located in the catalogs.

Today’s card is one that I made back in June when the stamp set, Sitting Here, was just released. Doesn’t the kitty look so relaxed sitting on the swing?

I stamped the kitty and the pillows onto Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut them out. It gives a nice dimensional look to the card. The oval was cut out with the Layering Ovals Framelits and popped up with our Foam Adhesive Strips . The sentiment is in the stamp set Rose Wonder.
Because I made the card so long ago, I cannot remember what I used to color the stamped images. I believe I used my Copic Markers (non Stampin’ Up! supply) but our Stampin’ Write markers are also another option.
