The retiring products list is out! The retiring stamps and accessories from the 2014-2015 catalog will be available while supplies last until June 2; however, due to high demand for retiring stamps, Stampin’ Up! will keep producing retiring stamps through May 26 (not accessories-accessories are only while supplies last). Some of these products have discounts up to 50 percent off retail, so don’t miss out!
There are definitely items on the list that I am sad to see leaving such as the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I LOVE that folder and use it ALL. THE. TIME!! Be sure to check out the list and purchase items that you’ve had your eye on!

It is hard to tell by the top picture but this is a window card (it’s easier to see in the bottom picture). I should have changed my background when I photographed it but I realized this too late – after I already sent the card off!
The sentiment comes from a photopolymer set called Lovely Amazing You (#140594). It can’t be found in any of our catalogs but I do have it in my product list below. I stamped two flowers from the set Petal Potpourri and punched them out with the Flower Medallion punch. I thought the card could use a little sparkle so the centers have a 1/2″ circle of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.

I covered my notepads with paper from the Brights Designer Series Paper Pack. We have these paper packs in each of the color families. The paper measures 12 x 12 and there are 40 sheets with 2 each of 2 double sided designs. My favorite design is definitely the dots!
In my supply list I’ve not only listed the Petal Potpourri stamp set but the bundles as well. If you purchase the stamp set along with the punch, you’ll receive a 15% discount!
I used the Painted Petals stamp set to color the flowers on the note tag punch piece. Using my Stampin’ Write markers, I colored directly onto the stamp. Not all of our markers are sold separately but Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry can be purchased individually. I also used Bermuda Bay but it can only be be purchased in the Brights set (which also includes Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry). The stems were colored using Garden Green, found in the Regals Collection of markers.
If you have any questions about the notepads or placing an order, please don’t hesitate to email me!

Last week I celebrated my 6th Anniversary with Stampin’ Up! and I still have a stamp set that I’m giving away. For a chance to win the stamp set Simply Wonderful, leave a comment telling me your favorite 2013-2015 In Color – Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar or Crisp Cantaloupe. If you would like to leave a comment (you have until NOON Pacific time today), you can check out Saturday’s post, here!
My card today is all about tulips! I used the Love is Kindness stamp set. It does come with its own sentiment but instead of using it, I simply covered it up with a post it note, stamped the image in Staz-On, removed the post it note and stamped in onto a piece of vellum.
Wood #137131 $8.95
I started out coloring the image on the back but I have to say that I like the vibrancy that is achieved when you color on the front! I used my Rose Red and Garden Green stamp pads along with my Aqua Painter to color the image.
I made a frame with my Oval Framelits and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the top layer of the card.
The top card is the final version of my card but the one below is the same card but with one change. Can you tell what I did differently? I’ll tell you at the end of the post!

In addition to a thank you card this month, I will send you one of my 3 x 5 DSP Covered Notepads!
Were you able to figure out the subtle difference between the two cards? After I finished coloring my image (the bottom card), I stamped the image again with Staz-On onto Whisper White. Then I cut out the newspaper and glued it onto my colored image (the top card). Did you guess correctly?
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
