I’m going to take a long, holiday weekend and won’t be posting tomorrow. I’ll be back next Friday with a new tutorial for you! Happy Easter!
To create today’s card, I used three retiring products: Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (it’s on sale), Today’s Tiles stamp set and our Layering Ovals Dies. These products are available only while supplies last.
I started with a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. A larger oval, using the same dies, was cut out of Shaded Spruce cardstock and layered with the sentiment. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems below the sentiment and added a panel of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Quick and easy!

Today I have two cards to share and they are variations of my Friday Tutorial last week. You can access that tutorial here for all the measurements.
Both cards were made using the So Sentimental Bundle (you always save 10% on bundles) which includes the stamp set, So Sentimental and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The dies ARE returning in the new Annual Catalog but the stamp set is NOT. Both cards were also made using Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, my very favorite paper in the Mini Catalog and one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders. These embossing folders are small and will fit in our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
This first card has a base of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and for the piece under the sentiment is Highland Heather cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.
Since Seaside Spray cardstock has sold out (I’m really going to miss this color), I went with white on white for this card. I used Night of Navy ink for the sentiment and the piece under the sentiment is cut out of Night of Navy cardstock.
Again, if you’d like the measurements, you can access the tutorial here.
When products are retiring it’s always a good idea to pick up your favorites sooner rather than later because they could sell out. To see all the retiring products, please click here.

*** While the items in these bundles are not retiring, they will no longer be available in a bundle after 3 May 2021.

Today I’d like share some cards I’ve previously shared using some of my favorite retiring dies. I never imagined the Stitched Shapes Dies would show up on the Retiring List but sadly, there are. These dies coordinate with the Layering Circles Dies (NOT retiring), Layering Squares Dies (retiring) and Layering Ovals Dies (retiring). If you have any of the Layering Dies or you are purchasing them now before they retire, you might want to consider the Stitched Shapes Dies before they’re gone!
Please be aware that some of the cards I’m sharing were made using products that are no longer available. My purpose in sharing these cards is to show you the dies I’ve mentioned above. In the Supply List you’ll find all the retiring products from the Annual Catalog used on these cards.
This sentiment for this first card was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies (the sentiment is no longer available).
This sentiment on this card is a combination of the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Layering Ovals Dies – both are retiring (the Designer Series paper and embossing folder are no longer available).
This sentiment on this card is also a combination of the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Layering Ovals Dies. The Playful Pets Designer Series Paper is also retiring as well as the Pampered Pets Bundle (both of the products in the bundle are returning in the new catalog but the savings on the bundle is available while supplies last).
This sentiment on this card was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Layering Ovals Dies. I also used Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper, also retiring and 40% off. The Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack is also retiring and 60% off. The stamp set, Good Morning Magnolia, is retiring.
These next two cards were made with the Stitched Shapes Dies and Layering Squares Dies (the Designer Series Paper and stamp set are no longer available on the first card).
This card was made using the Layering Squares Dies (the stamp set is no longer available).
These next two cards were made with the Layering Ovals Dies and Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper which is also retiring. The sentiment used on the first card, Borders Abound, is retiring.
This card uses the Layering Ovals Dies. Also retiring on this card: Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (40% off), Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (10% off) and Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (all of these retiring products are listed in the Supply List below).

Today’s the last day my Forever Greenery Card Sampler will be available!
Place a minimum $50 order at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code GK2NR3AX and as a thank you, you’ll receive 6 card kits (2 each of three designs) with envelopes and a PDF Tutorial with instructions, pictures and a supply list. You’ll receive all the paper and embellishments needed to make the cards and all the paper will be cut, scored and die cut for you (you’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set). For all the details, please click here.
I don’t normally post a new card on Saturday but since this card uses Purple Posy cardstock, one of our RETIRING 2019-2021 In Colors, I thought I better share it before it sells out. FYI: Pretty Peacock & Seaside Spray cardstock have already sold out.
Another retiring product I used to create my card is the Triple Banner Punch. You can always make a banner with your Paper Snips but I like using the punch for a precise cut. This punch is available while supplies last!
I started with a piece of Purple Posy cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. The banner was made using Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and the Triple Banner Punch. The sentiment was stamped in Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the stamp set, Sweet Ice Cream. I cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front. I completed the card by adding three Opal Rounds (these are on backorder but should be back in stock in early April).
Tasteful Touches Bundle: This bundle includes the Tasteful Labels Dies and the Tasteful Touches stamp set. Both of these products will be returning in the new Annual Catalog but this is your last chance to get them together in a bundle. Bundles always save you 10%!

The Last Chance List (Reitiring) was released yesterday. You can access the list HERE and it’s a bit different than the one I shared yesterday, the font is bigger and it only includes English sets. There were a few sad surprises that I’m sharing below. These products are available while supplies last!
The Banner Triple Punch is on sale!
The Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag is great for storing craft items not just the Stamparatus and it’s on sale – normally $29.00, on sale for $11.60.
If you have any questions about products on the Retiring List, please contact me.

Click here for the PDF Version of the Retiring List. Oh my goodness, the print is very small!
Edited to Add: When you click the above link for the Retiring List, you’ll now see a list of just English retiring products and the font is much bigger!
Click here to go to my Online Store to see all the retiring items. Please remember that not all products in retiring bundles are retiring but the savings are! You’ll have to access the PDF to see which products in the bundles are actually retiring.
Some items will sell out REALLY fast!
Everything is while supplies last!
