Saying Goodbye to Picture Perfect Birthday

Today I’m sharing a favorite retiring stamp set. All retiring stamp sets are guaranteed until May 24th and after that they will only be available while supplies last!

I love a good sentiment set and Picture Perfect Birthday definitely has some good ones! This set will work for a birthday  or any other type of celebration.  It’s available in photopolymer which I find really helpful because I can see through it and can get my sentiment straight.

Saying Goodbye to Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets

This week I’m highlighting some retiring favorites of mine.  Today’s product is our Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  I have stocked up on these sheets and seriously, I think I have enough to last me until I’m 80 – I love this product that much! These sheets are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they are close to selling out and once they’re gone, they’re gone!  You can order the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets here.  UPDATE:  The Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets have sold out!  (more…)

Saying Goodbye to Designer Series Paper

I’ve been highlighting my favorite retiring products and today it’s all about Designer Series Paper.  Between the Annual and Occasions Catalogs, Stampin’ Up! has given us gorgeous paper but sadly, they’re all retiring! A few of my favorites have already sold out but there’s still many available that I’ve loved using.  

 Please note that some products on the cards/projects I’ll be highlighting can no longer be purchased but as of this writing, all the papers are still available but only while supplies last.

Here are the papers I’ve loved creating with along with projects I’ve shared this past year.

Saying Goodbye to Retiring Embossing Folders

For the next few weeks I’m highlighting retiring products that have been a staple in my craft room and today it’s all about embossing folders. If you missed yesterday’s post on the Envelope Punch Board, click here

If you follow my blog, you know I love creating with embossing folders.  An embossed piece of cardstock completely changes the look of a card! My Top Three retiring, favorite embossing folders are:

Below are cards I’ve shown previously on my blog.  Please note that some of the products on the cards, such as Designer Series Paper, stamps and embellishments are no longer available but with each card you’ll get a good idea what the embossing folder looks like after it’s gone through the Big Shot. If you’d like more information about each card, please click on the picture and you’ll be directed to that blog post.

Goodbye Envelope Punch Board

Over the next week or so, I ‘m going to do a series featuring retiring Stampin’ Up! products that will be missed!

I’m going to start with the Envelope Punch Board. It’s name suggests that it’s just for making envelopes but this little board can do so much more! 

Envelope Punch Board

Over the past several years I’ve featured many projects using the Envelope Punch Board that I’m going to share again.  Please note that most of the projects use products that are no longer available but you can follow the directions and use the products you have! My purpose in sharing these projects again is to show you all the fun projects you can make with this awesome tool but please know that most of the products used can no longer be purchased. The Envelope Punch Board is still available but only while supplies last.  (more…)
