Another retiring stamp set I’ve used many, many times is Treat Time! As the name suggests, it’s a good stamp set for treat giving but it also has many sentiments that are perfect for a card! I especially like that there are many different fonts within this set.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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…)
