I hate to admit it but I’ve had this cute paper for months and used it for the first time yesterday! What was I thinking?? It’s a shame because it’s retiring!! And guess what, it’s ON SALE for 40% off but ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. It’s normally $13.00 but on sale for $7.80. If you think you want it, grab it quick!
The stamp set I used, Cool Treats, coordinates with this paper but it isn’t retiring. There’s also coordinating framelits which are also NOT retiring. But the BUNDLE, is. Confusing, isn’t it? What this means is that if you purchase the bundle, which includes the stamp set Cool Treats and the Frozen Treats Framelits dies, you’ll get it at a discount of 10%. Although these two pieces will be back in the new catalog, the 10% discount won’t. This bundle is also WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. Don’t wait!
I’ve listed all of the supplies I used to make my card below. The sale price for the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper will not show up unless you click the picture! Remember, this paper and the bundle are while supplies last!

Today I wanted to share a card made by Linda Wheelock, a member of my Stampin’ Up! team. Isn’t it beautiful? She used the Speciality Designer Series Paper, Affectionately Yours which is on the retired list AND on sale. It’s normally $13.00 but while supplies last, you can pick it up for $9.10.

It looks like Linda used Night of Navy cardstock which matches beautifully with this paper. The stamp set, Love and Affection (#141545) was used for the leaves and the the flower in the middle. The stamp set Birthday Banners (#141506) was used for the sentiment, Happy Birthday. To finish the card, Linda used a pearl in the center. Unfortunately the Basic Pearls are no longer available until June when the new catalog comes out.
I’m so glad that Linda agreed to let me show you her card!

Did you know that there are Bundle prices throughout the Occasions and Annual Catalogs? Two products are bundled together for a discount of 10%. ALL of the bundles are retiring but this doesn’t mean that the products themselves are retiring.

The Ready to Pop Bundle (click on the picture to see it enlarged) is one of the retiring bundles. The stamp set and Thinlits will be in the new catalog but the 10% discount won’t be available. This bundle is WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
But please note this, if you are interested in a bundle, PLEASE check on the individual pieces FIRST. In some instances, buying the two items individually is cheaper than the bundle!! Normally this isn’t the case but with the retiring sale, you need to check!
The Birthday Fiesta Bundle is another bundle in the catalog. Both the stamp set and the Framelits are retiring. Neither product is on sale so your best price IS the bundle but the bundle is while supplies last!

The Sweet Cupcake Bundle includes the Sweet Cupcake stamp set and the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits. Neither of these two products are retiring so the bundle is a great deal! Again, while supplies last! 
If you have any questions about any of the bundles, don’t hesitate to email me!

I hope your week has started off well! Today I am sharing cards I made over the weekend to send out to customers who placed orders in the last few days.

I don’t like sharing product that you can’t purchase so while I would normally add some pearls or rhinestones to my card, I didn’t as they’ve sold out.
The paper I used to cut out the butterflies, Floral Boutique, is on the retired list but as of right now, it’s available and not showing up as being low inventory. I used the Petal Burst embossing folder for the Whisper White layer. You could definitely make the card without the embossing but I think it adds a nice touch.
Tip: I used glue dots down the center of the butterfly. You could also use Stampin’ Dimensionals.
You’ll find a list of all the products I used to make this card below as well as the measurements for the layers.

Measurements for Layers
Thick Whisper White: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
Night of Navy cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″
Whisper White: 3-3/4″ x 5″

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.
