2024 Jan-April Mini Catalog Feed

A couple of my favorite Retiring Products

This is such an exciting time being with Stampin' Up!  and here are all the reasons (to me) why :

  • The "Last Chance List" has been released.  This is all items set to retire, products that won't be offer in the new catalog with the 10% bundle savings, pricing changes and a few other things.  The "Last Chance List" also offers some discounted items. 
  • Clearance Rack Refresh.  Additional items are added to the Clearance rack.  These are retired items and some offered at a great discount. 
  • Demonstrators like me have already seen the New 2024-2025 Catalog
  • Demonstrators like me have already received the New 2024-2025 Catalog
  • My Favorite:  Demonstrators like me ALREADY have New Product in hand from the upcoming 2024-2025 Catalog
  • New 2024-2025 Catalogs are making it into customers hands (ask me how if you would like one)
  • Incentive trip earners are getting ready to leave on a fabulous vacation and be spoiled rotten.  I should know.... I've been there!
  • We are less than two weeks away from the 2024-2025 Catalog launch

Now... with all that being said, I am going to share two card projects today and two tomorrow (so come back) that include some great retiring products. 

NOTE:  I apologize that I used already Retired DSP (the gingham patterned papers in both my examples)

#stampwithlisabrown #blueberrybunches

I love everything STARRY SKY but it is a 2022-2-24 In Color and is going away, along with PARAKEET PARTY (green).  I just love how the blueberries came out with this color.  Ribbon, embellishments, papers and ink are selling out fast!  I'm happy to say the Blueberry Bunches stamp set is carrying over. 

#stampwithlisabrown #sorefreshing

I hardly got to enjoy this one!  I failed to use last summer and now the So Refreshing Bundle is going away.  I think I might keep this one in my private stash.  LOL!

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop Love Is In The Air

Welcome to our We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Love Is In The Air!

I am excited to show you 2 projects today, using the Sending Love Stamps and Dies.  Yes, it is a bundled product, but I wanted to show a card using the stamps only, and then for the more avid stamper; a card using 9 of the 15 dies from the bundle!  

Here is my stamps only card:

#sendinglovestamps #creativecardcloset

I used Poppy Parade card stock, ink and blends.  All images were colored with Stampin' Blends. 

A little special feature on this card is the Pink (Bubble Bath) envelope coming out of the mailbox.  I used my Paper Snips scissors, cut a slot, and slid part of the little envelope in, so it looks like it is coming out of the mailbox.  

Here is my stepped-up card: 

Note, when you purchase the Sending Love Bundle, you are earn a Free Sale-a-Bration Item.  Here, I used "Most Adorned 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper" as my free item and the background. 

#sendinglovebundle #creativecardcloset

I used Real Red card stock, ink and Stampin' Write marker.  The marker was used to draw stitching on the envelope, as I felt it needed to stand out a little from the white mailbox. 

TIP:  Use the 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 Basic White CS mat to die cut your mailbox, envelope and circle.  Paper saving!

Detailed Dogwood with Softy Sophisticated Embossing

Hello stamping friends.  I wanted to share this beautiful card I received in the mail.  It features several great products that are not in my stash.  I know, hard to believe, right?  I'm a floral girl at heart so I am surprised that I didn't Earn the Detailed Dogwood stamp set or the Softly Sophisticated  Bundle for FREE with Sale-a-Bration (SAB).  Let's take a look at the card first. 

#creativecardcloset #detaileddogwood

First off, this was sent to me by Linda Bauwin at Stamping with Linda.  Thank you Linda!  Love you too!

She stamped the dogwood flower on Thick Basic White card base.  I believe she colored with her Blends and although you can't see it in the photo, the flowers are covered in shimmer from the Wink-a-Stella marker.  Love that effect.  

The frame was cut with the "Perennial Postage Dies" and embossed with the Softly Sophisticated (SAB item) embossing folder.  

Love you words is very unique!  It comes from the "Thoughtful Moments" Hybrid Embossing Folder.  HYBRID = Dies & Embossing Folding that go together!!!

Linda topped off this lovely card with a few Champagne Iridescent Dots for some bling.

Forever Love Suite Collection

Do I have a suite collection for you!  By my blog title, you can see it is called the Forever Love Suite Collection. 

I love when there is a suite collection that includes so much that you almost do not need another thing to make beautiful projects.  Well, except some ink, stamping block(s) and a Cut-n-Emboss machine.  But other than that, this collection has beautiful foil embossed papers, shimmery ribbon, glittering embellishments, foil card bases AND beautiful laser cut envelopes!  Phew!  Amazing. 

I used everything in the suite for the project:
