Enjoy your Saturday!

Stampin' Up! Retiring Accessories List

Get them before they are gone! The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are now available and won't stay around for long--these items are only available while supplies last! Select retiring accessories are listed at a discount price some are upto 60% off savings. 

Stampin' Up! Retiring Accessories 

Stampin' Up! Definitely Decorative {including Décor Elements}

Stampin' Up! Retiring Stamp Sets 

When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.

The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images. They will be available for customer order on June 1.

In addition, please note the following changes in the new catalog, which explanation some of the products being on the retired list:

• Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)
• 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered.
• 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections.
• Any item with an asterisk next to it is being reconfigured.  An example of this could be repackaging, as in the example above of the markers.
• Other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors, the Stampin' Up! colors are NOT retiring.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: 

Two items that were included on the Retiring Accessories List are not actually retiring. We have updated the lists to remove these items.

Craft Scissors #108360  pg.208

Paper Snips  #103579    pg. 208

Going, Going GONE!

Hundreds of stamps and accessories from the 2011-2012 catalogs are retiring, and this is your chance to get them before they're gone. Many products are only available while supplies last, so be sure to get your orders in early! Click here to view retired pdf list or here to shop retired products at my store.

When you view the retiring stamps list, you may notice it's longer than in years past. During this transition to the new annual catalog, there are a higher number of stamps being refreshed and replaced than usual. While many stamps are going away, most are being replaced so that the breadth of our stamp lines is every bit as broad as ever!

Stay tuned April 25th for release of the retired accessories list.

With Sympathy

This type of card is always the hardest for me to make. Hopefully the family that received this card knows that they are in our thoughts and prayers. I cased a layout from a card that is in the Idea Book & Catalog and a layout that I have seen on numerous blogs. I love the clean and simple layout.

Here is another altered notebook that I made for someone. My sister's piano teacher really wanted soft neutral colors with a subtle splash of color.

Ahoy MAtey!

Here are some of the Pirate Goodies I made for Caleb's playdate birthday party. This first picture is of a little coloring book that I made and put in the kiddos goodie treasure chest. I found some fun pirate coloring pages online and just printed from that. In case you are wondering this cute little pirate boy is a non stampin' up image. I ran across him on google images and thought he was the perfect pirate for my little guy. I typed out Ahoy Matey in the Algerian font and just printed and punched as needed using our handy modern label punch. Easy Peasy!
Here's a look at the treasure chests all together. I found these little treasures at oriental trading co.
