It’s the time of year when we say good-bye to many of our annual catalogue favorites and get ready to be amazed by another NEW annual catalogue.
Click on the above links to view the products that are available only until supplies last (excluding stamp sets – they can be ordered right up until May 31st)
As 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) Stampin’Up! is introducing a new Firm Foam pad in 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 order on June 1.
In addition, please note the following changes in the new catalog, which explain some of the products appearing 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.
- Craft Ink Pads (other than black or white per above) and Craft Refills will no longer be offered.
- Classic Ink Refills (other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors) will still be available.
- Stampin’ Spots are being discontinued. Stampin’ Up! may possibly reconfigure & sell some of the Classic Ink Spots.
- Other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors, the Stampin’ Up! colors are NOT retiring.
I hope that information is helpful to you as you plan your final orders from the current Idea Book & Catalogue!
TTFN!

Mighty Medallion
Posted by: | Comments
My hostess for tomorrow’s stamps club chose the Medallion background stamp as the featured stamp set. These are the three cards we will be making – hopefully they showcase what this stamp can do.
The card on the left, was featured last week as part of the Mixed Bunch set sampler. It’s details are here.
The second card has a simple layout with the Medallion used to create a tone-on-tone offset background. Classy and beautiful.
Supplies used:
Stamps – Medallion, Full of Life, Style Beautiful
Ink & Paper – Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Certainly Celery marker
Accessories – eyelet border punch, taffeta ribbon
I’ll be back tomorrow with the third and last card of this set sampler.
TTFN!

Another Challenge Prize
Posted by: | Comments
Last month, I challenged my stamp club members to make a masculine card for the club challenge in March. All who participated had their name entered into a draw for these prizes – jumbo pearls found in the Occasions Mini Catalogue!
Here are a few of the challenge cards made by my stamp club members:
I’m currently in Montana with my sister and 5 of our children enjoying Spring Break. Spring is definitely here!!! We have seen butterflies, green grass, bugs and a robin – none of which we will see in Calgary for another 6 weeks I’m sure! We will enjoy it while we are here – I’ll be back online at the end of the week.
TTFN!
