Retired Stamps List, etc.






Hello! Today is my birthday. I want to say Thank you to everyone that's had a part in my life over these last (ahem) 30 years or so ;) I feel so blessed to be where I am today, with a wonderful family and a job that I love, and all of you, too!







An update on my daughter- Most of you know that my 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with Breast Cancer back in January. This afternoon, she'll be having surgery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.







Don't forget about class tomorrow: Sizzix Club with the Purse Die at either 10am to Noon or 7:00pm to 9:00pm. If you're still interested in coming, you can use my die tomorrow and we'll order yours after class. See previous post for the picture and more details.







Well, it's that time of year again. I personally have a bit of a love / hate relationship with the retired list. On the one hand, it's exciting to know that we'll have new stamp sets coming out soon. But, on the other hand, I have to give up some of my favorite stamp sets! It's like giving away one of my kids (well, one of the good ones anyway! LOL!)







Click on the link HERE to go to the list. It's in Numerical order based on the catalog page number. I find it helpful to use a pink highlighter directly in my catalog. That way, it's there if you decide to peek through and order those items that you just have to own! These stamps are only available until May 31st, place your order today so you don't miss out.







OR you can click here to go to the website that shows pictures, pricing etc. for all of the retiring stamps. WOOD Stamps or CLEAR Mount Stamps, your choice. Don't forget to click through all the pages!

Have a great day!

You're My Type

Today's card is one that I received as a swap (I think it may have been at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference this year). The creator was Donna Cornelius, another SU! Demonstrator. I really love everything about this card. It's the basis for my Template # 62.



Enjoy!
Have a great day!

Send Me Soaring



This card is one we made as a Make and Take project at the San Antonio Regional Seminar back in January. I used it as the inspiration card for my Template #58. Someone was really thinking when they designed this. The dotted kite image from Send Me Soaring was stamped and then punched out for both the heart shapes on the flower and the leaf shape down on the stem. We also used a larger circle punch to punch the bottom right corner! I love seeing new ideas for our punches, don't you?

Lean on Me

Well, I know that I've seen a similar (and, actually much more detailed and beautiful card) somewhere else, but I can't remember where. When I re-created the card, I know I simplified it quite a bit. This ended up being the inspiration for my Template #57.




When you try this look on your own, don't forget to stamp and color your image before embossing it. That's the only way you'll get a crisp image. Don't you just love the way it looks?

Have a great day!

Fancy Folds 3x3's for swap



Those of you who know me, know what a fiend I am for little cards (well, any cards really, but especially the little ones!). I recently had the opportunity to participate in a 3x3 card swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and this is one of the cards I made. I participated in 3 different rounds so you'll be seeing the other two in the next few days. The good news is, I made extras! So, some of you will be seeing these little cards as Thank You's in upcoming orders :)













Have a great day!
