It's Retirement Time!

When the new Stampin' Up! catalog makes it's appearance (to demonstrators) we get so excited to see what is coming.  But our thoughts also turn to what we are losing, and we prepare to say goodbye to our current favorites.  Such is the case with this set, Magical Day.

I have really enjoyed playing with this set and the lovely designer paper that goes with it.  AND the fabulous Magical Mates framelits dies.  Oh, AND the beautiful Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper.  So to showcase this collection, I created this card.

The base is Smoky Slate, with the bottom third embossed with the Simple Stripes embossing folder (happily carrying over to the next catalog).  The Myths & Magic DSP is layered on a rectangle of Basic Gray and I used a piece of now-retired Glimmer Ribbon from the Sale-a-Bration offerings.

Don't you just LOVE this wizard?  He's stamped in Tuxedo Black, colored with Smoky Slate, Bermuda Bay and Ivory Stampin' Blends, and cut out with the framelit.  His magic ball is the Glimmer Paper, punched with a 1/2" circle punch.

The sentiment was stamped with Tuxedo Black and I first cut the "Magical" with the curved-shape framelit; then I repeated it twice with the top portion.  These two pieces are popped up on Dimensionals, as is Mr. Wizard.

So are you ready to see what is retiring?  I'll post a link to the list here; the list is updated as items sell out and this will be the most current list.

Remember that the 2016-2018 In Colors are retiring too, and once they are gone, they are GONE.  So if you like them, order quickly.  Stamps will continue to be available through May, but paper, inks and accessories are only "while supplies last".

Here's the link; peruse and place your orders before you miss out!

Happy shopping!

Don't delay, or you could miss out!

Sneak PEEK!

I was fortunate to attend the On Stage Stampin' UP! event in San Diego this past weekend.  Such fun!  There were four of us from my group:  Bonnie, Crystal, me and Tani:

We all won FREE stuff!  Can't get any better than that!  But we can't show you any of the images:

We had such fun hearing about brand new products to be released in January, and we all got a new stamp set, Beautiful Ride.  This hit my heart for a number of reasons:  (1) my first car was a VW Bug; (2) my son and his family just moved far away and the sentiments in this set are perfect; and (3) it's a BIG set of stamps that can be used for so many occasions!

I was sworn to secrecy until last night at 9:00 west coast time.  Now that that has passed, I'll show you my first sample:

Is that not the cutest?  Love (<3) this set!

I used Shimmery White card stock so I could paint my bug with an Aquapainter.  Shimmery White is the perfect white (as Watercolor Paper is more vanilla-colored); it's a heavy-weight and takes the water well.

I gave my bug a wash of watered-down Marina Mist, with Smoky Slate accents.

My luggage was fussy-cut and popped up on Dimensionals.

This sweet card is on it's way to my son and daughter-in-law and two grandsons; they have arrived safely in Maryland and spent their first night in their new home (without any furniture) after having their first dinner "picnic-style" on the floor.  They are in for a new adventure...

I hope you enjoyed my sneak peek at what's to come.

{sniff} Time to Say Good-bye!

Fortunately we are only saying "good-bye" to our retiring stamps and accessories!  And that means it's almost time to say "hello" to an all-new catalog and the brand new stamps and accessories being introduced on June 2!

But retiring goodies go fast, so if you see something you want, don't delay!  In fact, some items are already gone...accessories go first, and when they're gone, they are GONE!

Stampin' UP! will continue to manufacture stamps until May 26th, so if your budget is tight, you may want to postpone stamps and get your accessories now.
