Stampin Up Retiring Lists 2023 (also called Last Chance Lists now)

Hey friends. As I mentioned yesterday, it's time to say goodbye to some products and colours.

The lists of products from these two current catalogues (2023 Annual Catalogue and 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue) have just been released.

• You can purchase any of these from today and they are only available while stocks last. 
• There will be a "Last Chance" section in the store until April 4th (but just purchase before hand if you want using code or name to search).
• When there is a sale price listed, the sale price doesn't take effect until April 4th. Very important: if you are ordering online, you will need to start a new order after April 4th for sale prices to take effect.
• If there are things which aren't on sale after 4th April - grab them now to be sure.
• I expect any of retiring colour products and the Stamparatus to go fast. Maybe some others as I haven't had a close look at the list myself yet. I'll be back with my 'picks' of the retiring lists.

Stampin' Up! Queen Bee Birthday Card using Elegant Border Dies

Today I have a handmade birthday card for you using the Stampin' Up! Queen Bee bundle from the 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue, and the Elegant Border dies (released March 2023 as part of the Online Exclusives drop). This bundle really took my eye when I first glanced at the catalogue. I love it's vintage vibe.

My first sample uses Petal Pink as the base and some die cuts and some Fancy Flora DSP as the second layer. The bee is stamped in Soft Suede and immediately over-stamped with Versamark and clear embossed. This gives a deeply coloured, shiny image.

The floral die cuts fit really nicely around the largest stitched circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. I love that stitched label which comes in the dies from the bundle too. I popped a couple of Champagne Rhinestones on either end. The little flower is die cut from Distressed Gold Specialty Paper with a pearl in the middle.

For my second sample, I have used Crumb Cake as the base, and I have randomly stamped on the base card in Crumb cake ink. I used one of the die cut Elegant Border Dies (in the Online Exclusives section of the online store or order direct through me - see below) for the Evening Evergreen piece, and a scrap of Fancy Flora that was laying on my desk for the DSP piece. I think this particular Elegant Border piece is really well suited to vintage cards. I also die cut some of the smaller bees and leaves with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.

For the Queen Bee, I embossed her in gold, and popped her on top of some linen thread.

Here's a closer look at the Queen Bee Bundle. This bundle is in the 2023 January to April Mini. We don't know if it's carrying over yet. but we will know tomorrow. It's Item 160485 and is $87.25 for the 10% off bundle. You can buy the stamp set or dies individually if you prefer.

Here's a look at the Elegant Border Dies. They are item 161593 and are $56. These ones are part of the new Online Exclusives. They aren't in catalogues, but you can check them out in the online exclusives section in the online store. You can order them either online, or by contacting me directly by phone (0412 120 498) or email ([email protected]). 

I hope you have liked todays cards. Don't forget to pop back in the morning to view the retiring colours and retiring products lists and to see what the new colours are!

See you then,

Claire

Free 12 sheet Regency Park Paper Pack with Stampin' Up! Petal Park Punch Bundle Purchase

Hello friends, today I have a bright but quick and easy floral card made with the Stampin' Up! Petal Park stamp set and coordinating punch.

You can use the punch to punch out two different types of stamped flowers, and the punch also can cut out cardstock floral layers, which when put together make a cute dimensional floral image (or use them separately as embellishments).

Here's a card I made recently using this Stampin Up Petal Park bundle and the new Radiating Stitches Dies (which aren't in a catalogue but can be found in the new online exclusives section in the website, and either purchased online or directly through me).

In this instance I have used the stamped flowers in Melon Mambo and cut them out with the punch. I have then popped them up with Dimensionals, and added an Iridescent Rhinestone Embellishment to the centre of each flower. The background leaves are stamped with Granny Apple Green, and the sentiment is embossed in white embossing powder onto a label cut out from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I stamped some of the smaller flowers in Basic Grey onto the Basic Grey base card. I like how that carries through the imagery and ties everything together.

Here's another sample from the Stampin' Up! concept artists.

If you are looking for more ideas to use this bundle, check out my Petal Park Pinterest board. I have saved 29 inspiring samples on there to date.

Stampin' Up! Fun Fold Cards: How to make a Diagonal Joyfold Card

I blogged this Diagonal Joy Fold fun fold card back in December, but since then I have had lots of requests for instructions and measurements. It uses the gorgeous Fancy Flora DSP from the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue.

I have a FREE written tutorial you can download at the end of the post (with measurements in both imperial and metric), but here are a few more photos for you.

I have used Orchid Oasis cardstock as the base, Fancy Flora DSP from the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue for the paper, and Artistically Inked Stamp Set for the stamped embellishments and sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Whale of a Time Masculine Birthday Card

Hello friends. Today I have a masculine birthday card for you, combining the By the Bay DSP in the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue, with the Whale Done stamp set and punch from the Stampin' Up! 2022 Annual Catalogue. It's the perfect masculine birthday card, especially for the fishermen in your life.

This sheet of DSP is perfect for masculine cards and anyone who loves fishing! It's one of the foiled sheets in the By the Bay DSP in the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April mini catalogue.

Here is a closer look at the sheet I used. These are 6x6" DSP sheets so this one was perfect for a fish themed card front. The fish are finished in gold foil, which didn't show up as well in my card photo.

The stamp set I have used is the Whale Done stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

There is also a coordinating Whale Builder Punch.

I have also used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut the stitched squares and stitched sentiment label for my card. I use these dies SO much - definitely a versatile die set to add to your collection. My base card and one of the stitched squares is cut in Coastal Cabana. The stamping is in Night of Navy.

If you love the By the Bay DSP or ocean themes cards, I have a PDF Instant Download class available using this suite which is available to purchase anywhere that has PayPal through my PDF Class store.
