Saying Farewell to Made to Bloom

So, Stampin' Up! kits are wonderful! We've been focusing a lot these past months on #simplestamping and these hit that nail on the head. Each catalog we offer several different kits and there is always at least one that I love and this past annual catalog it was Made to Bloom! These are perfect for beginners - but still beautiful enough for the avid stamper.

I loved this one so much that I offered two classes with it and my customers loved it too - here's a peek at the card bases and envelope colors.

The fun thing about this kit is that after you make up all the cards you can put them in this beautiful fold up plastic box with the included belly band and it's ready for gift giving.

Below you can see the back and the detail printed on the box.

Here is card 1 from the all inclusive set, which includes several different amazing sentiments.

Here is card design 2 -

and card design 3 -

The kit makes 12 full size cards - 4 each of the 3 designs - and all 12 fit in the box when completed - though you could keep a few for yourself :) I hope you enjoyed seeing these, and if you'd like to own this kit - get it now, as it is only available while supplies last and the SU site says supplies are low! ~Maureen

Saying Goodbye to some Favorites

Pretty much for the rest of this month I am going to be focusing on retiring items from our current catalogs. Everything I show is ONLY available while supplies last and will all be gone when the new catalog starts on June 4 - so don't hesitate if there is some thing you want to get your hands on before it is gone. Here are a few favorites of mine that are leaving -
Card 1 - was made with the Wonderful Romance set from page 11 of our current Occasions catalog. This was the first suite of products I purchased from that catalog - I loved everything about it. Most everything is now sold out - but this beautiful stamp set is still available. This card was colored with our blends - and for some reason it just reminds me of Ireland - I guess it's all that beautiful green.

Card 2 - This is another set I am so surprised is going away - it is the Bloom by Bloom set from page 25 of the Occasions catalog. I loved it right away, as it is full of images that just need to be stamped - no coloring. Don't get me wrong - I love to color, but I know now everyone does, and for some thing quick and easy - this is the kind of stamp you want. It doesn't come with sentiments - but pairs easily with almost any sentiment you might have. Here I took a sentiment from Friendly Expressions in our Annual catalog page 54 - and guess what - this set is also retiring. I thought the bold sentiment with those bold images was the perfect match!

Card 3 - Finally today, I am sharing a card made with the Oh So Eclectic stamp set from page 156 of the Annual catalog and the matching thinlit dies - Eclectic Layers - both of which are retiring. Everyone who knows me knows, I've never met a flower I did not like :) And I just thought these were great! But really makes me sad is losing those amazing thinlits, they not only cut out the images - but just look at that beautiful punched background that the Lipstick cardstock is showing through. So sad to see that go.

I hope you liked some of these ideas - if there are any products here on you have to have list - be sure to go to my website NOW! ~Maureen

2016-18 In-Colors will be retiring soon!

One of the many wonderful features of Stampin’ Up! products is our color coordination. Stampin Up has 5 Color Collections: Regals, Subtles, Brights, Neutrals and In-Colors.The In-Color collection is a little different from our other Core Collections. Each year 5 of the 10 colors go away, and we get 5 new colors. It’s a great way to introduce fresh and trendy colors into your stamp life.

The In-Color Collections are named by the year they were introduced and the year they will be retired. For example, the collection retiring Spring of 2018 is named 2016-2018 In Colors. They are retired with the Annual Catalog. This year’s catalog will be officially retiring May 31, 2018 (marked on the back of the annual catalog).

The official date of the 2018 Retiring List announcement has not been made yet. Probably will be the end of April or May.

Currently, I do not know what else is retiring, nor have the new collection of In-colors been announced. I’ll post this info as soon as it’s announced. I’m giving you this head’s up, so you can start budgeting your purchases and collecting the products you want with these colors before they sell out. They often sell out within days of the Retirement list being announced. I recommend stocking up on these products now, especially ink pad refills and card stock. This way, you’ll have everything you need when the list is announced and won’t have to worry about quick sell-outs. ~Maureen
