Stampin' Up!'s Retiring Stamps List is here!

Stampin' Up! has released the list of stamp sets that will retire on May 31, 2012 and it is definitely a long one.  As you already know, Stampin' Up! is changing their catalog strategy and this is what brought about such a long list of stamps and accessories on the retiring list.  However, there is one announcement as part of the catalog transition that is exciting - ALL stamp sets - with the exception of A La Carte and a few background stamps - will be offered in clear mount.

Retiring Accessories and Definitely Decorative lists will be posted on April 25.

Stampin' Up!'s Nature Walk Stamp Set...

 Here's a Flip Flap card that we made at a recent workshop using the Nature Walk stamp set.  The top right piece folds down and the bottom left piece folds inward to make this into a regular size card.  Pretty cool, huh?  Also, when cutting this card out of an 8 1/2"x11" piece of paper, you end up with two of these cards.

Here's the finished card.  This technique is also on my list for Technique Tuesday so keep your eyes open!

Stampin' Up!'s Apothecary Art Stamp Set....

 Here's a card we made back in February at one of my workshops.  It is a 6 fold card - the perfect type of card for using your Simply Scored and the new Diagonal Plate! 

Keep your eye out for the Technique Tuesday tutorial on how to make these fun cards.  It is on my list but I wanted to share this card with you early since the Apothecary Art stamp set is only available through the end of April.

Stampin' Up!'s Happiness Shared on a 3 Tier Card

 Back on February 21, my Technique Tuesday was a tutorial on making a 3 Tier Card using the Bordering on Romance stamp set.  This time, I thought I would show you another 3 Tier card I made using the Happiness Shared and Word Play stamp sets.  We made this card back at a February workshop and I just came across my picture of it so I thought I would show it to you.

Here's what the card looks like closed.

Stampin' Up!'s Packed for Baby Stamp Set...

This card was one of my favorites from Deb's WOW swap. When I first saw the Packed For ... group of stamps, I didn't think I would like them but since I received them for free as part of Book-a-thon that I participated in, I hoped someone would come up with some great ideas for them. I was right - I have seen lots of great cards made with these stamps. This is my favorite for the baby stamp.




She finished the card on the inside is such a cute way too!
