Every time Stampin’ Up! reveals a list of products being retired there’s always a good number of ribbons and embellishments. This year is no different. However while I’m sad to see so many retiring I know there’s lots of pretty new things coming to replace them. So as my latest series of ‘last chance’ projects draws to a close I wanted to highlight one of my favourite ribbons. This Gray Granite 1/4” Shimmer Ribbon was the perfect finishing touch for today’s cute bunny project and it’s one I’ll ... VIEW POST
Dainty Delight
Something I love having in my craft studio are flower dies to make decorations. Different sets of dies and punches come and go, but there’s always something new. As soon as I saw the Dainty Delight Dies I knew I had to get them. While I loved the coordinating stamp set, what stood out for me were the daisy and small leaf dies. These don’t match any stamps however they can be used to decorate, well, anything. So as I’m bringing out my spring décor making this candle collar was a ... VIEW POST
Leaf Fall In Spring
Because the Stampin’ Up! Last Chance List is extensive it takes me a while to get my head around it. After printing the list I go through my current catalogue page by page marking the items that are retiring. This helps me spot things I still want before they’re sold out. After that I compare the old and new catalogues to confirm what’s carrying over. That’s how I noticed the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder wasn’t in either category! In fact it’s still available, but now as an Online ... VIEW POST
Daffodil Designs
Finally it’s time to start showing you products that will be available in a new Online Exclusives category appearing in my online store starting March 1st. One of the great things about this new category is that there’s no end date for the sales period! Some products will be reordered when inventory is low, with others only be available while supplies last. This will enable Stampin’ Up! to respond more quickly to relevant trends. Today’s spring daffodil project features one of three designs from ... VIEW POST
Pansy Petals And Pretty Gingham
With only another five days to go before we see the retiring list I’m continuing to rediscover products I haven’t used in a while. Today I pulled out the Pansy Petals suite but didn’t quite manage to use it all. You see when I opened up the Pansy Dies, out fell a bag of pieces cut from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP). But they hadn’t been fussy cut, I’d actually used the dies to do that. So from there today’s pretty sticky note pad came together really quickly. PANSY PETALS ... VIEW POST
Daisy Addition To Stitched Greenery
It’s the weekend. Yesterday’s lovely spring weather is a distant memory as another storm is making its way across Nova Scotia. Still, while we’re due for copious amounts of rain we’re thankful it’s not snow. Spring is definitely on the way though and I’m eagerly watching for our brown lawn to show signs of new life. After the greening comes a swathe of dandelions, followed by the daisies I love. So that thought prompted me to grab a daisy punch as I prepared to decorate a little gift ... VIEW POST
