Retiring Stamp List 2012

It is that time of year folks! The retired stamp list came out in the wee hours of the morning today. It is huge! We have lots of great stamps that are going away to make room for some awesome new stamps in the new catalog. Remember, the new catalog is coming out June 1st!

Online PDF version of the Retired List is here:

You have now until May 31st to purchase any stamp off this list. Once June 1st hits...they are gone for good. Don't let that stamp set on your wish list pass you by. Head on over to my website and place an order for your must haves.

The retired accessories, tools, and other things list will come out on April 25th. Those items are first come first serve, so you will NEED to order early in order to get what you want. I will post that list when it comes online later in the month.

The clearance rack was recently updated, so if you are looking to grab some things the last year at dirt cheap prices...head to my website to check the clearance rack out. Clearance Rack items can only be placed on an online order via my website. I can't do that for you, but if you are having trouble please call me and I can walk you through it. It is really easy.

Happy Stamping!

Button Buddies Blossoms

The Button Buddies stamp set is so versatile. It of course is designed to embellish with buttons, but it looks great without them too! Since I scored some brights buttons for free durign Sale-a-bration, it was the perfect opportunity to use a cute one on this card.

The card is simple and classic...and thats what I love about it. I only used one button for all four flowers. See! You don't have to use a button on everything to make it look awesome.

I stamped the flower in fun, bright colors on a peice of cardstock and then popped that with dimensionals on the Whisper White card base. Even though they are the same color, it just seems to make it look more elegant. A peice of White Baker's Twine tops off my button and then I adhered the button with a glue dot.

All supplies can be purchased on my website for the best deal possible.

Last Chance Folks!

June is an interesting month for Stampin' Up! I find myself overjoyed with getting a sneak peek at all the goodies in the upcoming Idea Book and Catalog for the new year, but sad at the same time since I now have in my hands a copy of the Last Chance lists.

There are so many great things that will not be available come July 1st. You will want to take a look at the lists and see if there is anything on them that you can't live without....or that come July 1st you won't regret not ordering.

Click here to see the Last Chance Stamp List. There are so many good ones leaving. I had lots on my wish list that ended up on the list!

Click here to see the Last Chance Accessories List... keep in mind that accessories are first come first serve and once something is sold out it is gone. Stampin' Up! is unable to order more of those things from the manufacturers.

Click here to see the Last Chance Definitely Decorative List. This list is huge! They are drasticaly reducing the vinyl line so that it fits into the regular catalog.

You can go here to order online at my website.....or you can always call me and I can place your order over the phone.

Happy stamping!
