This is my second post of the day to give a little more information regarding the retiring list and colors.
Remember: Retiring colors sell out quickly!! If you have a favorite paper, ink pad, ink refill, and coordinating products grab them now.
There are 13 Core Stampin’ Up! colors retiring in the Revamp. They are:
Always Artichoke
Chocolate Chip
Elegant Eggplant
Island Indigo
Marina Mist
Perfect Plum
Pink Piroutte
Rose Red
Soft Sky
Tangerine Tango
Tempting Turquoise
Wild Wasabi
Wisteria Wonder
Also the expected group of In Colors are retiring as well. They are:
Dapper Denim
Emerald Envy
Peekaboo Peach
Sweet Sugar Plum
Flirty Flamingo ** This is retiring as an In Color, but making an immediate come back as a Core Color.
Tools and Accessories that are retiring are only While Supplies Last. So they could be gone very quickly. And the retiring colors will be close behind. Everyone has a favorite they want to stock up on.
NOTE: The retiring list shows that all Ink Pads are retiring. This is only because there is a new pad design coming out. So please do not be confused by this. And you will love the new pad design!! They open easier and they stack on top of each other for much easier storage.
I have added the lists and you can click on the link to view and print each list. Also the “Last Chance” link will take you to my online store to go ahead and grab those items you do not want to miss out on.
Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that. New Subscribers who sign up before April 10, will receive April and May for half price. So 2 months for the price of 1. A great deal. Use my link HERE, and enter the code: SAVEFIFTY0418
It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
The card I have for you today is quick and easy, but super cute and funny. I needed a quick card for my Stamp Club on Sunday since I was preparing for Brian King’s Spring Event and the Stampin’ Up! Onstage Event for the last week or two. Actually I needed to have all three cards ready to go so I could unload the car and go again on Sunday. But cute, quick , and easy are what I always try to do. So enough of the babble, here is one of the cards we made at Club.
Birthday Wit, 145753
I adore this sentiment, and the matching inside sentiment is just as good. Although I forgot to photograph that. It says “Nothing Says Happy Birthday Like A Piece of Paper Folded In Half”! I love that !
Do you remember when we were kids? Assuming you are anywhere close to my age……. And Blue and Green were never placed together on anything. Now I say that was so dumb! Because I love these colors together. They really pop! The best part of this DSP is that it is another unexpected find. It is the “back” of the Pick A Pattern DSP that has the animals and trees on it. I cannot believe I never noticed it before! I believe this package of DSP is one of the best ever.
Thank you for visiting today! I will be sharing the other two Club cards this week as well.
REMINDER: It is that time of year. The Retiring List is out. Click on the link below to shop before the ones you love are sold out.

I am sharing with you today the card that I made for a card swap with other demonstrators over the weekend. I received a similar card several years ago in a different swap and have used variations of it several times. I love it and I hope you will see the versatility of it as well.
Beautiful Bouquet, 143666
This stamp set has such gorgeous and sweet sentiments. The entire stamp set is wonderful, from the different fonts of the sentiments, the variety of flowers, and of course…..the matching framelits! It is definitely a keeper. The sentiment I used here is my favorite though. Who would not feel extra special receiving a card with that sweet thought on the front.
I went a little over my norm in terms of the amount of layers and embellishments. The embossed background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. It is a great folder in that the impression is great on either side. The splatter on the Wild Wasabi layer is from Touches of Texture stamp set. I used it again beneath the flowers on the top layer. The edge of the white layer is the Ticket Tear Border Punch. This is an awesome punch that I need to use more often. The ribbon is from the Occasions Catalog and is the Whisper White Organza Ribbon. And of course the elegant pearls at the bottom just finish it off.
Since this is a CASE card, I would love to see a CASE that you do of my card! I think that would be so fun. If you will send them to me, I will add them to a post.
Thank you for visiting today and I hope you have a good week ahead. The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the page.

As part of the Stamping Event I am enjoying today, we are doing a Shoebox Swap tonight. I decided to make a versatile card. My card is designed for a baby/Mom & Dad card. However, by simply changing one stamp it would be changed for almost any occasion. The Designer Series Paper would work for almost any reason as well.
Better Together, 141736
I know you have seen this card before either from me or others. It is such a useful and pretty card that it needs repeating periodically I do believe!
With using this beautiful Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, I really did not want to cover it up. So I went with simplicity in the focal point on the front which allows the DSP to shine.
And here is a view of the inside and the gift card slot.
Now you see the gift card slot and will understand the directions listed under Measurements below. Be sure and add the Tear & Tape close to the edge so you have plenty of room for your gift card. Although if you do make it too tight, it is not the end of the world….. There is plenty of room for the card to slide in long way also. Not planned, but a nice unexpected find!!
NOTE: If you are like me and really love this paper, buy morel now!!! As it gets closer to the new catalog this, and other items, may sell out. And they will definitely be retired when the current catalog ends. Sad, but happy to see what new papers are revealed!
Thank you so much for visiting today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you. And if you do not currently have a SU Demonstrator, I would love to send you a catalog and help you with any future purchases.
The measurements and the supplies are listed further down. I hope you have an awesome weekend!!
Fold and burnish the score lines. Fold the smallest section to the inside.
Place Tear & Tape on each side of the small section close to the edges. Your gift card slides in here.
Cut 2 Whisper White pieces at 3 3/4 X 4 (1 is the inside layer)
Cut 1 Whisper White piece at 1 1/4 X 4 for the side piece
Cut DSP at 3 1/2 X 3 3/4 and 1 X 3 3/4
Sentiment layers are: Soft Sky = 1 3/4 X 2 1/4, and Whisper White = 1 5/8 X 2 1/8

One of the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator perks is attending the Fun, Exciting, and Informative Stampin’ Up! events each year. This year there is one here in Atlanta on Saturday. To add to the exciting weekend, my spline Brian King, is hosting a Spring event the day before. My post for Friday will be the card I have made to use to swap with other demonstrators. But today’s post is a simple Treat Holder that I have made for the other demonstrators I will be sharing a table with. (Ssshhhh Don’t tell them!) If you have been stampings and papercraftingl for several years you will probably remember the old Sour Cream Container Treat Holders. That is what I have made. If you are relatively new, then you will have the directions for a quick and easy treat holder. A win/win.
Crafting Forever, 143958
I made these very plain on purpose. I wanted to show you a great treat holder that can be done very inexpensively. These are made with Whisper White, not the think, card stock. I stamped the “stamp” from Crafting Forever in Sahara Sand and then colored the little hearts in various pinks from the Stampin’ Write Markers.
As long las you begin with a square piece of card stock or DSP, you can make almost any size of these. I used a piece that is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2. That way I could get 2 holders out of each sheet of paper. There is a good sized piece leftover that can be used for tags to add to the holder, or scraps stamping. Another advantage to the Whisper White card stock is that if I wanted to tie on a tag, I could easily punch through one end with a circle punch. Since the white is thinner, it would not be as difficult to punch trough two layers.
To make the treat box, I stamped and then added Tear & Tape to one end of the front side. I then turned it over and added the tape to each side that is adjacent to the tape on the front. Here are pictures.
Hopefully you can see the tape. In retrospect the white was not the best choice to use for the photos. Sorry about that! However, these are showing the tape placement. To close the container, remove all of the tap covers. Then roll the paper in your hand and overlap the opposite side of the front onto the taped edge. I place the tape very close to the edge and that helps in adhering straight. Once that is secure, you will have a small roll, like a toilet paper cardboard tube. Or if you want to think in nicer terms, 1/2 of a paper towel tube ! 🙂 Now squeeze one end and it will stick the together. Fill the tube with candy or a small gift and then squeeze the other end together, BUT in the opposite direction of the first one. You can see what I mean from the original post picture hopefully!
These really are easy and fun to make and can be personalized for any type event. I hope you will give them a try if you have not seen them before.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day! The supplies I used are at the bottom of the page. And if you have any questions about these little holders, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have fun!!
