Best Catch Stamp Anniversary Card

Anniversary card using Best Catch stamp set

This anniversary card uses the Best Catch stamp set (148598) found in the 2019-2020 Annual catalog on pg 150 and the coordinating Catch of the Day dies (148815). Today is our 55th wedding anniversary and I wanted a quick card for my husband. Since he loves fishing, this Best Catch stamp set was the perfect choice.

The card base is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Seaside Spray cardstock folded in half. I cut the cattails out of Mossy Meadow cardstock and colored the actual cattails with an Early Espresso marker. I stamped the large fish onto a piece of Champagne Foil Sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I cut it out and one each of the smaller fish dies.

I originally stamped the greeting directly on the cardfront with Memento ink and, of course, messed it up! So I stamped it on a scrap of Seaside Spray cardstock and cut it out with the single rectangle of the Stitched Rectangles dies and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. So often correcting/covering a boo boo enhances the design of the card!

Fun with The Everything Is Rosy Product Medley

Handmade card using supplies from the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley

I have been having fun with the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley. I am a sucker for things shiny and gold and the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley is filled with shiny and gold accents! Here is one of the cards I have created with this medley.

Details of the Fun with Everything Is Rosy Product Medley Card

The card base is one of the new 2019 – 2021 In Colors, Rococo Rose cardstock (150882 – available June 4) cut to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ . I cut a 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ strip of the navy with rose gold swirls pattern from the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley specialty designer series paper stack and added it to the bottom of the card front.

On of the things I really like about the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley are the rose gold foil sheets…you get 8 of them 6″ x 6″. I used one of the dies from this medley to cut the leafy branches. To get a mirror image of the die-cut, I cut one of them from the back side of the foil sheet.

The greeting for this card comes from a retiring stamp set, Strong & Beautiful (148732) that is in the Occasions catalog. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy ink and cut it out with one of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (148551). I adhered it to the cardfront and then used one of the retired Multipurpose adhesive sheets to adhere the leafy branches over the label.

Time to Say Good Bye to favorites!

It's time to say goodby to the items on the retirement list

It’s time to say good bye to many of our favorite products that are on the retirement list found here. The list is longer than usual and there are several reasons for this need to say good bye to so many items.

It’s time to say good bye to products because Stampin’ Up! has to make room for new stamps, accessories, and tools in their inventory and storage areas. The company carefully considers how well each product sells as part of their decision-making when creating a new catalog. This year they also considered some ideas and concerns from demonstrators across all the markets in designing the new catalog.

One of the concerns was that the previous catalog was too heavy and mailing them was quite expensive in some markets. Therefore the new catalog has fewer pages. This means that they could show fewer products.

It’s time to say good bye to so many products for the reason that demonstrators requested larger pictures of the stamp and die sets. Stampin’ Up! heard and the images are bigger in the new catalog. Now we can see the details of the sets much more easily.

It’s time to say goodby for a third reason: the retirement list is so long because Stampin’ Up! will no longer offer clear mount and wood mount stamps. They are offering the same wonderful red rubber stamps with a super sticky label enabling them to stay on clear blocks. Many current wood mount and clear mount stamp sets will be reconfigured with the cling labels but are on the retiring list as wood mount and clear mount stamps. Come June 4th when the new catalog is live, all the stamps will either be cling mount or photopolymer. So don’t freak out when you see all the stamp sets from the 2018-2019 catalog being listed on the retirement list.

In order to not have to say good bye to those stamps and other products you have been meaning to purchase, you must buy them NOW! Stampin’ Up! makes their own stamps so they can guarantee delivery of retiring stamps up to May 24. All the other products are as long as supply lasts. Already the cutting plates for the Big Shot are out of stock and discontinued as an example. The best way to know if an item is still available is to order through my online store. While you are ordering, remember to keep track on my Customer Appreciation form. Read about that program I offer here.
