If you haven’t RSVP’d do so now by e-mailing me s-pdavid@sympatico.ca.

Close as a Memory...

I thought I'd post a few older cards I have made using another popular stamp set, Close as a Memory, which is retiring soon. I do love the flowers in this stamp set and I will miss it because it is a super easy stamp set for Sympathy cards.

My last order for retiring stamp sets will be going in on Friday. If there is anything you want off this list let me know before then!

Trendy Trees....

This is such a cute stamp set, I am so happy that it is going to be sticking around! The beautiful Chocolate Taffeta is retiring (there is still going to be a dark brown ribbon in the new catalogue, only it's going to be Early Espresso, totally yummy!)

I haven't been keeping up with my blog that much this month, I apologize, but I am busy stamping and getting all the things that need to be ready for my July 3rd open house right now.
If you haven't RSVP'ed please send me an e-mail. The deadline for RSVP'ing, if you would like to do the free cards is Wednesday June 30th. People are of course free to just show up if they want to check out the stamp auction!

Elements of Style...

Here is another card I made with the ever so beautiful stamp set Elements of Style (in the Summer Mini but it will also be carried in the new catalogue starting July 1st!) The label holder is from the silver hodgepodge kit and the designer paper is from the Pawsitively Prints (pictured in the Holiday Mini but listed in the Summer Mini)

Don't forget to respond to my New Catalogue Extravaganza e-mail if you got it. I am only marking people as confirmed if I get an e-mail from them saying they are coming. If you want to know more, or didn't get an e-mail send me one at s-pdavid@sympatico.ca.

My last order of the month will be going in on June 25th. This will be my last order out of this catalogue and your last chance to get any retiring stamp sets or retiring accessories.

The Clearance Section on my website has been updated and there are a lot of great deals. Just click HERE and click on Shop now to check them out. Items on my Online store are only available online and orders are shipped directly to you.

Think Happy Thoughts....

I love the set Think Happy Thoughts, mostly because I love the cute circles of words but I realized when it was retiring that I never use the cute flower image, except in the middle of the cute words. I though they would look cute on their own so I stamped them in Regal Rose on a Top Note die cut and drew the stems on with a Certainly Celery marker.

I glued the Top Note to Certainly Celery cardstock and carefully trimmed around it. The card is finished off with Certainly Celery Satin ribbon, Silver Glitter, Throughly Modern Designer Paper and a sentiment from Full of Life.

I will be placing an order this weekend so don't forget to look over the retiring lists and get those stamp sets that will be gone for good. Best sellers this month so far are: Bloomin Beautiful, Embrace Life, Spotlight on Christmas, Voila and Itty Bitty Backgrounds.

For All You Do....

For all you do is one of my favourite sets in the catalogue and I am very thankful that is sticking around another year.

On this card I thought I had better use up some of my rub-ons, which are retiring. On this card I used Dots and Designs rub ons on the fold of the card which looks super cool and were super easy to put on.

Congratulations to Helene and Christine who both won a Punched Posies stamp set (from my e-mail newsletter...if you're not on my e-mail list e-mail me at stephanie_adc@yahoo.ca to sign up)

Nursery Necessities

Here is a card I made with the soon to be retiring Nursery Necessities. I think it's been one of my favourite baby sets because of the assortment of images and words, making it extremely versatile no matter what kind of baby images you need. I made this card with Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Barely Banana.

My next order is going in next weekend. Don't forget to check the retiring lists I e-mailed out. June is your last chance to get some of your favourites before they are gone. You can also see the retiring lists on my Stampin Up Website and clicking on Promotions.

Last Chance Card Class....

To the left is one of the six designs we will be making at next Saturday's Last Chance Card Class. This one is using the beautiful and soon to be retiring stamp set Embrace Life as well as the soon to be retiring colour Ruby Red. There are still a few spaces available.

When: Saturday June 12th, 10a.m.

What: 12 cards (6 designs, 2 of each design)using retiring colours and retiring stamp set. It will be an all occasion card class.

Cost: $25

Mourning Bloomin Beautiful...

I just e-mailed out the retiring list but right now I am super sad because one of my favourite stamp sets in the catalogue is on Last Chance List. I blame Christine C. because I think she jinxed the stamp set by being the only person who put this stamp set on her Last Chance Contest List!

Congratulation to Christine C, who has won my Last Chance List contest (and killed one of my favourite stamp sets but whatever...LOL) She guessed 13 stamp set correct and wins the prize pack as well as first pick of my retiring colours budle packs. Congrats Christine!

I know the cards I am showing today are old ones that are on my blog somewhere but I though they were worth showing again. R.I.P Bloomin Beautiful....I will miss you!
