Can you believe it? Lovely as a Tree is retiring!! Oh My Gosh! This stamp set has been around longer than I have! I guess there had to be a time where we said goodbye to it.
Here’s a few cards from the past 13 years:
Always a great masculine set this one, and timeless. Teams up great with our Hardwood and Crackle background stamps.
Like most of the retiring items, Lovely as a Tree is low in stock.
As promised, I’ll be sharing a few project samples of the upcoming Everything is Rosy Medley.
Firstly, here’s what’s in the Medley, there’s a STACK of products. ALL of them are exclusive and will not be featured anywhere else. They’re also Limited Edition. Only available from the 1st May to 31st May.
Here are a few card samples created by the Stampin’ Up! team.
Are they not the pretties cards you’ve seen? I’m inlove!!
I’ll be back later with some more samples for you.
Remember my Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card I made the other day? It was a little gift card size. Today I’m sharing with you a full size card.
For this card, I cut the printed card down, and layered it on Calypso Coral and Lovely Lipstick. But before I adhered it all together, I cut the sentiment panel out of the card. I then stuck all my layers together, tied some ribbon around them THEN adhered the sentiment back down with dimensionals. Finished the card off by adhering to the matching card base, and added some Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots. Oh, and painted Wink of Stella on all the flowers.
148531 – $17.50148806 – $14.75148805 – $12.25
Both the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack and Card Base and Envelopes are Low in Stock and will sell out soon.
Grab them now with the DSP if you’d like to continue to match them up with the Bloom by Bloom Stamp Set.
Welcome to another Design it with Designer Series Paper Blog Hop. We are an international design team of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who have come together to share projects focusing on the beautiful Designer Series Paper in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. Each month we are featuring a different paper. This month it is Classic Garage from the Occasions Catalogue. Make sure to check out all the blogs in the hop for a different idea using this month featured DSP!
My card is a little different this month. I do have the Classic Garage DSP, BUT I don’t have the matching suite items. No manly stamp set, die or embellishments. So I decided to use the ‘B’ side of the Paper and create a card with a flower on it.
The colours of the paper are Real Red, Crushed Curry and Tranquil Tide, perfect for my hibiscus flower from the Humming Along stamp set.
To lift the card and make it a little more ‘girly’ I painted the flower with Wink of Stella. The rhinestones were coloured with Real Red Stampin’ Blends to tie in with the colour combo.
Both Humming Along stamp set & die, AND the Classic Garage Suite are retiring at the end of May. Humming Along is in Low Inventory, but you can pick up the DSP no worries. You’ll want to make sure you do, as the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set is carrying over.
It’s time to see what the rest of the Design Team has made using the Classic Garage DSP. Make sure to visit everyone to see all the fun things you can do with this paper.
Sigh, Farewell Fabulous Flamingo. How I love you! I even used this set yesterday to make some mass produced cards. TIP: The Stamparatus makes multiples super quick!
Here’s a look back at some of the cards I made. Seems I have a ‘thing’ for Pink, Green and Blue!
And here’s a sample from the Stampin’ Up! Website
If you love this set, it’s only $37 and is low in inventory. Don’t miss out on it!
Please note that some of the stamps on the list are actually carrying over, but they will be reconfigured to Cling Mount. The ones on the list are either Wood or Clear Mount. I do believe that the list will be updated to show a * next to these stamps soon. You should be able to download the list again at a later time (hopefully today) to see the new lists.
Okay, coming back to edit – here’s the list of stamps that are carrying over in Cling Format
Oh my lordy!! You read that right! A One Off Paper Pumpkin coming 15th May!
I know many of you have heard about Paper Pumpkin before (you keep asking if we’re going to get it) so you know a little about it.
For those who don’t know about it, it’s a subscription based kit that comes in the mail once a month. Much like the beauty boxes you can subscribe to. Each kit contains a Stamp Set, an Ink Spot, and all the consumables you need to create a variety of cards or 3D projects.
However, the Paper Pumpkin Kit we’ll be getting is a once off kit that you can purchase. And believe me, this will sell out extremely quickly. You’ll want to set your alarms for this one.
Here’s a little info about this particular Paper Pumpkin Kit:
Here’s some product details from the SU website:
The Shelli kit from Paper Pumpkin includes the following:
An exclusive stamp set not available anywhere else
One Classic Stampin’ Spot® from our Classic ink collection

Adhesives and embellishments for all 12 cards
Coordinating
Stampin’ Up! colours: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal

If you have any questions please let me know. I’ll be sending out reminders before the 15th May so you can be ready 🙂
Back when the Occasions Catalogue was going live, a friend sent me a little sampler of the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack, and the matching Cards & Envelopes.
Can you believe I’m only just creating with them, and that they only took minutes to create.
The first is a little Gift Card sized card.
Super simple to make. Just grab the card you want, tie some Bakers Twine around it tie in a bow. Adhere to the matching Card Base, adhere a few Rhinestones and you’re done. The printed cards tend to seem a little flat to me, and the colour combo isn’t really my style… but I painted Wink of Stella all over those flowers and I love how the card turned out.
Here’s a look at the card pack and the cards and envelopes:
You can bet your bottom dollar that these will be in the retiring list on Tuesday!
I’ll be back with the second card I made, stay tuned.
The new Annual Catalogue is due out in a June, the retiring list comes out in April. We know that the InColors retire, I’ve sent my reminder about them, but there are a few other items that we’ve just found out about.
The first is the Trimmer and its accessories. There have been challenges with the supplier. There is a new trimmer in the works, but it’s not ready just yet. They have ordered enough blades to last 6 months, but there may be times where they are unorderable. From the 16th (when the retiring list comes out) the blades will be limited to a purchase of 6 only.
The second is the Big Shot. SU have parted with Sizzix, and will begin to have their own manufacturer. We will have a new style of dies and folders in the new Catalogue which will work in all machines, but their own machine isn’t quite ready yet. So going forward, new products will be their own dies, but existing dies will be sizzix until stock depletes and then they’ll be SU dies.
So just a heads up if you need blades or plates for your Big Shot 🙂
