This a bittersweet day each year for those of us who love Stampin' Up! The annual ritual of saying goodbye to beloved products is a difficult one...like losing dear friends...but at the same time it is exciting as we anticipate all of the fabulous new products that will replace them when the new Annual Catalogue goes live in June. This year is no different. Some of my go-to favourite products will be going away soon, which makes me very sad. The good news is that, while supplies last, many of these products are being offered at a discount! Be sure to click the image below to view the complete list of retiring products and then place your order as soon as possible, so as not to miss out on the items you want.
Now for a new project! This is one of the make-n-takes we did at my monthly team meeting last week. It uses the
Guy Greetings and
Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets:
I began by stamping a
Smoky Slate card base with the splatter images from the
Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I used
Basic Gray ink for the larger splatters and
Metallic Silver for the smaller ones. The centre strip is
Basic Black card stock that I embossed using the
Zig Zag TIEF. The DSP panel is from the
Stacked with Love pack and is sponged using
Bermuda Bay and
Smoky Slate ink. I added three little
silver mini brads. The focal image, from the
Guys Greetings stamp set, is stamped in
Basic Black ink, punched with the
1-3/4" circle punch and matted on a
2" circle in
silver foil.
The sentiment, which is also from the
Guy Greeting set, is stamped in
Basic Black ink on a 1/2" strip of
Whisper White card stock. I used the
Banner punch to create the pennant end and then wrapped the other end in some
Basic Black Baker's Twine.
On the inside I stamped the wrenches again, this time using
Smoky Slate ink. The sentiments are stamped in
Basic Black. I added one more
Bermuda Bay splatter, stamping off once before stamping on my panel.
Now, as if the retirement list wasn't enough excitement, here is a new round of Weekly Deals for you! Sale prices are good until Monday at midnight.
