Annual Catalog & Occasions Retiring Lists

Well, the time has come once again.....the time to say good-bye to old favorites. Normally I would be sad, but having just gotten back from OnStage with the new annual catalog in my hands, I'm ready for the new things heading our way!

I must say though, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that, after all these years, Lovely As A Tree is finally going to that great retirement home in the sky. It's been around since before I became a demonstrator!

Anyway, the links to the lists are below. Please note that these are ALL "while supplies last", even the retiring stamp sets, and many things will sell out quickly.

Stampin' Up! said effective immediately, stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalog that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalog will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until June 4, 2019 (whichever comes first). If the inventory is depleted, you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. This means that you may end up purchasing select cling stamp sets (in carryover artwork) before they can be ordered from the catalog! All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only (with the exception of background stamps in North America) beginning June 4, 2019.

Before you panic if you see your favorite stamp set is on the retiring list, scroll to the bottom of this post for a list of stamps that will be in the new cling mount style (per the paragraph above).

The Stamp Review Crew - Beauty Abounds

https://stampreviewcrew.blogspot.com/2019/04/ba.html

Welcome to the third Monday of the month and another Stamp Review Crew blog hop! The "Crew" is made up of a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who pick a stamp set or bundle to highlight on the first and third Mondays of each month, with a bonus hop if there is a fifth Monday. Today we are featuring the Beauty Abounds cling stamp set, and the coordinating Butterfly Beauty dies. I just got home from OnStage in Charlotte, NC where we got a copy of the new catalog. I'm so happy to see it is carrying over to the annual catalog.... the dies will be a slightly different style, but they will cut the same beautiful butterflies!

You may have just landed here from Stesha's blog, Stampin' Hoot. Weren't her projects gorgeous?! If you started here, just follow the links at the bottom to hop forward to the next or back to the previous stop.

Just when I think I've seen everything, and know the catalog backward and forward, along comes something I hadn't noticed.....the Memories & More cards and envelopes. How did I not see this before??? I love the larger cards & envelops, because sometimes I just don't feel like making an A2 size card. These are 4-1/4" x 6-1/4", an extra 3/4" in length; long enough to tuck money in a birthday card without having to fold it.

I wanted to try some simple stamping on this first card, and I almost made it. Simple stamping is just cardstock, stamps, and ink - no die cut, embossing, or embellishments. I nailed it until I added the sequins, LOL. It was so easy to add a little color to the image with the bokeh stamps. And I hadn't really noticed the spatter stamp until today, so I stamp it along the bottom.

For the next card, I went all out with embossing (both heat and dry), and embellishments! After stamping the spatters randomly with VersaMark, I heat embossed in gold. The Blackberry Bliss die cut butterflies were trimmed down to fit the landscape-oriented card base, and then dry embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.

I colored some rhinestones with a Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends marker for a little bling on the butterfly's wing.

I hope you'll take a look at those bigger card bases and envelopes on page 194 of the annual catalog! That's it for me today. I'm off to spend some quality time with the new catalog!!! Up next is Lauren at Crafty Little Peach.

You're Inspiring

Since I had the Gingham Gala DSP sitting out from yesterday's Stamp Review Crew projects, I thought I'd make another card to post while I'm having a blast at OnStage in Charlotte. This is just a quick post, because right now I should be packing, haha.

I don't know why the pics look so faded. If you've seen the Daffodil Delight DSP, you know it's much more vibrant in real life. The panels are 2" x 4" mounted on 2-1/8" x 4-1/8" Grapefruit Grove mats.

Now, we don't have Grapefruit Grove Stampin' Blends, but the Light Calypso Coral is a perfect match!

Okay, I REALLY have to go now! I'll have so much to share when I get back Sunday!!!
