Taking a break ....

I'm taking a short break from blogging this next week.  We just found out my dear husband, Hal, has pneumonia.  It totally blind sided him ... didn't even have a sniffle before it hit.   We went to Urgent Care this am ... they gave him IVs (fluids, antibiotics).   Looks like we may have a few doctor visits this coming week plus he is supposed to NOT do anything but rest.   Fortunately he is a good patient.  It means extra work for me, but he is so worth it.

I will try to post, but will not promise.  He's my priority this coming week.

Reminders:
Summer Smooches Promotion Ends on Monday the 30th.
Occasions Mini Catalog ends on Monday the 30th.
Retirement lists have been posted.  - items are while supplies last.

Retired Accessories Now On-line

Update to this post (in red):

Two Incorrect Items on Retiring Accessories List

April 25, 2012

Two items that were included on the Retiring Accessories List are not actually retiring. We have updated the lists to remove these items.

208	108360	Craft Scissors
208	103579	Paper Snips

Because these items were included in error, the Paper Snips will not be offered at a discounted price. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.


Stampin' Up! just posted the full list of items that are retiring.

 Here's the LINK to the list Retired Accessories.

Here's the LINK to the list of Retired Decor Elements.

All retired items can be view with photos thru my Stampin' Up! Website. 
Click Here for the website
Then click on Shop Now
Click on Retiring Products
Click on the items you want to view

There are a number of items with discounted pricing too.  Also don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack while you are on my website.   Some really good deals.

Here's some additional information from Stampin' Up!:

Get them before they are gone! The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are now available and won't stay around for long--these items are only available while supplies last!

When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.

The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images. In addition, please note the following about the new catalog:

• Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)
• 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered
• 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections

Notes from Mary (me):

In the coming weeks I will have more information for you about the change to our Stampin' Pads and other products.   Today I just want to get the lists out to you so that you can order any product that you want/need.   Remember these are while supplies last and many will sell out right away.

Also please be sure to check names of ink if you are purchasing.  Classic ink is what I typically use in my cards you see on my blog.   Craft ink is thicker, takes longer to dry.  White craft ink works great on darker card stock.

If you have questions, please let me know.

Cards for Soldiers Overseas

 It's been a busy past few days for me.  I put my card making into high gear as we have a box of cards that is almost full.  These cards are blank inside and each have an envelope.  We have a US military unit that is currently deployed to Afghanistan that we ship to.  This way they will have cards to send to their friends and families. 

Not all products used this time are from Stampin' Up!.   The card bases, envelopes, stamp sets, and accent card stock are all Stampin' Up! products.  The stickers and die-cuts are from other sources. 

When we send a box of cards, it typically contains 300 cards for many different types of occasions and thinking of you or note cards.

Another thing we do is re-purpose cards ... taking off the card fronts of used cards in good condition, and then making them into new cards.   We have also been fortunate to receive a number of brand new cards with envelopes (like you would buy at the store) to include in our shipments.  There are four of us that get together almost every week.   My heartfelt thanks goes to Maureen, Diane, and Joan for all that they do. 


Well, it's going to be a busy day for me.  I have class prep work to do for Friday.   Hope you all have a great day. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow (the 25th - Wednesday) Stampin' Up! will announce all products that will be retired.   I will post the list as soon as I can.  Remember these products are while supplies last only.  When they are gone, no more will be re-ordered.    You can also view the retired list by going to my website, click on SHOP NOW, then click on Retiring Products.   Stamp sets that are retiring are already listed, but the other products will post on Wednesday.   If you wait too long, you may miss out.

Notebook Cover

Just had to share a new note cover I made that holds a pen.   It will be a class project next week along with the petite purse.  I will post a tutorial after my classes are complete.

Specialty Designer Series Paper - Mocha Morning Specialty, item #122366
   (2 ea of 2 single-sided designs with black flocking ... 4 sheets total AND
  4 sheets total of 2 sheets each of 4 double-sided designs .... 8 sheets total)

What is fun with these types of covers is that you can decorate them any way  you want and in any color.   They could easily be made for a male or a female by changing out the note pad and the card stock colors used.

These pads are 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" and were found in the dollar bin at the store.   I have seen them at numerous locations/different stores.

Whisper White Card Stock, item #100730 – 1 piece 5” x 6” and 1 piece 2” x 7”

Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, item #113439

BigZ Die – Two Tags, item #115954

Jewels – Pearls, item #119247

Early Espresso Classic Ink, item #119670

SNAIL Adhesive, item #104332

Multipurpose Liquid Glue, item #110755

Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Paper Punch, item #119275

5 Petal Flower Paper Punch, item #119880

Blossom Paper Punch, item #125063

Simply Scored Scoring Tool, item #122334

Diagonal Plate for Simply Scored Scoring Tool, item #125586

Bone Folder, item #102300

Directions:

1.      Using the Big Shot cut out the two tags in Whisper White.

2.       Stamp 3 flower images on the Wisteria Wonder Card Stock and punch them out using the Blossom Punch.

a.       Punch out 3 solid Wisteria Wonder Blossom flowers.

b.      Layer/off-set the flowers so that the stamped image is on top. (SNAIL or Multipurpose Glue)

c.       Attach a small pearl to the center of each.

d.      Attach 1 to the bookmark tag SNAIL or Multipurpose Glue)

e.      Set the other 2 flower aside for later.

3.       Using Wisteria Wonder, punch out two 5 Petal Flowers. 

a.       Layer/off-set the flowers using SNAIL or Mulitpurpose Glue.

b.      Attach a small pearl to the center.

c.       Attach to the larger tag using Multipurpose Glue – part of the flower will be higher than the tag, so put the glue on the tag NOT the flower itself.   I find that the slit in the tag is a good stopping spot for the glue.  Glue will be above the slit, not below

 

4.       Creating your card base:

a.       Using the 8 ½” x 11” piece of Designer Series Paper (Paper Stack) – Simply Scored Scoring Tool

                                                               i.      8 ½ “ side …. Score at 4 ¼”

                                                             ii.      11” side …. Score at 5 ½”

b.      Using the Diagonal Plate

                                                               i.      8 ½” side … Score at 4 ½”

                                                             ii.      Turn paper … 8 ½” side … score at 4 ½”

                                                            iii.      (no scoring on the 11” side on the diagonal plate)

c.       Crisply crease all your score lines on the card base.  Do the 4 ¼” and 5 ½” creases first and lay card stock flat.

                                                               i.      With corners placed inward (lower right corner and upper left), fold card up

                                                             ii.      Then fold left to right.

                                                            iii.      This creates your two pockets.

5.       Punch out the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border using the 2” x 7” piece of Whisper White.

a.       Place SNAIL on top of the front crease, then place ribbon on top.

b.      Trim to fit.

6.       Attach the small piece of DSP across the bottom of the front of the card.

7.       Attach the remaining two flowers to the front.

8.       Slide in bookmark in the front pocket.

9.       Slide in tag in the inside pocket.

Birthday Celebration

Last week I celebrated my 60th birthday!!!  Not sure how I got to be this old, because I certainly don't feel it.   We had a few friends over on Saturday night to help me celebrate.  We had such a good time.   The cake is from Saturday.   It was so delicious.  I love the rainbow on it.   I think we all need LOTS of rainbows in our lives.

I received many birthday cards too.   A few were handmade.

This photo is of the handmade ones I received.  If you look closely you will see quite a bit of Stampin' Up! products that were used.

Cake & ice cream over, time for a group photo.

My wonderful husband (Hal) and me.

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes via phone, e-mail and in person.  It was a great birthday, and I know it will be a great year too.

Petite Purse BigZ Die

I must admit when I first heard about this die, I had decided not to purchase it.   Then I saw more and more of these "cute" purses on other blogs and before I knew, I had to have the die too.   The purse is larger than I expected.  Measurements are:

4" high with handle
2" high without handle
1 1/4" deep
2 3/4" wide at the base

It's perfect for a little girl's birthday party, a bridal shower, or even a Miche Bag party.  I'm sure you can think of many more ideas.    The one above is made with Wisteria Wonder Card Stock.

Petite Purse BigZ Die, item #125606
Summer Smooches Fabric Designer Brads, item #125589

This die will definitely get a lot of use.  I am so glad I decided to purchase it.  This purse was filled with lifesavers and given to our neighbor's little girl.   She was thrilled with it.

Dotto Out of Stock -- Will NOT be Re-Ordered & Retirements

The following is from Stampin'  Up! regarding a product called Dotto that we have in our catalog:

"Due to a supplier backorder, we are out of stock of item 103305, Dotto, and this item will be turned off in the US and Canada. As Dotto was scheduled to be retired at the end of May, we will not be able to obtain a resupply on this item; thus, any customers with existing backorders on this product will be contacted by Demonstrator Support and offered either a refund or exchange. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

 Pear Pizzaz was used in the card base, ribbon, and classic ink.   All will retire at the end of May 2012.

Pleated ribbon will not be available after the end of April 2012.

Just a reminder that the lists of retirements/discontinued products will be posted:

15 April - list of stamps that are retiring as of the end of May 2012
25 April - list of product that are retiring or being discontinued as of the end of May 2012.
1 Jun - new catalog is active

If an item you want is on the retirement lists, I highly recommend that you place your order for it as soon as possible.   All items with the exception of stamp sets will be sold only while supplies last.   Many, many items will sell out within hours of the list going active.  I will post the information here as soon as I have it to post.   I don't want any of you missing out on items that you want or need.

We know for fact that any item that has the In-colors for 2010-2012 will be discontinued/retired.  That would be card-stock, designer series paper, brads, ribbons, markers, any embellishment, any card kit etc that contains the following colors:

Peach Parfait
Poppy Parade
Pear Pizzazz
Concord Crush
Blushing Bride

Double Pocket Cards With Bookmark - Any Occasion Card

This is a double pocket card (Thank You, Patty Bennett) for the idea.   The choice of card stock and Designer Series Papers along with the decorations were my own design.

I like the idea of cards that also have a gift purpose.   On the front pocket the center flower is actually a bookmark that the receiver of the card can use.   The inside tag is large enough for a note or stamped sentiment - the choice is yours.   

Directions for this style card will be posted next week.
