Baroque Motif - Farewell

Baroque Motif, my most favourite of all.
I have already found another stamp set in the new catalogue
that will replace this one.
Also the farewell to the crimper, a great tool that can give that little 
bit of extra texture when needed.
If you'd like to order anything before 31 August, make sure
you email me to get your order in.

Crazy for Cupcakes - Farewell

Farewell to Crazy for Cupcakes, another favourite.

Upsy Daisy - Farewell

It will be sad to say farewell to Upsy Daisy stamp set.
One of my favourites.
This one I embossed a piece of vellum with the square lattice EF.
I stamped the flowers in versamark and white embossed them.
Then ran the brayer over the image.
This is called embossed resist

Apothecary Art

I always seem to have a lot of half made cards
leftover after my classes.
Sometimes they sit in a box for ages 
before I get round to finishing them off.
These cards I finished off on Saturday after an "Edgelit" class.
I'd already packed away my bigshot and edgelits so I got
out my scallop lace border punch.
The DSP is "Twitterpated" which has been carried over
to the new 2012 catalogue.

Perpetual Birthday Book

I was asked to make a "Birthday Book" by a work colleague,
one that she could write all her birthdays in.
So after much searching on the web I came across
this "Perpetual Birthday Book".
I've used retired DSP - Elegant Soiree from 2010 (just loved this DSP).
The 12x12 DSP pages are scored at 4" and folded up, 
then scored or folded in half. 
This makes a pocket for each month to pop some cards in 
for the upcoming birthdays.
I've then separated each DSP page with a piece of cardstock
and attached a monthly calendar.
I've decorated the pages with the sizzlit Butterflys.
The front and back covers are chipboard which I've covered with DSP.
I've sponged the edges and cut out the letters for the name on the book.
I have a little binding machine so I've spiral bound the book to finish it off.
If you don't have a binding machine you could always take your Birthday book
to Officeworks to have it bound for a small fee.
This "Perpetual Birthday Book is going to be my September Project Class.

Pocket Silhouettes

Pocket Silhouettes is another stamp set that will be 
retiring on 31st August.
It has been such a great little set and very versatile.
I'm always sad :( when I loose a set I love.
On the upside though, there will be lots of new
lovely stamp sets in the new catalogue
which is something to look forward to.
If you'd like to order Pocket Silhouettes before
it retires, email me and I can place an order for you.

Medallion

The Medallion is one of the stamps 
that will be retiring on 31st August.
It is a beautiful stamp that you can use with all different techniques.
Above "Poppin Pastels" technique, stamp with versamark
the dauber pastels (also retiring) over the versamark image.

 Emboss resist technique used above.
 

Here the Medallion has just been stamped.
All 3 cards are so different but all lovely 
using a lovely stamp.
If you'd like to order the Medallion before it retires, please 
send me an email and I can order it for you.

Embossing Folders

 



I've cased this idea from Melissa Davies (link to her blog on my sidebar).
Thanks for Sharing such a fantastic idea. 
It is a great way of displaying the SU embossing folders.

I used the smaller of the tags from SU's two tags die
and then ran them through the big shot machine, 
 I then put a hole in the top with the cropadile and put a ring through them.
It's a great way to display all the embossing folders,
it's also very handy to have on your craft desk for easy access.
Its also a fantastic tool to take to workshops
 to show your customers what each embossing folder looks like in real life.

2012 Retirement List

The 2012 Retirement List is here.

To view the retired Stamp Sets Click HERE 
To view the retired Accessories List Click HERE 

You might like to print them out and then highlight the retiring items in your catalogue.

Some of my old favourites are going....in particular 
I'll be very sad to say goodbye to Loads of Love, Fifth Avenue Floral, 
Pocket Silhouettes, Fox and Friends and Medallion :(
We are also losing a set of 5 In Colors -
Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, 
Concord Crush and Blushing Bride are all retiring. 
You'll notice lots of inkpads on the list too - 
that's because Stampin' Up! is introducing a new firm foam inkpad. 
The colours will remain the same, it is just the surface of the inkpad that is changing.

The fantastic news is that some items are discounted by 40%!!

So, check the list to see if anything you love is disappearing forever -
 but order it fast, because these items are only available while stocks last!

If there is anything you'd like to order from the Retirement Lists please email me denisemaccabe@gmail.com
