Retiring Products Class – card 3

Hello!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day :o)

This is the third card from class last weekend and it showcases the oh so cute, Fox and Friends stamp set…….  I’m so sad this one is retiring as my partners surname is Fox and our first baby is due in December so I was planning on using this for some scrapbooking!  I shall be holding onto this one I think!!!

This card is a base of Baja Breeze, layered with a piece of Just Add Cake DSP.  This is a lovely, colourful pack of papers which are brilliant for kids cards.  I used the Extra Large Tag Punch (not retiring) and also the Large Tag Punch, which is retiring, to punch out some additional layers of DSP and also the stamped animals, which were layered onto a piece of Poppy Parade card.  I think this was my favourite 10/11 In Colour.  So sad to see it go :o(

The sentiment is from Oval All, another retiring stamp set.  Thankfully the ever so useful Oval Punch and Scallop Oval Punch aren’t on the retirement list :o)  I really couldn’t live without that pairing!

I added some silver brads to the sentiment before popping it onto the card with Dimensionals.  The brads are also saying goodbye this month.

If you haven’t already checked out the retiring stamps list and retiring accessories list, then do so quickly!  There are links on the right of my blog to each list.

Items are selling out at a rate of knots, so contact me to place your order so you don’t miss out

With so much retiring from the catalogue I bet you can’t wait to see what’s going to be in the new catalogue to fill in all of the gaps, and to fill all those extra pages!!!  Not long to go now…….

I’ll be back soon with the final two cards

New Product Card Class - Pennant Parade Christmas

Hello everyone,

This is the final card from the card class I ran in October.

It uses the ever so fabulous Pennant Parade stamp set and co-ordinating Pennant Builder Punch!

This layout is based on a card I saw at a recent training session on an Inspiration Station by Hayley Gillie.  

I have used the Just Add Cake DSP as the backing layer on this card, and from that I got the colour combination of Wild Wasabi and Poppy Parade.

The card base is Wild Wasabi and I have also used this for the tree.  I stamped the Christmas Tree Pennant image in Wild Wasabi onto Wild Wasabi card and then punched them out with the Pennant Builder Punch.  I did three and then folded them all in half and glued then to one another to make a 3D tree.  This add something extra to the card but is still practical as it folds flat to put in the envelope to post.

The pot the tree sits in and the star on top, plus the Merry sentiment and sun burst stamped image all come from the same stamp set.  It has so many bit to it for so many different occasions.

The left side of the card is edged with Poppy Parade card punched with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  I'm loving this punch so much...........

Here's a side view so you can see the dimension of the card.

I set to work a few weeks ago making a whole host of paper crafting items to showcase everything you can do with the wonderful Stampin' Up1 products.

These butterfly pegs were based on a swap I received at Regional Training in September.  I modified them slightly by getting smaller pegs as I thought they would make great memo board clips.  You can't see, but I also added a small round magnet on the back to they will stick to a fridge.

I stamped the Parlour Prints background stamp onto Whisper White in Island Indigo, Perfect Plum and Old Olive, then cut to the size of the peg so I could cover the front and back.

I then stamped the circular image from the new stamp set called Delicate Doilies in each colour and punched out the centre section with a 1 3/8" Circle Punch.  This was mounted onto the peg and topped with a butterfly created using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and Big Shot.

I used a 2-Way Glue Pen to add some Dazzling Diamonds to the embossed area.  I love a touch of sparkle!

These will now be adorning my notice board to keep all of my letter and reminders in place :o)

I decided I also wanted to show off the lovely new Designer Series Papers, so I covered some notebooks.

The bottom notebook is covered with one of the patterns from the Timeless Portrait pack.  This is the gorgeous new In Colour - Island Indigo and Very Vanilla.  There are 11 other patterns in this set and all of them have a vintage feel.  The other colours used in the pack are River Rock, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler.  It is part of the Timeless Portrait Suite that includes a stamp set and fabric!

The middle notebook is covered with one of the pattern papers from Just Add Cake.  It such a versatile DSP pack which uses eight different Stampin' Up! colours.

The top notebook is covered in DSP from a pack called Cheerful Treat.  This is a pack you can only get as a hostess.  The new Hostess Pounds really allow you to get much more of what you want for FREE.  The hostess pounds come into effect with a workshop total, or individual order, of £150.  You get £25 hostess pounds for this size workshop or order, and this pack of DSP is only £8 hostess pounds, so you would still have £17 to spend on other goodies!  How great is that?

I did line the inside of the cover with a co-ordinating piece of card to cover the folds and stuck down edges, but forgot to take a photo of that.

These are really quick to make and would be brilliant in different sizes to add in as stocking gifts this Christmas.
