Final week for retiring products!

We're now in to the final week for retiring products in our 2017-2018 annual catalogue and also our 2018 spring / summer catalogue before our fabulous new 2018-2019 annual catalogue launches on Friday!

Not all products are carrying over into the new catalogue, so if you have any favourites, then now's the time to stock up before they're gone!

All retiring products are on a 'while stocks last' basis, so check HERE which of your favourites is still available.

Remember, too, that Fast Fuse has been discontinued and although the refills have now completely sold out, there are still some stocks of the full item available HERE. But remember it's only while stocks last and they're selling fast - pardon the pun!

A round-up of this week's makes

I've been so busy planning and creating this week, I'm only just getting round to posting them all here!

It's been a week of boxes and cards, planning customer thank you gifts and challenges for myself and my team.

Here are a few of the things I've created (minus the customer thank you gift until they've been received by those who shopped with me in May - that will feature later!) .......

Simple Sundays is BACK! ........ #1 Monochrome cards

After a bit of an absence, Simple Sundays is back!

Every Sunday I'll be featuring a simple project which you can make in no time at all.
This will ether be a card or a 3-D project which you can make quickly or which only uses minimal tools or will only feature one or two colours and so on.
The aim is to show a pretty project which you can make in only 15 minutes or less or to show that you don't need a whole host of tools, papers and inks to be able to create something amazing.

Today's project is actually two cards!
I first challenged myself to make a monochrome card using black and white and in the process, I found another card formulating in my head too.

I dug out my previously-unused 'Petal Passion' Memories & More card pack which I've had for months and not done anything with. It was perfect for the idea I had!
I'm so sad not to have used this pack before, because it sadly retires on the 31st May.

The first card is only black & white and I think it's very striking; and the second card pulls out the Powder Pink colour on some of the cards in the kit.
Thankfully Powder Pink is one of our 2017-2019 in-colours, so will be around for another 12 months.

Each card took less than 10 minutes to make and I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

Only cutting, scoring and sticking was required. That's it!

For each card, I cut Basic Black cardstock to 11.5" x 4" and scored at 5-3/4" making a tent-fold base measuring 5-3/4" x 4"

I then cut a Whisper White / Powder Pink mat measuring 5-1/2" x 3-3/4"

I then added a further Basic Black mat measuring 5-1/4" x 3-1/2"

Then to finish off, I cut down two of the larger cards in the Memories & More card pack (Petal Passion) to 5" x 3-1/4"

On the monochrome card, I raised the top card on dimensionals; on the pink card I stuck the top card straight down. I think I prefer some dimension, so would go with the dimensionals - but it's personal taste as to which you prefer.

I hope you like these and look forward to sharing more projects with you!

Recent makes featuring retiring favourites

Hi there!

I thought I'd pop in today and share some of my recent makes using some of my (sadly) retiring favourites.

Tea / coffee pouches, table favours for those at our table at On-Stage in April (they held mini Ritter Sport chocolates) and some 3x3 notecards we made at our last Corrie Papercrafts workshop.

I'm in love with the mini 3x3 notecards and this is one of my favourite suites - Tutti Frutti from the 2018 Spring / Summer catalogue
The tea / coffee pouches feature the Coffee Break DSP
The 'Just for you' treat pouches feature the beautiful Painted with Love specialty DSP

The sentiments on the pouches are from the A Good Day stamp set (clear mount), which I'm delighted is carrying over into the new annual catalogue

And I absolutely MUST tell you that the mini punch set (set of four) with the Tutti Frutti suite is currently HALF PRICE! Click here to find it while stocks last!

Retiring Stampin' Up! products are still available while stocks last until 31st May, when the current annual catalogue retires.
Click here to go straight to the Last Chance Products page of my shop to see what's still available in the retiring products - some are also discounted, so grab a bargain while you can!
