I thought that yesterday was going to be an eternity to wait for the retiring list to come out…it is here…so now you need to see what you can’t live without! I wanted to share with you this card and after all of retired lists, I will share with you some thoughts and comments about this fun card!
In the below images, you can click on the specific links, I find this PDF a huge help as you can easily print it off! Yesterday afternoon was SUPER busy with orders and if you experienced frustration….I’m sorry ~ please go back in and try again as things are running smoothly (fingers crossed).
Just saying…the things that fly out the door are the Everything Else and naturally the Clearance Rack.
Click here for the List
Click here for the list
Click here for the offerings
There are (2) stamp sets that make this card….one is staying (Flower Shop), the other (Bravo) is going bye-bye. (I adore this stamp set so therefore, I am sad) 😥
The DSP is just a strip that is just 1″ wide and then did you notice…I score on either side of the DSP ~ a fun and fast touch!
You have seen this layout before…it is just wonderful that making simple changes makes a difference!
A complete…FUN card! I used the Whisper White Notecard and Envelops and whipped out 40 of these. When something works…I say ROLL WITH IT! Clean, crisp, classic!
I am still trying to digest and take it all in but I must admit – the 2 below items were the 2 shockers in my eyes! I still need to digest the stamps and on another post we’ll chat about that!
My 2 biggest surprises of the retired list….2 of my very, very best friends….they will never leave Randall Lane and yep, I will purchase some extra Craft Scissors as they are a PERFECT gift for anyone that craft….I stick by it…they are the BEST!
- Envelope Liner Framelits~ #132172
- Craft Scissors~ #108360
Enjoy the day….continue to see the list and when I get more scoop….I’ll be sure to pass it onto you!
Please remember to use the Hostess Code (in the upper right corner) so I can send you goodies…..also, please remember ~ if you happen to hit the no contact button….there is no way that I can say thanks….no way for me to send you a goodie……no way for me to send you a catalog…and that would make me sad! 😥

***** SORRY FOR THE TEASER….I wasn’t the best in figuring out Military time!!!!***** 🙂
I know that this is a post that you have been waiting for….the retired list. Well here you go…grab that cup of coffee and pull out the catalog and go to town! Remember, these products are while supplies last so if you have been on the fence…HOP ON OVER! 🙂
Tomorrow I will share with you my – YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE…..(if they are still there)!!!! 🙂 I am on overload….this is so fun!!!!
p.s. – you can go into the online store and also see it there where the weekly deals and shopping are….!!!
Stampin’ Ups! Retired List
STAMPS
EVERYTHING ELSE
Also, today is the LAST day to take advantage of the weekly deals…remember, these deals will be going away in the weekly format that we have been used to. There are some real keepers. Remember that post I did with the Rose Garden Thinlits Die….to die for!!!! This would be a die that you would not necessarily need the stamp set as you can easily use sentiments that you have!
I will be doing the exact same thing as you will be doing….I will be gasping…and then I will be saying, ok – I get that….it is just a fun time of the year with Stampin’ Up!
Remember, when you place an order with me that is $35.00+ I will send you this card….(click here) and then with orders of $75.00+ you will get a double whammy….the cute card and an aqua painter from me!
Have fun with the list!

A SUPER CUTE CARD WITH MY DEAR, “MR. FROG”
WOOT-WOOT…..it is Monday…it is a new week…it is a day that I have (2) posts for you!
I am soooooo darn happy that it is April 18th – 1st….my dear and wonderful hubbie will be able to end the Tax Season and be able to take a deep breathe and enjoy life….and 2nd – I am happy is that that later today I can share with you the list of products that are going “bye-bye” and that I will be able to see the new catalog online!
This stamp set, You’re Sublime is staying put…….just like it should = I ADORE him (and the other images)! This is such a fun set and I must say, I have never used the sentiment that goes with him…I just mask it off and use another goodie!
This card is on its way to our “yours truly” Chris R from Iowa and we all need to leave her some love and comments as she ALWAYS brings a smile to us! She had a surgery and I thought that this card and our fun comments would bring a smile to her face!
I just couldn’t resist using these eyes….they are oldies but goodies from Stampin’ Up! and I knew that she would love them. This card is ridiculously simple but ridiculously fun!
In keeping with my determination to get you to use your DSP as we all know that new KEEPERS will be with us super soon and YES, I will be doing a product share…..so here you go….USE UP YOUR PAPER….make your work space happy and clean it out!
I took this classic paper and used the aqua painter and filled in random hearts with Melon Mambo….so simple and so fun! One thing that I hope that “Mr. Frog” has taught you….you can use so many different sentiments to create a fun card.!
This sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts (and I do not know it is is going to be carried over but we WILL know later today) Use your stamps wisely….you can make soooooo may cards from great stamp sets!
Here is the “low down” on our little sweet frog. Are you smiling? I am.
Sometimes I must admit, I need to pinch myself with how fun this is that I do.Stampin’ Up! is great. Stampin’ Up! is fun.
I have never met Chris but I feel blessed to have her as a cyber friend and a friend to many of you as she DOES make us laugh and smile!
I’ll be back later today 3 p.m. Eastern time…..to share with you the retiring list. I honestly do not know what is on it but one thing that I do know is….there is not a darn thing we can do about it…I encourage you to think of it as….WOW – there must be some great things in the horizon!
The items will be, WHILE SUPPLIES LAST….so do not wait….ESPECIALLY the IN COLOR PAPER and INKS etc….(I think that there are still people mourning over Strawberry Slush last year) so don’t let this happen to you…..
Chris R. from Iowa…please feel better each and everyday…..we need and look forward to your wit and humor. Take it easy…let “Mr. Frog” be your mascot. HUGS my friend! 🙂
Until later today….take a break from work…..
p.s. – I loved that Tricia, Ellen and Nancy picked “Mr. Frog” – he will be hopping his way into your mailbox with a super cute card! 🙂 xoxoxo

Happy Sunday….here you go – the stepped up version of yesterday’s card. Later on I will share with you some confessions in making this card because I like to be totally honest with you in the ups and downs that I too go through when I make a card. The moral of the story is….there are times that you just have to roll with it and say….
It is handmade, not hallmark…it was made from your hands, not a machine!
Well…let’s get going…as in our Sunday tradition…here you go side by side….so you decide!
I am keeping in our theme of USING UP OUR PAPER and today’s biggest difference is that I used the DSP as the card front focal part. This sweet print (From the It’s My Party DSP Stack) is a super sweet print in Mint Macaron. Little prints like this are fantastic…I love small prints because you can pull off using them like this card or you can also use them for paper piecing and also for cutting thin strips and making a fun background.
I stayed with the basic gray to mat the sentiment, I thought that black would have been too stark but I also could have easily just used Mint Macaron and rolled with a monochromatic look (I would try this…I think it would be stunning)
Now to my confession. I am one that does not like to start over (unless I make a total no-brainer mess…..like a huge blob of ink). When I was making this card today, I used the gray pen to do my stitchin’…(Yesterday I used the Mint Macaron) I did not like the look of the gray – it was simply too dark 🙁
When things like this happen there is always a PLAN B!!! I knew that I was not going to start over as I had already cleaned and put away my stamp so I took a piece of solid paper, cut a thin piece of paper and covered up the part that I did not like! (If you look in the above picture you can see where I placed the strips)
Everything else was basically the same…super sweet, super straight forward, super easy! You can see that making this card….(either versions) is a quick one and I am thrilled that the Flower Shop Stamp is being carried over. (My fingers are crossed that the Watercolor Words are as well….I guess we will have to wait and see tomorrow)
This weekend post I admit, there was not a dramatic difference…the difference is that I just used more DSP. Please do not be afraid to use your paper in this fashion. Our papers are beautiful and we need to let them “strut their stuff”
From the angle of the above picture you can really see the pieces that I cut to cover up my boo-boo. Now technically, I could have taken the time to make exact cuts so you would not see any overlapping…but again, it is handmade and I like the look and feel of handmade!
I have another confession…I am GREEN WITH STAMPIN’ ENVY that I was not in Salt Lake City over the past several days for the unveiling of the new catalog. Mum is still the word but I get to peek at it online tomorrow…..(a great perk for being a SUD). I hear that it is fantastic and the I will love it…..darn, I tried and tried to get one of my friends to “spill the beans” but no luck!
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow…I know you will smile…it is one of my all time favorites that I know is being carried over…he holds a very special place in my heart (can you guess what stamp it is???)
Enjoy the day and go make someone smile! 🙂
