Last few hours to say farewell ...before the launch of the new Stampin' Up! Catalog

As we're all busy preparing for the long 4th of July week end coming up, I wanted to take a minute to remind you that we're down to the final few hours to place an order for stamping and scrapbooking products you won't find in the new Stampin' Up! catalog, which debuts tomorrow, July 1 at noon.

Here are a couple more items I'm going to miss:

I love this versatile, Decorative Strip Die called, Join in The Cheer, (113452) Price:  $21.95  Sale Price:  $13.17.  But tonight is the Last Chance to purchase.

The long strip is perfectly suited for 12 X 12 scrapbook pages.  Or, cut the words apart, as I did to decorate the gift bag above.  This worked for so many occasions -- most of all Christmas and Valentine's Day.  I'm really going to miss this Die.

Tart & Tangy,  (111514) another of my favoite stamp sets is also retiring tonight.  Tart & Tangy workshops were some of my most popular.  Here are a few samples from those classes.

Don't miss this Last Chance to order this set, ribbons, and dies for your stamp collection before they disappear this evening..

Free New Catalog ... and Say goodbye to Simply Sent Sweet Hello card kit

One of my favorite items from the current Stampin' Up! catalog is the "almost finished" cards and envelopes that go together in minutes, ready for those last-minute requests from DH or (gasp) myself just before we step out the door.  Stampin' Up!  calls them Simply Sent Kits.  The Sweet Hello cards are printed, embossed and include embellishments and envelopes.  Add a sentiment suitable for your occasion and you've made a personal card in minutes when you're pressed for time. 

While the kit includes printed, embossed cards and pink adhesive-backed ribbon flowers with pearl centers, I added more embellishments using the butterflies from Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and used a sentiment stamp from the Pretty Postage stamp set to finish my card. 

This is also a great kit if you are a new stamper wanting to try stamping for the first time.  You can select this kit and its matching sentiment stamp, Hello, You, 117118 - $9.95 that includes a "Hello, you" sentiment and "sweet friend" sentiment. and order a Baja Breeze stamp pad (111833 - $5.95) and begin stamping handmade cards for a total investment of under $30.00.

Card details:
Stamps:  Pretty Postage (Summer Mini)
Ink:  Baja Breeze
Paper:  Sweet Hello Simply Sent Kit (118710 - Last Chance list)
Accessories - Pink adhesive-backed ribbon flowers with pearl centers (part of the 1187110 Sweet Hello Simply Sent Kit),

Saying Goodbye...to more Stampin' Up! Last Chance products

For today's card, I stamped the flower images three times and hand cut the layers and added dimensionals between each layer.  This is where you need a good pair of scissors.  I use the Stampin' Up! Paper Snips whenever I'm cutting intricate paper images.  This card uses the Fabulous Florets stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog, and one of the sentiments from the Fabulous Phrases stamp set. 

This card shows one of my favorite styles.  Simple layers.  It goes together quickly, yet it is a card you can be proud to give a family member or a professional acquaintance.  I'm including it in the Signature Style Pals Paper Arts Challenge PPA97 weekly contest.

Here is a closer look at the flower layers.  I added a layer of Dimensionals between each of the three layers.

Here's what I used.

Stamps:  Fabulous Florets (Summer Mini), Fabulous Phrases
Paper:  Whisper White
Ink:  Black Staz-on
Accessories:  Large Oval punch, Oval punch, Mat pack, paper-piercing tool, dimensionals, Paper Snips

One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! products are the variety of punches offered.  I'm a fan of layers.  I love to layer sentiments and images.  Stampin' Up! makes it easy because of the many different size punches that layer together.  However, to make room for "new", sometimes you need to push out the old.

One punch on the Last Chance list retiring at the end of June, is the 1-3/8 X 5/8" Oval Punch -- the smallest of the Oval Punches.  I've used it for the sentiment on this card.  However, supplies are already depleted for this accessory on the Last Chance list. The good news is that  a new, more elongated oval punch was introduced in last year's Stampin' Up Idea book and catalog and is available for purchase now. 
Here's where you can see the new small oval punch; available now.



120908 - 3/4 X 15/16 in Oval Punch - US $10.95
