A Craft Room Play Day with some of my Favorite Retired Products

            

  • Playing with Retired Products from the World of Good Suite
  • Last Chance Sale ending 30 June 2021
  • Get ready for the 15% off Select Designer Series Paper Sale - 1 July 2021
With Demonstrators being able to begin preordering from the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog beginning July 1 (a perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator), I'm rearranging my existing stamps and dies to make room for the exciting new products coming in the new catalogs.  I always keep a number of my favorite retired stamps and dies, and when I ran across the World Map Dies and the Celebrate You Dies--both retired--I decided to make this a "play with your retired products" day in my craft room.   With heavy to light rains falling most of today, it was the perfect day to brew a mug of Fennel Tea and play indoors.  I used retired elements from the Sailing Home Stamp Set, the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder, Brass Foil Sheets and World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Hmmm, seems I have more retired products than I thought! Soo glad I hung on to these wonderful pieces...and I'm making room for some of the new items I can't wait to order!

The basecard for this card is Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  Then another layer of Misty Moonlight dry embossed using the Old World Paper3D Embossing Folder.  The image layer is a print from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper matted with a piece of Brass Foil Sheet.          
 
Handmade greeting card using gold foil die cuts and Designer Series Paper From Stampin' Up!


I used the World Map Dies to die cut the globe from Brass Foil Sheets.  I used the Celebrate You Dies to die cut the sentiment out of Brass Foil Sheets as well.  I stamped a Very Vanilla envelope with one of the stamps from the Sailing Home Stamp Set.

It was so much fun spending an afternoon creating cards with some of my favorite retired Stampin' Up! products as I prepare my craft room for new products from the upcoming catalogs full of fall and holiday-themed items.  Most of todays items are no longer available, as they are retired products from previous catalogs.  However, you still have a couple of days to order your favorite products from the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog during the Last Chance Products sale, which ends June 30. Items up to 50% off while they last.  Order current Annual Catalog items from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.

Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Free Shipping - Today Only, 24 June 2024

           

  • Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Coordinating Elegant Tag Punch
  • Free Shipping -today only - 24 June 2021
  • Pick up your favorite Last Chance Products on sale with free shipping today
Another recent card from one of the Demonstrator-only card swap I was in, is what I'm highlighting in my post today.  The stamp set used on this card is the Elegantly Said Stamp Set with the coordinating Elegant Tag Punch. This card uses Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen Cardstock--two new In Colors introduced with the recent Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog. I love the new Elegant Tag Punch.  It is so unusual, and there are techniques for making longer tags in order to get more use out of it. Of course I had to try this card for myself, and changed up the card using one of the birthday sentiments from the Elegantly Said Stamp Set, while leaving the rest of the card as received. The cards were stamped with White Craft Ink, and a 3/8" Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was added to the bottom of the tag.  This card was created by demonstrator, Denise Will.
      
Two cards using Stampin' Up! Elegantly Said Stamp Set


The basecard for this card is Soft Succulent Cardstock.  Then a layer of Evening Evergreen Cardstock. The corners of the Evening Evergreen were stamped with one of the images from Elegantly Said Stamp Set using Whisper White Craft Ink.  I haven't used Craft ink in a while, and forgot how easily it smudged while waiting for it to dry.  However, I loved the results!  Now, I can't wait to use White Craft ink on Evening Evergreen for detailed snowflakes for Christmas Cards.

I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink onto a piece of Basic White, and then punched it using the Elegant Tag Punch.   You can easily create a tag longer than the one on this card simply by feeding the ends of your paper into the punch separately, like the photo below.  
 
Extend the size of your Elegant Tag Punch by inserting each end separately.




I added a 3/8" Soft Succulent bow to the bottom of the tag and one of the Soft Succulent Genial Gems to the top of the tag.
