Hello Friends,

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator this time of year is exciting because demonstrators from around the world will be placing their preorders from the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Catalog.  While it is a time of anticipation, there is also a little bit of lament.  To make room for all our fabulous new Crafting Supplies, we have to say good-bye to some of our current favorites.  Today, I'm giving a final salute to the Treehouse Adventure stamp set by Stampin' Up! with 6 project ideas.

I really loved this card with the partial Buffalo Check background and the house being lifted with a bundle of balloons. Get the full Scoop

You may remember this Happy Birthday Easel card from earlier this week.  Learn How to Make the Treehouse Adventure Easel Card

The real wow on this card is the inside.  It's a Shadow Box card that I made for our Pastor and his wife.  They were a wonderful team and we loved them dearly, but it was time for them to move on to a new adventure. Treehouse Adventure Shadow Box Card Details

What can I say?  My imagination runs wild when I use the bouquet of balloons from the Hand Delivered hostess stamp set with the house from the Treehouse Adventure stamp set. Get the Details

What kid doesn't love a tree complete with a tire swing?  

Note:  The Treehouse Adventure stamp set is only available until June 3, 2019, or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.  

Would you have an adventure of your own? 

We'd love to have you

  Hello Friends,

There's nothing like a retirement list to get you thinking about how much you're going to miss certain stamp sets.  Stamp sets are like old friends.  You may not see them for a while, but when you meet up again it's like old times.  You connect, have fun together and want to spend more time together.  The Jar of Love stamp set, Everyday Jars dies and Envelope Punch Board are today's old friends.

Mason Jars and flowers what could be better?  See card details.

Watch the look of delight on a child's face when you put lightning bugs in a mason jar.  Details Here.

Jar of Love makes fabulous I love you cards.  Get the full scoop.

Here a very simple, but elegant card made with the Jar of Love stamp set.  See it all.

Doesn't my mason jar look fabulous backed with Crumb Cake Cable Knit?  Sadly, the Cable Knit Embossing Folder is also on the Retirement list.  Get all the details.

And... from yesterday's blog post 3 more cards featuring the Jar of Love stamp set and Everyday Dies.  See them here.

Jar of Love Pint Size Tips

To form a mini pint-size card shaped like a mason jar, place your die just above the fold line as shown to avoid cutting the top of your card.

Adhere a 1-3/4" circle to the top of the jar card and build your bouquet.

Hint:  Place card on the envelope to build bouquet to ensure that you don't make the bouquet bigger than the envelope.

The envelope was made with the Envelope Punch Board and a 6" square of Gingham Gala paper.  It's big enough to fit  3-1/2" card.  For a tutorial on how to make the envelope, click here.

Good-Bye Jars of Love, Everyday Jars and Envelope Punch Board, I'll Remember You Fondly

All 3 are on the 2019 Stampin' Up! Retirement List and will only be available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST or until May 31 whichever comes first.  If any of these crafting products are on you "list"  scoop them up before they are gone for good.

Have a fabulous weekend,

Stampin' Up! Retirement List 2019

Retiring 2019 Occasions PDF

2018-2019 Annual Catalog

• All retiring items are only available while supplies last and will be discontinued after June 3.
• Due to the high demand for retiring stamp sets, these items will have guaranteed availability until May 24; all other products are not guaranteed and are available while supplies last only.

Note:

CARRY-OVER STAMP SETS (currently wood and clear)
They are NOT retiring as the retirement list appears. They'll be available ONLY in cling in the new catalog. 

Click here to see carry-over clear or wood mount stamp sets.

Effective immediately, stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalog that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalog will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until June 4, 2019 (whichever comes first). If our inventory is depleted, you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. This means that you may end up purchasing select cling stamp sets (in carryover artwork) before they can be ordered from the catalog! All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only (with the exception of background stamps in North America) beginning June 4, 2019.

Have a fabulous day,
