2015 Holiday Catalog Retiring List! (Many While Supplies Last)

CLICK ON IMAGE TO VIEW RETIRING STOCK ONLINE or SHOP NOW!

Yes, I totally understand that many of you haven't yet decided what you're going to make for your Christmas card this year, and here I am flaunting that scary word "retiring". It's okay--BREATHE :-)

Here are the quick and important tidbits:
  • Retiring Products will ALL be gone for good after January 4th, 2015*
  • Tools, embellishments, preprinted stuff, and other supplies are while supplies last
  • STAMPS are guaranteed for production on orders placed through December 28th
*Remaining retired stock may appear on the Clearance Rack at a later date.

PDF 2015 Holiday Retiring List
Excel 2015 Holiday Retiring List

Now, all that said...if you don't SHOP NOW and grab what you want before it's gone, don't say I didn't warn you! ;-) HOWEVER, I feel I should take a moment to point out that for the last couple or few years, Stampin' Up! has offered an Online Extravaganza promotion during the week around Thanksgiving, featuring specific BONUS specials on Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. I do NOT have any information on this sale for this year, but I also have not heard that Stampin' Up! will NOT be having it...so keep your eyes, ears, and email notifications out for the official details on this. To be clear, I am NOT recommending you wait to buy something you want that's on the retiring list, because there is no guarantee it will go on sale. What I *am* saying, is that if you have not yet designed your holiday cards, decor, or handcrafted gifts or packaging projects, and if you are flexible with what those might look like...then it might be a better choice for you to wait a few days and see what you can grab on sale, IF there is a sale :-)

Another word of advice for the Bargain Shoppers: if you are ready to SHOP NOW to grab the retiring stuff you want TODAY, before it's gone, do yourself a favor and stop by the Clearance Rack and Weekly Deals section of my Online Store before you check out!

When Cats Critique Christmas Cards

I was just minding my own business, setting up to take a picture of card to show you, and my cat Gizmo decided to be a smartypants (or smartytail, or whatever). She normally hates pictures, and turns away from them...but no matter how close I'd put the camera to her, she would NOT move out of my way! So, you get to see what an adorable, furry, twerp she can be. I could swear she's saying in this picture, "You call this a card?!? Really??"


Actually, this was a tag that demonstrators got to make several months ago at a Stampin' Up! event, before the 2015 Holiday Catalog even came out. It features the Home for Christmas Suite of products. I don't usually have much use for tags, so I just adhered the whole thing to a card front I stamped with the Hardwood background stamp (available in wood-mount or clear-mount). Here's a shot of just the card--it's not super great quality because I had to put it up higher on a kitty-free shelf, and snap it quick, before kitty got beligerent. Again.


Stampin' Supplies: Cozy Christmas stamp set, Hardwood background stamp, Pear Pizzazz card stock & ink, Very Vanilla card stock, Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper, Home for Christmas Designer Buttons, Very Vanilla 1-1/4" Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon, Old Olive Baker's Twine, Handheld Stapler.

DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee you'll get a kitty showing up if you make this card, but your chances do appear to increase if you make the card, and THEN try to take a picture of it!

Foxy Birthday Greetings

Thankful Forest Friends stamp set with Age Awareness stamp set greeting. Photo © Stampin' Up!

So...I totally was NOT going to buy the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set (available as shown, in Clear-Mount, and also in Wood-Mount), even though I thought the animals were super cute. I just didn't see using them with the greetings in that same stamp set enough this Fall to justify it. Leave it to Stampin' Up! to change my mind! You'd think that I'd have realized I can use the animals separately, after all, I have been doing this for over 21 years now. And I thought I'd better share this, because if I wasn't thinking outside of the [stamp set] box, to imagine such an adorable birthday card, maybe you weren't either!

Stampin' Supplies: (this is speculation since I didn't make this card) Thankful Forest Friends stamp set, Age Awareness stamp set, Mint Macaron card stock, Whisper White card stock, Tangerine Tango ink and card stock, Night of Navy ink and card stock, Versamark (or Mint Macaron) ink pad for animals in background, Everyday Chic Designer Washi Tape, Tangerine Tango Baker's Twine (retired - maybe sub Basic Gray Baker's Twine, or Silver Metallic Thread.

Are you giving this stamp set a second thought, too??
Go ahead, get it in my ONLINE STORE today!
