Retiring List 2016/17 Annual Catalogue & Spring/Summer 2017 Catalogue

What an EXCITING TIME!! New products are coming so that means we need to say goodbye to some products forever....

So get them BEFORE they sell out as they will be gone FOREVER.

So do you want to see what is retiring? Choose the file type you prefer below

• Retiring List (pdf)
• Retiring List (excel)

Items from both the Annual Catalogue and the Spring/Summer Seasonal Catalogue which will NOT be carried over are shown on the lists above.

In previous years I have had many customers that have missed out on retiring products and they were kicking themselves that they didn't get their favourite retiring items quickly enough!

So don't delay - SHOP TODAY!

The quickest way to order is via my online shop 24/7.
Enter the code V4MFSA49 during the month of April 2017
and you will receive a free gift from me (learn more).

Please note if any of the items you would like give you a backordered notice that means there is more stock expected into the warehouse and that your order will likely be fulfilled. If you enter the code and you get a notification that this item has been discontinued and cannot be added to your order that means this item has sold out and is no longer available.

Some of the items are being reconfigured so if you see the basic rhinestones for example this does not mean that we will no longer be selling rhinestones, it just means they have been repackaged and will be offered in a different configuration.

Finally it is a wonderful time to join, you can add any current items to your starter kit including retired and discounted products. You pay £99 and you can choose £130 worth of any products and you get to see the brand new catalogue coming in June and an even better perk, demonstrators get to pre-order some of the new products in May!

Dragonfly Dreams Bee Happy Card from Stampin' Up! - #GDP075

I'm taking part in the Global Design Project for the first time and in my usual style I'm leaving it until the last few hours to submit my entry!

This week's theme is Winged Creatures.

Although I've used the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set, I've actually used the bee image.

I stamped the bee image twice - firstly with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Whisper White card and then secondly onto vellum with Black Stazon. I coloured in the cardstock stamped bee with a Crushed Curry marker and cut out the body. I then attached the vellum wings that I had stamped onto vellum and used the clear Wink of Stella pen to give some shimmer to the wings. Once this was complete the rest of the card came together quite easily.

And of course no card is complete without a bit of stamping inside - this is how I finished it off...

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Vellum, Pop of Pink Specialty DSP ♦ Stamps: Dragonfly Dreams, Labeler Alphabet ♦ Ink: Crushed Curry, Basic Black Marker, Memento Tuxedo Black, Black Stazon ♦ Tools/Acc: Wink of Stella Clear, Stampin' Dimensionals, Stitched Shapes Framelits

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.
