Catalog Transition, NEW Weekly Deals & More

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Spring is in the air! and while we are enjoying the first taste of warmer weather, I wanted to make sure that you are aware of some important dates. After all I don’t want you to miss out on anything!

Stampin’ Up! is getting ready for their Catalog transition. What does this mean for you? Well there are some important dates you’ll want to be aware of since there are some changes this year to how things work.

And if this is your first catalog transition, it means that a lot of the items in the current Catalog will go away to make room for new goodies in the 2014 Annual Catalog.

So if you have held off getting something that you really want or would like more of – now is the time to order so you don’t miss out. While you’re flipping through your catalog and looking at your wish list you’ll want to pay close attention to the following items in preparation for the Retirement List:

2012-2014 In Colors (This includes card stock, ink pads, refills, markers, ribbon and accessories)
Punches
Big Shot items such as Dies & Embossing Folders
Designer Series Paper (These typically ALL retire)
Accessories (Which include ribbons, buttons, brads, etc)
Stamps (Of, course you’ll want your favorites)

It is hard to say what will be on the list until we see it. So play it safe – get the items that you really want before the list is released.

And of course, don’t forget the Occasions Catalog – When the Retirement List comes out it is easy to forget the items in this catalog. It ends on June 1st.

Transition Dates & Details:

Monday, April 21st – The Retirement List will be announced
New this year: BOTH stamps and accessories will be available Only While Supplies Last!
June 2nd – NEW 2014 Annual Catalog goes live! (ordering begins at 12 p.m. MT)
June 4th – Last Chance to Order from the “old” 2013 Annual Catalog
August 28th – New 2014 Holiday Catalog goes live! (ordering begins at 12 p.m. MT)

As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

As promised in yesterday post I’ll be sharing how I made these cute little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders with you today. A friend of mine showed me how to make these little holders during one of our demonstrator events. I thought they were just too cute so I was excited when I ran across them and decided to use them as my little gift to everyone who attended. After all who doesn’t need Post It Notes right?

I think these little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders are sooo cute that not only am I using them for the Retirement Party but also as little gifts to my daughters friends who will be attending her graduation party – I thought the little piece of luggage was in keeping with them heading off to college too since they’ll be heading off to a new adventure in life.

I created these little Bon Voyage Post It Note Holders using some of our current retiring products. I chose Lucky Limeade card stock (item 122926) and my favorite Designer Series Paper, Floral District (item 126919). I love the colors in this Designer Series Paper; it’s just so bright and cheerful. Did you see the little tags? I used the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set (item 117002/120501) and chose the words enjoy and life to stamp the two little tags with. I’m really like this stamp set, it gives you such great choices to create all kind of phrases.

You can learn how to make these little Bon Voyage Post it Note Holders by watching my latest video below:

Bon Voyage Artistic Etchings

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Artistic Etchings (item 118517/120573) is a great set that you’ll find on the retirement list. You’ll have until June 3^rd to order your stamp set if you want to get it before its gone forever! You can click HERE to see the entire Retirement List.

Here are a couple of cards I created for convention swaps back in 2010 when the set first introduced.

I tried two different color combinations basically using the same layout. The first one uses Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler, the second Sahara Sand and Cherry Cobbler.

The great thing about this set it is can be used in so many different ways. Many of the elements can be used independently or with other stamp sets.

Leave me a comment and let me know which card color combination you like best.

Farewell Greeting Card Kids

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I didn’t get to post yesterday so this is going to be a rather long post. There is a lot going on. First for the fun stuff – I wanted to share some of my cards with you for one of our retiring sets, Greeting Card Kids.

This is a great little set for year round use. Greeting Card Kids (item 119887/120633) include “vintage” images for back to school along with three holidays.

Here are a couple of cards that I made using the Greeting Card Kids for Halloween.

And another with nontraditional colors for Christmas. This one uses our Pretty in Pink Designer Series Paper from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack (item 117152) now on the retirement list.

Want to see more cards? You can check out my facebook page, Stamp with Jini for additional samples that are being posted all month long as we say Bon Voyage to those items on the Retirement List.

Bon Voyage Bordering on Romance

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you check out the retirement list that was posted Wednesday? Well Bordering on Romance (item 125480/125482) is on that list. What a great stamp set to use for all kinds of occasions. Here are some of the cards I made using this stamp set.

This first one uses Baja Breeze and the wonderful Twitterpaded Designer Series Paper (item 125406). I’m really going to miss this paper pack.

This second card uses the Loving Thoughts stamp set (item 125843/125845). This is a great sentiment set since it covers a lot of different occasions.

And this final card using our retiring color Certainly Celery. I’m sad to see it go, but am happy that Pear Pizzazz will be replacing it since that was a favorite of mine in the past when it was one of our in colors.

Saying Goodbye to Just Believe

Posted on April 26, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

One of my very favorite stamp sets is Just Believe (item 116948/120453) so I was rather sad to see this on the retirement list.

Just Believe has been one of my favorite sets because it is great to use with so many different techniques. This first card was part of my faux silk technique class last week. I love the combination of Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade together – it gives such a soft feminine feel, don’t you think?

These next cards I made using a watercolor technique. I love the way they turned out. I used a combination of Night of Navy and Old Olive this time.

And finally one in silhouette using Cajun Craze and Basic Black

You can see more about the retirement list HERE. And some of my other posts using Just Believe stamp set HERE and HERE.
