Stampin' Up! Butterfly Basics makes a perfect Spring card


  • Spring is for butterflies
  • Mr. Brown arrives with my Premiere New Catalog Order
  • Retiring List items continue to disappear
  • Demonstrators can view OnStage On-Line

Butterfly Basics

Today felt like the perfect Spring day.  The soft breeze, muted sunlight and very light drizzle on my morning walk with our Australian Shepherd was so refreshing.  The trees and foliage are 50 shades of green with the abundant rains we've had this spring.    I reached for a set that matched my mood this morning, Butterfly Basics.  







I used a Pink Piroutte base card and Pear Pizzazz matting to my Whisper White layer.  I added Rich Razzleberry as my contrasting color and also used it for my sentiment.  This card works well with so many different sentiments and this set includes three very nice sentiments.   However, I chose to use sentiments from two other sets That's the Tag and Tin of Cards. 
     







I also  use Butterflies Thinlits in two sizes to create the beautiful die cuts for this card.  I used Pink Pirouette again for the larger butterfly and I used vellum for the smaller butterfly and layered them together.  I ran the vellum butterflies through the Gently Falling Embossing folder to add dimension to the vellum paper.  Then I accented the body of the butterfly with Basic Pearls.  The Butterfly Basic set includes additional grunge elements and I stamped that in the lower left corner in So Saffron and the broken line I stamped in Rich Razzleberry.  








    

Recipe:

Stamp:  Butterfly Basics, That's the Tag, Tin of Cards
Ink:  Pear Pizzaz, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron 
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzaz, Whisper White 
Accessories:    Basic Pears, Butterflies Thinlits, Standard Cutting Mats, Big Shot Die Brush, Big Shot Precision Plate, Big Shot, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  


Mr Brown arrived at 5:21 pm



I waited for the sound of the UPS truck all day, and it finally arrive with my premiere order from the new catalog!  

My wonderful UPS man delivering my Stampin' Up! order.  He's smiling because I'm bouncin gup and down!


One of the benefits of attending OnStage is that Stampin' Up! makes a certain amount of new catalog products available to OnStage attendees to order early.  While demonstrators wait until early May to place their first order and customers can begin placing orders from the new catalog June 1, Stampin' Up! OnStage attendees are already beginning to create sneak peeks at the new colors, stamp sets and wonderful new accessories, punches, and dies. 


Of course I ripped my package open and for you, here's a quick peek inside.  Oh, Oh,  I can't wait to finish this post so I can start playing. (...As she bounces up and down excitedly on her office chair...).



Retiring list items beginning to disappear


Stampin' Up! published the Retiring List so you know what products will disappear May 31 when the new catalog appears.

This is your opportunity to pick up those items left on your wish list or reinkers for retiring In Colors you'll need once these colors disappear.  Some are already gone, so don't delay.  


See the products retiring May 31.

Stampin' Up! also provides an Excel listing for sorting and easier tracking what comes off your stamping shelves.   download the U.S. Retiring list  



If you are a scrapbooker, I think you'll like the prices on the Project Life photo pocket holders on the retiring list.  The Stampin' Up! and Project Life 3-year contract is up, and Stampin' Up! will carry its own photo pocket holders beginning with the new catalog.  You'll be able to continue building out your scrapbooks with similar photo pages from Stampin' Up!.  However, these are great prices on the Project Life Photo Pocket pages that you'll want to stock up on now.

- Stamps will continue to be produced until May 22, and then sold only while they last.

- Accessories will only be available until they sell out and will not be reordered

- Check out the discounted items on the retiring list.  Some up to 50% off.

Take a look at this list and place an order before its too late and your favorite items are goner.

Stampin' Up! - Perfect Mix - You're "Grate" - final in series of 4 cards with this set.


  • Perfect Mix- You're "Grate!"
  • Retiring List released with discounts
  • Demonstrators can view new catalog on-line

Perfect Mix Clear Mount Stamp set - 25% off


Today is my final card in using the Perfect Mix stamp set.  As I mentioned yesterday, this set comes in both wood and clear-mount red rubber sets.  The Red Rubber Clear Mount (142933) went on sale yesterday as part of the Retiring list for 25% off!  The Red Rubber Clear Mount version was $19.00, but its listed on the retiring list for   $14.25.  







I continued with the same color theme of Pool Party and Real Red and Basic Black for the sentiment, which I also used on the previous cards.     








I used the Pool Party and Real Red Stamp Write Marker to color the images.  I used the Layering Ovals Framelits with the Big Shot to create the main image layer.








The sentiment used was part of the measuring spoons image.  It can be cut apart or covered with a sticky note, but it was easier and faster to use it as intended.    I stamped two spatulas and the eggs and fussy cut them out and added them with dimensional.  






Here's what all four cards look like together.  I think this is a fun set for anyone who likes a play on words and knows someone who cooks.    

Recipe:

Stamp:  Perfect Mix
Ink:  Real Red, Pool Party
Paper: Real Red, Pool Party, Whisper White, Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack
Accessories:    Layering Ovals Framelits, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

Third card using Perfect Mix Stamp Set -- and the set is now 25% off!


  • Perfect Mix- No one measures up to you
  • Retiring List announcement earlier today
  • Dmonstrators can view new catalog on-line

Perfect Mix Clear Stamp set - 25% off


I'm still working with the Perfect Mix stamp set.  Here's today's card using this set.  It comes in both wood and cear red rubber sets.  The Red Rubber Clear Mount (142933) went on sale today as part of the Retiring list for 25% off!  It was $19.00 and you can purchase it today for $14.25.  But don't wait.  The Clear Mount sets are showing low inventory on the Inventory list.







I continued with the same color theme of Pool Party and Real Red and Basic Black for the sentiment, which I also used in the previous card from Friday and and another card from Sunday.    








I used the Pool Party and Real Red Stamp Write Marker to color the images.  I used the Layering Squares Framelits with the Big Shot to create the main image layer.







The sentiment used was part of the measuring spoons image.  It can be cut apart or covered with a sticky note, but it was easier and faster to use it as intended.  I stamped the spatula in Basic Black, colored it, and fussy cut it before adding it to the card.  The left side of the spatula is popped up on dimensionals and the right side is just glued on since it already had two layers of cardstock beneath it.    

Recipe:

Stamp:  Perfect Mix
Ink:  Real Red, Pool Party
Paper: Real Red, Pool Party, Whisper White, Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack
Accessories:    Layering Squares Framelits, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

Plus, several items are discounted, but only while supplies last.  Some items discounted up to 50% off!

Its not uncommon for some items to sell out very shortly after the release of the Retiring List announcement.  So I suggest you quickly take a look at this list and place an order before its too late and your favorite items are gone forever.  

Here's the link to my Stampin' Up! Store to see the products retiring June 1.
