Stampin' Up! Year-End Closeout


Stampin' Up! Year-End Closeout 


Last chance on select retiring and surplus items -- only while supplies last!  The Year-End Closeout is limited-inventory, so place your orders before these closeouts are gone.






Here's how it works:  

Retiring Favorites  Many items in the Holiday Catalog are retiring and between now and January 2 this is your last chance to pick up your favorites before they are gone forever.  Check out these retiring favorites now, as these items are gone once they sell out
.

 Retiring Favorites



Discounted Retiring Favorites  Some of the retiring items from your Holiday Catalog Wishlist are discounted!  Now is a great time to pick up a few of your favorite discounted items from the holiday catalog.  This is a limited-time offer, so place your order soon.

Discounted Holiday Catalog Products


I'm picking up some of the Red Distress Card Tins, 148027, in Cherry Cobbler with Very Vanilla Stripes, discounted to US$6.17 each, a 35% savings.  These are just the right size for Holiday gift packaging right now.  Next month I'll decorate a few with a Valentine theme to be ready for the next major holiday.

Several items, such as Winter Woods stamp set and coordinating dies will carry over to next year's catalog.  However, to order the Winter Woods bundle at a 10% savings, you'll want to purchase the bundle now as the bundle is on the Last Chance Closeout List, even though the individual items will carry over to the next catalog.

Stamping Up Butterfly Gala Sneak Peek

  • Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala
  • Stampin' Up! Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Sneak Peek
  • New Christmas Card Tutorial added to Tutorial Tab

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Sneak Peek


The cards I'm showing today are a sneak peak of a couple of new products Stampin' Up! will introduce in the Occasion catalog in early January 2019.  Demonstrators who attended Stampin' Up! OnStage event were able to order some of the Occasion catalog items early, and I received my preorder just before I left town for Thanksgiving.  So, I've been anxiously trying to free up my schedule now that I'm back to play with these new items.  Today got away from me, but I found a free hour at the end of the day to create my first cards using the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies.   

I'm also using one of the new prints from the All My Love Designer Series Paper, another sneak peek at Occasion catalog items.         

  
Butterfly Gala Stamp Set, Butterfly Beautiful Thinlits and All My Love Designer Series Paper



I created two versions of this card.  One is a Thank You card, which we're all likely to need as soon as Hanukkah or Christmas is finished.  The basecard is Berry Burst. Then a layer of Whisper White.  And then a layer of All My Love Designer Series Paper.  Both cards include a bow out of 3/8" Berry Burst Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon.  


     

The card above includes a sentiment from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set.  It is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a Whisper White Oval using the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies. There are sooooo many different butterflies in the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Die set.  I selected a couple and die cut them in Silver Glimmer Paper and used on large and one small butterfly to accent the sentiment label.  I also added a couple of  Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets from the Holiday catalog.





The sentiment from this card is also from the Butterfly Gala.  The sentiment is punched using the Tailored Tag Punch.   The butterflies, again, are die cut from Silver Glimmer Paper using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies.  This card also includes a Clear Epoxy Droplet.  Of course, you probably already know that January is also the beginning of Stampin' Up! best sale of the year - Sale-A-bration.  One of the free gifts with $50 order is a 12 X 12 pack of Designer Series Paper with 6 different butterfly prints that compliment the Butterfly Beauty dies.  I'll be showcasing this beautiful paper in upcoming posts.  I love that Stampin' Up! ha coordinated items from the Annual Catalog, the Occasions catalog and the free pick from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

  • Stampin' Up!  Snowfall Thinlits Dies
  • Join us for December 2 to make hand-made Christmas Cards Class

Stampin' Up! Snow is Glistening Stamp set


The Snowflake Showcase sets and dies are about to disappear in two more days -- November 30-- and I know I haven't played with these stamps and dies enough.  I love snowflakes, so I've been enjoying not only each and every card I've made with this set, but the enormous number of samples I've seen posted on Pinterest and Instagram.  If you haven't taken a close look at this set, please don't wait.  You'll be so happy to have these items as part of your stamping collection.  You'll enjoy creating holiday, winter and spring cards with this set of two stamps and coordinating dies. 

I'm continuing to showcase the largest snowflake from this set of dies on today's card.  I'm using non-traditional Christmas colors of Petal Pink and Silver to create a fresh holiday look.          

  



The basecard is Petal Pink.  Then a layer of Silver Foil paper.  And then the image layer is Whisper White.      

The large snowflake is die cut using the Snowfall Thinlit dies an it is cut out of Petal Pink.  The smaller snowflake is also from this die set and it is die cut out of Silver Foil Sheets.






The 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon folds three ties under the largest snowflake  The Silver Snowflake includes a Clear Epoxy Droplet.

The sentiment is from the Snow Is Glistening stamp set.  It is heat set in Silver Embossing Powder.    It is a stunning card you'll be proud to sent to someone you love.  

  

    


These Snowflake Showcase items are available from my online store, but only until November 30.  To view other products in the Stampin' Up! product line, download both the annual and holiday catalogs.  Want to receive the new catalogs coming out in January?  Contact me with your mailing address.
