Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has your week started off?
I have 1 last Mother’s Day card for you today. Here’s my card.
I played along with the Stampin’ Up Only Challenge #222. Their theme was “Celebration”. I thought Mother’s Day fit in perfectly.
I also played along with Always Fun Challenge #109. Their theme was “Female or Mom”.
I started with a Soft Sea Foam card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (available June 4th). I adhered the embossed card front to a Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the Teapot and Tea Cup images from the Stampin’ Up Tea Together Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the large rose image on the teapot and the rosebud image on the teacup from the same stamp set. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Tea Time Framelits Dies (available June 4th). I cut an oval out from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies from Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Tea Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the top of the oval. I cut out a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies in Daffodil Delight cardstock as mat to my stitched oval.
I adhered the stitched oval to the scalloped oval using Snail and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Teapot and the Tea Cup to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels which I colored with my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Marker to the stitched oval.
On the inside I did something a little different. I made a frame using my Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies in Daffodil Delight cardstock. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tea-cup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink stamping off once. I stamped the rosebuds from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink also stamping off once. I colored the image in using my light Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the tea-cup. I adhered the Whisper White panel under the stitched frame using Snail and adhered the framed image to the inside of the Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tea-cup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the rosebuds from the same stamp set on the tea-cup and I stamped the large rose image on the envelope flap. I colored everything in the same as I did for the card.

Stampin’ Up! has posted their retiring lists for the 2018-19 Annual Catalog and 2019 Occasions Catalog. Head over to my online store to pick up those retiring items now! They’re only available while supplies last from now through June 3!
A few notes about the lists:
- Due to high demand for retiring stamp sets, these items will have guaranteed availability until May 24; all other products are not guaranteed and are available while supplies last only.
- Order deadline to get the retiring products: June 3, 2019; 11:50 PM (MT)
Please note, some of the bundle items may be carrying over into the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. However, the bundle pricing will go away, so get them while you can at the discounted price!!
Stampin’ Up! Retirement List Clarification
It looks like every single stamp set from the 2018-19 Annual Catalog is being retired and that isn’t the case, the carryover sets are being transitioned to Cling Mount.
The stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalog that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalog will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until June 4, 2019 (whichever comes first).
If the inventory is depleted, you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. This means that you may end up purchasing select cling stamp sets (in carryover artwork) before they can be ordered from the catalog! All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only (with the exception of background stamps in North America) beginning June 4, 2019.
