Good Friday morning my fellow stampers. How was you week? The weekend is here and we’re suppose to have rain, AGAIN. I’m going to have to build an ark soon in my backyard.
For today’s card I made a quick and easy one for you. I’ve used 3 of the retiring 2017-2019 In-Colors along with the retiring Laser-Cut paper. As of the last time I looked all the Inks, Refills and Paper are available except Lemon Lime Twist Paper. If you are wanting any of these colors, I wouldn’t wait. You’ll want to get them before they are gone.
Here’s my card for today.
I started with a panel of the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and adhered it to a Fresh Fig card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The designs that come with this paper are absolutely gorgeous. There is a Whisper White side and a Very Vanilla side. I used the Very Vanilla side. I adhered the card front to a Tranquil Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up One For All Stamp Set in Tranquil Tide Ink.
I adhered the artwork to a Powder Pink mat using Snail and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Big Thank You Stamp Set on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock in Tranquil Tide Ink. I stamped the small scroll below the sentiment in Powder Pink Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Fresh Fig mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Tranquil Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To complete my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I adhered a strip of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. All the items I used today except the A Big Thank You stamp set will be retiring as of June 3rd. Now’s the time to grab them. Happy Stamping!!\

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.
Here is the list of stamp sets that WILL be in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. The stamp sets on this list will not be retiring, they will simply be transitioned to Cling Mount moving forward:
- Accented Blooms
- Animal Outing
- Artisan Textures
- Barn Door

Product List
I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card front and adhered a piece of the beautiful Sale-A-Bration Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Butterfly Gala Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom portion of the cardstock. I then ran it through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it a little texture.
For this card, the measurements are a little different then my normal cards. The measurements are below. Using my Big Shot, I started by cutting out the beautiful corner floral piece from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies in So Saffron cardstock. I adhered the die cut to a So Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a Whisper White panel, using my Stamparatus, I stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Abstract Impressions stamp set in Shaded Spruce, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody Inks. I then stamped the watermark behind each sentiment in Soft Sea Foam, Powder Pink and So Saffron Inks. I was able to get everything lined up perfectly by using the Stamparatus and hinging down to repeat each sentiment, (hope that made sense). I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night Of Navy mat using Snail.
I adhered a double bow using Night Of Navy Medium Bakers Twine below the sentiments. I adhered the artwork to the So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I adhered a piece of Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to the right side of the card base. I stamped the flowers from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamped off once, Soft Sea Foam Ink, Petal Pink Ink and Calypso Coral Ink along the bottom of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the So Saffron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I adhered a panel of the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to the inside left of the card base using Snail.
Here is what I came up with for this Sketch and Thank you Challenge. Take a look.
I started with a Calypso Coral card front and using my Big Shot I embossed it with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up Bee Thankful stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. To get the shading on the thanks, I first colored with my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. I then colored the bottom with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker and then blended it with my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the artwork to a Granny Apple Green mat using Snail. I adhered a piece of the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon across the bottom of the artwork. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the so much sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Big Thank You stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it below the artwork using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dot to the small strip.
