The Retirement List is LIVE!!

Hello!
The Retirement List has been published and you can find all the retiring products HERE, in my shop.

A couple of points I want to mention to you are:

 The trimmer is retiring :-( It is being redesigned (after some issues with the blades) and there will not be a trimmer in the  new catalogue.

Please do pop your email address in the box (HERE in my shop) to receive a notification email to stock up on your blades. Apparently six months worth of blades have been ordered but I predict they will sell out loooong before that.

Also the Big Shot is leaving us. SU! are going to be sourcing their dies directly from the manufacturer going forward and so will also be designing a new machine. All the current dies will work in the new machine and the new dies will work in your current Big Shot. There will be no "need" to purchase the new machine if you have a current Big Shot, unless you want the new machine, of course :-)

Lastly for today, some news about the retiring stamps:
CARRYOVER CLEAR-MOUNT AND WOOD-MOUNT STAMPS
Effective immediately, stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalogue that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalogue will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until 4 June 2019 (whichever comes first). Once our inventory is depleted (prior to 4 June 2019), you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only, beginning 4 June 2019.

Find all the stamps staying with us but changing to cling mount only HERE

So, please do head over and take a look if there's anything you have an eye on ;-)

I'll actually be back later today with a second post for a new Inspire. Create Challenge so please do pop back. Posts are like busses around here, right? Lol!

Thanks for looking :-)

Weather Together in Dapper Denim

Hello and welcome to another Inspire. Create. Challenge :-)

This week the theme is Retiring Colours and I was spoilt for choice! I am going to miss all of these colours.. And I've made this card just as the sun comes out in the UK, using Weather Together! Bit of a fail, right? Anyway, hopefully the card will banish some of that rain we have been having for a little while at least?!

 I kept with the monochrome look with just a Soft Sky baby wiped swipe background on shimmer white card.

 I added a few of the Epoxy Shapes for some 3d raindrops.

 Adding the brolly with dimensionals just gives this card a little lift!

 So, I do hope you'll head over to see what other projects the rest of the DT have made on the  I.C.C BLOG HERE :-) And of course enter your projects here too!

Flying Home Stamp Set and a Ton of News!

Hello there,
I have soooo much to share today! The last week has been just crayzee here so although I have been on Insta and Facebook I have just not had time to blog an actual card on here! And I do have a card today so please do stick with me, I just have a few links and dates to share with you first :-D
So, let's start with what a fab-u-lous time On Stage was last weekend! It was great to see the new catalogue that's coming of course, but it was really great to spend some stamping time with some of my Stampin' Up! family.
OK, so I mentioned the new catty but that of course means retiring products, including the rather gorgeous stamp set I'm featuring here today, Flying Home, :-(
To see all the RETIRING PRODUCTS CLICK HERE

Here's a PDF of Retiring Spring/Summer Products

And a PDF of Annual Catalogue Products

Please, please order the things you 'must have' ASAP so you aren't disappointed :-)

There was also news of a colour refresh at On Stage so some colours are being removed (for-ever!) to make way for lots of lovely new ones...

And they are also re-configuring the ink pads. Due to the dies coming to the end of their life SU! took the opportunity to improve on the current pads. Don't worry, you won't have to change all your ink pads (unless you want to, of course ;-)) as they will still work and the new ones are much the same size so they should fit in your current storage options fine too. I'll be able to share more soon but for now here is the last guaranteed dates for ordering, then it's while stocks last. 

OK, so let's see a card shall we? I am super sad this stamp set (Flying Home) didn't make the new Annual catty...

 I used blends to colour the image and teamed it with the Wood Textures DSP

 Stitched edge dies. I can't seem to get enough of them ;-)

 Finish with some blingy glimmer paper and a few adhesive sequins and boom! Done!

OK, that's all for today.
I hope you managed to stick with me through this post? If you have any questions regarding the changes please do drop me a line at sarah-janerae@sky.com and I'll be happy to help as much as I'm allowed :-)

New Driver Cards using Let's Get Away and Beautiful Ride by Stampin' Up!

Good Morning!

It's a lovely sunny, if a little blustery, day here today and I have a full day ahead but first I wanted to share with you a couple of cards I made this week for two lovely ladies who both passed their driving test on Tuesday! I have married the old with the new and used two stamp sets that are retiring {you only have until Tuesday 31.05.16 to order them} teamed with the new in Colours Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum, I'm loving these new colours so much!

So, lets see the cards shall we?

 I'll start with the Flirty Flamingo a little closer

 I started by drawing  a very faint pencil line across the card and stamping the coloured car from the Project Life stamp set "Let's Get Away". I actually bought this stamp set to make up my PL albums from our holiday to the USA this year, *I will get that done soon!*

 Then added the smoky slate ones either side, it's very easy to do as this is a photopolymer stamp set.

 Here it is in Sweet Sugarplum..

 I then used just part of a sentiment from Beautiful Ride. Yes, I did cut another stamp apart ;-)

 I added a few teeny tiny star sequins I had in my stash around the coloured car on each card

 We gifted the girls with an updated version of the traditional fluffy dice, this purse from Accessorize to keep a little change in, in their cars...

And one final picture of the cards together,

OK, that's all from me for today, I'm off to make something fun!

'till tomorrow, Stampin' Hugs,
