Retiring Products


The time has come for the Stampin' Up! Retired List 2015 to be released. Say goodbye to retiring products from the 2014-2015 annual catalogue, but before we do, here's your opportunity to order your favourites with discounts up to 50 percent off retail. Retiring products will only be available until 2 June*, or while supplies last, so now's a great time to get them before they're gone!

*Note: Why are these products retiring on 2 June? Since all catalogue launches will now be aligned globally, the current 2014-2015 annual catalogue will end when the new annual catalogue launches on 2 June 2015, rather than its original end date of 30 June 2015. This includes retiring product within the catalogues, as well as the print catalogues themselves.



If you would like to place an order, send me an email or go to the Stampin' Up! Online store to place your orders.

Remember to get your orders in by June 2, as these items are only available while stocks last.

80th Birthday


My Aunt Catherine commissioned me to make some 15, but later became 20 invites for her husband, my Uncle David's 80th birthday. So I set to work and came up with the above design. 



Then I needed to come up with a birthday card, so I cased one which I saw posted on Splitcoaststampers. It involved cutting strips of coloured cardstock, one good way to use up scraps to make the candles, 80 candles which mean't I needed 8 panels with 10 candles each. For the front of the card, I stamped the background using one of the paint splotched from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and then stamped the "Celebrate your Big Day with Cake" on to whisper white cardstock and die cut it using the balloons die cut. Die cut the number 80 using glitter cardstock and used washi tape and bakers twine to embellish.
