Sunday Share - which retiring products are on your "gotta have" list?

Today I'm highlighting some cards I got at a recent team swap during the Vancouver On Stage event earlier this month. We had to make cards with products from the Annual Catalogue - and not knowing what was retiring meant that some of the awesome samples showcased stamps and/or dies that will be retiring the end of May (or sooner if supplies run out!)

Do you have pet lovers among your friends or family? Then these two sets are ones you will want to pick up before they retire - the puppy one is called Bella & Friends (it has been in my collection since it first came out) and the other is Pretty Kitty - take a look at the cute kitty card above that I received in the swap from Sheryl and a couple of sample ideas below from our concept artists . . . you can even use the stamp sets together to create some fun messages!! Order your Bella & Friends (click here) from my On Line store before you miss out! Use this link for Pretty Kitty!

I loved the Half Full Stamp Set and picked it up to make cards for friends - you never know when a wine themed card will be just what you need to add to a bottle as a hostess gift, or to send a cheerful greeting to someone at any time of year . . . . and you can colour the glasses with red or white so always appropriate - click here to order this set before it goes for good! This swap card from my friend Diane has an inside pocket so you can add a gift card to your greeting - so easy to do!

My next swap card was made by Alicja and features the retiring Ribbon of Courage Stamp Set - what a wonderful group of images and sentiments to send to someone battling cancer to let them know you are thinking of them.  The Support Ribbon Framelits will continue into the new catalogue but the stamp set won't so make sure you get it (click here) so you can use it for so many occasions. I know it will be one I keep in my personal collection . . . .

I am really sad to say good-bye to Dragonfly Dreams and the coordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies - they have been a favourite in my craft room to showcase so many techniques and they will be missed! This swap card came from my friend Ginette and it shows off the framelits perfectly!You can click here to get the link to these awesome products!

I'll be back next week with some more favourites that are retiring but if you want to see all the retiring products in one place then click here for the complete list and order before they are gone!

Happy Stamping!
