Sunday Share - A Bit Late PLUS Retiring Products List Is Here!

I don't know if you watched the Grey Cup game on Sunday with family and/or friends - well we did (YAY! Montreal) but with making plans for the game and what to eat and when, I totally forgot to poot to my blog! Then I decided I should wait until today so you would know about all the retiring products in the Holiday Mini  . . . . so here we are!

I've got a sketch for you in my weekly newsletter coming out tomorrow and wanted to give you an alternate take on the design to share that sketches can be any season or occasion you need - not just what might be pictured at the time.

Here's my birthday card - I'm always needing birthday cards, aren't you??  It's a quick and easy sketch that uses a whole sheet of 6" x 6" DSP to make two cards.  Or you can use the one sheet and add a much wider strip to your envelope, as well as a strip inside but this time I opted for the two cards . . .  which one do you like best??  It also uses the Biggest Wish Stamp Set in the Annual catalogue - while the one in my newsletter features to coordinating More Wishes Stamps Set from the Holiday Mini - having both sets gives you so many possibilities!! 

Retiring products already?/ Yes it's that time where we will be saying farewell to some seasonal favourites as Stampin' Up! prepares us for the next catalogue coming in early January.  If you still have some products' on your list to buy, now's the time to hop on to my store and get them quick before they are gone for good - just use my links here and start shopping!!  And if you live out of town, and have ordered from me in the past six months, then watch for the new Spring Mini coming to your mailbox late December/early January 😉💕

Watch for my newsletter tomorrow with all the details and sign up with my pop-up here if you haven't already as that's the best way to stay in the loop with me!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - New OnLine Exclusives and Seasonal Sale Coming November 14th!!

Two REALLY big news blasts to share with you today - and you will want to start making your shopping list for the Seasonal Sale coming November 14th too - check out all my news below . . .  and I'll try to add in a picture of my latest book cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh papers and stamping directly on the DSP at the end! 

Let's get started . . . .

New Online Exclusives Available

Yay!! New products in our Online Exclusives collection are now available! Just a reminder: these products are not available in any of our catalogues and are only listed in my online store.

The Meandering Meadow Suite Collection includes a photopolymer stamp set, coordinating dies, 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, Pecan Pie ⅜" Center Stripe Ribbon, and Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds embellishments (which were so popular in the demonstrator pre-sale that they are temporarily sold out - but more are coming!!) . 

The Garden Meadow Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Garden Meadow Dies are available to purchase as a bundle, saving you 10%! Purchase the items separately, or you can buy the whole suite collection containing the bundle plus one each of the other suite products for coordinated crafting. 

I do love the arch die and hoped it would arrive in time for me to share some cards with you but sadly it will have to wait until next time! 
 

Do you like fun critters?? The Fluffiest Friends Bundle comprises a cling stamp set and coordinating dies, which are available separately or as a bundle (saving you 10%). These super cute, hand-drawn animal images are perfect for colouring.
 

The Simply Sparkling Bundle, a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies (available separately or as a bundle, saving you 10%), is themed around refreshing, sparkling beverage cans. Use the effervescent sentiments and fruit imagery to create your own flavoured greetings to share with friends!
 

The new product release also includes three stand-alone stamp sets. The Of Art and Texture Photopolymer Stamp Set contains different artistic textures that will build to form eclectic backgrounds, and enhance your projects with a vintage look. The Feathered Flight Cling Stamp Set contains highly detailed images and sentiments of of optimism and gratitude to add to your creations. The Softly Said Cling Stamp Set features large, bold sentiments with a watercolour texture that will coordinate with so many of our other stamp sets or even stand on their own as the focal point in your projects.

 

If you love adding sparkle to your cards, you'll love the new Three Color Glimmer 12" x 12" Specialty Paper. The three hues, Highland Heather, Petal Pink, and Pretty Peacock, will easily coordinate with a variety of projects.
 

Check out the Online Exclusives section of my online store to see all the new products, along with the rest of the online exclusive collection. Remember that these new items are initially available while supplies last, so don't delay ordering as they may sell out!

Next is the notice of the Seasonal Sale with so many items in the Annual Catalogue on sale for three days starting Tuesday November 14th. Read on for the details and my newsletter later this week will have the live links so make sure you are signed up to get those.

Whew - that's a lot to look at isn't it??  Let me know if you need any help with orders, or deciding what you need to get - it's always hard with so many choices 😉💕

Here's the card ideas I promised - so easy to make a few and possibilities are endless with trying different scenes from this fun DSP pack you will find online! I added a few glitter die cut snowflakes so they will be easy to mail . . . .

I found the small deer stamp in a retired set called Snow Front - it pays to keep your favourites handy and the size was perfect for the front of this card!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Did You Turn Your Clock Back? Remembrance Day is coming!

I'm taking today's post to remind me that we are here, with our freedoms, because of those who fought in wars defending those freedoms that we cherish so much.  Maybe you too will take a few minutes from your busy times to reflect on their sacrifices, and to appreciate that they so willingly gave up their home life to join that fight.  I know we will be taking in local and other ceremonies on Saturday as we remember family and friends who had the courage to defend our countries. 

I had to memorize this poem so many times in school for our Remembrance Day ceremonies growing up in Montreal that I'll never forget the words . . . . do you remember this too?

Thank you for reading and taking your moment of quiet too.

Did you  remember to turn your clocks back overnight - Standard Time is back for another few months as of 2:00 am on November 5th - yeah I know, remind me why we keep doing this again?? 

Change your clocks now so you don't end up wondering why no one is there yet when you arrive somewhere in the next couple of days! Smartphones are the only ones that change automatically (must be why they are called SMART!)   How many clocks do you have to change in your home??  I think we had about 10!

See you next Sunday with some new inspiration . . . . . and if you want to Shop Now then here's my link and a new Host Code for November too -WEWXHM4K 

Happy stamping!
