One Last Chance…Last Chance lists are here

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Genevieve Valdes

Remember back on April 7th the BIG announcement on color renovation.  Along with the new colors in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog to be released on July 1st there will also be new stamps, accessories, decor elements, dies and paper.  To make room for all these goodies we have to say goodbye to some products.  I hope you saved your money so you can buy all your retiring favs.  To make it easy the lists are divided by type of product.  Click on the links below to see retiring products or you can you can also click here to view retiring products on my website.

Availability: Retiring stamps and Definitively Decorative products will be available through June 30.  Retiring accessories are available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. For some great deals don’t miss out the discounted items.  If you have accessory favs, my suggestion is to order on-line . They tend to sell out quickly.

Last Chance Accessories List Updates will be posted under Accessories List Updates on the right side bar

Simple Valentine’s card – Make & Take

Posted on January 25, 2010 by Genevieve Valdes

I love the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set!  I know I keep saying this but there are so many cute hearts in this set and if you purchase it now Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 from every set sold to the Haitian Relief Fund.  So not only will you get this great stamp set but you’ll be doing your part to make a difference.  Now on to the card…

This is a simple Valentine card I CASED from Kay Kalhoff’s blog.  I love the simplicity of this card.  I didn’t layer as much as she did and I did not have the new Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die  so I used what I had and I think it turned out very cute.  I also stamped the envelope for that extra touch.  I am going to have my group make this card at my next event this weekend.  Thank you for the idea Kay!

Project info:  All SU products to create this card may be purchased from my SU website.
