Retiring product showcase: Oh My Goodies and Something To Say



Quite a few retiring products feature on this card. Off the top of my head, products which are retiring include Oh My Goodies stamp set (sold out in wood) and the Deco Labels framelits, Something to Say stamp set and the matching Itty Bitty Accents punches (sold out), the bird punch (sold out), Farmers’ Market DSP, the Decorative Dots embossing folder and Blackberry Bliss ink pad (sold out) and cardstock! Phew! That only leaves the Mint Macaron and Whisper White cardstock! 

I made this project before the retiring list came out but can’t claim any foresight; to be honest, the retiring list never even crossed my mind at the time. 

Don’t forget, before placing your online orders, do download the latest version of the retiring list to check which items are now out of stock. And don’t rely on information you get from people’s blogs as stock levels are different around the world.

Tap Tap Tap birthday card


I made this for a colleague’s birthday, left it until the last minute as usual, so had to photograph it at work before giving it to her! Turns out the light is really good at work, so I may just have to do that again!

Have I mentioned how much I love this typewriter stamp? It seemed a very appropriate card to give to a journalist.

Little Thank You boxes with Kinda Eclectic butterfly


I have just one more thing to show you from my All-Day Craftathon, and that’s this little box. Everybody received one of these at their table, to thank them for giving up a day to spend with me. Inside is one of my favourite things: a Lindor chocolate (the red ones), so it was quite a wrench to give them away! Fortunately there was a spare which I gave to myself to thank me for making all these little boxes - as you probably know, I don’t like making projects in bulk!

It’s a very simple box, pinched at the top and stapled to keep it closed. The tiny peg wouldn’t be strong enough, that’s just for show!

Little butterfly thank you cards




I may not be here much but I’m busy squirrelling away in the background, planning like mad for my All-Day Craftathon tomorrow!

I’ve started packing boxes and you would not belieeeve how many ink pads I am taking with me! It’s very much an inky event, and I’m sure there are going to be some very inky fingers by the end of each session. 

But I’ll be telling you more about that next week, as I know most of my customers like the projects to be a surprise. 

Meanwhile, here are the little thank you cards I made for this month’s club order. They are half sized, so you get four from a sheet of A4 cardstock, and they’re pretty much CASEd from this project, which is a non-Stampin’ Up!® card but was so easy to adapt. 

I made half in Calypso Coral and half in Coastal Cabana, simply flipping over the DSP accordingly. The buttons are really sweet and come from the SAB Accessory Pack, with three rolls of ribbon, too. I cut the ribbon up to share as a little treat for the club members, to give them a little taste of what they could earn with their next SAB order. 


Anyway, must press on. Boxes to pack, cakes to bake… house to run round in manner of headless chicken...
