Dear Crafters,
Tonight I am participating in a blog hop along with the super talented ladies in the Art With Heart Team. We thought it would be fun to share some projects using our favourite retiring products from both the 2016-2017 annual and 2017 occasions catalogues!
Select retiring products have discounts of up to 50% off but are only available until sold out. Be sure to place orders before the sun sets on these items on 31 May. You don’t want to miss out – ask me how!
Blog Hops are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next one. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links. You have come to me from the talented, Rachel Palmieri!
Now let’s get started!
For my first project, I have used my favourite suite, Cupcakes and Carousels!
Oh how I love this Designer Series Paper. It is so bright and colourful and definitely in my colours that I really love to work with. Don’t the layers look wonderful?!
The carousel is gold embossed twice. The bottom layer was directly onto the square white card and the second was die cut with the circle die. Not sure if you can see that lovely gold shine?
The cupcakes are stamped and die cut and added with dimensionals.
I cased this from a card I saw browsing Pinterest by Crafty Little Peach.
My favourite products from the annual catalogue would have to be the Papillon Potpourri stamp set. This was the very first Stampin’ Up! stamp set that I purchased in my starter kit and has always been a favourite. I’m not sure I will ever be able to give it up!
In this card, I have also used the retiring Elegant Butterfly punch, Lovely Lace TIEF, the Subtles Designer Series Paper and the Very Vanilla 1/4″ Satin Ribbon.
and those gorgeous mini pearls… they won’t be around any more either, but don’t fear, the packs have been reconfigured and will return in a different format!
This card is the same design as the one above, however, I have used the retiring Happy Hearts TIEF (this really was one of my favs!).
Don’t forget to email me at craftwithkate@live.com.au to request your copy of any Catalogue or to ask about joining the Art With Heart team.
Let’s keep this blog hop hopping. Next up we have the lovely, Judy May.

Hi Mel, I have just had a look in the online store and it looks like it has sold out! The 2015-2017 InColours DSP pack is still available and it was similar to this but I used the pack that had the Subtles colours. Here is the link to the one that is still available https://www3.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=138432&dbwsdemoid=4009501
