April Paper Pumpkin Kit

The April Paper Pumpkin Kit full of nautical themed cards, is perfect for summer.

You get materials to make 20 cards and 4 gift boxes, a really cute stamp set, Island Indigo Ink Spot, and plenty of embellishments to make this kit not only very economical, but really cute too.  Watch the video below by Stampin' Up! to see it all put together. 

If you want to subscribe you still have until May 10th to get 50% off your first two kits if you are a new subscriber.  Use Code SAVEFIFTY0418 to get the discount.  Now, you won't get the kit shown above, because the May kit will have different contents, but if you are a subscriber you can also get past kits if they are still available.  Just click the link in the upper left hand column of my blog to sign up.  If you are not happy with it you can cancel your membership at any time.

A Mother's Flair

"A Mother's Flair" stamp set is retiring and will not be in the new Annual Catalog when it comes out in June.  So if you still wish to purchase it you still have time, but don't wait too long to purchase any of your favorite retiring products before they sell out.

I started with a card base of Whisper White Card Stock and then added a layer of Basic Black Card Stock and piece of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.  I then stamped my images with Black Memento Ink, colored in the flower, and daubed some Berry Burst ink around my cut out scalloped circle and added a piece of Berry Burst Ribbon for a bit more color. 

On the inside of the card I stamped my Happy Mother's Day sentiment and I think this card is so stylish and any mom would be happy to receive it.

The following were used:

A Mother's Flair Clear-Mount Stamp Set

Clearance Rack

New items have been added to the Clearance Rack today.  Check it out while the items last.  While you are there, don't forget to check out the Last Chance items too.  These are items that are retiring and are available while supplies last as well.

With the new Color Refresh and the loss of some of your favorite colors, don't forget to stock up on refills for your ink pads, as well as the retiring coordinating card stock while it is still available. 

You can go the the Clearance Rack here and see the Last Chance Items here.

Last-Chance Products

In addition to the information about the retiring colors, as always, when a new Annual Catalog is right around the corner some products from the current product will be retiring as well.  The Last-Chance Products are listed in the link below.

You can see the items here by going to my Online Store.  Once an item is out of stock it will no longer be listed and it will not be orderable.  There are no discounts on the products yet, but depending on inventory there may be discounts on some of the items on or after May 8th.  

Color Refresh Information

I'm sorry I did not get this information posted when it came out, but I was out of the country on vacation with my family and did not have access to my computer.  So you might of already read the news on another blog or web site, but just in case you still haven't heard here is what will be happening when the new Annual Catalog comes out on June lst.  Some of the ink colors will be retiring and some new colors will be added.  If you really love some of the retiring colors, stock up now on the refills if you already have the ink pad, or if you were waiting to order the ink pad, I would suggest order one now along with at least one refill while supplies last. 

Here are the fine details on these retiring products:
