Stamp with Elissa

Last Week to Purchase Retirng Stamps & Accessories

Stampin' Up! is retiring dozens of stamp sets and accessories on January 18th, most likely never to be seen again.  Plus, items from our Holiday Mini Catalog also disappear after January 18th, with only a select few making it into next year's Fall-Winter Catalog. 

If you have a wish list from your last workshop, or if you've just fallen in love with something from our Holiday Mini, please don't miss your chance to buy your favorites before they're gone!

To shop retiring stamp sets, you can browse the Alphabetical List, the List by Page Number, or the Online Ordering Page.

The retiring accessories are only available while supplies last.  Here's the current list:

Supply Lists, As Promised...

A little over a week ago, I posted photos of the three projects that we were going to be stamping at my mom's workshop on September 7th.  Although I'm running behind schedule, I didn't forget my promise to post the supply lists & instructions.  Here they are:

Heartfelt Thanks Glitter Card

• Stamps:  Heartfelt Thanks, Watercolor Vines jumbo wheel.
• Ink: Certainly Celery, Cameo Coral, Old Olive, & Ruby Red markers; Old Olive jumbo cartridge.
• Paper: Naturals White, Old Olive, & Ruby Red card stock.
• Accessories: 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Powder Pals.
• Special Instructions:  Use the two lighter-colored markers to ink the "background" portion of the flower image; use the two darker-colored markers for the "detail" portion.  Use the 2-way glue pen to apply adhesive anywhere that you want the glitter to stick to the image. 

Happy Birthday Wishes Card

• Stamps: Fun & Fast Notes, Word by Word background stamp (retired).
• Ink: Basic Brown, More Mustard.
• Paper: Naturals White, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa, Bordering Blue, & Ruby Red card stock.
• Accessories:  Watercolor Wonder Crayons, AquaPainters, Word Window punch.
• Special Instructions:  Place your background stamp rubber-side-up on the table and ink it thoroughly with your ink pad.  Place the More Mustard card stock onto the rubber surface, cover with a piece of scrap paper, and carefully rub over the whole piece to make sure that the image transfers well.  Stamp the birthday cake in Basic Brown waterproof ink, apply small scribbles of color using the Watercolor Wonder Crayons, and blend carefully with the AquaPainters.  Since I accidentally used a retired background stamp on this sample, I replaced it with the Canvas background stamp during the workshop.
   

Just B Happy 6x6 Scrapbook Page

• Stamps:  Just B.
  
• Ink:  Chocolate Chip & Really Rust.
  
• Paper:  Really Rust, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla.
  
• Accessories:  1-3/8" Square Punch, Paper Snips, Stampin' Dimensionals.
• Special Instructions:  I didn't really use any special techniques on this page, but I did design it so that it can work with a photo that is either horizontal or vertical.  During the workshop I used a vertical photo of my mom with my daughter from last Thanksgiving, and I simply turned the whole page (including the words of the title) 90 degrees.  My mother kept that page as one of her Hostess Gifts, but I'll try to borrow it and post it when I have the chance. 

Many thanks to my mom for hosting a really fabulous workshop! The best part was hanging out with my grandmother, two aunts, and some favorite family friends who I hadn't seen for a while.  It was a diverse group, but everyone got along like old friends and we all had a great time stamping.  If you're looking for a "girls night in" activity for YOUR group of family & friends, please email me to discuss dates for a class or workshop.

Happy Stamping!

Workshop Preview: Happy Birthday Wishes Card

This is a preview of one of the projects that I'll be demonstrating at my mom's workshop on Sunday.  If you're in the Detroit area and you'd like to attend, please check out all the details in my previous post.

Come back to my blog on on Saturday for one more project preview.  For those who can't make the workshop, I'll be posting the supply list & instructions for all three projects next week.

Enjoy!
