The new Stampin'Up! annual catalogue is coming soon!! It will be available to customers in May and demonstrators can pre-order in April (yet another reason to join my team LOL...). But with the new catalogue also comes having to say good bye to some of my favourites. Stampin'Up has released the Last Chance items and has discounted some of them incredibly!!! Make sure you check it out. You don't want to wait as these items are while supplies last. When they are gone, they are gone :(. You can check out the Last Chance deals here. So all of the 2019-2021 In-Colors will be retiring, and these always sell out. So if you want to get some paper or reinkers or ribbon etc, get it soon. These colours are the Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Terracota Tile and Purple Posey. I LOVE all of these and are sad to see them go. I also loved the Dandelion Wishes stamp set, and it is also retiring. So I thought I would jump on and share a card I made today.
The last chance items in this card are the Dandelion Wishes and Here's a Card stamp sets, Pretty Peacock paper, the Scalloped Linen Ribbon, and the dainty diamonds 3D folder. The ladybugs will also be going when the January to June catalogue retires. Although the white embossing powder isn't retiring, with the new annual catalogue, you won't be able to buy it separately, it will come in a pack of 3. So if you use a lot of it, make sure you stock up now!!!
Just jumping on today to share with you a quick card inspired by Bruno Bertucci's Scrappy Strip Technique. You can see his video here .
I used the same technique to illustrate the new in colours...I LOVE this years in colours. ALL OF THEM!! Not sure which one is my favourite.
This card is soooo easy to make. All you do is cut a piece of Basic Black to 5 1/2 by 4 1/4. Then just take some cardstock and cut strips, you want them thicker at one end. Just glue them down, trim the ends and cut the cardstock down to 5 1/4 X 4 and glue it to a card base....easy peasy.
What do you think? What is your favourite new In Color?

Welcome to December's Stamping Symphony Blog Hop where we decided to showcase treat boxes or gift card holders. But first, can you believe the holidays are upon us already? From my family to yours, I hope you all have a healthy and safe holiday and get to enjoy time with family and friends and of course your craft room :).
So for this months project I decided to share a tri-fold gift card holder that was inspired by Rachel Tessman of Stamp your Art out. These are very simple to make, can be decorated for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries you name it, they fit into a regular size envelope and are pretty cool looking if you ask me. Here is a photo of the inside.
The gift card slides into the left side of the card where the half triangle is and you can stamp a sentiment on the bottom or leave it blank and write a note. The panel on the right is only attached at the top of the card, so it tucks under and allows the card the fold flat to fit into an envelope. Here is the outside of the card.
The DSP on this card is the Feels Like Frost DSP and I just sponged it with night of navy. Make sure to take a paper towel and rub over when finished so that you remove the ink that is left on the silver part of the DSP. The sentiment and snowflake are from the Frosted Foliage Bundle. Here are a few more variations of the same card.
This one uses in addition to the Frosted Foliage Bundle, the snowflakes from the Christmas Layers Dies.
Here is another version using the boughs from the Christmas Layers Die and a different pattern on the DSP.
And for a completely different look, here is another example using the Brightly Gleaming DSP.
For this card I used copper embossing powder, delicata copper ink refill to paint the berries and blends to cover the holly. The holly and the sentiment are from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.
For details on how to make this card, please watch my video.
Thank you for checking out my post. Please leave a comment. Please check out the list below for the materials needed to make this card. If you live in Canada and do not have a demonstrator and would like to buy the supplies to make this card, please check out this LINK. And if you would like to make the green holly card, check out this Link to Holly card supplies. Note the berries were coloured using the delicata re-inker for celestial copper. Stampin' Up! no longer has this in supply, but you could use any copper paint or could even color them green or whatever color you have.
I hope you have a very special holiday season and all the best! Please hop along to the next post and check out the neat projects from the other Stamping Symphony blog hoppers.
