I have a new Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA201) for you today, designed by Nicole Watt, a member of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Virtual Community. I had a ball using many of the products from the Stampin’ Up! Retiring Stamp and Accessories lists on this gate fold style card!
Haven’t seen all that’s retiring? Here are the updated lists. Items are only available while supplies last! Sold out items are marked with an “X” on the right.
RETIRING STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCT LISTS (UPDATED)
- Retiring Stamps (Available April 21-June 4, 2014, or while supplies last)
- Retiring Accessories (Available April 21-June 4, 2014, or while supplies last)
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Here’s how my decision making for a card starts! I made some changes from when I took the photo but had a pretty good idea!
- The Sad News! Stampin’ Up! Hearts a Flutter stamp set images are retiring. I used these little darlings for my quartet of hearts and Pumpkin Pie striped flag. Be sure to order it now while supplies last.
- The Good News! The coordinating Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies that I used to crop the hearts and flag are not retiring and are simply adorable and available in the next catalog! Mark your calendar . . . the new Annual Catalog begins June 2! My Stampin’ Pretty customers receive their catalogs absolutely FREE. Learn more!
- How Easy! My simple gate fold card started with a 5 1/2″ x 8″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock. I scored at 2 1/8″ across the 5 1/2″ distance from each end (just flip and score the second side at 2 1/8″).
- The interior continues with two more crops from the Hearts a Flutter Dies. The scallop heart has the “ooh la la” factor. Yes?
- Did I mention that “sweet” and “friends” from Fabulous Phrases (one of my “Little Black Dress” stamp sets of basic sentiments) is retiring as well? Order it now if you love this classy little font and variety of words for so many occasions!
- I was inspired by the colors in this splashy bedding. I translated it to Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red.
- Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper has been a hot seller for good reason. The colors are some of Stampin’ Up!’s most popular and the patterns are “card friendly.” It’s retiring, too (boo hoo)!

Hi Mary! I was able to see this post yesterday! It is my opinion that one can never have enough heart stamps, punches, etc. Loved the card and plan on ordering the punch and stamp set. I am hoping to get them as a bundle and enjoy the bundle discount and today’s free shipping! Sue
Hi Nancy: Im hoping that they will come out with new stamps. However, theres a lot you can do with it without. Crop Designer Series Paper, stamp words and designs with other stamps and crop. Ditto on the Create a Cupcake stamp set. Its retiring but the Cupcake Builder Punch is not. A new group of stamps would be divine! M
Hi Mary, today is the day after, but yes this card was/is very pretty. I’m surprised the stamp set is retiring but not the dies. I wonder if they will come out with new designs on the stamps to fit these dies. That would be a real treat for everyone. 🙂
absolutely adore the color scheme and stamp set…best is that fabulous ORANGE
