I’m so excited to give you a sneak peek today of some new products that will be available to purchase from 3rd June: the Lovely You Bundle (Lovely You stamp set and Lovely Labels Pick a Punch), the Flowers for Every Season 6×6 DSP and five brand new 2020-22 In Colours.
Let’s take a closer look at these in colours. I must admit my early favourite is Misty Moonlight – it’s a softer version of Night of Navy and it looks stunning with Seaside Spray
Each of my five cards feature one of the new in colours, co-ordinated matching DSP and topped with a layered sentiment punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, which is in a bundle with the Lovely Labels stamp set.
This amazing new punch that lets you punch out 6 different styles of punch in three different widths. I used it on the Mother’s Day card I shared with you here to create a double layered mount.
Because this punch gives you the option of 2 different scalloped ends each in 3 different widths and unlimited lengths you can create perfect layered sentiments for so many of our different punches.
For card one I punched out the sentiment in Misty Moonlight at 1 inch wide and layered it onto white card stock punched out with the Timeless label punch (made longer by threading the card stock in one end at a time).
The next colour is Bumblebee, with the white card stock punched out at 1 inch wide and the top layer in Bumblebee punched out with the different end of the punch at 3/4 of an inch. Because it punches only one end of the card stock at a time I could make it long enough to fit this sentiment.
Isn’t Just Jude just gorgeous! For this tiny sentiment I used the narrowest width strip of card stock (1/2 inch) in Just Jade layered on top of the 3/4 inch width in Whisper White.
Magenta Madness is very bright but it teams so well with Melon Mambo and Blushing Bride. Here I’ve used the 3/4 inch and the 1 inch widths in the two different designs for the “just because” sentiment.
Cinnamon Cider is last but definitely not least and like the Magenta Madness card I’ve used the 3/4 inch and the 1 inch widths to punch and layer my sentiment.
The beautiful DSP I’ve used on all my cards is called Flowers For Every Season and it features all the new in colours. There are 24 different patterns in this 6×6 pack of DSP!
Tomorrow I will be featuring another stamp set that is retiring from the 2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue, but in the meantime you can view all the retiring products in my online shop.

Tonight I’m farewelling an adorable little stamp set called Little Elephant and its co-ordinating Elephant Builder punch.
Check out the teeny tiny details, such as the punch for the elephant’s ears and eyes, and the little bird stamp!
I love striped DSP but there wasn’t any in the right colours to match the baby quilt I’d made as a gift so I used my Stampin’ Up! trimmer to cut 1cm strips of Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Powder Pink and Pool Party card stock and layered them horizontally over three vertical strips of tear and tape.
Ta da…my very own custom striped DSP!
The little elephants were stamped and then punched out and layered on top of Powder Pink and Whisper White card stock that I had cut using the layering squares dies.
Did you spot the little Pool Party bird on top of the smallest elephant? And the layered elephant ear on the largest elephant? I just love these little details!
I used the same “Hello little one” sentiment stamp as the original card in the catty for the front of the card, but I’ve also added in the lovely “Welcome to the World” sentiment from the Baby Bear stamp set for the inside of the card.
And the final touch on the card is a little bow made from the Whisper White bakers twine.
Here is a photo of the card and the quilt together…I made this card two years ago now and can you believe the little baby I made it for is turning two next month! How time flies!
Tomorrow I will be giving you a sneak peek at some brand new products from the 2020-21 Annual Catalogue that will be released on June 3, but in the meantime you can view all the retiring products in my online shop.

I’ve missed a few days blogging about retiring products because I’ve been busy crafting with some brand new, yet to be released products that will be available to buy June 3 when the new annual catty goes live.
I’ll share some of these new products with you later this week but I’m going to give you a sneak peek on one of my cards today. Can you spot the new product I’ve used? I’ll let you know what it is at the end of the blog…
I’ve made two cards today farewelling the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and the Bouquet Bunch Dies – I’ve used this bundle so much. If you love flowers don’t miss getting this stamp set.
My first card I made for my mum for Mother’s Day today, using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and the Bouquet Bunch Dies, as well as the Lots Of Happy Card Kit that is also retiring.
My second card is a thank you card that features all the different blues in the Stampin; Up! colour range: Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Pacific Point, Seaside Spray and Balmy Blue.
I added at little something special to the top of my Mum’s Mother’s Day present – a couple of handmade magnolias using the Magnolia Memory Dies.
The something new I promised to share with you is an amazing new punch that lets you punch out 6 different styles of punch in infinite lengths. I’ve used it on my card here for my “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment to create a double layered mount.
Tomorrow I will be featuring another stamp set that is retiring from the 2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue, but in the meantime you can view all the retiring products in my online shop.

We’re already up to day eight of my farewell to retiring products and today we’re saying goodbye to the Verdant Garden stamp set.
I’ve made a series of cards with this stamp set that feature four of the 2019-20 in colours: Seaside Spray, Terracotta Tile, Rococo Rose and Pretty Peacock.
First cab off the rank? Seaside Spray. I’ve used the two bottom stamps in this set – they are designed to be used together to create this lovely tile effect.
Next is Terracotta Tile and Crumb Cake. Each of these cards features the same stamped design and this lovely scalloped linen ribbon in each of the In Colours.
Rococo Rose is such a soft and gentle pink – this card might be my favourite!
Pretty Peacock is last but not least and it also looks fantastic with Crumb Cake.
Here’s a closer look at all four cards. I’ve just found out that these beautiful ribbons will be carrying over to the new 2020-21 annual catalogue, which is great, but sadly the Verdant Garden stamp set will be retiring very soon.
Tomorrow I will be featuring another stamp set that is retiring from the 2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue, but in the meantime you can view all the retiring products in my online shop.

Day seven of my “Marie Condo” farewell to retiring products brings me to an inspiration stamp set that is especially great for men or for anyone who likes to cycle or watch the Tour de France…the Enjoy Life stamp set.
I love the silhouette images in this set and the sentiments are wonderful too.
I’ve made two cards today that use the cyclist image. For the first card I created a simple sponged background in Balmy Blue and Soft Sea Spray, which is all you need to create a scene, along with the grass stamp stamped at the base of the card in Old Olive.
I love this sentiment – it is just such a lovely reminder of the things we can always be grateful for, even during the strange times we are living in right now.
My second card also farewells five other retiring products, the bold and beautiful 2018-20 In Colours: Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick.
Don’t they look lovely all stamped side by side on this card?
Every day I will be featuring a stamp set that is retiring from the 2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue and thank it for its service by showcasing a card (or two) that I’ve made with the stamp set.
You can view all the retiring products in my online shop.
Would you like me to send you your very own Stampin’ Up! 2020-21 Annual Catalogue?

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card or two to farewell another retiring stamp set.
In the meantime, wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm…and keep on crafting xxx
