Hello and welcome back to another edition of the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – if you’ve arrived from Emma at Coastal Crafter I’m sure you’ve already been wowed! If this is your first stop, what can I say but it’s a great hop today as not only are we having a look at some of our favourite items from the Retiring List but we are also offering a giveaway! More of that later on but first why not have a look at what retiring products I took for a last play.
STAMPIN’ DELIGHT TIPS & TRICKS
- The Bohemian Designer Papers were one of the most striking collections from the 2015-16 Catalogue with their bold, geometric designs in a rich colour combination of Blackberry Bliss, Island Indigo and Delightful Dijon. Using the papers on this collection of cards meant it was quick and easy to create interesting cards in a matter of moments.
- Another retiring item is the gorgeous single stamp Watercolor Thank You. It’s a great stamp that makes a really good focal point on a card and was enhanced by layering up on the Lots of Labels framelits.
- It’s also time to say goodbye to the current collection of Candy Dots – I love adding these to a card to lift up a simple card to the next level.
- I also put the retiring Tag a Bag Gift Boxes to good use to create a holder for the card collection – makes a simple but fab gift! The trick to this is to cut open the acetate cover and adhere one side to the back of the box. Neat idea right?!
So I hoped you like the project featuring some of the Retiring items …. at Stampin’ Up! we have to say goodbye to some great products to make way for lots of new lovely ones. But what to do with all my retired items ….. save some to giveaway in future?

Using the box to present shows this as a great gift – perfect for giving……..or keeping yourself!!! Good way to showcase our DSP too.
thanks Lesley … all for multiple uses for things if I can 😉
Who doesn’t love a set of cards?! – What a great use of the Tag a Bag Box! Looks great xx
Lovely set of cards Louise. Always full of inspiration and beautiful ideas.. xx
thanks Deb, glad you like them x
Loving the use of the boxes – neat trick!! I loved this stamp too, will be sad to say goodbye to it!
thanks lovely …. I will be using up the rest of my stash of boxes like this I think.
Like how you made good use of the box. Look forward to more ideas
thanks Donna …. it’s definitely good to think outside the box! lol! 😉
Love this idea and the cards using my favourite Thank you Stamp. I shall be sad to see that one go x
I know – such a great stamp to make a quick thank you card or two!
I am definitely with you on the candy dots – I only discovered them fairly recently and I love how versatile they are for adding a bit of interest, covering minor mistakes (!) and adding a bit of interest to a man’s card without being too OTT blingy. Its a sad day for sure…..
oh yes … candy dots perfect for men and mistakes! lol 🙂
These are fabulous cards Louise and I will be casing them immediately for my cards this month! I was never able to get on with this DSP, but now I’m thinking WHY NOT it’s gorgeous! It always happens, it comes to the last month & I realise I wish I’d got stuff back last June!!! Love them all!
So pleased I’ve inspired you Pip … using DSP is perfect solution when time is tight! It wasn’t one of my initial purchases but so glad I did!
Gorgeous use of the Bogemian DSP (the first one I bought from the annual catalogue last year) and a great set of quickly made CAS cards. As for the box idea – genius! If only I had the tag a bag set! Caro x
Thanks Caro, glad you like them. Still time to get it … perfect gift to give friends who don’t craft 😉
Thank you for the inspiration, sometime looking at all your pretty work help seeing items in a different light 🙂

Lovely projects and great use of the boxes. Would make a great gift. I always buy lots of DSP and sit and stroke it, adore it and then wonder how I can use it in my projects. Thanks for the inspiration! x
thanks Karen – glad you liked them and yes using DSP can be traumatic … worth it for such simple and quick cards tho. 🙂
