Are you dreading saying goodbye to some of your favorite Stampin’ Up! products? I know I am. The Big Shot, the Stampin’ Trimmer, countless stamp sets, rolls of ribbon, paper, colors, embossing folders and dies. The Last Chance List or as we know it The Retiring List has been out for almost a month now. Have you checked it over to make sure you won’t miss out on your favorite products?
I always hate to see items show up on the Last Chance List because that means I can’t/won’t use them in my classes anymore. That doesn’t mean I’m getting rid of them though. The Happy Birthday Thinlit is an item I will definitely hang on to. It’s so versatile for all types of birthday cards. In the photo below you can see the card that I designed for the Military Ministry at my church. This group sends out birthday cards to all those who have served or are serving in our military from our church. I head a group that makes cards for the office and various ministries at church to send out.
Most of the birthday cards I design for the Military Ministry are red, white and blue and they usually have stars on them. This way they can be for males or females. If you’re wondering where I got the stars for the card I have to tell you that they were made with a long-retired punch. Stampin’ Up! used to carry a small star punch and a large star punch and I have them both as well as retired star framelits. I will be the first to admit that I have a TON of retired items in my stash. I’m not a hoarder. There are just some items I can’t seem to part with. How about you?
Back to this Happy Birthday thinlit….do you have one? You should! It’s a must have for any craft room. Are you interested in finding out what all is still available on the Last Chance List? Head over to my online store. This is any easy way to actually see photos of the items that are going away instead of reading them on a list. Don’t miss out on those favorite items! Shop now!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
