A Few of My Retiring Favorites, Remarkable Blog Hop

Stampin' Up releases a new annual catalog each year.  And this is good, because as crafty folk, we need new stuff to craft with. But, the catalog can only be so big for many reasons, so each year a few really lovely products need to be retired. Today, I am going to share a few of my favorites that are retiring. The good news is, you can still order them--until May 31, while supplies last.


I'm going to focus mainly on retiring stamp sets. One of my favorites, and featured here is the stamp set Big News. It has lots of sentiments in big fonts, things for babies, birthdays, and weddings.

Next, I'm featuring the back ground stamp World Map. I mean this image is amazing! You can use it in so many ways. I think it's a stamp every crafter needs on their stamp shelf.

This card also uses one of the retiring in colors, Lost Lagoon and it's coordinating ribbon and the retiring word window punch.

And lastly, the following project features one of my all time favorite stamp sets, ever. By the Tide. I am an ocean loving girl. I adore the beach. I am seriously hoping to get to live near the beach in the future. And one thing beach lovers love, are beachy themed things. And I love this stamp set.

I also must love the color Lost Lagoon as I used it here too.

Now just because these stamp sets are retiring, doesn't mean you can't have them. Get them while you can! I'll be keeping these ones in my collection.
