It’s sad to see them go, I know. In order to make room for all the new products
coming in June, hundreds of stamp sets, accessories, and scrapbooking supplies are
retiring! These last-chance items are only available until June 3rd or while
supplies last, so SHOP ONLINE early for the best selection. Don’t forget to enter hostess code 4MTZQMFM to be entered in the draw for your share of free product!

If you prefer to download and/or print the retired stamp set list, I have PDF version
for you. The accessories go quickly so I recommend shopping online for the best
selection.

Happy crafting!

Do you love using paper rosettes in your craft projects? Are you ever frustrated with how long it takes to cut, score, and fold the rosette properly? Try Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Rosette die and make rosettes for your next project in a flash. Here Emily Montoya from the Stampin’ Up! home office shows us how to use the Designer Rosette Bigz XL Die (#125594) to create a stunning bridal scrapbook page.

New This and That Product Line by Stampin’ Up!

Q&A

Q: The new This and That journals look cool. In what ways are people using them?

A: Our latest This and That product line is based on a growing trend of smash books. They go back to the roots of scrapbooking when people created memory books filled with photos and mementos. Today’s scrapbooks can truly be a work of art to be cherished as a family heirloom, but some scrapbookers prefer to go back to a simpler and faster way of capturing what is happening in their lives. So, are you still wondering what it’s all about?

• Do you remember doodling in your school notebook? It’s like that!
• Have you ever created an Imagery Board for your wall or collages of magazine pictures that you like or places you want to go? It’s like that!
• Have you ever had a journal you kept in the past and stopped because you just wanted to add a journal entry when you felt inspired instead of chronologically? It’s like that!
• Have you ever collected ideas and inspiration from several different sources for a school project, a home renovation, a wedding, a party, or maybe a garden? It’s like that!
• Ever wanted to have a place to add your favourite quotes when you hear them? It’s like that!
• Need a place to collect all your love notes, recipes, or funny quotes from your kids? Yeah, it’s like that, too!

I could go on and on because, as with most crafting products, the only limitation for using This and That journals is your imagination! But, I will leave you with this last idea – basically, it’s Pinterest on paper. 

As you can tell, this would be a great product for teens, Tweens, mothers, planners, would-be artists, collectors of pretty things … the list goes on and on. Take a look at this video and then give it a try and see what inspires you!

I am excited to see these in person. Can I be so bold to say that perhaps it will keep things tidier in my studio? Only time will tell.

Available May 31.

Order this and other new products at www.tanyastamps.com/order on May 31.  Want to reserve a copy of the new catalogue?  Just let me know.

By request I’ve created a chart to show the availability of all the products (ink, markers, reinkers, card stock, ribbon) in the 10 discontinued colours.  I will update this, but make no promises about how often I will do that.  If you do try to order something and it’s no longer available, would you do me a favour and send me a message to let me know?
