Get Inked!

 I found these photos of a cute little box I made a few months ago.  I made it for a sweet girl, Elizabeth, in my church class, who turned 13.

I used mainly the Cutie Pie designer series papers.  I suspect they’ll be retiring at the end of this catalog (Aug 10th) because the adorable matching stamp set, Two Cute, is on the retirement list.

I also used the It’s Your Birthday stamp set for the saying on the tag.

Ink: Rose Red Classic Ink Pad & Marker
Paper: Cutie Pie Designer Series Paper & Rose Red, Bashful Blue Certainly Celery & So Saffron Card Stocks
Accessories: 1 1/4″, 1 3/8″ & Scallop Circle Punches, Tag & Small Tag Punches, Word Window Punch, 1/16″ Handheld Punch, Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Paper Cutter w/ Scoring Blade

I just heard from Stampin’ Up! about a new product line that we will be offering very soon!  And oh WOW!!  I am super stinkin’ excited!!!

I don’t think customers will be able to view the new items until July 1st, when they will be available to purchase.  But I plan on preordering and sharing them with you here on my blog.  Its a completely new line.

That’s all I’ll say for now.  I know, I’m such a tease. 

But let me just say, you will love this!!!

Today, Stampin’ Up! announced which stamp sets will no longer be available to purchase after August 10th!  Here they are:
