The Last Chance/Retirement promotion begins today. There are MANY products on the list and many products are up to 60% off.  The list can be a bit confusing when reading with all of the **** next to their names.  Hopefully I can clear up the confusion:

• No * means it's retiring.  Once it's gone, it's gone.
• Two ** means one of the items in the bundle is retiring.  Example:  The Queen's Bee bundle is retiring.  The Queen Bee stamp set will still be available, but the dies are retiring (and on sale at 60% off).
• Three *** means the 10% off Bundle price is retiring, not the products.  If you want them later, you can purchase them each separately.
• Four **** means It's not retiring, but being reconfigured for the new catalog.  Example:  All of the assorted card stock packs are in this category.  With the Color Refresh, the colors in each Collection are being reconfigured.  These card stock packs each contain some retiring colors.
• Five ***** means the Stamparatus and its accessories are only available while supplies last. Any excess inventory will be moved to the Online Exclusive category after the promotion end date.  (All demonstrators are so sad to see this great tool on the Retirement list).

Let's have a Retirement Party!

Let's pool all the last chance orders into a Retirement Mystery Host Party.  We've had great fun with all of the other Mystery Host parties.  If your order is under $150, I recommend the following Mystery Host Party steps.  If you order is over $150, you will have already earned your own Stampin' Rewards (beginning at 10% of your total).  Enjoy what you have earned!

How the Mystery Host Party works:

• place your order by 2pm April 26, using host code EE3MNDSF.  This will enter your name into a random drawing of who will be chosen as the Retirement Mystery Host.
• No minimum orders needed to qualify.
• I will randomly choose a name (from those who ordered using the host code EE3MNDSF) to be the Mystery Host on my April 26 Facebook Live.
• The Mystery Host will earn all of the Stampin' Rewards ($ towards free products of their choosing) based on the total of all of the orders pooled together.
• I will pay for shipping for the Mystery Host products.
• Good luck to all!

Cut out the two words with scissors and adhere them to cute tags.

I used a bamboo skewer for this happy tag and a pot of daffodils.

A little bit of twine ties on this tag to a ribbon wrapped bunch of daffodils (one of the best things Trader Joes sells - a bunch for only $1.99).

Two perfect gifts for a hostess or a little something for a friend.

Four Past Easter Projects

Are you in need of a quick project for Easter?  I looked through my archives and found four Easter projects.  You should be able to create any of these with supplies you already have in your stash.

Easter & Spring Baskets

Triangle Carrot Boxes

Jelly Bean Box

Create a Bunny out of Circles

On Wednesday, I'm going to put together my Wreath of Blooms Kit.  All of the kits in the Kit Collection are all-inclusive, meaning you don't need any other supplies.  Let's see how I do creating it live!  

Shhhh don't tell my sister-in-law that she is getting her own Wreath of Blooms kit for her birthday.  I also think they would make lovely Mother's Day gifts.  All of the kits make great gifts because they are all-inclusive and not that complicated.

Join me live at 2pm EST on Wednesday, or watch the replay anytime.

I often get asked which products I use the most.  I look forward to discovering new favorites with the upcoming 2023/4 Annual Catalog, but I am sad to say some of my most used products are retiring.

This is my top 5 list of Retiring Products:

1. Shimmery White Card Stock, 101910.  I use this a lot with different coloring techniques.
2. Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I know I could cut any size rectangle, but I love the stitching around it.
3. Tea Boutique Bundle, 158667.  You know me, I love tea and love to create tea cards.
4. Pearl Basic Jewels, 144219 (50% off).  These match everything (and you can color them with your Blends Markers to really match everything)
5. Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, 149643 (10% off).  I love the look of a white brick textured layer on a card.

I am a silver linings type of girl.  So, stay tuned to see my top 5 things I am excited about in the new catalog.....
