Sunday So Long... Farewell... Auf Wiedersehen... Goodbye!

Two posts for you today... almost a wedding kind of a day... as there is something old... something new... something borrowed... and something blue! Starting with the something old... and the blue... Scroll down to my earlier for the NEW... 

So I have a quick round up of some 10 retiring discounted favourites... using products now only available for less than 48 hours! 

Just click on the photos to go to the original blog post (many with Tutorials) or click on the highlighted product name to go straight to the product in the Online Store...

And I have to admit that ... having just finished this round up post... I am SO SO SAD to see these all time favourites disappear from my crafty stash for classes... but I have to admit that most will be staying in the Keep Box!!

Click here to go straight to all the discounted items in the Online Store... 

Or here for the rest of the Last Chance ( aka Retiring) products...

So first up! Used just a few times.. At Home With You stamps... and co-ordinating At Home dies

And these are just a few of my samples!! So going to miss using this one... for New Home, Christmas... and furniture in particular!

Next... my 3 Top don't miss these whilst you can! No sample pictures as they cover too much ground!!

The Envelope Punch Board... to much fun and usage of this one over the years... and I never did make many envelopes!! But I am particularly sad to see this essential tool disappear from my repertoire ( though I will keep it for making envelopes and boxes for personal use!!)

The New Colour ink pads and Markers... 

Remember we had a Colour Refresh last year? So we had a pack of just the new colours to "top up" the carryover old colours to end up with a full new collection (or four!)... and now they go!

 Great value ...particularly now they are discounted....

Then we have... Hometown Greetings dies (with co-ordinating Hearts Come Home stamps)... 

 

Far far too many projects to share in this post... but luckily I already have a round-up post for you here! All in the blues!!!

Bubble Over stamps and co-ordinating Bottles & Bubbles dies also going... such a useful set for Men & Kids alike... another tear being shed here!

Ooh... gosh... Coffee Cafe too... and co-ordinating Coffee Cups dies... 

Gulp... Detailed Floral dies! Again much used... 

Dragonfly Dreams & Detailed Dragonfly dies! Loved these for showcasing different techniques... and ending up with a spectacular card too...

Beautifully and Delightfully Detailed papers... happy to keep and use what I have left of these... as they just produce a simply stunning and special card with no faff! In seconds!

As well as a lovely Home Decor project or two!

Mixed Drinks & Bubble Over

Whilst they were still out... this happened... lighter & brighter than the original... and for any occasion...

Details as per this card here... just a switch from Tranquil Tide to Real Red...

Leffe anyone?

So whilst I was re-making this card... as the Lager card... another thought popped into the head...

As I am rather partial to a Leffe Brune... so this card is designed for me!!

Remember that Mixed Drinks (for the glasses) is on Last Chance.... only a few more days to be able to purchase...

And a personal photo share too... to show the regular Leffe glass shape that was in my head... as this was a shot of my favourite beer (though the more readily available golden variety in this shot) whilst atop some mountain in the French Alps a few years ago... happy memories!

And I skied much better after that break!

Mixed Drinks Bubble Over... The Lager card...

So I was asked for a Lager Beer based card for a late teen... so a quick re-make of this card here... brightened it all up for a younger audience... and made a happy requester...

Bear in mind Mixed Drinks (for the glasses) is very sadly retiring... so is only available while stocks last - or till 31st May latest...

Also bear in mind that Bubble Over does carryover to the new 2018-19 Annual Catalogue... but not with the bundled 10% discount for the stamps and dies that you can get now... but only till 31st May...

And an interesting twist for the lager colour... I tried quite a few of the colours and they were all too yellow - or too brown... but Crushed Curry with Sahara Sand overstamped did the trick!

Bubble Over meets Mixed Drinks again...

A lot of this may seem familiar to some of you... as basically everyone visiting wanted to do this card which has been sitting on my display for the last 3 months... so my original card "grew" as I finalised the projects for my Men in May classes

Click here for all the details on the stamped inner panel...

And the extra... just a Thick Whisper White 14.8cm square card blank (US Letter nearest equivalent 5 1/2" square) to sit the panel on...

Now that's better!!!

Happy Bubble Over 19th Birthday Card in a Box

Another of Julies Quarterly Training makes for us ... featuring the fabulous Bubble Over bundle... Bubble Over photopolymer stamps with the Bottles & Bubbles dies... plus the bright and cheerful Sale A Bration Bubbles & Fizz papers to finish it all off... 

Love that the bottles in the papers can be cut with the dies ... makes life easy!

Note that a pack of the Bubbles & Fizz papers can be yours for free with a £45 order during the Sale A Bration promotion... running until 31st March... so not long to go now...

Set on a Large Card in a Box ... for which you can find more details on Julie's blog post here.
