May first and before we know it, the new catalog will be here. This is the first of two blog hops for the day!
In honor of the current catalog ending, we will say farewell to some of out favorite Retiring Products. This post is all about retiring products. A few that I really liked out of several that are retiring!
I created five 4×4 cards to share. No particular order. 
From the Occasions Mini, the Nailed It bundle sold out as soon as it went on the retiring list. I just love it – so versatile and a masculine set for once! I paired it with the Sending Love Designer Series Paper.
This Stylish Stems Framelits was my favorite flower framelit, also from the Occasions Mini. The coordinating Special Reason stamp set was ok, not my favorite as the words are too small. Of course, I purchased both of them. This paired well with the (soon to retire) Pop of Pink Specialty Designers Series Paper.
Of course, the In-Colors are always sad to see leave. At least they are around for a couple of years! My favorite color was the Cucumber Crush! I used the T-shirt Builder framelits, Custom Tee Bundle, to create this. These are also from the mini. I liked the ‘Happy Stamper’ stamp. That is SO usable for us!
From the large, main catalog. The Llama. Who does not love a llama? Who? This was an awesomely cute bundle! The designer series paper was pretty cool too.
The last stamp set I’ll share is the Fresh Fruit. I loved this. It was simply sweet.
Lastly. The 12×12 Kraft card stock will no longer be available. I created (from scratch) a nifty box to hold all these cards. And, yes, the Banners Framelits, the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and the Layered Letters Alphabet will not be in the upcoming catalog either. Gorgeous Grunge? I got so much use from this set!
Whew. That’s a lot of retiring stuff! And, I didn’t even touch the tip of all the things I really loved from the 2016-2017 catalog. Not too sad though. Can’t be. Lots of new, wonderful items coming our way. If you feel compelled to need any of these or other items, please order here.
So, this is a blog hop, before heading over to talented, Mary Blocher, please leave me a comment.
What a great set of notecards! I love the box, too 🙂 And, yeah – Gorgeous Grunge is a tough one to say goodbye to! I use it so much!
Right, Danica? I thought it would have been a great seller too……oh well. Something nice will replace it I’m sure!
A great collection of retiring products here Libby. I love the Special Reason card/stamp set and in the black and yellow. So pretty! Happy May!
Thanks Crystal – I wanted to create more…..only so much time!!!
I am going to miss Gorgeous Grunge too…one of my all time favorites! Great group of note cards, something for everyone!
Thank, Lisa – I really had lots of fun creating these! I could have kept on creatin’!!!
Such a great collection of cards showing off the retiring items. I really like your box too!
Thanks! I just put the cards on my grid paper and added score lines all around. Fist attempt on this box – came out just right!!!
Libby, your last card has everything I am going to miss! TFS!
I know……but, alas – new stuff to spark our creativity!
