New Thinlits Dies

If you love making interactive cards, you'll LOVE these brand new Thinlits Card Dies from Stampin'Up!  They're so new they're not in any catalog yet!  Watch this video to see how quickly these thinlits can help you make a swing card.  Each set (Circle or Label) also comes with additional thinlit shapes for embellishing your card.

Stampin'Up! has also included a new die set in their Holiday Catalog called Thinlits Expressions.  It consists of three cursive words (Thankful, Love and Merry--featured on the cards below).  Tip--include a piece of waxed paper between your card stock and the thinlit to make it easier to remove.  All the thinlits (and framelits) work so well with the new Magetic Platform for the Big Shot.  The Magnetic Platform has been so popular that Stampin'Up! is not currently taking any more orders for this until they catch up with production.  It should be available for order again sometime in September.  I'll post an announcement here when they are available again.  (Purchase a new set of cutting plates for maximum performance, as it works better with a flat plate.)  I love mine!

The following cards feature the Thinlits Expressions Die (Merry).  In both examples "Merry" was cut using Whisper White card stock, embossed (1st example w/ Pewter ep; 2nd example w/ Gold ep), then attached using Tombow liquid glue (the pointy end makes it easy to apply).

In both cards Dasher (retired) was embossed with a combo of Early Espresso ep and Pewter or gold to match "Merry."









Happy Stamping!

Going, Going, Going...Don't miss out!

 There are still a few days left to order from the Occasions Mini catalog.  April 30th is the deadline, so click on the link in the right margin to check it out.

The following swing card was created using Occasions Mini products such as Twitterpated DSP, the Apothecary Art set, Labels Collection framelits, as well as Blushing Bride cs, which will retire June 1st.

 The next card uses the Mixed Bunch set from the mini, along with the coordinating Blossom Punch.  It also uses the greeting set, Short & Sweet, which is retiring from the main catalog.

Yes, the list of Retiring stamp sets and accessories has been published.  You can access it by clicking on the link in the right margin.  The flowers in the next card (from the Flower Fest set) are retiring, as well as the Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly ribbon and Blushing Bride cs.  The card, itself, was cased (copy and share everything) from fellow demonstrator, Karen Barber.

The following 2 cards were made using the retiring set, Plant Hope.  They are also inspired by a Beginner Brayer class I took with Michelle Zindorf last weekend.  She's such a great teacher!  Thanks Michelle!

So, don't miss out...place your Occasions Mini catalog orders by April 30th (that's Monday), and your retiring products order before June 1st.  But remember, the sooner, the better, because once the inventory runs out, that's it!

Happy Stamping!
