Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Shaded Spruce card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to4″ x 5-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base (Oops! I forgot to photograph the inside.)
Stamped with the In the Pines stamp set:
- trees in Shaded Spruce ink onto the DSP layer
- sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto the Whisper White CS
Cut using the Pine Woods Dies:
- 3 trees from a scrap of Shaded Spruce CS
Created the envelope shaker:
- put the DSP layer in a clear medium envelope, making sure it was snugly down in one corner
- put some Sequins for Everything in the envelope in front of the DSP layer
- closed the envelope flap, folding down the envelope to the edge of the DSP layer
- folded over the extra envelope to the back and secured with Tear & Tape (Stampin’ Seal or Seal + would work well, too.)
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- envelope shaker adhered onto the front of the card base using Tear & Tape
- 3 die cut trees glued together, then adhered onto the front of the envelope using Stampin’ Seal+ (I pulled off the little strips and placed them on the back of the trees where they wouldn’t show
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Apr 15, 2019 | Catalogs, Retiring Products |
Stampin’ Up! just released the Retiring List for the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog and 2019 Occasions Catalog. If there is anything on this list you want, get it now, because these items won’t last long.
Remember that all current “bundles” are retiring, even if the individual products are carrying over to the new catalog. But this is your last chance to get both products with the 10% bundle discount!
Also, all red rubber stamps (wood or clear mount) are on the retiring list. That’s because the ones that are carrying over to the new catalog will convert to Cling. For example, the Hold On To Hope stamp set is currently offered in wood mount and clear mount. It will be in the new catalog as a cling stamp set only. It’s listed on the retiring list, even though it is carrying over, because the format will change. The wood and clear mount stamps will be sold through June 3, or while supplies last. On June 4, or when the old format stamp sets sell out, whichever comes first, the new format stamps will start going out.
All photopolymer stamps that are on the retiring lists are actually retiring, and will be available only through June 3, or while supplies last.
