Last Chance Products promotion starts 12/1!

2021 Last Chance Products

The Stampin’ Up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon! It’s always bittersweet when I have to mark R next to some of my favorite products — maybe even more this time, when I have loved and enjoyed so many. Of course, I’m looking forward to all the new products on their way to my house and can hardly wait to share them with you.

Meanwhile, beginning Wednesday, December 1, you can take advantage of the final fling with the Last Chance Products promotion. Grab hold of your favorite items (some with discounts up to 50%) before they’re gone for good! Here’s what you need to know:

  • Here is the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog Retiring List (products that will no longer be available once the catalog retires). Note that some bundles will be retiring (e.g., Stars are Shining bundle), but some or all products in the bundle (e.g., Stars are Shining stamp set) are not retiring. I recommend marking each individual product in your Mini so this is clear.
  • Here is the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog Carryover List (products that are not retiring; some will not be orderable until the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog).
  • All products are available while supplies last, and there are no purchase limits.
  • Discounted items can be added to a Starter Kit.
  • Discounted items can be redeemed as a 50% off item or with Stampin’ Rewards.
  • Sales period for the Last Chance Products promotion begins December 1 at 12:00 a.m. (MT) and ends January 3 at 11:50 p.m. (MT).

If you would like to combine my Eden’s Garden promotion* with this one, please use the Host Code 7YWQDRCG (that Host Code will expire Monday, December 20).

*Order the Eden’s Garden Bundle (#157832, $52.00) and Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996, $15.00), using Host Code 7YWQDRCG, and receive a FREE spool of Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon from the Annual Catalog (page 140) and two pre-cut card kits, each with color photo and instructions!  You’ll need to use your own stamps, but I’ll do the die cutting and other prep for you.  I recommend using Evening Evergreen ink to complete the cards. Please note that the Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon is currently on backorder and not expected until January 10. I will get the ribbon to you when I receive it.

The autumn mantel

If you come to stamp camp here, you may not realize that the family room fireplace is two-sided. What a novelty! The living room has a formal mantel, while this one is more casual (and actually this side didn’t have a mantel until a couple of years ago). This is what it looks like today, before I start the transition to Christmas.

There’s nothing stamped here, but it’s an insight into some of my designs. I’ve said before how difficult I find the “collage” look of stamping, yet I love to arrange the mantels and little shelves around the house. It finally dawned on me that my cardmaking challenge is because they are essentially two-dimensional. Hah!

Some of you have been reading the Heartfelt Inkspiration blog for years — I started writing about my Stampin’ Up! activities in 2009! — so you may have seen this banner from a post in 2016.

That post is gone, along with 10 years of blogging, but the banner survives! Hung on the living room mantel each fall, it sparkles in the firelight, reminding me of my blessed life.

Eden’s Garden: Hello There

This is the final card from the November camps — all projects featuring a sneak peek of the Eden’s Garden Collection. See the Eden’s Garden Collection pdf flyer here.

This background pattern has tiny gold dots, so I used a healthy dose of Gold Foil to make them pop. I cut two “sprigs” and tucked them under the floral label for even more sparkle.

I looked through all my die sets to find one to fit the front of this beautiful label; I found the perfect one in the Beautiful Trees dies.

Since using these stamps and dies in camp, I can tell that stampers are as impressed with them as I am!  In fact, while I was preparing my camp projects, I realized that it wasn’t that I was struggling to find enough ideas for the five cards, I had too many ideas!

So, I’ve tweaked my Eden’s Garden offer a bit:  Through November 30, order the Eden’s Garden Bundle (#157832, $52.00) and Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996, $15.00), using Host Code DPDJFGCP, and receive a FREE spool of Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon from the Annual Catalog (page 140) and two pre-cut card kits, each with color photo and instructions!  You’ll need to use your own stamps, but I’ll do the die cutting and other prep for you.  I recommend using Evening Evergreen ink to complete the cards. Please note that the Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon is currently on backorder and not expected until January 10. I will get the ribbon to you when I receive it.

You may know that the Last Chance Products promotion begins December 1 (more about that next week). If you wish to combine my Eden’s Garden promotion with that one, please use the Host Code 7YWQDRCG to receive the ribbon and card kits from me. That Host Code will expire Monday, December 13.

Find the Eden’s Garden collection in my online storefront here!  Remember that the Garden Gems, Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Cotton Paper, and Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper will not be in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and are only available while supplies last.

Eden’s Garden: Let’s Celebrate Everything

This card, the 4th from November camps, was inspired by Chris Smith. I had been struggling with how to use this beautiful die-cut border and somehow never thought to use it like this! I especially love the white base, which makes this card appropriate for a variety of occasions.

Instead of die cutting the floral edge directly from the card front (much room for error there!), I found it easier to cut it from a separate strip. I trimmed 3/4” from the card front, then lined up the stitching with the edge of the card front. The strip of DSP attached to the inside is 1″ wide.

After a stressful morning-plus yesterday, I am ready to take the advice of this sentiment! How about you?

Eden’s Garden: Celebrate You

I thought about skipping posting this November camp card, since it’s so similar to the one in this post. But as much as I could use the Knit Together background stamp forever, I swapped in a piece of Designer Series Paper.

I hated to cover up the reverse of this piece of Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ DSP, but my love of pattern mixing doesn’t go quite that far! Isn’t this a great substitute for Knit Together?

So, no Ever Eden paper on this card, just that beautiful, repeated floral image — on the inside of the card and envelope, too.

I don’t know how many times I have made this basic card. And to think it all started with the sample on page 57 of the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog!

Eden’s Garden: Just Saying Hello

This is the second of my five November stamp camp cards. I held off on using this particular piece of Ever Eden Specialty DSP until I saw a card by Amy Koenders for this card. My version is pretty much CASEd from hers, but I forgot to credit her in my watermark.

Tasteful Touches | This card allows the beautiful Ever Eden background paper to do most of the work!  Please click to read more! | Stampin' Up! | HeartfeltInkspiration.com | Debra Burgin

Every sheet of Ever Eden has one side with gold foil accents (in this case, that’s what makes it a specialty paper), and these little gold sprigs are beautiful against this frostiness.

At camp, some stampers were surprised to receive full-sized Gold Foil mats for the front panels. I told them I would never do that on my own cards! Like many of you, I would cut out a smaller mat or circle from the foil that would be covered by the panel over it. It’s just easier for camp to keep the pieces intact.

I used to fret over errant adhesive on foil until one of my downlines tipped me off to the miracle of a fine microfiber cloth (like you’d use to clean your glasses) rubbed on the foil. Buffed it right off!

Here I used the Gold 1/4” Shimmer Ribbon, and that was just enough sparkle.

Eden’s Garden: Sending Hugs

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing with you November stamp camp cards, five cards that fit in an Acetate Card Box (dressed up a bit with a belly band and bow).

I had such a good time designing (or copying) these cards! Not only is the Eden’s Garden set beautiful, but the Ever Eden Specialty DSP is absolutely stunning. Remember, this paper is only available while it lasts. The Eden’s Garden bundle will be in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, but not the other products in the sneak peek.

Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are two of the 2021-2023 In Colors and are featured in Ever Eden DSP. However, the striped panel at the bottom is a pattern from Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ DSP! It’s not the only pattern I used, so watch for it!

This is another example of using an embossed background on the front of a card (like this card from last week). It is an extra piece of card stock, but I like the little border (and the sturdiness of the card front).
