Today’s card was created with current bundles that are carrying over to the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. This means, they can be ordered in a bundle now for a 10% savings, but will be sold as separate stamp and die sets in the new catalog.
Because this is a color refresh year, some colors are going away, some are returning from the past, and some are brand new. Fresh Freesia has been an In Color, but is returning as a core color, and the one I used for the card base. The Fresh Freesia Cardstock is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

Glimmer Leaves
Next, I cut Fancy Flora Designer Paper into four pieces: 1 1/2″ X 1 1/2″(top right) 1 1/2″ X 3 1/8″(bottom right) 1/1/2″ X 2 5/8″(top left) and 1 1/2″ X 2 1/4″ (bottom left), and glued them, evenly spaced, on the Basic White Cardstock.
The beautiful branch of leaves was cut with an Artistic Die from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. This die is part of the Artistically Inked Bundle. You can see the entire bundle in my Product List below.
The sentiment, “thank you,” is from the Something Fancy Bundle, stamped in Orchid Oasis Ink.
For a bit more sparkle I added five Patel Adhesive Backed Sequins. Aren’t they pretty?
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
The Last Chance Products, Sale began April 4th! There are two lists, which include all of the retiring products from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Clicking the covers will take you to the lists.
The lists are extra long, because this is a “color refresh” year, so the fifteen retiring colors, and their associated products (ink pads, re-inkers, cardstock, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write Markers, ribbons, embellishments) are listed. I’ve pictured the retiring colors below. These products are usually the first to sell out, so order asap.
The discounted prices are on the right side, and will show when you order the item.
Additionally, I want to point out that there are bundles listed, but that doesn’t indicate the stamp set and dies are retiring. It means they will no longer be in a bundle with the 10% discount.
To make viewing easier, there is a plus mark at the top to enlarge the print. Also, I recommend having the catalogs in hand, because the lists are organized by page number.
