However it's an exciting day as Stampin Up! have released their list of retiring products & accessories from the 2012-2013 annual catalogue - check out my left hand side bar for the PDF lists (one for stamp sets, one for accessories) & see below for more info on how to grab your favourites - some of them are discounted! - whilst stocks last!
Today's project it super cute, quick & easy - just right for a Friday :)
I made this little gift as a thank you for my friend Nicky; she had done me some favours for which I was very grateful! I simply cut a piece of cardstock and some retired Sale-a-bration paper and measured the post it note pad twice plus a bit, scored it twice where the pad joins together, glued the paper to the card and then folded the ensemble around the pad using the last post it note to secure the pad to the card.
The hand made flower was made with lots of blossom punched pieces - I was making this in the evening and didn't realise I had chosen two totally different shades of blue card ;) I punched out approx 10 shapes with the blossom punch (125603 £15.50) and then continually wrapped them around each other building up the flower as I went.
The little tag sentiments are from the newly retiring Tiny Tags stamp set - one of my all time favourites! I finished off with one of the large 8mm basic rhinestones 129324 £4.50 for 40) in the centre for a bit of bling :)
