I’m so excited to announce another Clearance Rack Update. It’s so exciting when the Clearance Rack is updated because you can get more for your money. The products in the Clearance Rack are while supplies last and when they are gone, they are gone.
It’s a great opportunity to get things that you may have wanted but never purchased. Or, stock up on things you may need.
Either way, you can’t lose when you shop the Clearance Rack.
Hope you had a wonderful Easter. This year, it was a quiet Easter for my husband and me so I was able to spend part of the afternoon in my craft cave. Since I could not spend endless hours crafting, I decided to make the Incredible Like You Project Kit. That’s the beauty of using a kit, they are great when you want to make projects fast. This kit is on the Last Chance product list and is available until June 3 or while supplies last. In my opinion, the photos in the Occasions Catalog do not do the cards justice. The cards are beautiful! The laser-cut overlays add a touch of elegance. The kit contains the materials to make 16 cards (four of each design). The project kit coordinates with the Incredible Like You Stamp Set. The sentiments in the stamp set are a couple of my favorites. However, it’s easy to substitute the sentiments and use your favorite stamp sets sentiments. Additional products you may need to complete the kit per the kit instructions are Coastal Cabana and Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pads and Multipurpose Glue. Below the photos are a few added tips for assembly.
Here are a few alternative sentiments used. Plus, check out the lined envelope that is in the kit.
What’s even better, is the kit contains a reusable storage envelope.
Assembly Tips:
Separate each of the card designs and the card elements into individual stacks
Select sentiments and stamp onto the appropriate size labels
Use the Take Your Pick for removing the glue dots included with the kit (or use your own mini glue dots).
To attach the laser-cut overlays, use small dots of multipurpose adhesive glue along the overlay edges. Remember, a little of the glue goes a long way!
The project kit contains assembly instructions. Also refer to the Stampin’ Up! You Tube video to watch Tanner assemble the kit.
It was great to be able to make 16 cards quickly. They are now in the reusable storage envelope ready for use.
Remember to order your kit before it’s no longer available!

Stampin’ Up! released the retiring list today and it’s time to say Good Bye to retiring favorites. To see the list of items, click here. Be sure to act quickly as items are available while supplies last. Items such as the retiring In-Colors and ink refills are usually the first items that sell out. It’s a great time to order retiring embellishments too. A long time favorite stamp set is also retiring – Lovely As A Tree. If you don’t have this classic stamp set, you’ll want to be sure to add it to your collection.
But as all things come to an end, new will be coming our way on June 4th. While at conference this weekend, I received the catalog early and WOW – love the new products. Over the next few weeks, I’ll share some of the products that demonstrators attending were able to order early. Below is the catalog…notice all the pages that I have flagged?! Told you I love the new products and look forward to the date that I can order more items from the catalog.
Be sure to follow me on Facebook and watch my Facebook Live this week. I will be demonstrating a quick and easy Easter Treat project.
