Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme of retiring products. I am excited to share another project with you today. Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of creative inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from the talented Tracy Held’s blog. Wasn’t her project amazing? Either way, you’re in the right place!
I chose to use the Painted Lavender Bundle, because I love it. Fortunately, it is not retiring, but many of my favourites will not carry over to the new catalogue. I came across this design for a trellis card and I thought it would look just lovely with the spray of lavender on it. I hope you agree.
I will miss the beautiful Go To Greetings Stamp Set when it retires soon.
SUPPLIES
Stamps: – Painted Lavender*, Go To Greetings (retiring soon)
available as a bundle with a 10% saving until the current mini catalogue ends on 30 April 2024
I hope you are inspired by my card. I’d love to know what you think. Make sure you hop all the way around and see the inspiration that everyone has shared, and don’t forget to leave a comment. We all love to get comments on our projects.
Thanks for hopping by.
Til next time,

Welcome to the eleventh (and last) series of Chain Card Swaps. At the beginning of October, Tracy Held started a fun journey with 11 other Australian demonstrators. We called it a “Chain Card Swap”. Each of us designed a card (round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE-d (Copy And Share Everything) the card and send their version on to the next person. The card made its way around until finally a version came home to the maker. We are going to have a blog hop for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution.
Here is my take on the card I received from Monique. My card is number 8 in the series. The hop should be in the order the cards evolved so that you can watch the changes. Quite fascinating!
Tools: – Lovely & Sweet dies*, Stylish Shapes Dies
Embellishments: Simply Elegant Trim
This stamp set and dies set are available as a bundle with 10% discount until 30 April 2024. Fortunately, they will be available in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue, without the discount.
I hope you are inspired by my card. I’d love to know what you think. Make sure you hop all the way around , starting with Tracy, and see the way each card has progressed in the chain, and don’t forget to leave a comment. We all love to get comments on our projects.

Here is my take on Tracy’s card. My card is number 11 in the series. The hop should be in the order the cards evolved so that you can watch the changes. Quite fascinating! This series has seen massive changes in the card as it has travelled around. So much fun to watch the transitions.
