Hey Stampers! I think I'm rested up from OnStage and am ready to start sharing some of my favorite projects using retiring products. Today's share is Life Happens Coffee Helps – Coffee Café Card. This sample uses the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper and, sadly, this paper won't be carrying through to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. I know…it's so sad we're losing so many of our favorites.
But, look on the bright side! SO MANY fun new products are coming AND you still have time to order all your retiring favorites! If you missed yesterday's post, I shared the retiring products list and how to order. YOU know, the absolute BEST way to get everything on your retiring product wish list is to join my team! Not only will you save money (get an extra $25 in free product plus NO SHIPPING!); you'll become a part of the BEST team in all of Stampin' Up! Why yes, I MIGHT be a teeny bit biased! 🙂
