It’s Sunday Swap Share time! Today’s card, Make a Wish, is a beautifully clean and simple one created by Lorraine Pye.
The sentiment is from the Occasions Catalogue – Life Is Grand stamp set, and the butterfly and the “splats” are from the Beauty Abounds stamp set. I love how just adding a layer of solid colour behind the main stamped portion adds drama to the card.
Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions Catalogue is in effect until June 3rd, while the Sale-a-bration Catalogue and event runs until March 31st. I know it can get a bit confusing with all the catalogues at the beginning of the new year!
Also – sad news, the Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets have SOLD OUT so they are no longer available as a Level 1 Sale-a-Bration item. Other items are still available though, and fingers crossed that the Organdy Ribbon combo pack looks like it might be available as an option around the beginning of March.
Stampin’ Up! manufactures their rubber stamps on site in Utah, so have more immediate access and control over supply and availability. The accessories are usually sourced from overseas and elsewhere, so even with forecasting, sometimes products are much more popular than anticipated and supplies are exhausted before expected. We are usually then in a backorder situation, or in some cases, Stampin’ Up! makes items unorderable until the stock can be replenished. Currently unavailable to order: the cake builder punch, the butterfly duet punch and the Organdy Ribbon combo pack. This also affects the bundles that include those punches. Once stock is replenished, we will be notified and those items will be available once again to order. I’ll keep you posted!
In the meantime, though, I’ll also work to keep you inspired with ALL the other products that are still available – through the YamStamps blog, the Facebook Page plus the Facebook Group and the Instagram account. Don’t forget that if you’re subscribed to the YamStamps mailing list, you’ll receive projects and instructions that are exclusive to that list! Lots of inspiration to be found. Happy creating!
