Butterfly Brilliance

After creating my video for my recent post on duel embossing techniques I wanted to try using the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set that I mentioned my friend Alisa Tilsner used. I wanted the colors to be brighter those so I decided on more of a rainbow look. The card on the right uses the same wet embossing technique I showed how to use in the video.

The card on the left however is slightly different as the set doesn’t have an embossing folder but instead has a matching set of dies. The set has a set of dies that will cut out all the stamped images and it also has lined butterflies. For this project I used the blending brushes the same way to create the background and then used both dies to cut out the butterflies and place them over the background. I will be honest I love how this turned out.

I created this before I found out about the retiring list, however once I found the set and dies were retiring I new I need to share it right away. I’ve included a list of the retiring items so you purchase them before it’s to late.

Retiring Samples

I’ve made a goal to share a new post each day featuring retiring product from the 2022-2023 annual catalog or the 2023 Mini Catalog. I wanted to make it easy for you to find the retiring list as it should move down as I add new posts so I have decided to keep this quick post at the top of my blog for a reference. You can also learn more about the color refresh in the post. Click here for a link to that post. Keep scrolling to see the daily samples.

As the purpose of these post are to highlight retiring product I will only be listing retiring products used along with the colors used. If you would like more information on sizes, other products used or techniques used please feel free to comment or email me at andersoncandice@hotmail.com.

I hope you enjoy these projects. Remember you can order anytime online. Please use the hostess code listed to the right. Have Stamptasic day!

Retiring List and Color Refresh

It’s that time of year again when sadly we must say good-bye to many favorite Stampin’ Up! products to make room for new ones. In addition to our traditional retiring list we will also be experiencing a color refresh. That means that we are saying good-bye to some of the current Stampin’ Up! colors, saying Hello to returning in-colors and getting the chance to experience new colors in our line.

Attached are the retiring lists for both the current catalog and the mini catalog. I encourage you to order early as items are while supplies last and colors will go quickly. Remember you can order online at candiceanderson.stampinup.net. If you order is less than $150 I encourage you to use the hostess code listed on the top right. If you are over $150 enjoy your hostess benefits. Thank you for your order. I appreciate your support.

Dual Embossing Techniques

Today I wanted to share a video where I show you how to create a similar card using two different types of embossing techniques. I’ve created the cards using a wet embossing technique called emboss resist and a dry embossing technique where the ink is applied to the embossing folder. What is cool about this technique is that I used the same process on both cards to get a different yet similar look. Which look is your favorite.

Curvy Snowman Card

I created this card to show case some of the products from the quite curvy bundle that is available now through January 4, 2021. The Quite Curvy Stamp Set and Curvy Dies will be in the Jan – Jun Mini catalog; however, if you want the Christmas stamp set that I’ve used or the paper you’ll want to make sure to get it before this promotion is over.

I’ve created a video with step by step instructions showing you how to use the dies to create your own card with this unique way of opening. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Please feel free to share your creations in the comments or on my Facebook Page.

For your convenience I’ve created a PDF of all the products needed to create this project. I’ve also include the PDF with all the information about the Quite Curvy Bundles and promotion. Remember you can order them on my website at www.candiceanderson.stampinup.net.


In the video I said that I would create a card with the piece that I cut out of the pool party. I’ve use the designers series paper ( #155969 for $11.50) from the Quite Curvy Bundle to complete the card. I’ve also created alternate samples using the Warm and Toasty stamp set from the current Holiday catalog. I’d love to know your thoughts. Please share in the comments which stamp set you prefer the Snowman or Warm and Toasty.

Additional products used:

Warm and Toasty stamp set (#152615 for $22.00) from the current Holiday catalog
Snowman Builder Punch (#150643 for $18.00)
Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon (153541 for $8.00) from the current Holiday catalog
