Since they were first introduced in Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog, the Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes have been a go-to for me when I need a quick thank you or a note to slip in a gift. Now, those note cards are going away – they went on sale yesterday, so it’s possible they’ve sold out by now. Before I learned they’d be on sale, I made a quick-and-easy personalized card with several items that are retiring. Here’s my card:
Simple, clean, classic. Don’t you think? Perfect for any Robert, Rhonda or Rachel.
Tips, Tricks and Reminders
- Retiring/Discounted Products. Demonstrators weren’t certain we’d see a discount on this year’s retiring products until an announcement was made late on Wednesday. Yesterday at 2:00 pm EST, select items were marked down (10%-, 20%-, 25%- and 30%-off) – what a great way to ensure these products get sold!Here are my recaps of the products that were marked down with this exciting promotion (some of these items have been sold out and are not updated in these reports):
Here are the retired, discounted items I used on this project:
- Inspiration & a Tiny Bow. This personalized, monogrammed card was inspired by a project I created and shared a couple of years ago (click on this picture to see the original post for this project):Long before Stampin’ Up!’s Narrow Note Cards, I made this similarly-sized place card for the Thanksgiving dinner table. Such fun! I no longer have this bow from the retired Mini Treat Bag dies, so I tied a piece of twine around the trunk of the “R.” Since I don’t have a twine that would pop here, I ran my Light Real Red Stampin’ Blend over a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine and let it dry before tying it on. How easy is that?!
- Color Combination. The primary colors in this card add to its overall simplicity. Bright yellow really pops against dark blue, so these stripes really shine here. The bright yellow also keeps the simple card from looking too patriotic (not that there’s anything wrong with that). If you like this combination of Real Red, Pineapple Punch and Night of Navy, please save this:
Papers: Whisper White Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes, 2018-2020 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Night of Navy, Thick Whisper White Inks: Light Real Red Stampin’ Blend Accessories: Large Letter Framelits Dies, White Twine, 2″ Circle punch, 2-1/4″ Circle punch, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
I hope you’ll check out the retiring list and all the price-discounted items – some really great goodies there!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hey Brian, you forgot me with your R cars
How perfect for Raylene as well as the R names you mentioned
LOL
Cool card. Thanks for sharing.
Of course, Raylene! How could I forget you? ♥ I wonder how many names I’d have to list before landing on Raylene. 🙂 Thanks so much – glad you like it!
Love this cute card, Brian. Coloring the twine is very clever! I can’t imagine my large letter dies retiring, but they must have something else in mind. Enjoy your day!
I’ve loved these dies – and I am holding on to them. They are such a great set! ♥ Thanks, Hilda!
LOVED the Narrow Note Cards……And will miss them. Your card is PERFECT!!!
You are too kind. Thanks, Kadie!
Very cool card! I forget to use the cards..thanks for reminder!
Thanks so much, Windy! ♥
So classy!
♥ Thanks, Marilyn!
So darling. I’ll await mine personalized with an M. Love that sale price on the dies!
Thanks, Mary! This is just 1/4 of the cards I made for you. The M, A and Y used different colors. Start sitting by your mailbox now…they’ll all be there soon. ♥
You picked the perfect letter – R – for retiring! A second set of large letters isn’t a bad idea since they’re on sale!
…and at a GREAT price. Thanks, Sheryl! ♥
I love this card ❤️ It is so crisp and the colors are fabulous!
Thanks, Pam! I already miss these little note cards. ♥
