It’s time for another Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop – what fun! The Be Inspired Design Team is a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world who are excited to share our themed projects with you. I’m so honored to be a part of this group of talented stampers!
For today’s Be Inspired Blog Hop, we are creating projects inspired by … anything. I’m here for an Anything Goes Blog Hop that gives me free reign to create with old and new products in any colors. My project showcases a variety of retiring products (some are currently discounted in the Last Chance Sale).
If you aren’t starting the hop here, then you probably just popped over from the project shared by my friend Janneke Dijkstra-de Jong. Her work is always spectacular, so I trust you are in a good mood. 🙂
Congratulations
My card features THREE soon-to-retire products – two from Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog, and one from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. Here’s the card I’ve made for today’s Anything Goes Be Inspired Blog Hop:
I love ALL of the designs in this pack of papers and was thrilled with how all three of these designs came together on my card. This paper will retire on April 30 (or when supplies run out). Here’s a look at the gorgeous colors and user-friendly designs in the Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper:
The bane panel is designed with Mossy Meadow with Boho Blue accents. The band is Boho Blue, and the top panel is white with both Mossy Meadow and Boho Blue Designs. The top layer of leaves is cropped with the same design I used as the base panel (the bottom layer of leaves is cropped with Mossy Meadow for an added pop). The design gives new life to these leaves. Here’s a closer look:
The Artistic Dies were a centerpiece on the front cover of Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog and have been available in catalogs since. Such a gorgeous set of dies! These dies will retire on April 30 (or when supplies run out). The dies are currently marked 50% off – from $35 to $17.50. What a deal! The coordinating Artistically Inked stamp set has already retired. Here’s a look at the Artistic Dies:
The simple “congratulations” sentiment on my card is pulled from a not-so-simple stamp set that’s also scheduled to retire at the end of this catalog. The Filled with Happiness stamp set features some great sentiments that coordinate with the Modern Oval Punch, which is currently unavailable but will be available in the next catalog. Here’s a look at this fun stamp set:
I decorated my card with six Blooming Pearls that will continue to be available in Stampin’ Up!’s 2024 Annual Catalog. The pearls are “Garden Green” but the mix of green tones works well with Mossy Meadow.
I hope you like my project today! I hope you’ll continue the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop to see more projects by my talented friends – I know you’ll love them. The next stop is my super-talented friend, Angela Meiritz-Reid. I know you’re going to love what she’s made! Click on the banner below to continue through the hop:

Love the die cut stem in the poetic paper pattern
Thanks, Mary! I’ve always loved this die.
Your creative talent for pulling different patterns together is amazing to me. Love it! Enjoy your day!

Lovely blend of patterns…you are the master!
