Retired Stampin’ Up! Items for Sale

Comments: 11

Lots of Stuff

Yep…that’s me. I have lots of retired stuff. I accumulated all that stuff because I often did not sell stamp sets and paper and ink and Big Shot items and ribbon and embellishments and tools and so on and so forth when they retired, because I always thought I might NEED them at some point in the future. I have tons of sets, many of which were never used.  I would see an adorable card someone created and I just HAD to buy the set to make it. You know what I mean. But life would get in the way, the set would never be inked up, and the card was never made. I am not proud of the fact, and it is quite embarrassing. Why did I feel the need to buy every little thing just because Stampin’ Up! makes the cutest stamps and paper? I was hesitant to air my addiction on my blog,  but I have to clear these things out. I really must sell them.  We are getting ready to sell our house, hopefully this fall, and I have to de-clutter. Plus, I encountered some pretty hefty vet bills recently.  So I would love to have my stuff become your stuff.

I have consolidated all of the retired items I currently have for sale into one easy document. Here is the link:

Retired Stampin’ Up Items for Sale

 

The list will be updated daily as items are sold. Please send an email (kimschach@msn.com) if you are interested in making a purchase. In your email, include the name of the items you are wanting to purchase and your zip code so I can calculate postage for you.

All items will be sold on a first come, first served basis, as determined by the date and time of your email. I can only mail to US addresses. I will accept both checks and PayPal, but please allow time for personal checks to clear unless you have ordered from me before or I know you.

Remember, postal rates have increased and some items, like dies are heavy. However, I will try to find the least expensive method of mailing for you.

So please…don’t judge me.  And please be patient as I respond to your emails. I hope you find that special set for which you have been looking.  Until next time…

A Summer Card for The Paper Players

Summer Card

The lovely Claire, from The Paper Players, is hosting a Summer Fun in the Water challenge this week. Claire stated she loves being by the water in the summer, and I don’t blame her.  I would love to live by an ocean, where I could walk barefoot in the sand and collect shells to my heart’s content.  My love of shells is probably why the So Many Shells stamp set called my name.  I hope you enjoy today’s summer card!

This finished card measures 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ when folded.

Who doesn’t love sparkly shells? The Sea Urchin and the Scallop were kissed with Wink of Stella, while the Large Shell received a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds. And although it may not be a traditional color palette for shells and sea urchins, I love how they look stamped in Blushing Bride, Perfect Plum and Sahara Sand.

Who’s This Handsome Dog?
Jackie in Canada
American/Canadian Champion You Don’t Know Jack

As many of you noticed, I was missing from the blog most of the month of June.  Kim, my husband, and I accompanied Jackie the Boxer on his quest to earn his Canadian Champion title.  We were fortunate enough to enlist the aid of one of Canada’s top handlers, Colin Brownlee.  If you think Colin looks familiar, you may have seen him on TV if you watch the Westminster Dog Show.

Jackie and Colin hit it off immediately.  They made a beautiful team.  Not only did Jackie earn his Champion title, he earned multiple working group placements.

Jackie Moving OutUnfortunately, we didn’t get to rest on our laurels for long.  Upon our return home, Jackie was stung by a bee, and suffered an allergic reaction.  We had two emergency trips to the vet, one at 3:00 AM. He was covered in hives, and his eyes and nose were swelling shut.  Here he is the morning after, after many of the hives had went down.  You can imagine what he looked like when I rushed him to the vet. He was one sick puppy.

Jackie with Hives

Jackie has gained back most of the four pounds he lost, but he still is not 100%.  Because the above picture is so sad looking, we’ll leave you with a happy picture.  Here he is strutting his stuff in Canada. He definitely loves to run around the show ring!
