Where Did the Holiday Stamps Go?

Where did the Holiday Stamps go? That seems to be the question of the day. As I'm writing this post the birds are singing and the lilacs are in bloom, but everyone seems to have Christmas Crafts on their mind. Here's the scoop.

Some are Retiring. Like the Polar Party and the Perfectly Perserved stamps.
Others are still available, but not included in the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalog. See Carry Over list below.
And finally, there will be lots of sweet new holiday stamps & crafting supplies in the upcoming Holiday Catalog.

This is one little penguin that I'm going to miss. He's on the Retirement List along with his friends from Open Sleigh, Christmas Lodge, Snow Much Fun and more.

Craft an Easter Card

At the Cross Easter Card crafted with a little of this and a little of that. Bits of Scraps make the cross, oval greeting, butterfly and branch.

Robin's Card Tips

Strips of Soft Suede Card Stock were embossed with the woodgrain embossing folder (item 127821) to fashion a cross.
From a small piece of Daffodill Delight Card stock, my butterfly was cut and embossing with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit (item 118138)
And a small scrap of Wild Wasabi card stock and the Bird Builder Punch (item 117191) provide the branch.
A Bashful Blue Card front embossed with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder give a delicate textured background.

The Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp set (item 127802) comes to the rescue again with a Happy Easter Greeting. Did you know that the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp set has 24 different greetings, covering all sorts of occasions?
Just a bit of Daffodil Delight Seam binding draped over the cross and a Paper Doily (item 129399) round out my card.
