Welcome back to my blog.

It will probably take me a little time to share everything I have from Onstage. I thought I would share some of the swaps which used retiring stamp sets first up as they will only be available until the end of May. These products are available until then from my online shop (if you live in Australia) or contact me.

TreeRingsStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019


This stunning swap was created by Melissa Gifford from Perth, Australia. I love the vibrant colours she has used. She has coloured the heart diecut stamped with the Tree Rings stamp. This stamp is retiring from the current Annual Catalogue. I also like the way she has used the Subtle Dynamic embossing folder.

TastyTreatsStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019

This cute treat bag was created by Tash Martin. She has used the stamps, dies, DSP and ribbon from the Sweetest Things Suite in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. These items will not carry over to the new catalogue.

InEverySeasonCardStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019

Yvonne Pettitt created this pretty card using the In Every Season Stamp Set which is in the current Annual Catalogue but will not be carried over. She has also used the Gingham DSP, the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder and the Pearlised Doily, all of which I love.

FloralFramesCardStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019

This beautiful card was created by Australian, Jenny Haydock using the Floral Frames Stamp set and Dies from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. I love these dies, especially with the gold, silver and copper foil. And that Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder Again. It is subtle, but it adds a sophisticated, finished look to a card layer.

FairyCelebrationCarStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019

This amazing swap was created by Lyn Verity. Sher has used the Sweet Storybook Stamps and Dies and the Fairy Celebration stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue and the Piece of Cake Stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue. Would you believe that all three are retiring at the end of May.

Lyn has gone all out with this card, using heat embossing, Shimmery Card, Wink of Stella and Frost White Shimmer Paint as well as sponging and masking. A really lovely card.

HappinessBloomsCardBagStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019

Helen S created this gorgeous carry bag, sized perfectly to hold a few cards as a gift. Helen has used the Happiness Blooms Stamp Set and DSP which is in the Occasions Catalogue. She provided printed instructions for making the bag.

PetalPassionCardStampinUpAnnetteMcMillan20042019

Nicole Clare from Melbourne created this charming card using the Petal Passion Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue which will not be available in the new catalogue. However the Crackle Paint Stamp from the Occasions Catalogue, used here with gold heat embossing, will appear in the new catalogue.

I Hope you have enjoyed seeing these swaps as much as I have.

thanks for stopping by…………till next time
