I’m always conflicted over the Last Chance List. There are things I am so sad to see leave our lineup. (There are a few I can legitimately wish Good Riddance!) But I know this makes room for new products, and who doesn’t love new?
There’s a lot here – I’ll share my thoughts about just a few.
Seaside Wishes. I hoped we would have it one more year. This goes into my FOREVAH stash, especially with that hybrid embossing folder. Don’t wait, this one is already on low inventory.
BOHO BLUE. 😱😱😱 I mean, it’s an In Color, I knew it, but still…
This is my absolute favorite light blue. It’s that perfect tone, perfect intensity, perfect color. I can only hope it will be back someday in a Color Refresh. But not this year.
The Greetings of the Season dies are perfect year round dies. The stamps are holiday stamps, but these dies are work-horses for every day. They even come with the puka (hole) for your Linen Thread. And they’re on sale.
If Stampin’ Up! ever retires Linen Thread I will tear out my hair.
What’s breaking your heart on the Last Chance list? Do you have it? Will you order it?

You have to see this coordinating Specialty Vellum DSP in real life to truly appreciate it. The colors are luminous, and it’s a perfect compliment to the Floral Delight Suite. It’s on my “replenish asap” list!
Stamps: Delightful Wishes,Elements of Text, Ice Cream Swirl
Color Palette: Basic White, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Floral and Gingham Vellum Specialty DSP, Stampin’ Write marker, Party Dots, 3 Color Bakers Twine Pack, Masking Paper, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I masked the flower spray before I stamped the script text from Elements of Text (love love love!!!). It took me a little bit of experimenting to align the flowers and the stem, and since I designed this card as a club group project, I made a “cheat sheet”. Putting numbered dots on the block helped to sequence the images and find the top each time!
The Floral Delight Suite is a beauty, but it’s low inventory right now, so don’t wait to order it. You’ll earn credits towards your favorite Sale-a-bration choices when you add it to your cart – what’s not to love?

One of the Maui Stamper team members shared this technique with me, and I was smitten. It’s simple to do and I love the pop of color it gives on top of Crumb Cake card stock! Thanks, Brigid. 💕
Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Changing Leaves
Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Berry Burst
Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Deckle Rectangles dies, Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy and Tray, Heat Tool, White Craft Ink, Stampin’ Write Markers, paintbrush, dauber, Linen Thread, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals
There’s a lot going on here, but none of it is hard. I embossed the Spotlight on Nature flower on Crumb Cake card stock with White Craft Ink and White Embossing Powder. To get the color to pop, I used a small brush to paint inside the flowers and leaves with White Craft Ink (I didn’t dilute it). Once that dried completely, I colored on top of the White Craft Ink with Stampin’ Write markers.
I am also quite smitten (it’s an excellent word, try it) with the Greetings of the Season dies. They have a little hole in the die so you can tie on your thread or ribbon. I love how clean that little hole is!!

I’m finally feeling a little bit of Christmas! This Book Treat Box was a lot of fun to cover and embellish. Without “littles” in my house or my neighborhood, Halloween doesn’t get the attention it used to – but I confess that I filled the box with Halloween candy!
Stamps: Greetings of the Season
Color Palette: Basic White, Old Olive, Garden Green
Accessories: Book TreatBox, Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Layers of Beauty dies, Something Fancy dies, Gold Foil Paper, Season of Green and Gold DSP, Gold Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I placed the sentiment focal point on the top of the box so that it could make a “keeper” for this little tab. The tab has adhesive on it, but you would have to tear the box open to get inside. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on either end of the focal point to leave room for the tab.
Inside the box I layered a little sparkle. If you’re like me, the hardest part of something like this is figuring out which panel is on the inside and which panel is on the outside. I played around with it until I was certain, then made tiny little pencil marks on the panels that I wanted to embellish with DSP.
These adorable boxes are currently out of stock, but they’re expected back in the week of November 4. Keep an eye on the Online Store and get yours before they sell out again!

It wasn’t my original intent, but this card turned out to be quite the girly card. ALL THAT PINK!!! Sometimes I surprise myself.
Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Keeping Tabs
Color Palette: Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: 24-26 In Color Designer Series Paper, Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Greetings of the Season dies, Stampin’ Write markers, Blender Pen, Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon, Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals
My original intent was to work with the Spotlight on Nature dies to see what I could do with them. I cut a circle from Pretty in Pink DSP from the Color Family pack, then cut a white ring with a larger circle to create a frame. I stamped the floral image from the Spotlight on Nature stamps onto a white card front, then layered the DSP with the opening over the image.
I used the marker to stamp method, coloring directly onto the stamp with my Stampin’ Write markers. Instead of filling in with Stampin’ Blends, I chose to use a Blender pen. The shading is softer and allows the details from the stamped image to show.
Need your own Spotlight on Nature bundle? Those dies are pretty awesome! Shop the Online Store.
