ESAD 2018 Retirement List Blog Hop

Jo's Stamping Spot - ESAD 2018 Retirement List Blog Hop


Welcome! Today I'm joining in with the ESAD 2018 Retirement List Blog Hop and we are showcasing products that will be retiring on 31st May, 2018 with the release of the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue. If you're following the hop you would have come from Jackie's site and her (always) gorgeous creations, otherwise feel free to start here and work your way around!

If you've seen the retirement list then you'll know there are so many great sets that are leaving us. I'm going to focus on two of my faves, Birthday Blooms and Happy Celebrations.

'You've Got This' Thank You

Still on to using retiring sets I have another card for you today. This is a 'Thank You' card I made for my Mum to give her nurses after her treatment just recently finished.

Petal Passion Suite Congratulations

I'm just stopping in with a quick card today. This is a 'Congratulations' card I made using the Petal Passion Suite which I am so glad is carrying over into the coming 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue!

Wood-Mount & Clear-Mount Case Inserts

Jo's Stamping Spot - Inserts for Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Write Markers, Ink Refills and Watercolor Pencils by Stampin' Up!


All of my Wood-Mount and Clear-Mount inserts are now available to download/purchase. I had intended to make them all free but this ended up being an incredibly big task taking me two weeks to complete the whole lot of them. So I hope you don't mind the small fee for the Stampin' Write Markers, Stampin' Blends and Watercolor Pencils inserts. The insert for the Classic Ink Refill bottles will remain free as long as these are not abused.

If you are kind enough to purchase any of my inserts please take the time to read the important information regarding downloads and copyright. I ask that you do not share them but instead guide people here to purchase their own. This has been quite the task and I would appreciate the support.

So, where can you find them? You'll notice along the top menu of my site a link to the inserts. All inserts are on this same page. If you have any questions prior to purchase or download please feel free to get in touch with me via email or my Facebook page.

Lastly, I hope you find the inserts useful :)

Immediately I thought masculine and I usually have a lot of trouble putting together masculine cards. However this one fell together pretty easily!

Jo's Stamping Spot - 2018 Colour Revamp Ink Refill Case Inserts


After the exciting announcement at OnStage just recently about the coming Colour Revamp with the release of the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue I have started on the mammoth task of updating all my storage. The first update is to my ink refills which I store by colour collection in our full-size Wood-Mount cases.

I find shaker cards a little bit of a challenge, they seem to mentally drain me putting all the pieces together but I think that's just me. I do love how fun they are, just not the work that goes into them!
