We are now in the start of transition from the current Annual Catalogue to the new. The new Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue will be going live on the 3rd May. Sadly that means that a number of products from the current catalogue will be leaving us to make room for lots of new . But there’s still one last chance for you to get them while supplies last. With some items, you can save up to 50% off right HERE!
As part of this transition we will also say goodbye to the 2020-22 In-Color collection:
So I decided to make a a bunch of thank you cards for my customers ordering any Last Chance products this month
Watercolor Shapes Slimline thank you cards
So my Facebook live today was all about paying homage & thanks to the retiring In-Colors. You can see the replay HERE
I wanted to use a couple of the stamp sets which are carrying forward into the new Catalogue. Watercolor Wishes and Flowers of Friendship which I though would work well with these colours.
The Slimline card has been made slightly narrower than the standard so they will fit the pretty Slimline Envelops.
How to make these Watercolor Shapes Slimline thank you cards

Watercolor Shapes Slimline thank you cards – Alternatives
These cards are super simple to make, but I wanted to mix up the retiring In-Colors with some coordinating colours.
How about Rectangles?
Or even Squares?

Very artistic and creative!
Love them all but my favourite? Mmm, I’ll go with the blue and green rectangles. Thank you Sara for taking part in our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month.
Fun cards! I prefer the blue and green squares, too. Those are my colours! I considered buying those stamps… maybe I should – I still have time!
Ummm. Rectangles, not squares. I seem to be having senior moments this evening!
Very unusual! Way to think out of the box!
Great use of the stamp set
