My Top Ten Retiring Stamp Sets – #1 - Tina Zinck, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi Friends! It’s time again for my annual “Top Ten Retiring Stamp Sets”! In no particular order, I’ll be sharing my favourite stamp sets that I have LOVED creating with. Remember, the products in our “Last-Chance Products Sale” are available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

#10 – “High Tide”
#9 – “Waterfront”
#8 – “Today’s Tiles”
#7 – “Good Morning Magnolia”
#6 – “Beautiful Friendship”
#5 – “Country Home”
#4 – “Grace’s Garden”
#3 – “Silhouette Scenes”
#2 – “Seaside View”

Number ONE on my favourite retiring stamp set list is….

As you may have noticed, I have an affinity for all things seaside and ocean related! Growing up in Comox (on Vancouver Island, British Columbia), I spent a LOT of time at the beach and on the water fishing with my Dad and Grandpa. Now that I live in Nova Scotia, with the ocean a mere 10-minute drive away, I still spend time at the beach (and fishing too!). So of course, I HAVE to get any stamp set that has a beach or nautical theme (which is also perfect for my scrapbook pages).

Here are some cards I’ve made using the “Seaside Notions” stamp set:

Seaside Notions with Share Sunshine COVID 19 Cards

Similar card to the ones above, using a great layout that’s quick and easy!

This is actually my favourite card made with this set! You can see how I made it, along with more samples HERE.

Have you ever made a gel card before? They are the coolest! Details for this card HERE.

So there you have it, friends! My top ten list of my favourite retiring stamp sets! I shared them in no particular order, but can you guess which of the ten sets is my absolute most favourite??? If you guessed “High Tide” you’d be correct!

This is one set that will actually stay within reach long after it’s retired because I use it a TON! While I love the lighthouse & sentiments, I use the birds most of all, on all kinds of cards and projects (and there’s nothing like these birds in the upcoming new catalogue), and I also use the grass and water stamps all the time with my other sets.
