Today I'm sharing lots of information on the upcoming Annual Catalog plus the retiring items.
The new Annual Catalog goes live on May 1st. The current Annual & Spring Catalogs retire April 30th.
These retiring items are now while supplies last. Some items are discounted but the discounts do not start until April 9th.
However I wanted you to have the list beforehand because some of these products will already be gone once the list goes live. So now is your chance to get the items on your 'gotta have it' list.

I thought I'd mention a few items from the Annual catalog that I am surprised are retiring & will dearly miss:
Please remember to grab any of the In Color items that are retiring. This set of colors was a favorite of many. These could run out of stock at any time.
We all dislike seeing price increases. But like everything else these days some prices are going up in the new Annual Catalog. Costs are rising everywhere and Stampin' Up! has to raise there's to stay solvent. There are many companies that are struggling or closing and I'm happy to say that SU is still in good shape and in no danger of closing. I'm so glad they are proactive!
Below is a list of items where prices are increasing. I tell you this now so you can stock up while the prices are lower. Remember to use the host code links below when ordering.

I shared how to make this card on last week's video. It features the Naturally Gilded designer paper seen here.
This pretty paper has a white background and Silver, Gold or Copper foil patterns. You can see it in the Online Exclusives while supplies last.
I decided to do a direct to paper resist technique and change the White background to Black. You can do this technique on any foil printed designer paper. The foil resists the ink so you can wipe it off once the background is saturated.
I used a Black Memento ink pad which is water-based. You can use any water-based ink but not Stazon. Stazon ink would cover the foil patterns.
How did I do it? I had my paper laying face up and rubbed or tapped my Memento ink pad all over the specialty paper. Once you're done adding ink simply wipe the ink off the foil prints with a tissue or paper towel.
I created a free project sheet for these cards; you can download or print it here: Download Naturally Gilded Ink Resist technique
*Below is the video where I shared this technique. I also shared my new Annual Catalog products and lots of amazing swaps too. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

Last week I shared this image on Facebook. It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like.
It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April).
It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here. I feel like it makes my greetings extra special. They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)
And that is the finished card. I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.
The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here. I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has.
Here's the inside view.
Measurements are so simple! Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer.
Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.
