Retiring items on the Last Chance list & info on discontinued items & price changes

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:

  • Vanilla Envelopes & Vanilla Thick card stock
  • Vellum card stock
  • Double Oval punch – a big favorite!
  • Basic Border dies
  • Scalloped Contour dies

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.

  • Biggest Wish in a Beautiful Color Combination

    Here's a pretty card with a soft & soothing color combination made for an online swap.

    Biggest Wish Hello Save

    The colors include our new Fresh Freesia with Pool Party.  What do you think of it?  

    I featured quite a few new products on this simple card.  Here's the list:

    1. Biggest Wishes stamp set seen here.
    2. Iconic Dies for the feathers; seen here.
    3. Hello & Thanks embossing folders seen here.
    4. Pattern Party Designer Series Paper pack seen here.

    The polka dot paper is from the Pattern Party host paper pack on page 171 of your catalog.  It's can only be earned with host benefits.  It's just one of the choices in the Host Rewards but my favorite by far.  It's 48 big sheets of 12 X 12" Designer Paper.  One side is colors & patterns and the other is Black & White. 

    PATTERN PARTY 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) HOST DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save
     

    The greeting label is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies seen here.  I colored our white Pearl jewels to match with the Fresh Freesia Blends marker.

  • Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique

    I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends.  I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set. 

    Bamboo Beauty Save

    I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS.  Each one turned out totally different! 

    Bamboo Beauty Save

    I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues.  After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.  

    Bamboo Beauty Save

    My measurements for this card are as follows:

    • So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
    • Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    I hope you try this technique; it's so fun!  I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago.  Here's a link to it.
