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.  

Click here for the Annual Catalog last chance list PDF. Here's the Annual Catalog list in Excel format

Click here  for the Spring Catalog last chance list PDF. 

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.

  • Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

    Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

    First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies:

    Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

    Measurements:

    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

    The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last.

    This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.  

    Magical Meadow DSP card. Save

    Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

    Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did.

    The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

    I'll share more projects tomorrow!

  • Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

    I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

    ~~~

    Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

    I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

    I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies.

    I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

    I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

    Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use.

    Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set.

    I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

    Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?
