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.

  • Another way to use the Border Basics dies – cut once for two card front!


    Here's the third card I made for last week's live video; it also features the Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.  

    My colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Cherry Cobbler and White.   The flowers in this pretty designer paper are so real; you almost want to touch them.  

    You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

    The photo below shows both cards made with the same designer paper.  I loved this pattern so well I didn't change it up for the second card. 

    The greeting and hearts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  

    The pretty scalloped stitched border is made with the Border Basics dies seen here. Start with a piece of White card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and cut it in half with the scalloped die-cut.  Now you have the start for two cards! 

    Below are all three cards made with this three products, all seen on the video below.

  • Cut once for two card fronts with the Border Basics dies; video tips & tutorial too


    I shared one of the cards I made in last week's video and here's another one. Both feature the same three products: Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.  

    I used the White die-cut leftover from the card I shared yesterday on this card; basically getting two cards from one die-cut!

    The Border Basics dies are wonderful and so versatile since they die-cut the stitched edge on both sides.  Below is a photo of the inside of the card: 

    The Celebrate, Happy Birthday, stars and present die-cuts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here: 

    Here are both cards I shared; each with a different piece of the Masterfully Made CS.  As you can see I added a thin line of card stock to rest the 'Celebrate' die-cut on. I love the effect!

    You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

    The photo below shows both cards; one cut for two card front! 

    I cut the right side of the card front off (on the left card) and used that piece on the card on the right. Essentially I cut the card front in half and added it to the card on the right, adding DSP underneath to show off the angles.  One cut; two cards!  

    You can see how I made this card on the video here.  Or click on the photo below to watch. Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on my YouTube channel here.

  • Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips


    And our annual Stampin' Sale is done!  Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!  

    That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more!  I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND.  But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.  
    We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru!  They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

    Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

    The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets.  I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors.  I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies.  This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

    The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  I love these and use them often.  You can see them here.  I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card.  Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP. 

    You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

    As you can see, there is no stamping on the front.  But I did add a greeting to the inside:
