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.

• A WOW fun fold card with Dragonfly Dreams!

  March 15, 2021

  ---

  This weekend my Flowerbug's Team held our monthly card swap & Team gathering.  Our theme was window cards and I'll be sharing them all week long!

  Check out this special Z fold card Jacki made!  

  Save

  Her colors are Terracotta Tile, Black & White and the Dandy Garden Designer paper seen here.  Did you know that the Dragonfly Punch coordinates with this Designer Paper?  She punched her dragonflies directly out of the paper!  No stamping for these at all! See the Dragonfly Garden bundle here. 

  Check out the whole suite of products here.

  This card features almost two full card bases with just a few score lines. It looks a lot harder than it is.  

  • Terracotta Tile – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Whisper White – front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside fold is 5 1/4" X 8" scored on the long edge at 4" X 6". 
  • Designer paper – 1 3/4" X 5" 

  Her 'window' in the front is 2 3/8" and the black circle on the inside fold is the same.  The White greeting circle is 2 1/8".  All of these circles are cut with the Circle dies in the Annual Catalog. 

  Steps to assemble this card:

  • You'll adhere the White front to the main card base and then cut your window. 
  • Stamp on the inside White card before adhering to the inside of the main card.
  • Add the Designer paper to the inside fold.
  • Die-cut the greeting circles and adhere together. 
  • Fold the card closed and add the circle to the inside fold 'through' the front window.  Perfect placement!

  More window cards posted tomorrow and all week long!

• Create gorgeous backgrounds with just a few common stamping items! Video tutorial!

  March 12, 2021

  ---

  On Tuesday's FB live I shared a fun and easy technique for gorgeous backgrounds.  Once you create them you can use them to create stunning, beautiful cards like these:

  This was my first try at this technique this week.  Honestly it's not a new technique at all but I hadn't done it for years! The stamp set is called Soar Confidently (seen here) and I hadn't used it yet.  I think it works wonderfully with a pretty background. 

  I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point Stampin' Write markers on an E block and spritzed with plain water.  Then 'stamp' on our Basic White CS and let dry with the block on it (this prevents warping).  Then stamp on it with any black ink.

  Here are a few more samples I shared:

  The left card above features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the right is the Floating & Fluttering set.

  See what I mean?  And it's fun too!  Each time you do it they turn out differently so it's kind of addicting!  Watch the video below to see how easy it can be.

• Gorgeous Butterflies with the Brilliant Wing dies

  March 11, 2021

  ---

  I was playing around with these dies and came up with these striking colored butterflies.   

  Save

  I used the designer paper as a template to sponge through.  This is what's left after you use the Brilliant Wings dies to cut out the 6 butterflies.  Although in hindsight I should have sponged on the other side so the die fit.  It was upside down on the die; I had to hold it up to the light to get the die placed correctly.  

  Save

  I added a piece of White CS behind these butterflies and used the Stitched with Whimsy dies to add that pretty stitched edge.  See those here. 

  Click on the image below to see these items in my store. Remember this designer paper is available through May 3rd or while supplies last.

  The greeting is from the Vine Design stamp set on a 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade card stock.
