Say farewell to retiring products
The time has come to say farewell to many much loved Stampin’ Up! products that are retiring.
Today is the day that the 2019 retiring list from Stampin Up is posted! Three of my much loved favourite stamps are bidding us farewell: Lovely as a Tree, Coffee Cafe and Fabulous Flamingo. GASP! I know I was shocked too! Seriously, my life is going to be sadder without coffee and flamingos BUT i’m very excited for the new things that are coming!
What You Need To Know
Everything on THESE LISTS (click here for Annual Catalogue retiring products OR click here to see the retiring Occasions catalogue products ) is retiring from Stampin’ Up! Some items will go fast, like light-speed fast and are only available while stocks last. As I’m writing this, I’ve been told that Big Shot cutting plates and Stampin’ Trimmer Scoring blades are already gone! I told you there is urgency surrounding these lists!
Neogiating these retiring lists can be a little tricky…but I’m happy to say there are only two areas of trickiness
- If you see that a bundle is retiring, but then you don’t see that stamp set retiring, that means that the bundle is retiring, as is the bundle pricing, but the stamp set and punch, or stamp set and dies will be available individually in the next annual catalogue. You will need to buy it before 3rd June (preferrable now) to get the 10% bundle discount.
- Remember that Stampin Up is doing away with wood-mount and clear-mount stamps. Stampin’ Up!’s next catalogue will only feature cling or photopolymer stamps (unless you’re in North America. This means that some items are on the retiring list, as they are currently wood mount or clear mount, but will be in the next catalog as a cling stamp set. I was *hoping* that Stampin Up would indicate this on the lists above, but they did not.
That’s ok, it gave me an opportunity to drop what I was doing to create a carrying over list for you because I love you. 
Okay I love helping you and making your crafting experience easier.

What else you need to know
While you are placing your order, I think it only fair to tell you that in the next Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue you will see some price rises on on things like cardstocks, adhesives, tools, note cards and paper products, embossing powder, versamark and carry-over some stamp sets from the Occasions Catalogue. I recommend that you stock up on your essentials before the 2018-2019 catalogue ends on 3rd June 2019.
I also recommend taking advantage of the bundle pricing that is available on some stamps and tools. You don’t want to miss out on the 10% bundle discount when they are in the new catalogue.
What You Need To Do
Go through the retiring lists. Make a list of your must-have items and then click here to place your order. Like I said above, everything is only while supplies last. There are no backorders on these items! No rainchecks! When it’s gone, it’s gone forever!
I think that about covers everything! If you have any questions email me.
Until next time… happy creating!
