Last Chance List & Sale Bargains

Time to say Goodbye to many products featured in the Jan - June mini catalogue (aka Spring Summer catalogue)... Many with discounts up to 50%...

Click on the images below to load up the UK sifted list...
Or click HERE for the original full spreadsheet... or HERE for the full pdf file...

But wait!! Ordering at these prices doesn't start until 31st May 11pm UK time (late next Tuesday night)... And then they are only available while supplies last (or till 30th June 11.45pm latest)

So... if there is something that you must have... discounted or not... then you have the opportunity to do so now before the "stocks-out world" goes mad next week!! What a good idea!

But wait!!! There is even more you need to know about come 1st June.... as it's Buy One Get One Half Off month - aka Kits BOGOHO month... see all the relevant kits here... 

2020-2021 Annual Catalogue Retiring List

It's that time of the year! Here are the retiring products that will soon not be available to order... only available until 3rd May latest - or sooner if stocks run out... 

With discounts of up to 75%... So please don't delay to order if you see a must have... as many will not make it through the day... 

Click HERE for the Online view (highly recommended as you can quickly sort for English only using the Languages drop-down list, see with images.... and quickly add to your Cart to order) 

Click HERE for the Excel list version...
And hoorah... you can sift out French, German and Dutch for the first time! Thank you Stampin Up!

Click HERE for the PDF list version...

Don't forget to add that Host Code to your orders for that extra gift from me...

And for your information...

This is the Retiring List for just the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue... the Jan-June (aka Spring Summer) Retiring List won't be published until the beginning of June...

A cautionary note - please note that the photopolymer stamps are being re-configured (as they will come with the images on an extended paper case insert rather than as a separate plastic sheet with the stamps. This way Stampin' Up! can produce stamps more efficiently and quicker to better serve our needs...) so they are all on the Retiring List (as the item code will indeed change!) Panic not... and look for the **** OR the word Re-Configured for those that carryover but that are impacted by this change!!

The new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue will be published on 4 May 2021... though my regular customers will get their copies during April... Make sure you contact me if you would like one... but aren't so regular!!

Annual Catalogue Retiring List released tonight...

Quick Newsflash - Please visit me again after 7pm UK time this evening to learn more...

Last chance to buy... and definitely a keeper for me... and many A N Other Demo! Large Letters dies... going going very soon! 

Already on Low Inventory... only available while supplies last... and definitely not available after 3rd June... 

Oh no!! Life will just not be the same for these special Concertina Cards!!

And if I could count the amount of times I am told " I wish I got those when you pointed them out to be going!!" wrt Large Numbers... Please don't make the same mistake with these fabulous and huge Large Letters...

Yes they are a considered purchase... but you won't look back with any regret...

So thought I would just share a few of the makes over the years... 

Though I reckon I could keep you here another hour (and me another 6 hours!) if I posted everything!

So I will keep it relatively brief... click on the project picture to go to the post... many with tutorials...

Double Pop Out Swing Card tutorial actually here... 

WoW ! Was this seriously 3 years ago!! And these were my first makes with these dies... Double Z Fold card Tutorial actually here... 

Yup!! I will definitely be keeping these dies! They really do make things SO special...

We're having a Retirement Party!!

Stampin' Up! staff and demonstrators around the world are partying today... 

To celebrate the longest lasting stamp set in the catalogue before it officially retires on 4th June...

But before I start! Stampin Up! have announced that there will be no Last Chance List discounts after all... and retiring product stocks are low... so please go here and order sooner rather than later if there is something retiring that you don't want to be without after all!

Yes you guessed it... we are celebrating the life of ... Lovely as a Tree...

Which has been with us in Europe since Stampin' Up! began!

So I thought I would do a round up post and share some of my Lovely as a Tree makes over the years...

Just click on the photo to go straight to the blog post for more details... some with tutorials...

So I did a quick blog search... and realised that there are 65 posts using Lovely as a Tree...

And that is only since 2016... I am not sure where the previous 8 years worth of projects are hiding!!

So I am not going to share them all... or you would be here all day!

And finally... and I am sad to report... all stocks have gone in Europe... so it is no longer available to purchase...

And an admittance... I didn't buy the set for a while... as one of my lovely very local customers had bought the set and kept lending me it! 

Needless to say the minute I used it in a class I finally bought it! And no regrets...

I have also merged the 2 lists in Excel onto one list... and removed the French and German stamp set/dies versions... and so have a slightly reduced UK only 8 page version... pictured at the end of this post... but please feel free to email me for the UK spreadsheet if you are not on my newsletter circulation...

• These are the products that are no longer available come 1st June (or earlier) when the new 2018-19 Annual Catalogue goes live...
• No items are discounted at this time… though discounts on select products may be introduced on or after 8 May...
• Everything retiring is only available while stocks last… 
• Some items go out of stock VERY quickly…
• The Stampin’ Up! web site gets VERY overloaded…so huge apologies in advance if anything should go wrong at their end even for a minute! My fingers are very crossed...

And why is the Retiring List so BIG this year!! Well for 2 simple reasons... which I am SO excited about...

(1) Colour Revamp Time!!!
Been a long time since the last full on Revamp... indeed 8 years ago in 2010... and I am doing a happy dance about it all... 13 colours going*... 27 staying... 10 brand new... and 6 returning!

* See more info on the Retiring colours below...  and more information on the other changes will be coming soon...

(2) New Ink Pads coming!!
New Style... Smaller... Easier to open & close... Stackable (YES STACKABLE!) and improved ink formulation... Oh... and an extra label to put on the inside so you can tell what colour ink you are using when you have it open... fabulous!!!

So that means every colour of ink pad and every refill and every marker pack is on the Retiring List... so if you want to fill your collection... or you must have a current but retiring colour... get them while you can!! Only available while supplies last!

And don't forget to top up your retiring cardstock too...

* Colours going are...
Regals - Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo, Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke and Rose Red
Subtles - Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette, Marina Mist and Wild Wasabi
Neutrals - Chocolate Chip
Brights - Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango
2016-18 In Colour - Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach and Emerald Envy

Note that I have highlighted some that I know my customers are going to particularly miss!!! So you may want to stock up with those ones ladies!!?

And to finish off this post... here are the pictures of the UK Only Retiring List... just click to open up and see in full page size... and/or if you are in the UK... please don't hesitate to email me to request the Excel spreadsheet... though I do recommend you visiting the Online Store instead...
