The Last Chance Products, Sale begins today, April 4th! There are two lists, which include all of the retiring products from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Clicking the covers will take you to the lists.
The lists are extra long, because this is a “color refresh” year, so the fifteen retiring colors, and their associated products (ink pads, re-inkers, cardstock, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write Markers, ribbons, embellishments) are listed. I’ve pictured the retiring colors below. These products are usually the first to sell out, so order asap.
The discounted prices are on the right side, and will show when you order the item.
Additionally, I want to point out that there are bundles listed, but that doesn’t indicate the stamp set and dies are retiring. It means they will no longer be in a bundle with the 10% discount.
To make viewing easier, there is a plus mark at the top to enlarge the print. Also, I recommend having the catalogs in hand, because the lists are organized by page number.
My April Host Code Gift
Place an order of $75.00 or more, before tax and shipping, and I will send you the Raindrops Embossing Folder in May.
Thank you for visiting. Have a great day!

Apr 3, 2023 | Gallery, Global Design Project, Hand-Crafted Cards |
For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE (copy and selectively edit) Ann Alexander’s beautiful card. See how our designers “cased” Ann, then join in the fun, and add your design to our gallery.
For this week’s project, I used the Blossoming Happiness Dies and Hues of Happiness Designer Paper. Beginning tomorrow (April 4), this die set will be discounted 60%, so only $12.80!
I began with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, making two cuts with a Blossoming Happiness Die. Then, I glued the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ folded at 4 1/4″.
Hues Of Happiness
Next, I cut the flowers and leaves from Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper, using Blossoming Happiness Dies. We love when Stampin’ Up! coordinates the dies with the paper! The Happiness Abounds stamp set, #159238, also has the flowers and leaves that can be cut with the dies.
After cutting, I attached the flowers and leaves with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “just for you,” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used its Sentiment Silhouettes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. This great set is carrying over to the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
The final touch was adding three Iridescent Pearls.

There has been much excitement at Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators were able to view the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, which goes “live” to customers May 2. Along with that was the Last Chance Products, which I can share with you now. The two lists include all of the retiring products from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog (click cover to view)…

The discounted prices are on the right side, but don’t go into effect until the sale begins tomorrow, April 4. Purchases will be made between now and tomorrow, so, you need to decide if you’re willing to “take a chance.”

If you like punches, you’ll love the Tropical Leaf Bundle in “online exclusives.” Yes, this leaf was cut with a punch!
I began today’s card with a slimline card base, 7″ X 8 1/2″, folded at 3 1/2″, layered with Granny Apple Green, 3 1/4″ X 8 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/8″ X 8 1/8″.
Tropical Leaf Slimline Card
Before gluing the top layer, I used a Tropical Leaf stamp to stamp the three, long stems. I also stamped “love you lots” and “XOXO” in Memento Black Ink. Then, I used a Basic Black Stampin’ Blend to give it a fine spray of black dots. I did this by flicking the brush end against the lid, but this will eventually ruin the tip of the brush. Now I have one just for this purpose.
Next, I stamped the tropical leaf in Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, and Crushed Curry on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I stamped the leaf vein with the same colors.
Cutting the leaves from the paper came next, using the Tropical Leaf Punch, a punch lover’s delight! I glued one leaf flat, and raised two on Dimensionals.
For a final touch, I added three Fine Sparkle Gems. This slimline card will fit perfectly in our Slimline Envelopes, which I’m sad to say, are retiring. You can order them today, or at a discounted price when the sale begins April 4th, as long as supplies last. You can see the entire lists of retiring products below.

When you need an Easter egg, look for an oval die. I found the perfect Easter egg in the Fabulous Frames Die Set, which I used to cut Basic White Cardstock, Subtles 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper (Soft Sea Foam), and Awash In Beauty Designer Paper (Balmy Blue). This die set is retiring, and you’ll find links to all of the retiring products below.
All of the designer paper from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog will retire in April. I regret to tell you that the Subtles 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper has already sold out.
Easter Eggs
It was fun creating a scene on the white egg, using the Spring Blessings Stamp Set. The tiny bunny was stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, fussy cut, and attached with Dimensionals. The birds were stamped in Balmy Blue Ink, colored with a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend, and the grass was stamped in Old Olive Ink. The bunny’s egg is a Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearl. The stamp set is retiring, but the pearls are carrying over.
The sprigs, tucked beneath the egg, were cut with Organic Beauty Dies from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, and Awash In Beauty Designer Paper; the dies and designer paper are retiring.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The Deckled Rectangles Dies are carrying over.
Prior to gluing, I stamped “Hoping this spring brings you many blessings” in Memento Black Ink. The sentiment is from the Spring Blessings Stamp Set, retiring, and one I have loved.

Here comes Randy the Rhino, walking along an Elegant Border. If you haven’t looked at the “online exclusives” yet, you must! Just click on my “shop” button below.
Randy was easy to stamp in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with his Rhino Ready Die.
After cutting, Randy wanted to be colored with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends, and he said not to forget about coloring his bird friend in Daffodil Delight. Then, he asked that they be placed on Dimensionals.
Randy the Rhino
Next, I prepared the Gray Granite card base to match Randy in color, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″.
Randy told me there was a perfect, Elegant Borders Die for his background, and suggested I use Awash In Beauty Designer Paper for cutting. This would give him a beautiful, bright green place for walking.
Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment, “happy for you,” in Memento Black Ink. Randy found the sentiment in the Spring Blessings Stamp Set, and said it was easy to bend, because it was a Photopolymer Stamp.
To complete the scene, Randy said I needed to add some tropical leaves, using the dies in his Rhino Ready Die Set for cutting. I used the same Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, and to add some yellow, I used Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper. Both papers are retiring in April, so Randy said you need to order while they’re still available.
