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.

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)…

  and, the January to April 2023 Mini Catalog (click cover to view)

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, but don’t go into effect until the sale begins on April 4. Purchases will be made between now and April 4. So, you need to decide if you’re willing to “take a chance”.

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.

Enjoy, and have fun searching!
