Stampin’ Up! Retiring Accessories List & HUGE Discounts

B1_RetiredList_Demo_May0112_USCA
It's here!  The Stampin' Up! Retiring Accessories List is now available and with an amazing savings on many of the retiring accessories products!

A couple of things to note:

  • Our Classic Ink Pads are being reconfigured to a new, higher quality firm foam pad — we are NOT discontinuing all of our pad colors! We are simply retiring the old style.
  • Stampin' Write Markers and 12×12 card stock will no longer be carried in every color as a single item, but all colors will be carried in Color Family Assortment Packs. If you have started a Stampin' Write Marker collection, I encourage you to finish up the family you're working on now so that you have all of the colors in a family without having to buy a color family and getting duplicates later on.

And while you're going through the retiring accessory list, don't forget about other "Last Chance" items!

  • Over 300 Stampin' Up! stamps sets will also be retiring and are available to purchase through May 31, 2012.  Click to view RETIRING STAMPIN' UP! STAMP LIST BY CATALOG PAGE NUMBER.
  • Don't miss your chance to pre-order new products from the Summer Smooch Collection Ends April 30. The Fabric Brads are Only While Supplies Last and will not be carried over!
  • The Occasions Mini Catalog expires April 30. Anything in this catalog is fair game for retiring. Be sure you have your favorites!

RETIRING ORDER OPTIONS:

  • Order through me by the end of April to take advantage of my own special – click HERE to view my Retiring Special.
  • Order at my Online Store at any time (but remember, accessories are ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!) and get Kriss's Online Customer Perks – click HERE to read about them!   One of the components is a FREE copy of the NEW Catalog when it becomes available! This is in addition to free stamp sets and more!

 

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun shopping!

THIS JUST IN: 
Two items that were included on the Retiring Accessories List are not actually retiring. We have updated the lists to remove these items.

208    108360    Craft Scissors
208    103579    Paper Snips

Because these items were included in error, the Paper Snips will not be offered at a discounted price.

 

ANOTHER UPDATE:
Stampin' Up! just announced that they have depleted their supply of the Summer Smooches Designer Fabric Brads and this item is no longer available.

Happy Easter – Christ Is Risen!

Have a most blessed Easter.  So sorry I didn't share these cards with you sooner, but maybe there are some of you who have waited until the last minute to make your Easter cards.  And you can also save these ideas until next year!  Be sure to purchase Easter Dove single stamp before the Occasions Mini Catalog retires on April 30th so that you can make these gorgeous cards in the future.

I took these photos of our demonstrator-created card display at Leadership Conference in January.  Sorry that two of the pictures are quite blurry, but they were gorgeous designs and I couldn't re-take the pictures!  All cards are made by Stampin' Up! demonstrators who attended Leadership; I don't have the designers' names to share.

Great idea using the Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die!

Love this folded paper cross using the Sale-A-Bration Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper – any of our beautiful designer papers will work!

Gorgeous background using Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Love the flowers from Bordering on Romance stamp set!

Very cool use of the Lattice Die!

Just adore the brayered colors and lily.

All cards use Easter Dove single stamp set, Item No. 125455 for just $6.95.

Sale-A-Bration Countdown – just 1 more day!

Here are some pictures of Sale-A-Bration cards and 3D items I took at the Leadership Conference in January.  The first couple are ideas from the Stampin' Up! home office.  Sorry for the poor quality of pictures – I didn't have the best lighting or the steadiest hands.  But at least you'll have an idea!

Outlined Occasions Stamp Set, combined with Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack

Elementary Elegance Stamp Set combined with Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack

A Cup of Thanks

I'm an absolute tea lover!  If you share my passion (maybe obsession?), my current favorites are Teavanna's blend of Jasmine Pearls & Peach Tranquility Green Tea and Mightyleaf's Organic Mint Melange.  So when Stampin' Up! came out with a set called "Tea Shoppe" it had my name all over it! 

  • Color scheme is Blushing Bride, Marina Mist and Whisper White
  • Hello Doily background stamp is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink then heat embossed using White Embossing Powder and Heat Tool
  • I used a retired Stampin' Up! craft knife to cut a slit in the top of the cup which enabled me to secure the White Baker's Twine as a string for the tea bag.
  • Love the Marina Mist 1/8"" Taffeta Ribbon on the cup handle!

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:
Item No. 125545 Tea Shoppe wood $34.95 OR
Item No. 125547 Tea Shoppe clear $27.95
Item No. 122845 Hello, Doily $17.95
