I have a card for you today using Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper (retiring and on sale), Fragrant Flowers stamp set (retiring), Layering Circles Dies (retiring) and Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (not retiring but on the Low Inventory List). I am so sad that Layering Circles Dies are retiring!!! They are a staple in my craft room as well as the Stitched Rectangles Dies (on sale), which are also retiring!!!
I started with a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front. Next, I cut two pieces of Night of Navy cardstock, layered them with two different designs of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Fragrant Flowers stamp set. I cut the sentiment out using the Layering Circles Dies and then cut a larger scalloped circle out of Calypso Coral cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Imagine all the possibilities with different cardstock and Designer Series Paper!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thank you so very much for all the well wishes and prayers for my mom. She survived the surgery! She’s 91 and of course, it was in the back of my mind that she might not get through the operation even though all her doctors gave her the green light! Her recovery is going well but there are a few concerns. She’s in good spirits and the hospital staff is taking good care of her. Hopefully she’ll be home next week and my sister and I will take over nursing duties.
While my mom’s surgery was going on, I looked through the catalog with the Retiring Lists and since then an updated list has come out. We’ve never had two catalogs retiring at the same time and an Online Exclusive Store, so things are a little confusing right now. I did see that someone had posted a larger print list but not with the new updates so I don’t have one for you. Demonstrators did receive some updated information so let me pass that on to you.
There were two products left off the Last Chance Products List that are retiring:
Gnomes Dies
Shimmery White cardstock
The products below will be carrying over into the new Online Exclusive category in the Online Store which means they will not be in a catalog.These products will be in the Online Exclusives category on May 2, 2023. I’ll list them and then put then put them in a Supply List so that if you need more information, you can click on the product in the table.
- Designer Tag Dies
- Mini Pocket Envelope Dies
- Nested Friends cling stamp set
- Nested Friends Dies
- Queen Bee cling stamp set (the dies are retiring and will be discounted 60% tomorrow)
- Warm Welcome photopolymer stamp set (the dies are retiring and will be discounted 60% tomorrow)
- Dry Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Base Plate & Die Plate Pack (for Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine)
- Mini Base Plate & Embossing Plates pack
- White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- Silver Foil 12″ x 12″ Specialty Pack
Usually bundles do not carry over from one catalog to the next except in rare instances. Here’s a table of bundles that ARE retiring but the individual products are NOT. If you’ve had your eye on one of these bundles, you can save 10% but only until May 1, 2023. Some of these products were offered in photopolymer AND cling. I don’t believe there’s a choice in the new catalog so whatever I’ve listed below is carrying over.
The Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Bundle was also on this list but it isn’t in the catalog and I didn’t receive information that it would be in the Online Exclusives store so I’m assuming it will be online. Update: I just saw the Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Bundle on the SU! website so it must have been an error that it’s returning.
The Stamparatus was on the Low Inventory List and now it’s on the Non Orderable List so I’m assuming it has sold out.
Here are the updated lists:
2022-2023 Annual Catalog
January April 2023 Mini Catalog
If you have a question about a product and whether it’s retiring, email me. It may take a few hours to get back to you but I will. I’ve been spending all day with my mom in the hospital but I really don’t mind if you have a question.
Tomorrow at 12:00 am Mountain Time, select retiring products will be on sale!

I do have three cards for you today, but first a recap from yesterday. The Stampin’ Up! colors below are retiring and my guess is that anything in these colors will sell out fast!
Here are the returning In Colors. I know that some of you have been purchasing from Stampin’ Up! for a while and will recognize these colors!
I haven’t had a chance yet to go through the Annual Catalog to see everything that’s retiring but I do know two of my favorites, staples in my craft room are retiring: Layering Circles Dies and Stitched Rectangles Dies (big sigh). FYI: The program I use to show these products always calls the Stitched Rectangles Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies).
On to today’s cards. These are a continuation from yesterday’s post – same layout, same products, different Designer Series Paper (if you missed yesterday’s post, you can see it here).
This first card was made using Flowers & More Designer Series Paper, (retiring), Brushed Brass Butterflies and Gorgeous Grape ink. Flowers & More Designer Series Paper is a host only product and you can choose it with Stampin’ Rewards when your order is $150 or more. With all the cards, I also used Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, Cup of Tea Stamp Set (retiring), Painted Labels Dies (retiring), and Stylish Shapes Dies.
This next card was made with Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (retiring), Petal Pink cardstock and Mint Macaron ink (retiring), I also used Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels, which are also retiring.
This last card was made with Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper (retiring), Night of Navy cardstock, Night of Navy ink and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
