I have a card to share with you today but first . . .
The Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog Retirement List will be released at 1:00 Mountain Time and I’ll be back later today with that list. All products on the retirement list will be while supplies last.
We DO know that the 2019-2021 In Colors will be retiring. Usually products in these colors sell out very FAST! If you have any of the stamp pads, don’t forget to purchase an ink refill!
2019-2021 In Colors
Bundles
More than likely ALL the bundles in the Annual Catalog will be retiring but not necessarily the products in the bundles (bundles always save you 10%). Bundles don’t usually make a return in a new catalog but there was an exception last year with the So Sentimental Bundle. So please be aware that just because a bundle is on the retiring list, it doesn’t mean that both of the products are also retiring. Usually on the last page of the list, there will be an indication if the products are carrying over into the new catalog or if the products are retiring.
Today’s card was one of the cards included in my Fine Art Floral Card Sampler several weeks ago. I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock and then added a layer of Merry Merlot cardstock and Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment was stamped in Merry Merlot ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set So Sentimental. I cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and then cut a larger shape out of Vellum cardstock using the same dies and layered it with the sentiment. I also cut the leaf die in the Perennial Petals Dies out of Vellum and attached it to the back of the sentiment with a glue dot. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment piece and adhered it to the card front. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
The So Sentimental stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly Dies can be purchased as a bundle and you’ll save 10%!

Tomorrow we’ll know which products are retiring from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. While it’s always fun to embrace the new, it’s a little sad when favorites are leaving. Stampin’ Up! will post a list of all items that will be retiring tomorrow at 1:00 pm Mountain Time. Some items will be on sale but everything will be while supplies last so don’t delay if you want something! More than likely, everything in the 2019-2021 In Colors (Seaside Spray, Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile and Purple Posy) will go fast! As I mentioned several days ago, Stampin’ Up! is expecting a shipment of Rococo Rose cardstock but no date has been determined yet.
As soon as I can access the Retiring List tomorrow, I’ll post it.
Unfortunately several days ago our Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper officially sold out. For those of you who did purchase it, my card today has one element from the paper – the butterfly which was cut out of the Designer Series Paper. If you weren’t able to grab a package of the paper the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set has six butterflies that you can color with your Stampin’ Blends or colored pencils and then they can be cut out with the Brilliant Wings Dies. If you like both of these products, you can purchase the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and you’ll save 10%!
I started with a piece of Just Jade cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White that I embossed with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. I also embossed the vertical strip with this embossing folder and layered it with Just Jade cardstock. Using the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut a piece out of Basic White and stamped the sentiment using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Just Jade ink. The scalloped square was cut out using the Layering Squares Dies and I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up. To complete the card, I added some Elegant Faceted Gems.

Today’s card is a variation of one I shared earlier this week and you can see that card here. For today’s card, I used Rococo Rose, one of our retiring In Colors. I have a very important update about this color from Stampin’ Up! (within several hours of releasing this statement, Rococo Rose cardstock did run out).
We anticipate running out of Rococo Rose Cardstock (item 150882) in the next couple days. When this item runs out, it will show as not orderable until we are able to get more inventory. Because the 2019–2021 In Color Cardstock Assortment (item 149701) includes Rococo Rose Cardstock, this item will also be not orderable for a time. We have more inventory of Rococo Rose Cardstock coming in a few weeks; however, as this is a retiring color and the inventory we receive in a few weeks will be our final shipment, both the cardstock and cardstock assortment will only be available while supplies last.
You can find today’s free tutorial below the Supply List.
