The Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog is retiring and today at 1:00 PM. (Mountain Time), Stampin’ Up! will release the list of all the products in the catalog that are retiring. Some products will be discounted but everything on the Last Chance List will be available while supplies last.
As soon as I have the list, instead of creating another blog post, I will insert it right here for you to look at so please check back later today. I like to use the list to go through my catalog, page by page, and mark everything that’s retiring but usually the list is very hard to read (extremely small print) but I will post it for those of you who would like to do this as well. I’ll also post a link that will take you directly to my Stampin’ Up! online store to the retiring products section.
Edited to Add:
You can go straight to my Stampin’ Up! Online Store HERE to see all the retiring products!
The fastest way to see what’s retiring, is to go to my Stampin’ Up! Online Store around 1:00 PM Mountain Time (sometimes they post early) to see which products we’re saying goodbye to and what’s on sale.
12:00 PM Pacific Time
1:00 PM Mountain Time
2:00 PM Central Time
3:00 PM Eastern Time
Please keep this in mind when looking at the Last Chance (retiring) List:
Many bundles will be retiring but not necessarily the products themselves. For instance, in the last catalog the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle retired but both the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and the Sunflowers Dies did not retire. If a current bundle is retiring that you like, but the products are not, grab it now so you can receive the 10% discount.
Check the last page for a “key” (I won’t see the list until 1:00 so I’m assuming there will be a key). Some products will say they are retiring but they are returning. It’s possible they are being packaged or configured in a different way.
If you want something, act quickly! Everything will be available while supplies last and I don’t want you to be disappointed that you didn’t get something you really wanted.
The retiring In Colors products will go fast! They are Misty Moonlight (sigh), Just Jade (another sigh), Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee. You can click each color below for all the products available in that color.
The new Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog will be debuting on May 3, 2022. On April 1st, I will be ordering a Stampin’ Up! catalog for all my customers. Once I receive them, I will start packaging them up to mail out. If you aren’t a current customer of mine, simply place an order at my Stampin’ Up! Online Store and I’ll send one to you too!
Demonstrators can preorder from the new catalog on April 1st. If you’d like to order new products early too, and get a discount on top of it, consider purchasing the Starter Kit for $99. You’ll then be able to choose $125 in product. For more information about the Starter Kit, please click here or feel free to contact me.
Important Shipping News
Beginning April 1, 2022, Stampin’ Up! standard shipping and handling charges will change from $6.95 or 10% of your order – whichever is greater – to $7.95 or 11% of your order – whichever is greater. If you choose to expedite your order, those costs will also increase. Stampin’ Up! hasn’t raised these costs in over a decade and in the last two years they have tried several ways to manage shipping costs without raising shipping prices but with these unprecedented times, it was simply necessary. No one, including me, likes to see a price increase but so much has changed in the last several years and everyone is feeling this ripple effect. What I do want to see is that Stampin’ Up! continues to bring us fun new products to craft with!

Quick announcement before sharing today’s card: The current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog will be retiring on May 2, 2022. This Wednesday, March 23rd, the Last Chance List will be published and will list all the retiring products from the catalog. Demonstrators will not see the list ahead of time so once I am able to get my hands on it, I’ll post it here on my blog. All retiring items will be available while supplies last.
Each year a new set of In Colors are announced so the 2020-2022 In Color products will all be retiring: cardstock, ink pads, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, etc. These products usually sell out first so if you have some of these stamp pads or want to purchase any of these colors (don’t forget ink refills) or coordinating products, my recommendation is to do it sooner rather than later. To see the products for each retiring In Color, click the color swatches below.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Balmy Blue Designer Series Paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack that was cut out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I had planned to use the Scalloped Contours Dies for this piece but the rectangle was a little too small. I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink towards the top of the rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the measuring cups and bowl in Balmy Blue ink, the rolling pin in Crumb Cake and then used the Cookin’ Dies to cut them out. I used our Silver Foil Specialty Paper to cut out the whisk, again using the Cookin’ Dies. I cut the bowl so I could slip the whisk in and once I adhered it to the card front, you couldn’t tell that it had been cut. I adhered all the pieces to the card front using Multipurpose Glue and then to finish the card, added three Elegant Faceted Gems in white.

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.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a strip of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to the top and bottom of the card front. I cut a larger strip of Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set, In Bloom, and then glued it to the card front.
I used the Pierced Blooms Dies to cut two flowers out of Highland Heather cardstock, three leaves out of Old Olive cardstock and two centers (of the flowers) out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I used Multipurpose Glue to attach the centers to each flower and then added a small, white, Elegant Faceted Gem. Mini Glue Dots were used to adhere the leaves to the flowers. I adhered one flower to the sentiment piece and added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the other before placing it on the card.
To complete my card, I added three large, white Elegant Faceted Gems to the sentiment piece.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you having any special foods today? My husband, Mark, has been curing a brisket for over a week and then he’ll be cooking it on the smoker later today. I’m not overly fond of corned beef but he’s been talking about making it for a few months now so we’ll be enjoying corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage tonight!
I have a St. Patrick’s Day Special! All orders $50 or more that use my host code 6BY7CN9F will receive a package of the beautiful Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewelsas my free gift to you! I love all the colors of blues and greens in this package of gems. Unfortunately they’ll only be around until supplies last so I’ve been purchasing them for this special!
This offer is good starting today and will end on Monday, March 21st.

The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is on sale this month as well as select bundles that are compatible with the Mini Machine. Click on any of the products below for more information. Three bundles were brought back just for this promotion: Art Gallery, Celebrate Sunflowers and Garden Wishes.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I layered a piece of Just Jade cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped Just Jade ribbon (included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two pieces and tied a knot. On a side note, I LOVE the White ribbon in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s wider than the other white ribbon in the catalog and it’s easy to tie in a knot and looks so pretty on a card. The Just Jade ribbon is also easy to tie (if it isn’t easy to tie, then I usually don’t use it).
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the piece behind the flower (“bubbles”) using the All Squared Away stamp set in Just Jade ink and then trimmed it leaving a border around the edges. I used the Floral Squares Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the piece I just trimmed. Then both of those pieces were layered onto a piece of Just Jade cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut it out using a die from the Meadows Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. If you would like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Just Jade is one of five colors that will be retiring this year (sigh). If you need cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, or an ink pad for any of these colors, I’d recommend purchasing them now. Once the retiring list is out (later this month) the products in all the retiring colors usually sell out quickly. To see the products for each color, click on each color below.
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.

Today I’m sharing a past Paper Pumpkin kit that’s currently on the Clearance Rack (not at a clearance price) BUT it’s only available for purchase to current Paper Pumpkin customers. About ten days ago I was looking around the Stampin’ Up! site and checked out the Clearance Rack. When I saw the Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin Kit, I remembered that I never made my kit (it’s from June 2021 – yikes!) so I pulled it out and created the cards.
Here’s a picture of everything you’ll receive.
I didn’t make my cards exactly as shown and used a Gorgeous Grape ink pad for one of the cards. You can see my versions below (the first one is my very favorite).
Inside each Paper Pumpkin box there are instructions in the form of pictures but Stampin’ Up! also provides a video each month. Below you’ll find the video for the Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin Past Kit.
You must be a current Paper Pumpkin customer to purchase this kit.
Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit
This month’s current Paper Pumpkin kit is called Beyond the Horizon and coordinates with the New Horizons Suite Collection. This month not just one stamp set will be included in the kit but TWO! If you’d like to purchase Beyond the Horizon, you have until March 10th to sign up!
This month’s kit contains enough elements to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs—and 9 coordinating envelopes. This all-inclusive kit includes printed card bases, die-cut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, and more!
The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit includes a Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Spot!
This kit’s stamp set is perfect for any occasion. With sentiments that say “thanks”, “hello”, “thinking of you,” and so many more, you’ll be able to use this stamp set year round.
And if you thought one stamp set was great just wait—this month’s kit comes with a BONUS stamp set for FREE! That’s two stamp sets in one kit! It’s our way of saying THANK YOU to you our Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is on sale during the month of March but once stock is depleted, the sale will be over. If you have a catalog, it’s very easy to see if a set of dies is compatible with this smaller machine. An icon will be beside the dies that says Mini! I decided to count and see how many dies would actually fit in the Mini and I have to say, I was very surprised! There are 31 in the Annual Catalog and 19 in the Mini Catalog!!
Just for the month of March, you can also save 20% on thirteen different die/stamp bundles that are compatible with the Mini and three of them were brought back just for this promotion! Click on any of the images for more information.
Place a minimum $40 order AND use my special host code EGBT4VJY by March 6th to receive at least three of my Pattern Party Card Kits. Each kit includes all the paper you’ll need to complete a beautiful card (the paper will be cut, scored, embossed and die cut for you). You’ll need to supply your own stamps, ink and adhesive. You’ll also receive a PDF Tutorial for the cards that will include pictures, instructions, measurements and a supply list.
I used Pattern Party Designer Series Paper to create all six cards. Each card is the same design but I’ve used different cardstock and ink for all six cards (you can see two of the cards in the graphic above).
Use my special Pattern Party Host Code EGBT4VJY when placing your order. If your order is $150 or more, do not use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! You’ll still receive your card kits.
Place your order on or before March 6, 2022.
The Card Kits will be mailed approximately March 14, 2022. You’ll receive an email from me once yours has been mailed and I’ll have the PDF Tutorial for you at that time
An order of $40-$49.99 will receive three card kits (before tax/shipping)
An order of $50-$99.99 will receive four card kits (before tax/shipping)
An order of $100-$149.99 will receive five card kits (before tax/shipping)
