Stampin Up's Retired Lists

Hi All,

The retired lists are now up!  Stampin Up is in process of revamping our main catalog and the mini catalog release schedule.  The new catalog will be released on June 1st.  This catalog will be smaller in size but broader in options and the new mini-catalogs will be released twice a year, omitting the 3rd catalog.
To make room for newer items in the upcoming 2012-2013 catalog there are more retired sets then ever! 
You can view the list here via a Pdf file or
Visit my online store here.

Get them before they are gone! All retired items are available while supplies last!

The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are also now available.  When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.
The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images. I will have a few on hand in the next few weeks available to anyone who would like to test drive the new pads.  In addition, please note the following about the new catalog:

• Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)
• 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered
• 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections

You can view the whole list here via PDF file or

I love Stampin Up

One of the reasons I love being an Independant Demonstrator for Stampin Up is the comadrie!  We have a forum just for Demonstrators where we get to share our ideas and help each other out.    I recently joined one group called the Late Night Stampers (which is a perfect name for me because I do most of my stamping while my family is sleeping).
If you would like to join the fun, click HERE.  If you have any questions just email me and we can chat!

 There are so many talentend ladies in this group.  Youc an check out some of their work here.
