Well the Stampin’ Up! Retired List is out. Now, I don’t have a lot of sets (compared to some of my friends), but when I got a text from Janice saying that she lost over 60 sets, I knew the list was going to be UGLY. I was right. I own 41 “current” stamp sets. I’m not counting the two Hostess sets I have, because I KNEW those would retire. Two of those are from the Occasions mini which runs thru April 30. Those may or may not appear in the new catalog. I think one of them will. That leaves 39 sets. Of those, 27 are retiring. Only 2 of the remaining 12 sets are the “old” wood mount. Here is a picture of the “carnage”. The sets with yellow tabs are retiring. Ouch…….
Here is a link to the retiring products in the online store.
I’m losing a couple of sets that I use a LOT – Sincere Salutations and Upsy Daisy. There are several sets I am sorry to see go, but they’ve been around for a long time – Crazy for Cupcakes, Baroque Motifs, Season of Joy, Serene Snowflakes and Fifth Avenue Floral. I’m also going to miss Triple Treat Flower, Dasher and Christmas Postcard from the A La Carte section of the catalog (ALL of those single stamps retired! EVERY. ONE.). We will find out on the 25th what accessories will retire. Obviously, all the Stampin’ Around wheels that go with stamp sets that retired will go. We know that the 2010-2012 In Colors (and all of the papers and embellishments containing those colors) will go. A lot of the Designer Series Papers (sometimes ALL of them) go. I’m betting we start to see some of the Big Shot embossing folders retire (like the rose that goes with Fifth Avenue Floral). And then, May 1, we should have the new catalog preview. We can order our new catalogs on May 8th. It goes live on June 1st. Since I’m not going to Convention this year (sniff!), I will probably place a nice order on the 1st of June to console myself. LOL
