Retiring Accessories List Now Available...

Oh my!  Have you seen the size of the STAMPIN' UP! RETIRING ACCESSORIES LIST?  Hopefully the following will explain a little bit about why the list is so long.

Please keep in mind that the retiring products are ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.  Many items are discounted!  That means items will sell out so PLEASE DON'T WAIT!

STAMPIN' UP! RETIRING ACCESSORIES LIST BY CATALOG PAGE NUMBER

STAMPIN' UP! RETIRING DEFINITIVELY DECORATIVE LIST

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. They will be available for customer order on June 1.

In addition, please note the following changes in the new catalog, which explanation some of the products being on the retired list:

• 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.
• Any item with an asterisk next to it is being reconfigured.  An example of this could be repackaging, as in the example above of the markers.
• Craft Ink Pads (other than black or white per above) and Craft Refills will no longer be offered.
• Classic Ink Refills (other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors) will still be available.
• Stampin' Spots are being discontinued.  Stampin' Up! may possibly reconfigure & sell some of the Classic Ink Spots.
• Other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors, the Stampin' Up! colors are NOT retiring.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: 

Two items that were included on the original Retiring Accessories List are not actually retiring. We have updated the lists to remove these items.

208	108360	Craft Scissors
208	103579	Paper Snips

I am excited about the new catalog!  With all these retiring stamps and accessories, that leaves a ton of room for more great stuff!!!! :)
