2017 Retiring List is out!

Every year around this time, Stampin' Up publishes it's Retiring List so that those of us with a "someday list" are warned when some items will be discontinued to make way for fresh new stamping goodies on June 1st!  Even better, some of these are discounted up to 50% so you'll want to check out the list now to get the best deals before they (and time) run out.  Here some points you may want to note:

If you use a current Host Code (always check the right hand column of the blog under Next Monthly Stamp Class) I will credit the amount of your order towards the $45 minimum needed for a FREE Stamp Class or hand-stamped thank you gift! (As of today the Code is YPTTYFUW, but will change around April 15. I will send out a note then with the new code.)

• The Retiring Excel list includes the current Annual and Occasions catalogs, and is by catalog page order for easy checking.  I have a few extra catalogs available if you don't have one, just let me know.
• Any Bundle item that continues into the next catalog and is currently discounted by 10% will NOT be discounted after June 1, so order it now to get the savings.
• All printed Designer Papers and Washi tapes are retiring to make way for new ones. All Project Life items are being discontinued to make way for a new memory keeping system that will fit in with current products. 
• 12" x 12" cardstock will only be available in select colors, not the current full color ranges. 
• All retiring items will be discontinued after May 31.
• All retiring accessories and tools are available while supplies last.
• Retiring stamp sets will be produced until May 22. After that, they will be available while supplies last.
• Depending on inventory levels, additional discounts may be available on select products in May. These discounts will not be preannounced. (Stampin’ Up! will not refund the difference between retail and discounted prices.) But if you want it, get it now as it may be sold out if you wait. 

Here are some of my personal favorites that a going away. :(
