20+ projects using retiring Stampin' Up!® products - get them while you can!


Last Chance stampin up retiring products

The Stampin’ Up!® Last Chance Sale begins today! There are lots of amazing products retiring, including – gasp! – the Stamparatus! So be sure to invest now if it’s been on your wish list – and if you already have one, make sure you’re covered for spare magnets and grid paper.

Today I am going to showcase some of my favourite Stampin’ Up!® stamp sets which are retiring. I’ve loved creating with these sets and will be sad to see them go but onwards and upwards – a new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue is just around the corner!

Last Chance stampin up retiring Friends are Like Seashells

Let’s start with a Stampin’ Up!® project I haven’t shown you get... this triple-time stamping card using the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set which is retiring. This is a fun and easy technique where you stamp all three layers in one go, for a continuous image. Read more about it, with measurements, here.

The Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set is not only retiring but now available at a staggering 60% off, so you can pick this large, versatile set up for just £10!

And here’s another project I found that I’ve never shared... a Peekaboo Treat Bag embossed using the Let’s Celebrate Embossing folders. Both of these Stampin’ Up!® products are retiring and available while supplies last. 

Now onto some older projects which I’ve dug out of the archives...

Last Chance stampin up retiring simply succulents
 

Simply Succulents: what a gorgeous stamp set this is, and perfect if you love colouring. I used it make this lovely plant pot pocket card, an old favourite that never goes out of style. And a few smaller succulents were used to decorate this little gift box, too. This fabulous stamp set is now 60% off at just £8.40. Eight pounds forty for a Stampin’ Up!® stamp set? What a bargain!

 Last Chance stampin up retiring nature's harvest


Nature’s Harvest is another favourite of mine, which I will be sad to see go. I made this card by copying a smple from the catalogue and still love it.

I love this card, too – and highly recommend you get this stamp set, as it’s now reduced by 40% and only £12.00, while supplies last. 

Last Chance stampin up retiring dragonfly garden

On a similar theme, the Dragonfly Garden stamp set is equally beautiful and I have used it so much since I held an all-day event with it for my Stampin’ Up!® customers a couple of years ago. It’s now 60% off and reduced to just £8.80.
 
Last Chance stampin up retiring Forever Fern

Sticking with the naturals, how about Forever Fern? Beautiful foliage and now 20% off at just £18.40. The coordinating Forever Flourishing dies are 20% off, too!

Here’s the same set used in a completely different colour combo for a fresh, ice cream/sorbet look. 

Last Chance stampin up retiring hand penned petals

Here are five cards made with Hand-Penned Petals, a beautiful floral set that is retiring and now available at 60% off at just £8.40. This was one of the most popular sets in the Stampin’ Up!® catalogue when it was released two years ago, alongside these In Colors™. It’s worth noting that four of these colours are also retiring this year – the one that survives is beautiful Fresh Freesia, second from right.

Here’s another project made with Hand-Penned Petals. It’s so pretty and looks gorgeous in shades of purple. Get it while you can! 

Last Chance stampin up retiring products Christmas season

How about some festive foliage? I will really miss this Christmas Season stamp set as I love pine cones (obviously!). I have used this set over and over again – it’s my go-to Christmas set!

Last Chance stampin up retiring deer punch

I used the Christmas Season stamp set on this card, too, alongside the Deer Builder Punch, which is also retiring. The punch is now 20% off at £14.40. In fact, this is a Sahara Sand card base – and Sahara Sand is going, too!

Last Chance stampin up retiring count on me

Sticking with the animal theme, how about Count on Me? A lovely Stampin’ Up!® set which I used here for some Pride Month-themed projects. The stamp set is now 20% off at £16.80.  Pssst! The Layering Diorama Dies I used here are also retiring!

Last Chance stampin up retiring products happier than happy

I love forest creatures and trees so was instantly drawn to Happier Than Happy, which I’ve used here to create a whole parliament of owls. This stamp set is now 50% off at £11.50. 

Last Chance stampin up retiring whale done

The Whale Done stamp set and coordinating Whale Punch are both retiring, too. The punch is now 50% off at just £9, while the stamp set is 40% off at £9.60. 

Last Chance stampin up retiring products cup of tea

And who could forget the Cup of Tea stamp set which I used for an all-day Stampin’ Up!® event last spring. I’ve certainly had my money’s worth out of this set! Now it’s retiring with 30% off at £15.40.

Finally, there are 11 Stampin’ Up!® core colours which are retiring this year, so you are advised to stock up while you can.

These are on top of the outgoing In Colors™, only four of which are retiring this time, as Fresh Freesia has been promoted to a Core Colour.
