Unfortunately it’s time we have to say goodbye to many products from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. and the January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue.

I just wanted to share all the information about the retiring products from the 2022-23 Annual Catalogue, and the Mini 2023 Catalogue, and details of the Color Refresh and Retiring Colors. 

To view the Last Chance List for the Annual Catalogue Click Here and the list for the Mini Catalogue Click Here. The Sale Prices start until Tuesday April 4th, and the products will be selling out fast so if there is something you really want, you may not want to wait until May 2nd.

Note that all colors listed on the Last Chance Retiring List and Products are while supplies last or until May 2nd, whichever comes first. 

Stampin’Up! Warned us that some of the products will not last long, so you may not want to wait for the markdown prices next week, so order now before it is sold out now. Some of the products are already SOLD OUT! 

Bye-Bye Colors 

The colors listed below are leaving. They will be available only while supplies last, that is, for all products in these colors, cardstock, ink, markers, and such.

Are you sad and surprised about the Retiring Colors? I think the one I’m going to really miss is Pear Pizzazz! Before we get to all the new colors.. watch this great video from Stampin’ Up!
