This is my second post today – if you missed my Global Design Project tribute to Lemon Lime Twist, please check it out here.
UPDATE
The lists that Stampin’ Up! put out earlier today and the items that are marked as “retiring” in the online store include the following:
- all bundles (all bundled products are retiring – even when the stamps or dies carry forward)
- retiring stamps and products (we have to make room for new products)
- all wood mount stamps (all wood mounts stamps are retiring)
- all clear mount stamps (even those that are carrying forward into the new catalog) because all clear-mount stamp sets will be offered as cling-mount stamps in the new catalog
Here’s a list of all the clear mount stamp sets that are carrying forward into Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog as cling-mount stamps (even though they show as “retired” in the online store):

It’s a fact of life that we have to let go of some things we love to make room for other things we love. No one has unlimited space. While some of you have HUGE, well-organized craft rooms (I have gasped in awe at some of them), each one has a limit before the floor gives in and punctures the Earth beneath.
As we are introduced to all the new and exciting products that are headed our way in Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog, we have to say, “Farewell, friend” to lots of products we love. Stampin’ Up!’s warehouse and picking lines are big, but we want to help them clear up space to make room for the new supplies that are coming in. In that effort, Stampin’ Up! has released the Retiring List of products that will be retiring on June 3 – or when they are sold out. When they are sold out, they are gone forever, so don’t miss out!
Although Stampin’ Up! won’t be selling these products after they are sold out, the items have value to you and will last forever (…or a really long time, depending on how much you use them). To review all of the items that are retiring, click on the image below:
Here are some other ways to review the items in my online store:
- All the Retiring Stamps
- All the Retiring Bundles (remember: all bundles retire, but that doesn’t mean that all the products in these bundles are retiring. Some stamp sets and coordinating dies will carry over but will not be offered as Bundles in the new catalog)
- Everything Else that’s Retiring
You can see the complete list of everything that’s retiring here:

HIGHLIGHTS (while supplies last)
Don’t have time to read through the entire list right now? Here’s a look at some of my favorites that are retiring on June 3 (or when supplies run out):
ALL BUNDLES
Even when stamp sets and dies that are part of a bundle carry forward into the new catalog, the 10%-off bundled pricing for the combination goes away. This is the last chance to grab up some great bundles while the discount is still there. Click below to review all the current bundles in my online store:
WOOD-MOUNT STAMPS (while supplies last)
In Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Occasions Catalog, the company changed the options for red rubber stamps – instead of wood-mount (mounts on an included wood block) and clear-mount (mounts on a clear block you buy separately), red rubber stamps are now offered in cling-mount (clear-mount stamps with a sticky label).
When the 2019 Annual Catalog rolls out, you’ll see wood-mount stamps removed – with one exception. The five background stamps in the 2019 Annual Catalog include a wood-mount option.
If you are a wood-mount stamper or want some of your favorites in wood-mount before they go away, order up now so you don’t miss out before they are gone.
WHILE YOU’RE AT IT…
While you are reviewing all of the amazing products in the Retired List, I want to remind you of some other promotions that are going on right now – I don’t want you to miss a thing!
Retiring In Colors
Be sure to stock up on any of the products you love with the five 2017-2019 In Colors because they are retiring on June 3. While all of these products are listed on the Retiring List, I wanted to point them out separately. These will certainly sell out before June 3, so stock up today.
Retiring Designer Series Papers
All of the current Designer Series Papers will retire at the end of the catalog – or when they sell out. If you like to stock up on favorites so you have the patterns you love years from now, now’s the time to get in there and grab them up.

Thank you so much for this clarification! I went through the new catty online making my wish list, then went to update my old catty to note the retired ones. I knew I had seen some of the “retired” ones in the new catty. Almost thought I was losing my mind….?
Glad it helps – we were a bit frightened of the list at first but happy to see the update.
