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 2021 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 May 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 highlights about this sale you need to know:
- Sales Period: March 24 – May 3 (11:59pm MT)
- Only select items in the 2020–2021 Annual Catalog will be discounted.
- Sale applies to all order types except host items (see Last-Chance Products List for items on sale).
- No minimum purchase is required.
- Retiring items are available while supplies last.
- Items and discounts may vary by market (depending on inventory levels).
- Exclusions apply: Carryover items and some retiring items will not be discounted.
- Items carrying over from a mini catalog into another mini catalog will not be available until that catalog is released.
- Items carrying over from the annual catalog to another catalog will be available continuously.
- A note about bundles – most 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
In today’s post, I’m pointing you to some standout products and categories in the current Retiring List. You can see the complete list of everything that’s retiring here:

Because the lists are long (I’ve not manipulated them very much) and because you don’t have a lot of time, I’ve highlighted some key items you need to be aware of in the sections below.
SOME OF MY FAVORITES
Here’s a look at some of my favorites that are retiring on May 3 (or when supplies run out):
Stampin’ Up! introduces us to some amazing, new punches and dies in the upcoming Annual Catalog, but I’m nervous about crafting without my circle punches and Stitched Shapes Dies. These are some of my favorite, most-used tools in the Fungeon.
RETIRING 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. There are a lot of bundles that are going away in this Retired Products List.
Here are six bundles where both the stamp set and coordinating dies/punch are completely going away on May 3 (or when they sell out):
These have been some really popular bundles over the past year. Don’t sit on your hands and then miss out.
DEEP DISCOUNTS
We all love a good discount, right?! While there are a lot of discounted products in the Retiring Products Sale, I want to showcase the products with the deepest discounts:
70% OFF
Here are eight products that are marked 70% off during the current sale:
60% OFF
And here are a bunch of products that are currently marked at 60% off:
OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
Retiring Designer Series Papers
All of the current Designer Series Papers traditionally retire at the end of the catalog – or when they sell out. One exception this year – the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper is not on the Retiring Products List. Yay! 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. You can shop Designer Series Papers here (this link includes some papers from the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, too)
Retiring In Colors
We’ve loved the five 2019-2021 In Colors for two years now, but it’s time to let them go so we can make room for the new collection of colors that arrive int he 2021 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to shop the retiring In Colors before they go away, click here.
Retiring Suite Collections
All of the Suite Collections are retiring. If you’d like to review all of these Suite Collections from the 2020 Annual Catalog, click here (this link includes suites from the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, too).
I say it every time a Retiring Products List is shared – order now so you don’t miss out. Still, someone will wait and feel disappointment when the product they wanted is gone. Please don’t be that person – it will break my heart.
Thanks for stopping by today!
