I love to share Stampin’ Up!’s products with my blog readers, team members and customers. While we still have so many amazing, new products to explore from Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog (and we have a lot of new products on the way with Stampin’ Up!’s July-December Mini Catalog and August-September Sale-a-Bration brochure), I am taking a quick break to look back at some treasured retired products. Today, I’m happy to share a super-fun Blog Candy Giveaway today with one lucky blog reader.
Blog Candy Giveaway
Blog Candy Giveaways are usually reserved for when I make a big mistake and order multiples of a product. When I do, my team members, customers or blog readers sometimes help me re-home the goodies.
For the past week, I’ve been promoting my Retired Products Shop, which is another way to help me send my lightly used, but heavily loved, goodies to a new home. Despite selling so much over the weekend, there are still so many products left in the store (and I really want to unload these before they burden the foundation of my home), so I thought I’d give you a chance to win a $50 shopping spree in my store. 
I’m giving away a $50 shopping spree in my Retired Shop.
I will choose one winner from the comments left on today’s post to win this shopping spree. The winner will be announced Thursday evening – that gives you TWO days to enter to win.
If you would like to look around my Retired Shop to start making your wish list, CLICK HERE.
How to Qualify for this Blog Candy Giveaway
To qualify for this Blog Candy Giveaway, please leave me a comment on this post and answer this question:
What Stampin’ Up! Color CAN NEVER retire?
I have so many favorites that it would be impossible to pick ONE, but I will. While I don’t use it all the time, I don’t know how I’d survive without Night of Navy. It’s such an elegant color that’s a perfect standby for black and pairs with everything.
I can only send product to residents of the United States, and I can only pick one winner. I can’t wait to see your responses! I’ll randomly choose a winner Thursday evening and post the winner here.
While I Have Your Attention…
While you are still here, I would like to draw your attention to some big things happening this week:

I love hosting shares to give participants a chance to purchase a little bit of everything from a new catalog – the papers, ribbons and embellishments. I also make swatch books, which are a great reference tool when you are creating, organizing and sharing with Designer Series Papers.

Night of Navy and old olive are two of my faves. You know, the ones I’d take with me on a deserted island …to stamp:)
Thanks for the great blog!

Old Olive- I love this color for all occasions and times of year.
Real red and old olive & garden green are my top favorites. I miss creamy caramel!!!
Wow! That’s a toughie but I would say Old Olive. Thank you, Brian!
They cannot retire Pink Pirouette, oh wait, they already did and yes I’m still bitter, lol. Since I can’t use that one I guess I’d say Old Olive. I use it year round. Please don’t take my Old Olive away!
I agree! I love/loved Pink Pirouette!!!
You are absolutely right – Night of Navy should never be retired!
Any of the greens. I am really liking the new in color greens. Alas, they are with us for only two years.
I love all greens also
Hi Brian. Awesome giveaway and thanks for the opportunity. I would say Flirty Flamingo could never retire. There is no other color as vibrant and fun. Thanks again!
I asked my daughter her color she hopes never to retire and she said Pear Pizazz which is the color I also selected. I am starting to agree with all the old Navy, red’s and even pool party too. Thanks Brian for all you do.
Night of Navy was my first choice too, but I’m also thinking Early Espresso. Love these 2 colors!
I love, love, love Cherry Cobbler!!! The dessert and the cardstock….
My answer is Night of Navy, and I knew it BEFORE I read on down and saw you already said it. 🙂 I hate to say though, because last time I mentioned my favorite color somewhere, Tempting Turquoise, it soon went away with a color refresh, boo hoo, but I survived!
Garden Green can never be retired—NEVER!!! Other colors which should not have been retired are: Riding Hood Red – goes with everything, Wild Wasabi, another green that goes with everything, and Ballet Blue–it’s a true blue, not a green blue, which every single other blue Stampin Up has come up with seems to be, ie Pacific Point. They also need to NEVER stop making Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie!! Of course there are many others I love, but I do wish they would make some real pinks that are not sallow and yellowish and actually are peaches, not pinks. I LOVE Shaded Spruce, Marvelous Magenta, and I miss Sage Shadow. Personally, I wish they would stop making burgundy reds which are more like black and brown and don’t have enough blue in them. Baroque Burgundy was better than any of its successors.
I wish they hadn’t retired Crumb Cake but I agree with others t hat Old Olive should always be around.
Barb, happy news for you, but Crumb Cake is still available.
So many great ones to chose, some already gone! I’d have to say Blushing Bride for one!
Hi Brian 🙂 Real Red should never, ever, ever retire !!!
Gosh, so many “must stay” colors…not sure if I can pick just one. Blackberry Bliss is my all-time favorite color, but Navy, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler are all just as important. I do miss Seaside Spray and hope it comes back in the next refresh.
Real red. It would be a sad sad day if this color ever went away. Christmas, Valentines, 4th of July.
Love it ❤️
Crumb cake
Hi Brian
I love so many , but Pool Party & Garden Green & Blackberry Bliss & Highland Heather are my top 4!
Purple is my favorite color but Stampin Up seems to have only a few after they retired some
Old Olive must never retire! It coordinates well with many different colors and I use it for cards made during every season. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am right with you! Night of Navy is my favorite color. It can be used for feminine and masculine cards!
It’s a challenge to choose just one color — Old Olive is one of my go-to colors throughout the year but I would also be lost without Real Red! Thanks, Brian, for a great conversation about colors 😊
Just recently, I discovered a new favorite: Sahara Sand! I usually lean toward grays for my neutrals but Sahara Sand goes with most colors and it’s very classy. It looks great on all-white cards as well.
I would be lost without Night of Navy, too!
I too have lots of favorites so I just went immediately to the Christmas cards since that is the season I craft the most. I would definitely be very sad if Real Red was no longer around though Cherry Cobbler would make an okay substitute and take away a few of those tears.
Real Red must never retire. I would be
Lost when it comes to Christmas cards without Real Red!
Night of navy. I can’t imagine it ever going away
Night of Navy and Real Red for sure!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Brian and thank you for the blog candy.
Crumb Cake is my go to neutral and should never retire.
Old Olive for sure!
Garden green is such a versatile color! I hope it does not retire.
Pool Party because it is so versatile and seems to go with everything
Pool party 💗💗💗
Cherry Cobble, and Mossy Meadow can Never go away for me. or Early Espresso.
Night of Navy is my go to color.
Real Red is the best pop of color for any season or sentiment.
I seem to use Crumb Cake a lot. It goes with so many colors.
I love Mossy Meadow. I use it frequently
I thought & thought about this question and decided that it is to hard to choose just one favorite color that I didn’t want to retire. My go to neutral is Crumb Cake it goes with almost everything. My most used bright is Daffodil Delight. My subtle choice is Pool Party and for regals I just love them all. If I have to narrow it down to just one I’d say Old Olive is my number one color that I never want to see retired.
So hard to choose just two but Crumb Cake and Old Olive, for sure. I love Real Red, BlackBerry Bliss and…etc.
I use crumb cake all the time; it is wonderful neutral color that doesn’t distract from the project. I’d hate to see it retire.
Please, please, please never retire these colors: crumb cake, cherry cobbler, real red, pumpkin pie, old olive and so saffron! Thanks 🙂
Blackberry Bliss—so scrumptious!!
Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler…. don’t they even sound delicious???
Soooo many great colors! I agree that night of navy can’t leave, but I also agree with those who chose pool party, crumb cake, and cherry cobbler. My all time favorite was concord crush!
