July – December 2021 Mini Catalog Retiring Products Sale Starts TOMORROW

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 for all the craft supplies they want on hand. 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.

In today’s post, I’m going to share the list of retiring products from Stampin’ Up!’s July – December 2021 Mini Catalog (I’ve sorted the list in a way that makes more sense to me). I’m also going to point out the important things you need to know about the sale and give you some helpful pointers to get the most bang for your buck. 🙂

Highlights about the Sale

• Not all retiring products are being offered at a discount – only select items are discounted (but those discounts are REALLY good).
• The sales period for the Last Chance Products sale is from December 1, 2021 through January 2, 2022.
• All products are available while supplies last. When they are gone, they are gone.
• Discounted items can be added to a Starter Kit and redeemed as a 50% off item or with Stampin’ Rewards.

The Retiring List

Because the retiring list is really long, I’ve reworked the list in a way that feeds the information into my brain a little better. I’ve pulled all the French products from the list and ordered everything in the following categories:

• Retiring Single Stamp Sets
• Retiring Bundles – Only Stamp Set Retiring
• Retiring Bundles – Only Punch/Dies Retiring
• Retiring Bundles – Both Stamp Set & Punch/Dies Retiring
• Retiring Tools
• Retiring Embellishments
• Retiring Papers
• Retiring Bundles – Only Bundled Pricing Goes Away

Here Retiring List I’ve created for you (click on the image below to view/download/print this list):

The Carryover List

Stampin’ Up! also provided us with a short list of carryover products – items that will be included in either the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, the 2022 Annual Catalog or the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. I didn’t have to edit this list much (just removed the French items for you):

Retiring Bundles with Additional Savings

Bundles are just about the best thing ever invented. Not only do the stamped images coordinate with the dies or punch, but bundles offer a 10% discount when you buy both of the bundled items at the same time.

During the Last Chance Sale, select dies/punches are discounted at 50% off or 20% off, which makes it economical (and well worth your time) to enter two products numbers (instead of the bundle product ID) to get the both products at a better price than the bundle.

Here are two examples of discounted products where it makes sense to buy the items individually (I call them Build-a-Bundles):

Great Tidings

The Great Tidings Build-a-Bundle includes the Great Tidings stamp set (#156347) and Wise Men Tidings Dies (#156381). While this combination is already offered as a bundle in the July – December 2021 Mini Catalog, the bundled price is $43.00. Since the dies are deeply discounted (while supplies last), you can purchase both of these for just $34.00 by ordering them separately.

Words of Cheer

The Words of Cheer Build-a-Bundle includes the Words of Cheer stamp set (#156357) and Christmas Cheer Dies (#156388). While this combination is already offered as a bundle in the July – December 2021 Mini Catalog, the bundled price is $46.75. Since the dies are deeply discounted (while supplies last), you can purchase both of these for just $34.50 by ordering them separately.

Other Retiring Bundles with discounted elements include:

• Classic Cloche – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $9.50 by ordering the stamp set (#156355) and dies (#156386) individually.
• Sweet Little Stockings – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $10.00 by ordering the stamp set (#156282) and dies (#156288) individually.
• Arctic Bears – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $9.50 by ordering the stamp set (#156428) and dies (#156456) individually.
• Beauty of Tomorrow – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $11.25 by ordering the stamp set (#156459) and dies (#156468) individually.
• Cutest Halloween – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $5.50 by ordering the stamp set (#156480) and punch (#156482) individually.
• Sparkle of the Season – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $8.35 by ordering the stamp set (#156518) and dies (#156564) individually.
• Festive & Bright – instead of ordering the bundle, save an additional $10.25 by ordering the stamp set (#158536) and dies (#156565) individually.

Be sure to scan the Retiring List for the papers, ribbons and embellishments you love – now’s your chance to restock on a few of those. Also, be sure to scan the list for discounts. 50% off is an incredible discount, but 40% off and 20% off aren’t bad deals, either. ♥

Do you feel prepared for tomorrow? I really don’t want you to miss out on these retiring products (when they are gone, they are gone), so I hope this post has been helpful. I’ll be back tomorrow with links to the sale and some inspiration projects to point out some of the products I’ll be sad to see go.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
