I must say….this is the time of the year when everyone gets confused…flustered….sad….happy (because it is getting closer to the NEW CATALOG) but today I am going to ease your mind on items that are in the retired list ~ more explicitly the BUNDLES….to let you know the ones that ARE going to be in the NEW CATALOG.
I bet you are saying – WHY IN THE HECK WOULD STAMPIN’ UP SAY THAT THEY ARE BEING RETIRED if they are going to be in the next catalog?
Again, here is the retired list!
Well….I can and I can’t answer that BUT I will say that there is a “key” beside the items that does indicate that they are being carried over – THEY WILL JUST NOT BE AT THE BUNDLED PRICE. (this is at the very, very bottom of the retired list)
What does that mean to you? Easy = if you like these products that I would take advantage of them now BEFORE the new catalog because they WILL NOT be at the discounted bundled price of 10% off. Basically….they will go into the catalog “A la Carte” ….the link for all of them will be at the end of the post. (TRUST ME….seeing the pictures is easier on your eyes) 😀

All I can say is WOW….you can ease the pain in knowing that there are ALL of these carrying over. If I figured them correctly – there are 19 and WOW…..19 is fabulous!!! 😀 I know that we all push that PANIC button but before we hit that button….I want to ask you one question?
Is it that big of a deal if they are being discontinued?
This is the way that I view it…..the confessions of an honest stamper! If I like it….I would keep it and use it because it touches my heart and makes me happy. 😀
I honestly do that ….They have a special area in my work area and they are HAPPY but I just do not blog about them once they become discontinued because that would not be fair to you!
Just because it is “walking the plank” and not in the NEW Catalog does not mean that it is not a great stamp set. Do I agree with all of the choices??? NO….but when you think of it – that is LIFE….we cannot please every one!
I hope that this post enlightens you to see that there are great items that are going to still be with us! Please do not let this HUGE list get the best of you!
As I shared on Tuesday, I am super sad that the DSP Stacks are going “bye-bye” but click here to see that post and see the Product Share that I am offering! I will keep an “eagle eye” on that list but if you want to take advantage of this share…email me!
I KNOW you are going to ADORE tomorrow’s post….I look forward to seeing you!
Hi Susan, I would like to know what you do with your retired stamp sets that are retired and you no longer want to keep for personal use?
🙂
I know once she did something where people who ordered X amount one month got an invite to pick one to come live with them.
Thanks for the clarity on the bundles, Susan. I agree…if you want it, get it now or you may be sad later on. Great question, Nancy!
Organizing makes for more shopping to be done!!!! Thanks Susan!!!!
Well said, Susan. You explained the ‘retiring list’ perfectly. I, too, keep retired products that I like.
Yes, Nancy has a great question not that I really want to purge anything but who knows what I am doing with all my stuff. Thanks for listing the bundles – much less confusing. You have a photo of the Jar of Cheer up but I know you mean the Jar of Love bundle. So glad they kept it and hope they build on it with the fall and winter mini. Yes, I am already looking forward to that and I haven’t even had the new annual catalog in my hot little hands yet! There are a few bundles I have been considering and now I need to pay more attention to these. Plus, a couple I totally spaced out on. But, there are a few things I still wanted from the spring mini that are “walking the plank!” What is with them running out of the tool set and dies. That was going to be my purchase at card club this month. I am just a bit still dazed about all this new stuff vs old and trying to get organized, clean up my piles of stuff, clean and work on the house, lose weight, do this and do that, as well as feel better mentally and physically. I think I am going to get a cold Diet Coke and go find a fence to sit on and watch the grass grow and watch the birds, squirrels and bunnies play – I am stressing myself out already and it is only 8:30 in the morning! Talk about getting a grip!
There are some retiring things (bundles Mostly) I would like to have but I’m just too overwhelmed to decide what to order…. maybe if I procrastinate long enough they’ll all be sold out and I won’t have to decide. LOL!
Hope you got my email in regard to the dsp series shares you are offering . I got them the last time and I would love to get them again . It is hard to pass on some of these retiring offers .but I have to be a good girl and wait for the new items which are going to be fun !
Looking forward to tomorrow !!
