My little one (who is not so little, but will always be “my little one”!) turned 16 yesterday, and I pulled out some of the “go-to” products I use for girls, including the coordinating cupcake products and bright cardstock. Then I realized some of these favorites are on the Retired Lists for Stamps and Accessories (click here to go to the lists)! So sad!
To me, the most surprising item on the Retired List is the Ruffle Stretch Trim that I used here in Strawberry Slush. I thought we would surely have another year with it since those In Colors will be back. Perhaps we will get a similar ribbon? The Glimmer Paper is also marked as Retired, but I do believe it will come back in some form (just my thought, no promises).
I used the Typeset Alphabet Dies for the numbers (and they are stamped with a pattern from Eye-Catching Ikat), and those dies will be retired, as will the Create a Cupcake and Fabulous Phrases stamp sets. Fabulous Phrases will be a big loss for me – I love those little words! I used two on the inside of the card, too.
Sad to see some of these products go, but that does make room for new goodies in the upcoming Annual Catalog. In the meantime, you can shop for retiring items (or any items) with FREE shipping thru April 25. Click the Shop Now button at the top right of my page, or contact me if you would like me to place your order.
Have a great day!
