Saying Goodbye to Favorite Stamps

Once per year, Stampin' Up! discontinues stamps and accessories from their annual catalog. The list of retiring products was announced on Wednesday and demonstrators got their first peek at the 2020-21 Annual Catalog that will be released in June. There are many stamps and accessories that I will be sad to see go, but there is so much good stuff coming!

Please note, the Stampin' Blends are not retiring, but they will no longer be offered as single markers. They will now be offered only in combo packs of the light and the dark for each color.
​
Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed to be available through May 22. However, paper, dies, punch, ribbons, and all accessories are only available while supplies last. Many things are already beginning to sell out!
Purchase Retiring Stamps and Accessories
Since I can't share any of the upcoming goodies with you yet, I'm going to be sharing projects using some of my favorite retiring stamps and accessories over the next few weeks. Today, I have two cards using the Varied Vases stamp set. For both of these cards, I created a pattern using one of the solid vase stamps. Both cards also use Granny Apple Green, Crushed Curry, and Gorgeous Grape.

For this first card, I stamped the vases on Very Vanilla cardstock. I used vases stamped with the full-strength color as well as ones that had been stamped off first. This gives more variation in color while keeping the color scheme simple.

Cardstock:
  • Very Vanilla: 3 3/4" x 5", plus scrap
  • Granny Apple Green: 3 15/16" x 5 3/16" and 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and 1/4" x 5"

The "You Are Wonderful" sentiment comes from the Rooted in Nature stamp set (not retiring). I cut this piece with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. These dies are being reconfigured, but will still be available. Finally, I added a few Gingham Gala Sequins. The greeting and the card front are adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to give it more depth.

My second card is stamped on Whisper White cardstock. All of the images on this card are from the Varied Vases stamp set. I love this stamp set and will be sad t see it go! It's a two-step stampin' set, so it is easy to create images in multiple colors.

Cardstock:
  • Whisper White: 3 3/4" x 5" and a scrap
  • Gorgeous Grape: 3 15/16" x 5 3/16" and 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half.
​
I cut the oval using the Stitched Shapes dies. Like the Stitched Rectangle dies, these are being reconfigured, but will still be available. I added some Baker's Twine that was a Sale-A-Bration item and some retiring Noble Peacock rhinestones. 
​
The Varied Vases and its sister set, Vibrant Vases, are beautiful stamp sets that are fun to work with to create a variety of simple cards. They also have a matching punch that will punch out the vases. The punch is not retiring, but if you want the matching stamp set, be sure to get it before it's gone!
