Say Good-Bye to some of our favourite Stampin’ Up! products.  Yes, there is good and there is bad about this statement. 

The bad is that some of our most favourites will be gone as well.   .  Here are some of the ones that I consider  my go-tos

• Beauty Abound stamp & matching dies,
• Stitched Shapes Dies,
• Well Said Stamps & Dies,
• Zany Zebras. 
• All the 2019-2021 In Colours and their coordinating cardstock, inks, ink refills and embellishments are on the chopping block. These are just a sample of the products that are leaving. 
• All the Designer Series Papers will be gone, except for the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.

The list goes on and on.  So, over the next several weeks, I will be posting projects which use these products.  There  will also be a link to the discontinued list, as items sell out and they won’t be restocked.  …

So, as the saying goes “don’t be disappointed” and have to say Good-bye… The Last Chance List will be available to download and print out at the bottom of this post.  Stampin’ Up! will not  be updating the list when products sell out.  You can go to my ONLINE Store to see whether the product you want to order is still available.
