Last Chance Stampin’ Up! Products

Grab Your Favorites Before They’re Gone!

Out With the Old, In With the New

Can you believe it’s that time of year already? Last Chance Stampin’ Up! products are highlighted, as Stampin’ Up! is preparing to release their new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. And before they do, they have to get rid of a few items.

The Last Chance Products Sale is just that. It is your last chance to buy them (and hurry before they sell out!). Also, some of the items are actually on sale, with discounted prices!

If you love great deals, this is the perfect time to shop. Just remember, this sale is while supplies last or until May 3, 2021.

Last Chance Stampin’ Up! Products Sales List

The Last Chance Products Sale List is long, but don’t worry. There will be plenty of new stamping products to take the retiring products’ place. Click here to see the list of Last Chance Products. Print or enlarge the four page document for easier viewing.

How To Read The Last Chance Products Sales List

You will find a lot of information, and that can be overwhelming. The categories are marked as stamp sets, bundles, kits, paper, ink, embellishments, tools and host. The publication will tell you which catalog the product is found in, as well as the page and item number. You will be happy to see a discount percentage on the price if the item is on sale.

Of great importance, pay attention to the reference column. There are asterisks numbered in totals of one to four. The very last page will tell you what these mean, but here is a breakdown:

1 * = Host Stamp Set, only earned with Stampin’ Rewards. You may not purchase these sets without earning them with a qualifying purchase.

2 * = Bundle includes some products that are not retiring. For example, the Right Triangle Bundle. The Right Triangle Stamp Set is retiring, but the Stitched Triangle Dies are not.

3 * = The items in the bundle are not retiring, but will not be offered as a bundle (with 10% savings) after May 3. You may buy each item separately in the future…but you will pay more. I like to get my bundled savings, so I really pay attention to this notation.

4 * = This item is not retiring, but will be reconfigured in the new catalog. Stampin’ Up! is bettering their best with photopolymer stamp sets. With the new process, they will now include an extended insert in the case. These products will have new item numbers in the upcoming catalog. So, don’t worry, these items aren’t really retiring at all!

Last Chance Products January-June 2021 Mini Catalog

As if one Last Chance Products List isn’t enough, there is another catalog and list to consider. The January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is just half-way thru its sales period. But, just like the Annual Catalog list, there will be items retiring from this catalog too.

At this point, the retiring list for the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog Last Chance Sale only lists product that will be retiring. Any discounted prices will not be offered until June 1. You should use this list to make sure you purchase any product from this catalog before it sells out or ages into retirement. I will share more info on this retirement process when the time comes.

Buy Your Last Chance Products Sooner Rather Than Later

Lately, Stampin’ Up! products have been selling like hot-cakes. Just last week, there were several items that sold out, ahead of the retirement list. Don’t be disappointed when you find something you really wanted is already out of stock. Head over to my online store and shop away! You will be glad that you did!

Butterfly Brilliance Bundle

Butterfly Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

2021-2022 Annual Catalog Early Release

Set flight to your creativity with the artistic designs of the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle! This stamp and die bundle is an exciting early-release. You will see it featured in the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. But, you can get yours now!

Butterfly Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

This unique set consists of one large stamp with intricately detailed butterfly images. The coordinating multi-image dies cut out the images in one pass. And, there are more coordinating, detail-rich dies. They will add even more beauty to your projects. You’ll love both the convenience and detail you get from stamping once and cutting once!

This amazing set is made up of one large stamp. It coordinates with the die to cut out the images in one pass. Next, layer on the delicate detailed overlay die cuts to add depth.

Limited Release Exclusive Paper

Plus, only now through May 3rd (or while supplies last), you can get your hands on more! Consider the gorgeous, limited-release, coordinating designer series paper. Also featured exclusively is a unique, textured specialty paper. Both will add a pop of brilliance to your projects. Even better, many of the paper images coordinate with the dies, too!

The Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set is perfect for every butterfly occasion. The art style is realistically detailed, which gives you a wide range of versatility. I love that these butterflies are modeled after butterfly species from around the world.

Looking for easy background stamping? You will find that the butterflies on this single stamp are arranged perfectly to fit your need. Alternatively, you may use a masking technique to stamp individual butterflies!

TIP: You may want to purchase a second stamp set so you can cut the butterfly images and use independently.

Butterfly Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

Order your Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and save 10%. Or, use one code to add the entire collection to your cart. Then, enjoy the instant art in all your upcoming spring projects. Butterflies make everything brilliantly beautiful!

Corner Bouquet Stamp Set

Recently Retired But Still Fabulous!

Did you get a chance to earn the Corner Bouquet Stamp Set for free with a qualifying $50 purchase during the January-February 2021 Sale-A-Bration period? If not, it is too late…Sale-A-Bration is over and this set is retired.

This stamp set may be short on sentiments, but it is big on everything else! The Corner Bouquet Stamp Set is versatile, easy to use and timeless. All you need to do is take a look at the tremendous amount of card samples using this set, and inspiration will certainly strike!

Corner Bouquet Stamp Set Samples

Card samples using Corner Bouquet Stamp Set

An easy way for you to duplicate card patterns and create unique looks is to start by stamping your image on 3 different pieces of color cardstock. Next, cut the stamped paper in thirds. Finally, rearrange them on each card front “puzzle style” to recreate the main image.

For the card samples shown above, I used the largest stamp image with Versamark Ink (item #102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (item #109132). Then, I heat set it with my Heat Tool (item #129053).

Card sample in neutral colors using Corner Bouquet Stamp Set

My next sample is done in neutral colors. I used Merry Merlot as a pop of color. For this card, I used the rest of the stamps in this great set. It really proves that all of the stamps in this set have value.

Did you notice that the sentiments in my cards are similar? The new Double Oval Punch from the January -June 2021 Mini Catalog is a must have! You will be able to create layers so easily using it. Or you could use each oval shape as a stand alone accent piece.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Even though you are unable to earn this item for free now that Sale-A-Bration has ended, I am offering a very limited quantity of new Corner Bouquet Stamp Sets as part of a card making class. The stamp sets have not been previously used, and are not “sticker” assembled.

My class has several options. You may purchase the Stamp Set and Card Kit option, and choose to create 3 different cards using the Corner Bouquet Stamp Set local in Maine with me. Or you can have the stamp set and card kit shipped, and view assembly directions online.

If you already have this stamp set, just order the card kit. Again, you can join me in person, or have your kit shipped and create with me from the comfort of your own home.

The cards we will be making will differ from the samples shown above. By joining the class you will learn more creative ways to use this stamp set. For more details, click here. Hope to see you soon for class!
