ANSWERS TO SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RETIRED ACCESSORIES LIST

 

Click here for the retired accessories list

 

WOW!  was all I could say as I looked at the retired accessories list.  First let me say that many of these items are not leaving but are being upgraded to better items.  I know you are as excited as I am to see the new 2012-2013 catalog.

The first big concern I had was, what's up with the ink pads, are they changing all of the colors? Here is the answer to that question.

 

 Introducing. firm foam pads!

Above you will see a picture of the new Firm Foam Stampin' Pads.  They will change your stamping experience for the better.

Here are some of the benefits of these new pads:
They provide better ink coverage for your stamps!

Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
The pad stays juicier for longer resulting in better ink pad longevity!

The also have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!  They come with color name labels in 4 languages you can add  to the side of the pad for easy identification!


Here is some additional information on Catalog changes.  Nearly all of the stamps will now be available in clear mount and the seasonal catalogs will be much larger offering more seasonal stamp sets to choose from.





In addition, please note the following about the new catalog changes:
  • Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)
  • 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered
  • 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections
  •  Any item with an asterisk next to it is being reconfigured.  An example of this could be repackaging, as in the example above of the markers.
  • Craft Ink Pads (other than black or white per above) and Craft Refills will no longer be offered.
  • Classic Ink Refills (other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors) will still be available.
  • Stampin' Spots are being discontinued.  Stampin' Up! may possibly reconfigure & sell some of the Classic Ink Spots.
  • Other than the retiring 2010-2012 In Colors, the Stampin' Up! colors are NOT retiring.

Decor Elements and Simply Adorned lines are being discontinued.
IMPORTANT CORRECTION: 
Two items that were included on the Retiring Accessories List are not actually retiring. The lists have been updated to remove these items.
