Morning folks and welcome to this month’s Stampin Creative Blog Hop – we’re focusing on our Retiring Favourites this month because sadly that time has come again! Yes next month (MAY) will see the end of this year’s Annual Catalogue and the Spring / Summer catalogue too! The Retirement List is up & things are selling out fast! You can see all that is going HERE.
So we decided to choose our Retiring Favourites and put together a blog hop to celebrate how much we’ve loved them and how much we’ll miss them! If you’ve hopped here from Louise I’m sure you’ll have had a spectacular show of retiring favourites or if you’ve just joined me here welcome and don’t forget to hop around the whole crew! And if THAT wasn’t enough excitement for you, we’re also running a Comment Blog Hop GIVEAWAY – yes that’s right – any customer from the UK can just comment on our hops and you’ll be entered into a FREE draw to win this fabulous bundle of loveliness. Comment on all the hops and get an entry for each one!… note this giveaway is only available to UK customers due of the postage costs for us! But even if you can’t join in the Giveaway, we’d love to hear from you too!
Back to my retiring favourites…
So I’ve decided to choose a whole selection of my favourites from both the Annual Catalogue and the Spring / Summer Catalogues – what’s leaving is shown in the captions on each photo!
At this point we have no idea what might still be available, or what has already sold out and gone forever! Yes – some things have already gone for good, and there are lots out there on Low Inventory – so if you fancy any of our retiring favourites you see today, or if you have some retiring favourites of your own, check them out & if they’re still around – grab them while you can, because they won’t be back.
Use my monthly giveaway code TODAY XKECDGV9 and grab a free gift of Rhinestones that will be posted to you in May just to say thanks for using my online store. New code will go live tomorrow just check back here for the new code! I won’t be doing shared shipping for any orders containing retiring items because I just cannot guarantee whether they will be available or not – so if you want anything, please purchase online and check it out quick to make sure it’s yours!
So before you run off & purchase your bits, please hop on over to Lesley who I’m sure will also tempt you with lots of lovely things! Hop around the rest of the Stampin’ Creative crew to see all of our retiring favourites and come back to place your Order when you’re done.

Fantastic projects as usual Pip, I am so going to miss the Bird Builder punch for business, but it will definitely be staying on my shelves for other uses.x
Thank you Karen, glad you liked them 🙂
Gorgeous projects, Pip. I’d overlooked the Serene Silhouettes and now realise I should have bought them. Weird how that happens! A lovely show and tell of those retiring faves. Caro x
Thanks Caro and yes I KNOW exactly what you mean – I missed some stunning stamps this year & now I wish I’d bought them – oh well! More next year 🙂
Going to miss the little candies… and the stamps I did not get.. love my punches.. cannot believe they are going.. also some of the older stamp sets… love Stampin Up.. always something new around the corner.
Don’t worry Jane not ALL of the punches are going, but I will miss the ovals & bird builder! New stuff is amazing though, so we’ll all be happy next month!
I am very sad and possibly in denial about the demise of my beloved bird builder and cupcake punches which are useful for so many things. As the ovals – WHY?!!!!!
I know so very sad 🙁 but means room for new sparkly stuff!! Woo hoo!
I am in mourning for the loss of so many fab punches. Bird builder and cupcake have been used so many times in so many ways and my ovals are pretty much a go to for sentiment pieces as well as lots of punch art tricks. V sad……
too many lovely products leaving us.. 🙁 Thanks for Sharing . x Bibi
Thank you Bibi, glad you like them, but yes way too many nice things going!
Oh Pip, Stop it … you’ve reminded me of so many retiring favourites here. That Scallop circle punch was I believe, my first ever Stampin’ Up! Punch 🙁 I’ll be sad to see that go x
Ahh hun, sorry 🙁 I know the bird builder was a very early purchase for me too!
Love stampin up products. Love your cards and fantastic giveaway thankyou x
Thank you Hayley! Good luck 🙂
Going to really miss a lot of the products going, especially the bird punch ad that is the first SU product I ever saw on a trip back to NZ and seeing and playing with that got me hooked! Great projects.
Thanks Sarah – it’s funny how just one thing gets us hooked & then we’re doomed!!
Love the variety and ideas, inspiration for me,thankyou.
Thanks Jackie – so glad you enjoyed our hop and it gave you inspiration – that’s all we can hope for!
What a great selection of cards to showcase Pip. My Serene Silhouette has been well loved! Going to miss this set too.
Yes me too Emma! So sad 🙁
Ditto Louise, great selection! The bird punch may have to nest a little longer in my house. Surprisingly, am also sorry to see the birthday DSP go too.
Haha very surprising Lesley – but it just goes to show there’s always a chance to surprise ourselves with SU stuff! That bird is not flying out of my house for a while for sure!
Great choice of projects Pip – can’t believe the bird punch is leaving X
Thanks Louise – no I know 🙁
