Retirement Party with the Pals!
Thank you for joining us for the May Pals Blog Hop and our annual Retirement Party with the Pals! It’s time to say goodbye to stamps and accessories that will not be available in the new 2013-14 Stampin’ Up! catalog. Although it’s always sad to see wonderful products retire, it is exciting to think about all of the new products that will soon be available. So enjoy the farewell tour for our favorite retiring products – and remember you have until June 3rd to order from the retiring product lists.
You should have just left stop number 23 on the Pals Hop – Mary Fish at Stampin’ Pretty. If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
With so many things leaving us this month I definitely had a tough time choosing what to showcase. There I go again, decisions, decisions! A favorite set in the “tack room” is Word Play. Images in this stamp set have a great combination of type and imagery making it as perfect for a front focal point as an inside sentiment.

Different parts of “Big Wish” were colored with various Stampin’ Write Markers, then stamped on a piece of pattern paper from the Paper Pumpkin Welcome Kit. In fact, the colors were all inspired by the kit. The Lucky Limeade Marker from the 2011-2013 In-Color Set (#123002), Bakers Twine (#125572) and Card Stock (#122926) are all retiring. You can still get them while supplies last!
Featured Products:
