As most of you already know, Stampin’ Up! has some fascinating changes coming to their color lineup!  This is going to be an exciting time for everyone.  I’m ecstatic about some of the new colors coming on board although I do have to say that I am sorry to see some of them go.
There has been a mad rush to get the retiring colors, so Stampin’ Up! is only guaranteeing availability until the end of this month.  That’s not saying that they won’t go on backorder.  It just means that if you order some of the retiring colors before the end of the month, you’re going to get it.  However, once June 1st rolls around, it’s first come, first serve.  Once they run out, it’s all gone.
What to Do?
This is what I’m going to be doing, and I suggest you do the same.  Take a look at each of the ink pads and ink cartridges that you have and ask yourself the following:
- “Do I have an ink refill for this color?”
- “Do I have enough card stock? (8-1/2″ x 11 and 12″ x 12″)”
- “Do I need any of the ribbons, brads and other accessories in this color?”
Next, look once again at the retiring list of colors.
 
“Are there any colors still on my wishlist?”  If so, you might want to consider ordering card stock, an ink pad, and an ink refill in that color.
Here’s the list of Retiring Colors.  You can also click the image to download a pdf to print out.

 
Please don’t wait if you’re wanting something from the retiring colors.  I would hate to think that you’d end up having to throw away an ink pad simply because you don’t have the matching refill!
Happy Stamping
