RETIRING STAMPIN' UP! COLORS ARE SELLING OUT!!!!!!!!!!

That's right! We have surpassed Stampin' Up!'s Expectations with how much we would want to stock up on Retiring Colors.

You may be asking yourself: didn't Stampin' Up! anticipate increased demand on retiring colors? The quick answer is yes, they did. The long answer is a bit more complicated. They base their forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information for previous color transitions, as well as current buying behaviors. Obviously, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone.

For re-inkers in retiring colors, as they run out, they will be placed on backorder status and those orders will be filled as quickly as they receive the product.

Card stock presents a bit larger problem, as the process of ordering and producing new paper from the paper mills is very involved, and they can't order significant quantities at this point in time without putting the production of the new colors in jeopardy. To help them be able to provide you with the card stock in the retiring colors for as long as possible, they will be substituting textured paper for some of the smooth colors–including card stock in 8 ½ x 11 as well as 12 x 12–where the smooth is no longer available. They realize that this is an extraordinary situation, and that this solution may not be ideal for everyone. However, they hope this will help you get the retiring colors you want for as long as possible.

SO – all of that being said, I would *highly* recommend you get your orders in NOW for retiring cardstock colors to ensure that you get the colors that you want while you still can! Some colors may retire before June 1st, and on June 1st all retiring colors will only be available while supplies last – which in most cases will be a VERY short amount of time, maybe even minutes.

To place your order for retiring colors today, contact me at alystamps@gmail.com or 585-360-2667 if you need help! Or, you can click "Shop Now" in the Upper Right Hand Corner and place your order directly online today!

PHEW! A know that was a LOT to cover!!!!! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
