Welcome to the We BEE Stamping Blog Hop. Wee are so glad you joined us. When we decided on a title of this Blog Hop, we only knew that the In Colors for 2021-2023 should be retiring. I was a little sad, as I truly loved these colors and thought they were the best grouping of In Colors we had had in a long time.
Well to our surprise this week, we learned that the Fresh Freesia will be staying as one of Stampin’ Up! Core Colors. How exciting is that? Stampin’ Up! is having a Color Refresh with the release of our Annual Catalog in May. Not only are we retiring the 4 In Colors, we are retiring twelve of our core colors: Bermuda Bay, blushing Bride, Mango Melody, Merry Merlot, Mint Macaron, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, So Saffron and Soft Suede, This means all pad, refills, card stock, Stampin’ Blends, ribbon, and accessories is these colors will be retiring too. The Good News, is that April 4th many of these items will be featured in the Last Chance Sale from the Annual Catalog. You will want to act fast, as these items will not last long.
I used the Around the Bend Bundle from the January-April Mini Catalog, which will carry over to the Annual Catalog, but not as a bundle. So if you don’t order now, you will loss that bundle discount when the New Catalog comes out. I used three of the In Colors that are retiring on this card. Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Polished Pink. I also used the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon which will be on sale at 60% Off on April 4 for only $2.80 a roll. What a steal, as this ribbon was $7.00.
I love the Fresh Freesia and love that it is becoming a Core Color with Stampin’ Up!. I used the New Online Exclusive Products Elegant Borders Dies and the Basic 3D Embossing Folders on this card. The Delicate Loose Flower Flourishes add the perfect accent and are another item that will be 60% Off on April 4th. You will get 60 pieces for only $3.00. WOW What a deal. The stamp set used on this card is Decorative Borders and is found in the January-April Mini and will be on the Last Chance Product Sale from the Mini for only $18.40. I just love this stamp set with the Elegant Borders dies.

Beautiful cards! You’re making me want those dies 🙂
That’s the idea. We all think we don’t need something, until we see them used.
think I’m going to need those dies too! Thanks for sharing.
So grateful, I was able to convince you both you DO need these dies.
