Substitute for SU confetti cream?

[allisonacorn]

I was bummed to see this retiring. It sold out before I placed an order, and it's apparently hard to find in re-sale. Any decent substitutes for this?

The Naturals Ivory has a much subtler fleck, but is the same weight and feel. I like them both, but use more of the naturals than the confetti.

Stampin' Up's confetti paper is/was:
Fox River Paper company Confetti Cover recycled Color: Ninja

I went looking for it and found that Fox River has been purchased by Neenah (as have several other companies). So it looks like probably the reason SU discontinued the confetti papers is because it is no longer being made by the [new] manufacturer.

However, Neenah does have some other recycled papers that may serve the purpose (look at the bottom of this page):

Thanks for the info. Maybe I can track some down!

You can get Fox River Confetti Cover 80# Card Kaleidoscope from Marco Paper at it is almost the same...I have used it for several years...

I have Fox River Confetti in Kaleidoscope, which is the SU Confetti White, and Ninja, which is the SU Confetti Cream. I just don't find it anymore online.

Karen...do you have a link for Marco's paper? I couldn't find it on there.

Oops, I meant for the paper at marco's paper. I was searching for it on their site and didn't find it.

OK...I went and checked, they do not carry any Fox River paper anymore? It' been about a year since I got my last order, I bought several sheet of different colors...We are up the creek with no paddle now!

Marco's was my go-to place for everything!

Wausau Celebration has too big of flecks to be use in place?

Check Carnival Cover and see if they have the color?

Are you saying both confetti's are being retired? Can you still order them. I seem to be missing a lot on this retiring list. Is there anywhere I can see a text only list of the items retiring? All the pictures seem to be too distracting.

[fionna51]

Yes, both confettis are retiring. There is still confetti white available.

The text only copy is in a thread here in general stamping talk. I'll go find a link and come back.

Here is a link:

The "X" in the right column indicates sold out. Confetti Cream is gone.
Please take note that there's a lot of pages. The items are sorted into sections. The first section is stuff on sale prices...all kinds of stuff. Then by inks, paper, etc.

Also note that any item with a star after the name is NOT retiring but being reconfigured.
