Changes are coming!

August 28, 2025

Stampin’ Up! announced a few upcoming changes last week. I mentioned and explained them in this video.

1. First up is the change in the type of stamps they’ll be offering. Currently we have both red rubber/cling and clear photopolymer. Starting in November all new stamps will be clear photopolymer.

Craft Stamps, Clear Stamps, Decorative Stamps & Cling Stamps

Why? They are having difficulty sourcing the product needed to produce cling or red rubber stamps. In addition they are not selling as well as photopolymer do. It seems most people like the clear stamps; my customers have mentioned this to me too.

So for stamp sets from the current Annual and Holiday catalog here’s how it works going forward. Once they run out of stock of the cling stamps they’ll switch over to clear photopolymer.

2. Next is the packaging. Because most stamps will be in photopolymer after November they will be in new packaging – clear sleeves. These will be approximately 5″ X 9″ in size. They are phasing out the DVD cases. However they will continue to offer them in 4 packs like they currently do. See them here. They will also offer bulk packs of the new thin sleeves as well.

3. The die-cut sleeves will change too and will be the same as the stamp set sleeves. They’ll now have photos of the dies on the cover like you see below.

4. Lastly they are discontinuing our Stampin’ Write markers. The Blends markers are outselling these by far. And because they were originally intended to be used to color directly on red rubber stamps (as well as coloring) they won’t be needed for this.

In my opinion I love coloring with the Blends so much I would never use these for coloring. They leave lines on larger images where the Blends do not. They color so smoothly!

All of our Stampin’ Write markers are now on the Last Chance list and will be available while supplies last. If you love them I’d grab some while you can. See them here.

It's a little deceptive but it is a fun fold card; one I haven't seen before too! Her colors include Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia, Early Espresso and Granny Apple Green.

The Terrific Toadstools bundle from the Spring catalog coordinates with the Toadstool Gardens DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. This DSP is free with any $60 purchase from Stampin' Up.

Corners in Bloom fun fold card

January 16, 2025

I made this card for our monthly team swap using the Corners in Bloom stamp set.

Save

I colored the flowers in with Blends markers in Melon Mambo, Peach Pie & Granny Apple Green. The pretty greeting and die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.

I added the new Bloom Impressions designer paper on the left side; a free choice with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

Save

This pretty Corners in Bloom stamp set is also free during SAB (Sale-a-Bration) – with any $120 order. There are lots of choices you can earn free through February 28th.

Save

We haven't had many corner shaped stamps for a long time and now we have two! I love the many options you have with these line art stamps.

Save

My colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo & Black. This fun fold is called a 'Joy' fold where the two flaps overlap each other. It was perfect for this stamped frame.

Beautiful Butterflies with Mixed Florals swap card; free project sheet

January 15, 2025

Here's one more pretty card I made for an online swap in December. I just love the colors!

Save

I used Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow & Poppy Parade; all taken from the Mixed Florals designer paper seen here. It's from our newest Online Exclusives release. See all of the newest items here.

There's just something about this layout that I love. It might be the balance of the vertical & horizontal layers along with the circle. It just feels right.

The greeting and butterfly die-cut are from the new Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here.

Save

There's so many neat things about this new bundle – the wonderful greetings, the pretty Hybrid embossing folder that matches the butterfly die and the fact that there's a large butterfly die that creates a butterfly folded card front like the one below!
