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.

Today's card is the second one I shared during last week's Live video. I chose to feature the Labeled with Love bundle.

Save

There's just something classy about a mostly white card. To me it seems like there's more focus on the main element – in this card a pretty butterfly tag. And the texture is a quiet backdrop.

Here are some of the products I used:
- Labeled with Love punch bundle seen here
- Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder seen here
- Something Fancy dies seen here

Is this your style of card? Or is it a bit too clean & simple?

This neat fun fold card features the Lily Pond Lane designer series paper and the Labeled with Love punch bundle seen here.

The stamp set is available in a bundle with either a punch or a set of dies. Love that they have these options to please us all.

Save

My colors include Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Pretty Peacock which I got from the Lily Pond Lane DSP seen here. I still have a few card kits to go with this adorable designer paper. See them here; while supplies last.

Save

The card layout includes a quarter sheet on the base and a scored/folded 11" X 4 1/4" piece over it. A few White & DSP layers and that's it! It's quite simple. I did fussy cut the butterflies I added to the right panel.

Team swaps with the Unbounded Love bundle & more

July 18, 2024

Here are a few more of our June Team card swaps. I shared quite a few last week as well. Our theme was to use a new color along with an old favorite.

Lori made this card with Summer Splash and Berry Burst with White.

Save

She added the Unbounded Beauty designer paper, the Deckled Rectangle dies and a Paper Butterfly Accent too. It's also a fun fold card!

It's a Dutch Door fun fold. Making a Dutch Door fold is so simple. To a full quarter card base you'll add a second layer that opens from the side. Her horizontal layer is 8 1/2" X 2 3/4" scored at 4 1/4".

Save

I like that you cannot see the inside greeting layer until you open the card. The greetings are from the Unbounded Love bundle.

~~~

Next is a monochromatic card made by Rita. She also used the Unbounded Love bundle.

Save

Her colors include Peach Pie, Black and White. The DSP is the 2024-26 In Color 6 X 6" pack. She added embossed texture to the background. I especially like how she added that pretty leaf die-cut frame over her stamped greeting. A fabulous idea where you don't have to cut the greeting layer to match the die-cut exactly.

~~~

Lastly is a fun celebratory card made by Joan.

Save

She featured the 'Light the Sky' stamp set seen here online. I love her colors of Summer Splash with Real Red, Black & White.

~~~

Remember that for every $50 you spend in July you receive a $5 coupon to redeem in August on another order!

Bonus Days are a Win Win!!
