Changes are coming!

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.

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. 

Save

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.

• Greetings of the Season fun fold card with video & free project sheet

  July 16, 2024

  ---

  I'm loving the new Season of Green & Gold suite of projects that was released in the Online Exclusives this month.  Check them all out here. There are tons of online extras that are not seen in any printed catalog. 

  Today's card is gorgeous if I do say so myself!  It features the new Greetings of the Season stamp & die bundle and this gorgeous Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper.

  The card is a simple fold back with an extra layer added for the designer paper. It also has a textured layer on the left front fold as well.  Lots of great but simple additions that puts it over the top. 

  Look at the greeting here: The new Greetings of the Season stamp set is loaded with stand alone and builder sentiments.

  The stamp set is fabulous but look at the dies! Each one has a hole for ribbon or twine. But look at the sample above; they didn't use them at all. 

  I shared two versions in my video; one with a gold printed piece of DSP on the front and the other with a striped one. Which do you prefer?

  There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects.

• Season of Green & Gold Dutch Door card with free project sheet

  July 15, 2024

  I shared this pretty Dutch Door card on last week's FB Live video. You can also see it here or scroll down a bit and click on the video.  

  Today's card is a Dutch Door card fold made with Mossy Meadow & White CS.

  If you've never made a Dutch Door fold I hope you try it once you see how easy they are.  It's a quarter sheet of CS in the back and a full long piece that's scored in half adhered to that.  See how it opens?
