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. 

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.

  • A set of Autumn ‘5 at a time’ cards; with video and free project sheet


    Look at these beautiful cards; all made by stamping one sheet of Vanilla card stock and cutting it into 5 pieces!

    Just like the cards I shared yesterday, they’re stamped with the Tile Garden stamp set seen here. I wanted to create these cards in fall colors instead of the summery colors I shared yesterday.

    Here I used Cajun Craze, Golden Glow and Pretty Peacock with Very Vanilla. I love how they turned out!

    The 2 templates for both stamping and the Pretty Peacock layers are all made from a single sheet of 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. Use them as a cutting guide.

    This first one is for the Vanilla or ‘neutral’ stamped layer.

    This next template is the one for the Pretty Peacock layer; under the stamped Vanilla pieces. I love how you can use your card stock so effectively!

    Both of these templates are included in the free project sheet I created. Click here to print or download it.

    And below is the video tutorial I shared last week with an entire different set of cards! I’ll share another version tomorrow.

    Remember that the join offer ends Saturday! You get an extra $50 in free products when you choose the Starter kit.

  • 5 beautiful cards the easy way; with my ‘5 at a time’ templates!


    Check out these gorgeous cards made with my 5 at a time templates!

    Aren’t they pretty? I chose this stamp set because of the pretty floral images. And I knew they’d make an easy, beautiful background. My colors include Hydrangea Hue, Peaceful Pine and Golden Glow.

    My 5 at a time templates make creating 5 cards so effortlessly! This first template is what I used for my White stamped layer.

    Vertically, make the first cut from an 8 1/2″ X 11″ White CS at 4 3/4″. Then cut 3 pieces from the left section at 3 1/2″. Now cut the other piece at 3 1/2″ wide and cut that into two pieces at 4 3/4″. Save the bottom piece for a greeting layer.

    This next template is for the colored layer under the White stamped pieces. It’s just an 1/8″ larger than the White layers.

    Cut in the same manner as the one above; starting vertically at 4 7/8″. Please watch the video here, or below to see how it’s done.

    I cut 5 card bases for these stamped layers and you can see how I stamped the insides of some above. I love stamping backgrounds; our stamp images are fantastic! And this set has that distinktive feel to the images which gives multiple hues of colors when stamping.

    It’s actually in a bundle with the amazing Tile Garden dies. See the stamp set here and the bundle here.

    I created a free project sheet for these cards and it includes the two templates! Click here to print or download it.

    And below is the video tutorial I shared last week with an entire different set of cards! I’ll share another version tomorrow.
