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.

  • Easy Treat Bag with video & free project sheet!


    If you ever need a fast & easy way to gift treats or a small gift I recommend this quick treat bag. I shared how to make it in a recent video and you can scroll down to get the free project sheet. 

    It's made from a piece of designer paper that's 8 1/2" wide X 6" tall.  The bag is 4 3/4" tall and about 4" wide at the top.  A nice size!

    The 'Boo' bag is made from the Them Bones designer paper and the tag is also from the paper.  It's part of a full sheet of individual panels you can use for cards etc.  

    I made the Boo bag before the video and the Christmas bag during the video. See this video here.  

    Below is a photo of it open.  I added about 6 small candy bars inside and there was room for more yet! The layered greeting tag holds the bag closed with a mini clip.

    Below is the template but it will help quite a bit to watch the video tutorial here. 

    The treat bag below is made from the O Holy Night designer paper and the Stars at Night bundle.  This pretty paper has the beautiful nighttime scene printed on it!

    I punched two holes in the top of the bag to thread the Silver & White ribbon through for a tied bow. This ribbon is a new favorite; it's sparkly and thin so it's easy to work with. Unfortunately it's out of stock until mid November.

  • Trucking Along window fun fold card with video & free project sheet!


    Today I'm sharing one of my October card club projects; it features the Trucking Along punch bundle.  See it here; it's now back in stock!! 

    I used an easy technique on the window and tire rims. See how they're a soft white?  Using our White Craft ink pad, I grabbed a bit of White ink with a blender pen and colored these areas. You can add more color if you'd like it whiter, but I like the almost opaque look.  

    Note one card has presents and the other a tree in the truck bed.  These are stamped on a separate piece of White paper and fussy cut before adding to the truck. 

     

    I created two options for my Club members; a birthday or a Christmas card. This Truck bundle has a wide variety of stamps & greetings.  I did use the Happy Birthday image from the Enjoy the Rhythm set and the inside Christmas greeting from the Brightest Glow stamp set.  

    Click on this link to download or print the free project sheet.  It includes photos, supplies, measurements and step by step directions.  Download Oct 23 Trucking Along window card

    As you can see in the card above and the one below; it's easy to switch themes with this fun card. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card, another fun fold and an easy treat bag too!  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!
