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.

Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!

October 13, 2023

Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects!

Save

The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually.

First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

Save

She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base. Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him! The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Here's the Them Bones designer paper:

Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite. She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

Save

The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper. You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.

Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut. She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.

This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton. Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!

Save

These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here. Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.

Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper. Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.

Save

Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!

This next card shows off a neat background effect. She used the Deckled Circle dies

Save

The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it. Cool!

Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully! Fantastic job Candy!!!

Pick of the Patch Diamond Flap fun fold card.

October 12, 2023

I created this super fun card on a video a few weeks ago. It features the Pick of the Patch stamp & punch bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.

Save

I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here.

She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here.

Save

Here's the inside view. You can see the Leaf Fall embossing folder here.

This card starts out at 10 1/2" X 4 1/4" and with a few score lines and a trim of the end points, you'll achieve this neat fun fold.
