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.

New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video

December 22, 2021

Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here. I think it's super neat!

Save

I explain how it's done in the video here. Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it. Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

Save

The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.

After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center. Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.

Save

The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.

Below is the video with this project & lots more!

Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video

December 21, 2021
I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared. Follow me on Facebook here.

I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors. This first card is in Fresh Freesia.

Save

I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.

The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS. The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice.

Save

Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower.

Here's a photo of all 3 of them together. Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty!

Save

And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color. The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
- White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4"

A Stunning Christmas to Remember card

December 20, 2021

The picture does not do this card justice! It's stunning in person!

Save

I received it from Bobby, one of my Flowerbug team members. It's elegant in the all White & Gold colors. She added two main layers of the large pine dies; one in white & another in Gold under it offset a bit. Then a few layered pinecones too.

It's made with the Christmas to Remember bundle with White, Gold Foil paper, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots, Gold heat embossing & Gold shimmer ribbon. You can see this bundle here.

Save

The dies are called Christmas Pine Cone dies and can be seen here.
