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.

Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!

December 30, 2020
Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'. I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night. I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below.

It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change. One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.

You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion. It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.

Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below. Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

Tips:
- This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words.
- Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns. It's fun to mix & match them.

New: Vine Design Dutch Door fold card

December 29, 2020
I made several cards for online swaps featuring products in the upcoming 2021 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalog. This pretty fun fold card was one of them. I gravitate towards anything with leaves or vines so I knew I'd like this set called Vine Design.

The colors here are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Old Olive with White. I used my Stamparatus for the vine image; it's so perfect for multiple cards! Perfect inking and placement each time.

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020
I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.
