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.

January Hearts for You alternative card idea

January 31, 2025

Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit.

Save

Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red. It's fun to experiment a bit!

Save

Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit. They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products. It is really fun to change things up at times.

Save

Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else! And they're usually only $12. Wow! See this one here

A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions

January 30, 2025

Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap. I love her colors and layout so much!

Save

Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination.

She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up! See this gorgeous paper here.

It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?

Save

The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.

The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2". Both front flaps are textured.

Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch. I love, love this punch so much! *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can!

Save

There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too. It's called Bright Borders.

Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card

January 29, 2025

Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.

Save

I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper. My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock. The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.

Save

The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square. Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP). So simple!

I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video. If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.
