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.

• Merry, Bold & Bright card kit to go; for both Christmas & Birthdays!

  November 6, 2023

  ---

  I chose the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper for one of my card kits this month because it's filled with fun, bright & colorful designs that can be used for  Christmas, Birthdays or other celebrations.  They're my theme for these colorful cards I created this month.

  Aren't they fun? Each one is a fun fold card that truly shows off the neat prints in the designer paper. I know they don't look like fun folds but they are!

  As I usually do with my monthly kits to go I am including approximately $20 in product along with the pre-cut cards.  You also have the option of getting the PDF tutorial only.  

  This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.  If you'd like to receive a pre-cut cards kit (with extra products to make more) each month click here.  It's $28 plus shipping and they get bonus free products every few months. 

  This kit includes the following: Reserve yours here.

  • 1/2 pkg of the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper (6" X 12)
  • a share of Iridescent white ribbon
  • a share of the Iridescent Adhesive-backed circles
  • the pre-cut cards including punched and die-cut pieces
  • the PDF tutorial (a $15 value)

  The PDF tutorial is an option for those who have their own products.  It's $15 and can be found here. It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list.

  Remember that our Kit Collection kits are all inclusive. This means that everything you need is in the kit.  However you may need a paper snips scissors and I recommend adhesive too. The kits usually include dimensionals or glue dots but if you're a crafter you'll want your own adhesive.
