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.

More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

September 13, 2023
Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video. If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!

Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here.

This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.

My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted. I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.

Measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”. Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
- Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”
Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue. These colors pair beautifully together.

This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers. You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.

The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge. I cover that up with the inside white panel.

Measurements:
- DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
- Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
- Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
- White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here. My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!

Below is the video where I made three of these cards:

One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!

September 12, 2023
On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.

Save

These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold! The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here. You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:

I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off this is the layout I use.

Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements:

Measurements:
- DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically. From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
- Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
- White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”
Save

I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.
