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. 

Save

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.

• A NEW catalog bundle – Timeless Arrangements. And a NEW Designer Paper share too!

  April 26, 2023

  If you're near me in Minot, ND I hope you'll plan to come to my New Catalog Launch party on Saturday, April 29th.  It's at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm.

  I have been prepping and working hard on samples, displays, special offers and more. I love to spoil my customers with yummy treats too!

  Would you like to receive every sheet of designer paper in the new Annual Catalog?  I'm doing my usual designer paper share with the new catalog. It includes 12 different packs of NEW DSP.

  It's called Timeless Arrangements and Demonstrators could pre-order it before the catalog launches on May 2nd for customers.  It was one of my top choices; I've made at least 4 cards with it so far and will be sharing them with you in the next week. 

  My colors include Starry Sky, White and Fresh Freesia.  I paired it with a new package of 6 X 6" designer paper called Bright & Beautiful. 

  Here's how I stamped the inside.  I used two of the foliage images on one block and stamped them repeatedly in first and second generation.

  I shared another version in my video yesterday; see it here.  This card features Petal Pink with Starry Sky along with a bit of Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer?

• Dainty Delight swap with a few new colors!

  April 25, 2023

  ---

  Here's my swap for our Flowerbug's 'Fancy Border' theme.  I chose to use the returning color 'Berry Burst' with Black & White.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The embossing folder is called Painted Texture 3D; you can see it here.

  Tip: Need thread or twine to add to your card? I used thread from our White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon under my greeting.  I simply pulled one thread from the ribbon end, smoothed it out with my fingers, and would it into a circle. 

  The flower & leaves die-cuts are from the Dainty Delight bundle; as well as the pretty greeting.  See it here.  The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog however they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

  New items: 

  1. A few flowers are in one of our newest In Colors – Moody Mauve. 
  2. The greeting die-cut is from the new Timeless Arrangements. 

  See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

• Two pretty ‘Fancy Border’ card swaps by my Flowerbugs

  April 24, 2023

  ---

  Here are the last two swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our 'Fancy Borders' swap in April. 

  This first card was made by Sharon. She used the Textured Chic DSP (retired/sold out) and the Around the Bend bundle seen here.

  Love the multiple curvy scalloped borders!! Her colors include Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Calypso Coral. She also used the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here.  This is returning in the new catalog but it will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

  Next is a white on white card made by Ginny.  What an elegant card!

  She used the Fern 3D folder and two sets of dies – Border Basics and Stylish Shapes. Simple & gorgeous. 

  See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.
