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.

Two more ideas with the Border Basics dies

April 21, 2023

Continuing on to share team swaps featuring fancy borders here is a unique card made by Paula. I would never have thought of this!

Save

She used the Abigail Rose Designer Paper for her card front and the Basic Border dies for her lower edge. The retiring Harvest dies seen here(discounted to $15.20 from $38) are the flowers on the front. She cut the front flap with the dies as well as the back card base! So cool!

The front flap is 2 5/8" wide. Her card stock is Crumb Cake. Love the brass butterflies inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Mary using the Sending Smiles bundle. The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

She used the same exact die as Paula did above; the Basic Border dies are wonderful!

Save

Her colors include Fresh Freesia, Navy, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. She also used the pretty Brass Butterflies on her card front.

The Designer Paper is the Hues of Happiness DSP from the Annual Catalog but it's sold out now.

2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

April 20, 2023

Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average! Wow! They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up. So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.

~~~

This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style. I LOVE swapping with them!

Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.

Save

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies.

She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer. She colored the image in with Blends markers.

~~~

Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.

Save

She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List. See it here.

Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog. It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off.
