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.

• Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

  January 25, 2023

  ---

  We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend.  As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.  

  First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen.  She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set.  It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.

  Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud!  She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly.  Genius!  I plan to share her technique soon.  

  She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

  Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

  It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping.  My favorite types of stamp hands down! 

  Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

  Measurements are: 

  Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4" 

  ~~~

  Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you.  She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

  Can you see what is so unique about it?

  The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front.  It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges.  I love this idea!  You could add a bookmark in the same way.  

  Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

• Desert Details WOW card

  January 24, 2023

  ---

  I spent time playing with the Delicate Desert suite and this is what I came up with:

  I LOVE how it turned out!  I really wanted to use the Dry Brushed specialty paper along with the Desert Details bundle seen here.  The dies in it are so cool! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The two large rectangles and dies for the stamped flowers are just a few of the dies included.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  My colors include Petal Pink & Soft Succulent. I cut two of the open leaf dies from the center of the Dry Brushed large shape, leaving the outer frame intact. No one but me knows there are empty spaces under the White layer! 

  You can see the Dry Brushed metallic specialty paper here.  It's simply stunning!

  There are two of each sheet in this package of 12" metallic paper for $8.

  I added a few of the Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed sequins on this card too.  They're also part of the Delicate Desert suite seen here.

  I hope you enjoyed this project; it came together so easily.

• Sweet Country Bouquet cards & treat box

  January 23, 2023

  ---

  Jane shared this 'sweet' card and treat box she made at our Flowerbug's team meeting yesterday.  They were for her monthly Club gathering.

  I think they're super cute and had to share them with you.  

  She featured the Country Floral Lane suite; especially the Country Bouquet Bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the Country Bouquet punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock until possibly April. The heart and leaves would be easy to fussy cut though.   

  She used the Scalloped Contour dies were used on the front and back of her box using the Country Gingham DSP seen here; a simple hand made box is between them to add your treats to.  I might have to make one to share with you!

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I love the greetings added with banners on the front!  She gave me the following measurements for the box: 

  Start with 6" X 5 1/2".  Score on the 5 1/2" side at 1 1/2" and 4". Score on the 6" side at 2 1/4" & 3 3/4".  Cut up to the score lines on the 6" side.  Form your box. 

  For her card she used the Country Floral Lane DSP seen here along with Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Mint Macaron.  Love the layout!

  Mary made this pretty card for our Team swap also featuring the Country Floral Lane DSP.  She also used the Love for You Bundle seen here.

  That 'Love' die-cut from the White layer placed on the angle adds a fun playfulness to the card.  Her hearts and leaves are punched directly from the Country Floral Lane DSP with the Country Bouquet punch. She cased the card from Mary Fish. 

  Measurements:  DSP 3 1/2" X 3 3/4", Sweet Sorbet is 3 3/4" X 4", Petal Pink 2" X 2 1/2", White is 2 1/2" X 1 1/2" 

  Thanks for stopping in today; more to come every day of the week; Monday – Friday!
