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.

This month one of my kits to go features the Santa Express Memories & More cards seen here. I sincerely enjoy playing with these cards & the many extra elements included in them.

Besides the 10 cards & envelopes they'll make with the kit and PDF tutorial I've created some bonus cards they can make as well. Here's a peek at them:

There's no stamping on any of these; all greetings and layered pieces are from the kit itself.

Notice the cursive words and the stars? These are wooden elements included in the kit! I colored them with Blends markers. They're actually nice and thin; maybe around 1/16" in height.

Here's a link to this kit to go. It's while supplies last; so opt in soon!

Scary Cute ‘side step’ fun fold card by Sharon!

October 18, 2022

Sharon shared this card with us at our last Team Meeting. It's adorable!!

Save

Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black & Granny Apple Green.

She said she cased it from Tammy White. The card base is all one piece. It's called a side-step card and here is a link to a tutorial I wrote years ago. She used the Scary Silhouette dies for the left side and the Bewitching stamp set for the hat & boots on the right.

The hat & boots are popped up on the steps with thin strips of window sheets. There is white glimmer paper behind the die-cuts on the front. I love the say she achieved the silhouette under the Black layer. She did this by snipping the green die-cut in half on the sides and moving it down from the top and up from the bottom.

EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

October 17, 2022

I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.

Save

I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler. My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".

I did use a few images from Merriest Moments stamp set as well.

Here is the main template that you stamp on. It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts. I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time. Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock.

Each piece measures 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"

Save

In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above. I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting. If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting.

To see how I did this the link for the video is here.

Save

Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece. In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste! Love that!

What do you think? Are you going to try the 5 at a time templates?
