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.

The Gorgeous Leaves of Holly bundle is not just for Christmas!

October 14, 2022

The Leaves of Holly bundle is back! It was unavailable for awhile but it's back in stock now.

I made this pretty card for last month's Flowerbug's Team swap. The theme was Fall or Halloween. I wanted to show that this bundle isn't just for Christmas. What do you think?

Save

I used Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and a bit of Old Olive here. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments set seen here.

After I stamped the card panel I felt it was a bit busy so I added a layer of Vellum card stock over it. I love the soft feel that the vellum gives!

Here's a peek at the Leaves of Holly bundle. It's full of pretty images and wonderful dies. The greeting die-cut with the leaves attached is my very favorite; see it on the bottom left below. See it in my store here.

Save

For added texture I added sponging around the edge and on the die-cut leaves.

You can see another group of cards I did on a video I just shared. It features my 5 at a time templates.

Pretty Soft Seedlings card & video; an easy fun fold layout

October 12, 2022
I've sure been enjoying the Soft Seedlings stamp set. The pretty maple leaf has so much texture and depth and the greetings are some of my favorites. I think I've used it more than any set in the Holiday catalog!

Save

We just purchased a red maple tree and planted it in our backyard this weekend. It's red foliage is beautiful!

For this card I chose to stamp the leaves in two colors – Soft Suede & Coastal Cabana. I know they're not correct leaf colors, but it's fun to go outside the box at times.

Save

It's one of my favorite fun folds; so easy to do and it can be jazzed up easily with elements & greetings.

I chose to stamp directly on one of the Leaf Label elements in the Leaf Label & Amber gem combo pack seen here. Unfortunately they are out of stock right now; but it will be available again in November.

Save

The package includes 25 leaves and amber gems too; all for $8. They're so fun to play with; you can add texture, or stamp or sponge color on them.

Save

It might be hard to see the measurements in the photo above. Here they are again:
- Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- Soft Suede 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
- Vanilla 3” X 5 ¼” (2 pieces)
Here's a photo of the inside. I kept is simple since I'll use it as a thank you card.
