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.

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.

  It's a great time to get those items on your wish list or from the Holiday Catalog. 

  Local gals, let me know if you need anything; I'll be ordering in the evening.

  My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous!  I shouldn't be surprised at this point!  

  Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.  

  Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  Look at her amazing coloring!

  The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog.  She used Blends markers for her coloring.  Love that face!

  The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog.  The circles are from the Layering Circles dies. 

  It's also a fun fold 'latch' card!  Here's the inside view:

  Measurements:

  • Highland Heather: Card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Side flap is3 1/2" square
  • Black: 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" & 2" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
  • White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

  In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.

  Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back!  I just love her playful circles layout!

  She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green.  She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.  

  The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!

  Measurements:

  • Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border 
  • White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
  • Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!

  I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live.  It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!

  I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

  The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

  Here are the measurements: 

  • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
  • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
  • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

  For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

  This Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit is still available while supplies last!  You can choose between the full kit here for $20.50 or the refill here (without the stamp set & ink) for $11.
