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.

Beautiful cards with the new Perched in a Tree bundle!

July 25, 2022

This bundle was one of my first purchases from the new 2022 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. I love this birch tree die-cut and made a bunch of these cards for an online swap last month.

Save

It creates a pretty window of birch trees that can be the star of the card. I simply sponged a bit of Crumb Cake ink over a few areas and added it to a Pool Party layer. The greeting is also from this bundle and is stamped on a die-cut from the All That dies in the Annual catalog. The angled Soft Suede die-cut behind it is also from the Aspen dies in this bundle.

My friend Susie Wood sent me this gorgeous card last week. She created a fall themed card with Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze. I LOVE her multicolored leaf! She inked it in a lighter color and sponged Cajun Craze over the upper edges before stamping and fussy cutting it. It and the greeting are both from the Soft Seedlings stamp set seen here.

I hope you enjoyed seeing two totally different projects with this pretty bundle!

Last of the Men’s card series today!

July 22, 2022

Have you been enjoying my week of 'masculine' cards? With today's cards I've shared 16 ideas for the men in our lives! If you haven't seen them all you have a few options. Click on each of the links below.

If you're reading these in an email you're not seeing the entire blog and cannot see the following posts. Be sure to click on the heading of this post to get to my actual blog and scroll backwards. These swaps have been so special & incredibly creative!!

The first card today is made by Ginny. She used our new Masking Paper to create the neat background stripes!

Save

Her colors are Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Calypso Coral. She used the 'He's All That' bundle seen here for her stamps & dies. I love how she die-cut the neat detail dies from her sponged paper!

~~~

This next striking card was made by Marla. She used the new Ringed with Nature bundle seen here. It's in our new Holiday catalog and comes with a Tree Rings embossing folder.

Save

I absolutely love that she used a pop of Poppy Parade cards tock here. We tend to use muted colors for guys, but many of them love color like women tend to.

Her colors include Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Mint Macaron & White. I wish you could feel the texture she achieved on her stamped tree ring! And aren't those mushrooms adorable?!

Save

Next is a super layered card made by Brenda using the He's the Man suite. See it all here online.

Save

Her card was inspired by Brian King; her colors by the camping themed sheet in the He's the Man DSP. She has Early Espresso, Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake & White on her card.

I certainly hope you've been inspired by the 16 manly cards I've shared with you this week. My Flowerbug's Team is SUPER talented!

Remember if you'd like to be a part of my Team you can choose to purchase the Starter Kit which is always a great deal! Our group is growing; we have people from across the country and would love to have you join us.

It's a $99 order and you can choose $125 in products of your choice. Then you get a 20% discount on all of your Stampin' Up! purchases and can take part in my Team swaps, challenges, online groups & more! Of course it's all optional; many of my Team members are simply savvy shoppers; enjoying the discount but not holding classes or actively selling. You can do it YOUR way!
