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.

On this week's Live video I shared 3 pretty projects featuring the new Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming Holiday catalog. Here's the first one:

Save

The colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, White and Calypso Coral with a few Copper elements too.

I stamped the background on the Petal Pink card base using one of the leaf images in Petal Pink ink. The textured White adds a soft background to the many leaf die-cuts.

Save

Can you spot the main difference between these two cards?

Save

I used one of the dies in the Splendid Stems dies for the greeting piece on the right card. Which do you prefer?

And here's my favorite card I shared in the video. I cased the idea from my friend Lorri Heiling. It's so simple but super special with the foil stitched squares and die-cut leaf. There's something extra special about this leaf die-cut. Can you tell what it is?

Save

It's hard to see in the photo but the entire leaf is on dimensionals. What?! Yes! I adhered a piece of White card stock to our Foam Adhesive Sheets seen here and then die-cut it all at once. So not the entire leaf is popped up. So cool and easily noticed in person.

Save

The card above is made with a copper colored foil piece and the one below is in Fresh Freesia. I also added an extra textured layer to the card base.

Save

The greetings are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. A thin strip of Fresh Freesia CS under the greeting pulls it all together.

Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.

June 30, 2022

Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle. I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.

Save

I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts. I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique. I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS. I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.

Save

The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink. The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other. Here's what the entire suite looks like. It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

Save

You can get a share of this beautiful paper in my new Holiday Catalog paper share. Reserve yours here now!

Save

I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink. I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.
