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. 

Save

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.

• Stunning cards in the New Horizons card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option

  April 4, 2022

  ---

  I couldn't decide which Designer Paper to feature for my April card kit to go so I did a poll on my Facebook group.  The majority asked me to use the New Horizons DSP.  I was leaning that way myself but their overwhelming response sealed the deal.  

  Here's a peak at the cards in this month's kit.

  This paper almost makes the card itself! The scenes are so beautiful you don't need much to finish them off.  Because of that this month's kit includes an extra set of 2 bonus cards for a total of 12 instead of the usual 10.

  This kit is what my monthly kit subscribers will receive.  Opt in for the pre-cut kit by April 18th. It's $28 plus shipping. 

  You'll receive the following in your kit:

  • 12 pre-cut cards, die-cut & punched pieces
  • 1/2 pkg of the New Horizons 6 X 6" DSP
  • a share of Pebbles Enamel Shapes
  • a share of 1/8" cotton combo ribbon
  • the PDF tutorial with photos, supplies, measurements & step by step directions. 

  You will need the following to complete the cards:

  1. Paper Trimmer, adhesives, Black, Blackberry Bliss & Evening Evergreen inks
  2. Stamps – I used the On the Horizon stamp set but you can substitute what you already own.  #Add on the stamp set or bundle at 10% off and it will ship with your kit! *message me here to get a total if you want to add on the stamp set or bundle 

  Click here to get the PDF tutorial.

  Click here to get the pre-cut kit to go (best deal)

  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  The kit will ship out at the end of April, barring any back-orders.  

  Here's a recent comment from a customer: I just received my kit loved the way you packaged it together I have bought other kits and yours is one of the better ones. The PDF is simple to understand for me and I so appreciate the time it took you to do all this. Many thanks.

  April 1, 2022

  Happy April 1st!!!  It even feels a bit like spring is coming here in North Dakota.  I've been able to get out for walks again lately without worrying about slipping on ice.

  I wish we had real tulips out but it's too early here. 

  Here are two more Matchbook style cards featuring the Flowering Fields designer paper and Flowering Tulips stamp set.  The set includes lots of greetings and many different tulips too.

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
  • DSP 3 3/4" X 5 3/4" scored at 4 5/8", 3/4" X 4" lower strip
  • CS layer 4" X 5"
