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 Fall card swaps!

October 5, 2021
Look at these stunning swaps made by my Team. Our theme for September's swap was autumn cards.

Annette created this first one using a innovative sponging technique

I'm sure you cannot guess how she did this …..!

It features the Welcoming Woods stamp set seen here. She used a variety of colors like Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.

Here's how she did it: She gathered up a sheet of plastic wrap and dabbed it in ink a few times. Then she dabbed it horizontally across her stamped image piece. With each color change, she re-rolled the plastic wrap & blended the previous one a bit to achieve a beautiful sunset look.

She added some of the leaves from the stamp set to the inside as well.

Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder

October 1, 2021
Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here. I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them.

First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn. Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry.

It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.

Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one. Neat effect!

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
- Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here.

She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper. This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55. It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards!

Her colors include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Bumblebee.

Measurements:
- Early Espresso card 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
- Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5"
- White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
