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.

3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay

August 5, 2021
Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle. Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

Save

I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz. Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.

Save

The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut. Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle:

Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!

August 4, 2021

Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts. She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!

Save

I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card. The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows!

She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.

The Pretty Pumpkins bundle slipped right by me!

August 3, 2021

I regret not ordering the Pretty Pumpkins set after seeing what my friend Marilyn made with it. Look at these gorgeous images!

Save

She made them for my New Catalog launch last week. I think they're simply beautiful and that greetings font is beautiful!!

Save

She made 3 cards for our display and this is the second one. I'll share the last one soon.

The pretty paper is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. I believe she used the baby wipe technique for the left pumpkin. For the right one she added Wink of Stella to the die-cut pumpkin.

Save

Again; look at the stunning font on this fabulous greeting. I have so many friends I'd give this card to!
