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.

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.

  The card above is made with Polished Pink CS, Pattern Play DSP, Dots & Checks embossing folder duo and In Symmetry stamp set.  I colored the white ribbon with Polished Pink blends.

• Hat’s Off; a neat bundle with so many possibilities. Video tutorial too!

  June 28, 2021

  ---

  The Hat's Off bundle was a bit of a sleeper to me when I first saw it.  But seeing what other's created with it made me buy it.  

  Once I played with it, I absolutely loved it!  See this bundle here.

  I created this card for my June card clubs.

  I chose these colors; Gray Granite, Real Red, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.  I stamped the background stars with Versamark ink.  I love the tone on tone this ink pad provides. 

  The stars are from the Stitched Stars dies and the texture is from the Checks & Dots embossing folder duo seen here. 

  Scroll down to watch the video.

  Can you see the stitched detail on the hat and the emblem?  These dies are fabulous!  This bundle is a fabulous price point; just $35 for the set & dies!

• Annual HUGE Stamping Sale is Saturday!!

  June 25, 2021

  ---

  Each year my customers and I host a HUGE crafting sale. We sell our excess product to make room for more; or to make money to buy more! 

  This year we have over 30 people participating and this is what is looks like!  Remember most but not all is Stampin' Up! but it is all paper crafting items.  

  This first picture is just a quarter of our 25 tables.  There's lots more inside and out.

  It's in Minot, ND this Saturday, June 26th from 9-3 pm at 429 Cedon Drive.  People who shop at our sale are so happy with the deals they've gotten.  They never want to miss one.

  It's absolutely amazing and the selection and prices are crazy!  It's actually hard for me to see some of the Stampin' Up! products sell at these ridiculous prices.  But then again, what good does it do sitting on a shelf?!  

  Here are some photos of our set up this year:

  If you live near me in Minot, ND I hope you can come.  If you don't, well I sincerely apologize for teasing you! 

  I hope you understand, but I cannot shop for anyone long distance.  There just isn't time as we are open for just a few hours & tear down immediately after the sale while everyone is there to help. It takes a lot of people for this sale to run smoothly. 

  *If you want to come next year we traditionally hold it the last week of June. 

  I am planning a BOGO the end of July and hope to offer my retired products online to everyone.
