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.

I had a few requests to feature the pretty Hand-Penned designer paper for a kit to go. So I had a play with it and came up with these cards:

The flowers are die-cut from the Pansy Petals designer paper. Yes; the Pansy dies match the Designer paper perfectly – 2 sets each of leaves and flowers coordinate!

Here are the measurements for this pretty card:
- Evening Evergreen: 8 ½” X 5 ½” base scored at 1 ¼” and 4 ¼”

The list is long! Sadly some of our very favorites are leaving us. I frequently have people shocked to learn that they cannot get certain items any longer after a catalog retires. So I hope you'll take the time to check the list so YOU are not disappointed later.

Besides the items in the photo above, a few of my favorite items leaving us are:

Happy Thoughts stamp set seen here; I love this set of greetings! It's $21 and retiring.
