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.

Wow! Check out the Magic in This Night Samplers! Remember Punch Art Wednesday?

September 24, 2020

If you've followed me for awhile you may remember I used to do a Punch Art Wednesday post almost every week! I loved creating things with punches. But I've gotten away from that since my business has grown. But I think you'll find some great punch art in these projects!

My Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Halloween sampler swap for a home decor piece. We chose to use the Magic in This Night designer paper as our theme & colors. I had enough pieces to create 2 of them. Look at these!

Isn't it incredible? Each so unique and all together create a fabulous home decor piece!

These 3" squares are adhered to a full 12" sheet of the Magic in This Night designer paper. I'll try to give some details on these squares.

I created the banners from the Word Wishes dies in White card stock. I sponged the upper and lower areas with Pretty Peacock & Cajun Craze inks. I stamped spider webs from the Banner Year stamp set on the White strip.

A mummy made from sponged White CS strips, a sponged night sky & masked moon with fussy cut bats from the Designer Paper and a punched cat on a Metallic Mesh ribbon background.

Save

An owl from the Have a Hoot bundle, a punched pumpkin with the Playful Alphabet BOO and another owl on a Cobweb textured background with Black Glimmer branches.

Below is an entirely different sampler!

These sampler squares are adhered to a 12 X 12" sheet of Pretty Peacock card stock.

From left to right; the first one is made with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set, second is from the Banner Year and far right are bats fussy cut from the Designer Paper.

Save

Left is a tag made with the Banner Year stamp set, the cat is on a die-cut from the Sweet Silhouettes dies & a textured brick 'wall' and last on the right is a punched ghost made with the Tulip punch! The eyes are from the 0's in the Playful Alphabet dies and the greeting from Hallows Night Magic set.
