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.

Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo

June 15, 2020

Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.

I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week.

I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive. Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

What do you think of this color combination? I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.

The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers. The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering. I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock.

The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern.

The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

Flowers for Every Season

June 11, 2020
The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.

I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video. Here's a link to it on Facebook.

This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color. Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion. Monochrome cards can be so soothing!

I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch.

Measurements:
- Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
  CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
  CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
  Greeting banner/punch

Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.
