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 cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!

June 10, 2020

Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set. It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps.

First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle. I always love her swap cards!

Save

She used the triple time stamping technique. This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.

Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4". The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.

Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape.

Save

This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking! Love this so much!

And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper.

Save

This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles. My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!

Blossoms in Bloom; cut for 2 cards at once!

June 9, 2020

The Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here was a big hit at my New Catalog open house event last week. Everyone was amazed at the many options you have with the dies and stamps.

Look at these pretty cards! They're made from one set of dies cut in half to create two cards at once.

Save

On these cards I die-cut one full set of flowers with both the thin and the thicker die in White. Then I sponged each of them with the following colors: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.

Save

When you purchase this bundle you're getting a discount of 10% off. It's always nice to get a break on the price. It's also one of the 34 Bundles you can choose free when you purchase the Stampin' Up! starter kit here.

Besides the pretty distinktive flowers look at all of the greetings you get in the stamp set! And the flower dies are nice and large and fill up a standard card fully. Or use just half like I did!

Save

I added some sequins in the flower centers and added a heat embossed greeting from this stamp set to both cards.

The white layer is 3 3/4" X 5", the black is 4" X 5 1/4" on the standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Coastal Cabana card base.

Save

I hope you enjoy the idea of getting two cards from one set of die-cuts. I have more cards to share with you featuring this bundle; it's quite amazing!

Jar of Flowers shaker card

June 8, 2020

I'm sure many of you have seen cards made with this pretty Jar of Flowers bundle seen here. It's one of our reversible stamps; you get the outline and the solid jar on one stamp! It's only $36.75 for the bundle. I know it's going to be a go to set for many of us. I have lots of ideas with this set and I love that it comes with Mason Jar Shaker Domes!

Save

I just had to try making a jar filled with water & beads! When I bring flowers into the house from the garden that's usually how I display them.

Save

Mine is filled with clear hand sanitizer (I had it right beside me) and our new Flowers for Every Season gems. And with my method the sanitizer does not leak out onto the card stock!

I stamped the flowers in Soft Suede and colored them in with Blends markers – Daffodil combo, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron. I added the ribbon in two different ways. On the left I secured it behind the dome. On the right I adhered the cut ends on the dome. You can see how I did both on the video below.

Save

I hope you take time to watch it; you'll get tips on making a liquid filled shaker card and on coloring with the Blends too.
