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.

Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards

May 6, 2020

I made another group of cards using the Double Wonder template. These are so quick and easy to make and the measuring sure isn't much when you consider it makes 11 cards!

You start out with two pieces of 6" X 12" designer series paper. It does need to be double sided.

Download the template & directions here. Download Double Wonder cards & template

I chose to use the Follow your Art designer paper. It will be perfect for all of my crafty friends and customers. Did you know it's on sale right now? It's just $4.60 instead of $11.50 right now? It's on the Last Chance list here. There are so many amazing deals right now!

I'll show you each set of cards separately. First up is Layout 1. It's fun to mix and match the pieces of designer paper cut from the template. With double sided paper you get quite a few options.

Save

Next is Layout 2 using two 1" strips of DSP on each card. You can jazz them up as much as you want; I kept them fairly simple using punches and die-cuts in my scraps.

Save

Lastly is Layout 3 and the bonus card on the right.

Save

I used the Crafting Forever stamp set (retiring) and just a few colors of ink; Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry for sponging. I did use the Crushed Curry ribbon on many of these cards and the Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins. They are both on sale too!

Don't miss out on the amazing deals; get them while you can. Click here. I doubt we'll have many things on sale for awhile….

Country Club Designer Paper; make a card with NO stamping!

May 5, 2020

I have some friends who are seriously into golfing! They golf almost daily in Arizona. So I knew I had to send her some cards made with this Country Club designer series paper.

Once I had it in hand I realized that one whole sheet has golf images on it! In fact you can get 12 cards from one sheet! Look!

Save

I cut the image to 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" and colored it in with Blends markers. Just like a coloring book! Next I added a layer of card stock to it. Then added it to a piece of the Country Club designer paper along with a 1 1/4" strip of card stock. Easy peasy!

See the Country Club suite of products here online. It looks like all of these items are retiring including this designer paper and twine!

Easy Country Club Fun Fold card

May 4, 2020
At first I thought this Country Club designer paper was just for people who liked to golf. But once I had the paper in my hand it's sooo much more than that! It is full of wonderful patterns and plaids too!

Today I'm sharing a project my Card Club gals received in April. It's a unique fold that really shows of this cool designer paper.

Save

The card opens up in the middle and the back is one flat piece. Here are the measurements:
- Night of Navy 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
- Crushed Curry 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Country Club DSP 3" square on top and 1" X 3" on the bottom.
- Green or Smoky slate strip is 3/4" X 4"
I used the A Good Man stamp set for the greetings. I added a knot of the Country Club Twine Combo pack beside the greeting with a mini glue dot.

Here's the project sheet with directions, measurements and products used. You can download and save it or print it out. Download 2020 April Clubhouse birthday

I'll have a few more cards featuring this designer paper tomorrow.
