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.

Seriously the Best Cards with Golden Honey Folio gift pouch & video

February 10, 2020
I made this gorgeous cards & folio pouch project two weeks ago on Facebook Live. Join me each Tuesday at 11 am CT. Follow my FB page here.

I chose to use the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper for my color inspiration. It's Black, White with Gold foil accents. Measurements and details are below.

As you can see I made a few cards with just black, white and gold. Then I added color on the other with Melon Mambo & used just the black and white DSP. You can add any of your favorite colors to this pretty paper; Black and White is just the beginning!

Here are the measurements for the folio pouch and cards.
- Folio is 8 1/2" X 11". Score on the long side at 5 1/4" and 5 3/4". Score on the short side at 6 1/2".
- DSP on the front is 4 1/2" X 5 3/4" and the white layer is 4 5/8" X 6"
- Cards measure 4 1/4" X 9"; scored at 5 1/2". DSP is 3 1/4" X 4" and 1 7/8" X 4".

I did have trouble getting a good photo of the actual colors on this one. I added Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon and Champagne rhinestones to this one. I cannot resist adding these when I can. They're beautiful!
