Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.

1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

• 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.  

  Save

  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.  

  Save

  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. 

  Save

  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!  

  Save

  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.
