What? Whisper White card stock is discontinued! Snowflake Splendor card & bookmark in a pocket


Sad news!  Here's a message from Stampin' Up! regarding our favorite White card stock:

We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

If you love any of these products I recommend you order them ASAP.  Remember there is a limit of 2 per customer. Go here to order.

Here's a few sparkly projects featuring the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  I think I could play with this for the next few months!  Here in ND we're usually in snow through March for sure and usually into April. 

For this card I simply cut a few snowflakes from the White panel and adhered it to the designer paper with Dimensionals.  The greeting is heat embossed using White powder on a Highland Heather Stitched Nested Label and a swirl of Iridescent ribbon is added behind it.  

This pretty paper is on the Closeout Sale happening now here.  It's 30% off while supplies last.  The Snowflake Wishes bundle is returning next year; I've used it a ton! 

Today is the last day to get my Snowflake Splendor kit to go.  It includes these same products: a half pkg. of this pretty paper, Iridescent ribbon and the pretty blue faceted gems plus 10 pre-cut fun fold cards.  That's $20 in product AND the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28.  Go here to get yours.    Or get the tutorial here. 

Here are the directions for the bookmark pocket:

  • Start with a 6” square for bookmark pocket; score lightly at 3”
  • Fold the Designer Paper in half at the 3” mark.  Then fold down the upper corner and glue down.
  • Use Stampin’ Seal on the lower and right side edges to close the pocket.
  • Punch the ends of the Highland Heather strip (1 ¼” X 8”, scored at 4)  and adhere across the lower middle. 
  • Stamp the greeting in Pacific Point ink onto the White Nested label die-cut (1 ½” X 2 ¾” finished size). Add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add a few White snowflakes with Multipurpose Glue. Add a few Blue Gems.
  • Stamp the greeting on the Bookmark using Pacific Point ink.  Add some snowflakes in Highland Heather ink, stamping off first for a lighter hue
  • Punch the upper end with the Fancy Tag Topper punch. Fold a 6” length of ribbon in half and insert the folded end in the front and pull the tails through the loop.  Tighten carefully, one end at a time.

  • See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video


    On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up!  It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  Here's one of them:

    It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….  

    This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc.  It's loaded!  

    These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families.  Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon.  I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.  

    I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it.  Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle.  The circle also helps tone down the busy background.  

    A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.  

    I show how to make the scissors in the video.  You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver.  Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.  

    For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer.  Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us.  The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like.  They thought of everything on this set!!

  • The NEW Annual Catalog starts today! More new catalog launch boards too


    The new catalog goes live today!!  It's always an exciting time when we get a brand new Annual catalog.  

    Check out the new products online here. 

    Each year Stampin' Up! adds a brand new set of 5 In Colors; this year it's Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue and Pebbled Path.  Beautiful earthy colors! 

    Below are more of my New Catalog Launch party displays. 

    This year we said goodbye to 11 colors and now say hello to 11 new core colors!  7 returning colors and 4 brand new! 

    In the photo below the top 4 are our newest colors – Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath and Pecan Pie. I'm so excited about them; we needed these colors!

    Tip: did you know there is a set of both card stock AND Stampin' Write markers?  You can order these without having to order entire packs of each color families.    

    I'm thrilled to have some of these returning favorites back in our color line!  

    Below is my Fresh as a Daisy board.  Beautiful lifelike Fresh as a Daisy designer paper with the Cheerful Daisy bundle; pretty images and fabulous dies. 

    This pretty Fresh as a Daisy designer paper is another contender for my upcoming card kits to go.  I like to use our pretty designer papers as my starting point for the 10 cards I create.  You can see the kits I have available now here. 

    And here is one of my top picks from our pre-order – the Timeless Arrangements bundle.  I shared a few projects in a recent video seen here.  

    Watch the video here (or below) where I share how to use this bundle; the designers were so smart on this one!  The way they added the rectangular anchor pieces is genius!  You can watch a video here where I featured this bundle.

  • Last day for both the Last Chance sale and my In Color special offer!


    Before I share photos of my New Catalog Launch I want to remind you that today is the last day you can order from either the Annual catalog or the Spring catalog.

    Saturday I held my new catalog launch party and I thought you'd like to see my displays too.  Unfortunately I did not receive many of my card swaps in time, but I had some and I had made quite a few samples myself. I worried my boards would be empty but I think they turned out quite well.  

    This first photo shows off two displays; from left to right – the Circle Sayings bundle, the Countryside Inn Suite, the Bright & Beautiful suite and the Little Monkey bundle.  

    Here are a few close-ups of these two:

    this was a clear favorite of many.  I'll be featuring this beautiful Countryside Inn DSP for one of my May kits to go.  Many people asked about the cute baskets; I'll feature them on an upcoming video.  

    And here's the incredible Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" designer paper.  Amazing color combos and patterns!  This is another contender for my May card kits….

    I use inexpensive foam boards from the dollar store and attach my projects with either poster putty or clips.  

    And here are my kits to go boards; I prepped extra kits for my April offerings. You can see and purchase them on my Shop here.  Remember you can save $$ on shipping when you purchase more than one.  

    I'll share more tomorrow; the new catalog goes live May 2nd!!

    Today is the last day to get in on my new 2023-25 In Color special bundle offer. 


    I put together a big bunch of products and then give something free with the purchase. This year it's free gems AND a new ribbon share! Plus I have extra spiral bound catalogs left too!  I can add this to your bundle for free!
