If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Changes are coming!
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.
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.
