Cling Stamps (Red Rubber) discontinued due to key raw materials becoming increasingly difficult to source, with some no longer being manufactured at all. Stampin’ Up! will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.
Stampin’ Write Markers also discontinued due to growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends. There has been a steady decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is coloring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we transition away from cling. On the Clearance Rack now.
New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, the packaging will be sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to our current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork as well.
Thank you for stopping by on our September Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world, featuring products from the new Mini-Catalog. Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card picture is a list of links to all of this month’s participating bloggers.
I love Autumn, so I picked up the brand new Amber Autumn Bundle (#165893) to create this card! Both the stamps and dies in this bundle are fabulous!! The card base is Cajun Craze with a layer of Cajun Craze die cut with the background leaf die. It is gorgeous on its own.
I used the Traditional Labels Dies (#165864 ) to cut a label in Basic White to anchor my stamped pumpkin cluster. After cutting the label, I stamped off the acorn cluster in Pecan Pie before stamping on the label. The sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze. Next, I colored the pumpkins, gourd, leafs and grasses with Stampin’ Blends. Stampin’ Up! artists create the most amazing stamp images for us!

The Autumn Trees Bundle (#165900) is so lovely with stunning die cut leaves! The card base is Balmy Blue with a lightly stamped tree in Pecan Pie to the left.

Welcome to our August Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring Get Well and Thinking of You cards. Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card picture is a list of links to all of this month’s participating bloggers. Please leave a comment and tell us what you think of our projects!
Isn’t the scenic Designer Series Paper (DSP) so lovely to work with? The Splendid Autumn DSP (#164173) is one of my favorites and as I start to think of Fall projects, this is perfect!! I started with a card base of Cajun Craze with an extra 1″ strip embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (#164049). The DSP is cut at 3″ to make 2 cards. The tall grass from Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) was stamped in Early Espresso directly on the DSP. I live on the prairie of Illinois and I think these stamps are gorgeous!
I hope you found some inspiration for your next paper crafting project for when you want to send a Get Well or Thinking of You card. Enjoy hopping through the blogs, looking at all of our projects! Please leave comments to let us know you stopped by!
