Tuesday Tip

Tuesday Tip – For the new stamp packaging, take the”flimsy” piece of plastic off the stamp sheet, ink all of the stamps and stamp them on a piece of Basic White.

Adhere this to the inside back of the folder. You can see where each stamp is on the sheet and which one is missing!

Do you have a stamping tip to share?

Changes to Stamps and Dies Packaging

  • 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.
