Product Updates

Stampin' Up! has announced some changes to their product range, affecting cling stamps, Stampin' Write Markers, and how our dies and photopolymer stamp sets are packaged. Click here to see a video explaining the changes.
 

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)

Stampin' Up! has decided to discontinue production of cling stamps as key raw materials have become increasingly difficult to source or even unavailable. The last catalogue that will include cling stamp sets will be the upcoming September-December Mini Catalogue. From November's Online Exclusive release onwards, all new stamp sets will be photopolymer. Available cling stamps sets will be moved to the Last Chance category when both the Mini and Annual Catalogue end if they have not sold out. Online Exclusive cling sets will be available until April 2026 at the latest when they will move to the Last Chance category, although some may be discontinued before then.

Background stamps will still be part of our range, but will be photopolymer instead. If you are concerned about using StāzOn™ ink with your photopolymer stamps, cleaning the ink off your photopolymer stamps as soon as possible after use will preserve their longevity.
 

Stampin' Write Markers

Stampin' Blends™ have become much more popular, so Stampin' Write Markers will be discontinued. On August 20th they will move to the Last Chance category. If you have marker sets on your shopping list, don't delay ordering as they are only available while supplies last!
 

New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging

As photopolymer stamps are thinner, Stampin' Up! has redesigned our durable, clear plastic envelopes to be sleeker and slimmer. Both photopolymer stamps and dies will come in this new style of packaging in the same size (measuring 5⅝" x 9" or 14.3 x 22.9 cm), making them easier to store. Die packages will now also feature printed artwork for much easier identification and organization, and the larger size will mean more stamp artwork can be shown at 100%.

All new stamps and dies from November's Online Exclusive release onwards will come in the new packaging. Dies released before then will not be switched to the new packaging and will be sold in the existing style of packaging until they are discontinued. Photopolymer stamps released before November will transition to the new packaging over time, depending on inventory levels, so you may receive some stamps in old packaging and some in new.

Standard Stamp Cases (119105) will still be available to purchase for you to use to organize your stamps and supplies, although they may be discontinued in the future. The new style storage envelopes, Stamp & Die Organizers (167772), will be available to purchase in packs of 10 from November 4th should you wish to transfer your photopolymer stamps and die sets to the new packaging.

Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Floral Charm Suite Collection features detailed roses and foliage, and a rich colour palette combined with watercolour artistry. 
 

The large floral arrangement was cut from Basic Beige Cardstock using the die from the Charming Day Dies. This was then adhered to a folded Basic Beige card base, with Stampin' Dimensionals™ used on to raise up the right side of the die cut on the card front.

A strip of the coral-toned rose patterned paper from the Floral Charm 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 1¾" x 5½" was added to the left-hand side of the card front, overlapping part of the die cut.

The larger floral image from the Charming Day Cling Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink, and coloured using Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends™. The coloured image was then die cut using the coordinating die from the Charming Day Dies, and added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to raise up the left-hand side.

The sentiment was stamped on a rectangle of Calypso Coral Cardstock measuring ¾" x 2¾" using VersaMark™ Ink, and embossed using white powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powders. The sentiment panel was added to the card front, overlapping the coloured floral element, using Stampin' Dimensionals. Petal Pink Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots were added as the final embellishments.
