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.
