NEW September-December Mini Catalogue
The NEW September – December Mini Catalogue is live and available for you to view online. All the fabulous new products have been added to my online store for you to browse. This catalogue is full of inspiration for you to share the joy of creativity with family and friends over the many celebrations and festivities that the next few months will bring. There's something for every type of crafter, whether you are looking for gorgeous new suite collections, quick and easy projects, or
scrapbooking supplies.
September's NEW Online Exclusive products are here and you can browse the full collection in my online store.
The Modern Christmas Suite Collection brings a contemporary feel to your Christmas projects, with bold metallics combined with
classic images. The large Gold Hoops (3 5/16", 8.4 cm diameter) are perfect for making decorations, as well as card and scrapbook accents.
The Festive Friends Bundle features cute characters that are the familiar Santa, elf, and snowman holiday icons, along with additional detailed dies to build backgrounds for festive scenes that are perfect for cards and tags.
The Etched Autumn background stamp features a collection of different leaves in a dense collage that's just
waiting for you to add the rich colours of the season to create a stunning seasonal backdrop for your projects. It's not just for Autumn either. Use shades of green and you have a background that will work for Spring and Summer too.
These are only a few of the new products that are now available, and you can see the full range in the Online Exclusives section of my online store. Our Online Exclusive products are initially available while supplies last, so don't delay ordering if something catches your eye.
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.
The postage stamp
rectangle was die cut from Basic White Cardstock using the second largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies. The sentiment, from the Jolly Delivery Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink in the bottom right-hand corner of the die cut. A length of Real Red & White Baker's Twine was looped around the top of the die cut, and tied in a bow in the top right-hand corner. The rectangle was then added to a folded Pool Party card base at an angle using Stampin'
Dimensionals™.
Four of the larger envelope elements were taken from the paper pack's die cut sheets. Two envelopes were adhered directly to the white layer (the first and third in the line), and then the other two added using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thanks so much for spending a little of your Saturday with me. With new catalogues, Online
Exclusives, and some amazing October classes, there’s plenty of crafty fun ahead—and I’d love for you to join me in the excitement!
Whether you’re signing up for a class, trying this month’s sketch, or simply soaking in some fresh inspiration, I hope you find a little time this week to get creative and make something that makes you smile.
Until next time, stay cozy, stay
crafty, and keep sprinkling joy one handmade card at a time.
