We have some updates about cling stamps and Stampin’ Write Markers, as well as some exciting news about new coordinating packaging for stamps and dies. 

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)
We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to key raw materials becoming increasingly difficult to source, with some no longer being manufactured at all. We will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.

Stampin’ Write Markers
We have also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, we’ve seen 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.

New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
As part of our transition away from cling stamps, we’re excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, we’re able to offer 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.

Stampin’ Up!’s In Color Sale continues through August 31!

Here are a few things to know about this sale:

• This sale includes select inks, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, embellishments and other products that include these new colors. Products featured in the 2025-2027 In Colors page are included in the promotion (see exclusion below).

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is Animal House—and the Pals are here to inspire you with a parade of paw-some card ideas and paper craft creations, all featuring Stampin’ Up! products. At the end of each post, you’ll find links to all the participant blogs so you can “hop” along and gather ideas to make your own projects roar with personality. 🐾

Today, I’m featuring two 3D projects using the very fun, and very popular Spooky Sweet Suite Collection. The little animals in their full Halloween regalia are so whimsical and cute! The Designer Series Papers are definitely heavier on the SWEET, and lighter on the SPOOKY! Here they are:

I had these 4″ by 4″ frames sitting in my craft room, so I thought it might be fun to create some Halloween decor using the frames and creating a little Halloween scene using these costumed trick or treaters. In addition, I decided to make them SHAKER frames, with sparkly little shaker elements inside the frame.

First, I took the frame apart, and then cut a 5 by 5″ window sheet panel, and adhering to the back of the frame opening. I built the Shaker Frame by then adding Foam adhesive strips around the underside of the frame on top of the window sheet. I then added a background piece from the Spooky Sweet Designer Series Papers. You can leave this 12 by 12″ paper as a longer cute sidewalk scene, or you can cut the little buildings apart!

Before sealing the shaker frame up, I added some Loose Shaker Elements inside. I punched out some of the characters from the sheets with all the punch-outs! I then built my little trick-or-treat scene on the outside of the frame using the little characters, a tree branch, bats, candy corn — whatever! This paper is so fun!

I heat embossed two sentiments from the stamp set onto some coordinating Designer Series paper using white embossing powder, and added those sentimes to the frames, and I was done! I love how the frame sparkles and shakes. This would be fun decor for someone’s desk through the Halloween season!

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Pals. Next month we will create beautiful inspiration for a “Ready for Fall” theme and hope you will join us. Until then, have fun in your craft space.

My Up North Stampin’ Gang tried a new challenge with a fun card design called 3-3-3. Thanks to Heidi Collins at On-Y-Go Stamping for idea.

This is a great design for that time when you need a quick card, or you’re having a creative ‘block.’ Here are the quick directions:

Supplies:

• 3 strips of Designer Series Papers at 1 1/2″ by 4.” they can be the same or different in patterns.
• 3 die cuts, or other stamped and cut images
• 3 embellishments (getting the idea of 3??)
• An A2 card base, either horizontal or vertical

Arrange your patterned strips on the front of the card base so they are evenly distributed on your card borders, leaving a gap between two strips for your sentiment. This can be either between the top or the bottom two strips. Adhere one strip, either top or bottom so you know where to stamp your sentiment.

Stamp the sentiment, and then adhere the other two strips evenly. Have fun placing your die cuts, and then your embellishments. Decorate the inside however you’d like! What a cute and simple card to make with friends or family.

Here are a couple of cards from my Gang — Aren’t they fun, and adorable?

Remember: 3-3-3! It’s easy and asthetically pleasing, AND takes all the guesswork out of it for you! I hope you’ll give this fun card layout and design! Here are the supplies to starting shopping with me!

Charming Day Bundle (English) [166136] $52.00	Floral Charm 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [166125] $12.50	Cloud Cover 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [165621] $14.00
Basic Beige 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [164511] $14.00	Berry Burst Classic Stampin' Pad [147143] $9.00	Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad [150083] $9.00
