Why Join My Team?

• Through Stampin’ Up! and my many decades of paper crafting experience, I offer a space where a community of crafters from all over the world can connect and create together.
• With my monthly in-person classes/workshops, as well as my virtual Craft & Connect workshops especially for my team members, I love to get together and share my love of stamping and paper crafting. And, I'd love to share all of this with you as a member of my team!
• Teammates become friends, cheerleaders, and creative partners who inspire each other with new techniques, styles, and perspectives! Plus, attending events is more fun with a friend by your side. We'll share the work, the laughs, the memories, the swaps, and the photos!

INTERESTING PRODUCT UPDATES FROM STAMPIN' UP!®

Today Stampin' Up!® released three product updates:

CLICK HERE to watch a short, informative video with the news.

Cling Stamps (red rubber)

The company has decided to discontinue the cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While there is currently access to enough raw materials to continue production for the time being, the supply has become increasingly inconsistent, and certain key raw materials are no longer being manufactured. Stampin' Up! is choosing to make this change now to ensure a smoother, more strategic transition—with minimal disruption to us crafters. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer (clear) stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.

Stampin' Write Markers

The company has also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, their alcohol based markers, they’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 they transition away from cling.

New + Improved Packaging for Stamps and Dies

As part of the transition away from cling stamps, Stampin' Up! is 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.

  

These product updates will be phased in, based on product type, between November 2025 and April 2026.
