by Tracy | Aug 22, 2025 | Stampin' Up! Card Kit
I recently purchased the Brighten Your Day Kit from Stampin’ Up! and it did not disappoint! It can be found in the Online Exclusives part of the Stampin’ Up! store! You will receive all that is in the picture below. This particular kit doesn’t come with a stamp set, the sentiments are already printed for you!
These are the cards that I made using the Brighten Your Day Kit. On a side note, I didn’t use the Baker’s Twine that comes with the kit. It’s supposed to go under the sentiment but when I try that it doesn’t come out right and I’m not happy with the results! The kit comes with nine cards to make and nine envelopes, that are just as pretty as the cards.
Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals come with this kit but I did roll some Glue Dots into little balls to make them fit on the stencils.If you’d like to purchase this kit, you can do so below in the Supply List.

Cling Stamps Are Going Away
Stampin’ Up! made an announcement yesterday about cling stamps, Stampin’ Write Markers and New Packaging for Stamps & Dies. If you received my newsletter yesterday, you know that changes are coming our way in the Stampin’ Up! world.
Stampin’ Up! has decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While Stampin’ Up! currently has 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. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.
| What’s Happening |
When |
| Photopolymer Transition |
Starting with November 2025 Online Exclusives, all new stamps will be photopolymer. |
| Last Printed Catalogs to Include Cling Stamps |
September–December 2025 Mini Catalog and 2025–2026 Annual Catalog |
| Last Online Exclusives to Include Cling Stamps |
September 2025 Online Exclusives |
| Mini Catalog Cling Transition* |
In December 2025, all cling stamps in the September–December 2025 Mini Catalog will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. No cling stamps from the mini catalog will carry over. |
| Annual Catalog Cling Transition* |
In April 2026, all cling stamps in the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. No cling stamps from the annual catalog will carry over. |
| Online Exclusives Cling Transition |
Cling stamps released in Online Exclusives through September 2025 will be supported—based on demand—until April 2026 at the latest. Some will likely discontinue prior to April. |
| Final Transition |
In April 2026, all remaining cling stamps across our offering will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. |
*Please note: Some cling stamps in the September–December 2025 Mini Catalog and/or 2025–2026 Annual Catalog may sell through their remaining inventory prior to the December or April Last Chance Products updates. In those cases, the products will move directly to the Discontinued Products List rather than appearing in Last Chance Products.
Stampin’ Write Markers
Stampin’ Up! has also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, 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 we transition away from cling.
On August 20, 2025, TODAY, all Stampin’ Write Markers will move to Last Chance Products* and be available while supplies last.
You can shop here for Stampin’ Write Markers, here! Or see them below.
*While we typically only update our Last Chance Products during the first week of even-numbered months, we’re making an exception for this transition.
New Packaging for Stamps & Dies
As part of Stampin’ Up! transition away from cling stamps, Stampin’ Up! is excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, they’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. You can read below about the transition to this new packaging.
| What’s Happening |
When |
| New Photopolymer Stamps and Dies in New Packaging |
All new stamps and dies starting with November Online Exclusives will come in the new packaging. |
| Transition for Photopolymer Stamps Released Prior to November 2025* |
Photopolymer stamps released prior to November will transition to the new packaging with a rolling change. During this time, you and your customers may receive some stamps in old packaging and some in new. Transition will vary across markets based on inventory levels. |
| No Transition for Dies Released Prior to November 2025 |
Dies released prior to November will not transition to the new packaging. They will be sold in their existing packaging until they are discontinued. |
| No Transition for Cling Stamps |
No cling stamps will transition to the new packaging. |
*Some photopolymer stamps may move to Last Chance Products, sell out, and discontinue prior to transitioning to the new packaging.
Packaging Details
- New packaging measures 5-5/8″ x 9″ (14.3 x 22.9 cm).
- Stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easy to store bundles and coordinating products together.

by Tracy | Aug 19, 2025 | Halloween Card, Stampin' Blends
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Spooky Halloween Bundle, Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Shimmer Star Foam Stickers. I also used Stampin’ Blends to color in the cute dog!
I started with Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. I layered a piece of Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and then adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the dog onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Spooky Halloween stamp set. I colored the dog using these Stampin’ Blends: Light & Dark Crumb Cake, Light Petunia Pop and Light Granny Apple Green. I cut the dog out using the Spooky Halloween Dies. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the dog.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle out of Basic Black cardstock (2nd largest circle die). I added the dog to the front of the circle.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Spooky Halloween stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To finish my card, I added two Shimmer Star Foam Stickers to each end of the sentiment and I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

by Tracy | Aug 15, 2025 | Appreciation Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (this is an Online Exclusive and on sale in the month of August), The Right Words Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems (an Online Exclusive).
I started with Berry Burst cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of my card.
I layered a piece of Floral Charm Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut another piece of Berry Burst cardstock (the largest square) and layered it with another piece of Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the square ( second largest square) and adhered them together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using The Right Words Stamp Set in Berry Burst ink. I cut it out using the 3rd smallest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals only at the top of the sentiment and adhered it the square.
To complete my card, I added three Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots to the front of the card, and also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

by Tracy | Aug 14, 2025 | Friend Card
The card I’m sharing with you today is a fun fold card. It’s the same layout of Monday’s card, but I made one tweak. You can see Monday’s card, here. I used Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive and on sale for the month of August), Perfectly Pears Stamp Set (an Online Exclusive), Nested Essentials Dies, Low Profile Sparkle Dots (an Online Exclusive and on sale for the month of August but they are in Low Inventory status).
I started with a base of Darling Duckling cardstock (on sale this month). Then, I scored it (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added a piece of Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper to the back panel and one to the front panel.
I cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock and added a panel of Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper to the front (you’ll need to look at the picture to see how it goes on the card). I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the Old Olive panel.
I then used Multipurpose Glue to adhered the Old Olive piece to the inside of the card (the front flap will go in the front).
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Perfectly Pears Stamp Set in Old Olive ink. I cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies using the smallest rectangular die in the set. I cut the next larger size rectangle in Old Olive cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the bottom right of the Old Olive flap. I did the sentiment there because I didn’t want to cover up the beautiful paper. To complete my card I added three Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow to the front panel.
