Make a Memory Scrapbooking Workshop...

I got together with some local friends this weekend to create 8...YES, EIGHT...double-page layouts featuring the Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit.

By adding extra cardstock, some loose gold sequins, and some gray twine, this Kit got a GLOW-UP!!!



GOOD NEWS is that, by purchasing these items from my website, I will email you the pdf instructions to make your own! It's that easy! Give me 24 hours (just as a disclaimer....most emails will be sent out in a matter of minutes)

What if you already have some of these items? Simply place a $75 order (before tax, shipping, and redeemed Stampin' Rewards) and you can still get the pdf instructions!

Here's the list of supplies - ADD TO CART - then delete what you don't need and add what you need to meet the minimum order of $75. It's that easy!

If you're somewhat local, let me know and we can gather at your home with some of your friends and make them together 😊

Check out my reel-walk through by heading over to my Instagram Account - I'll walk you through all the layouts this Workshop makes!


Packaging, Markers, and Clings Oh My...

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.


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.
  • Packaging is clear with an insert that displays stamp or die artwork for quick and easy identification—yes, both stamp and die packaging will now show artwork!
  • Larger packaging dimensions allow us to showcase more stamp artwork at 100% on the insert.
  • Sleek, slim design will help you and your customers store more in less space.
  • Envelope closure includes a tuck-in flap for quick and easy opening and closing.
  • Packaging is sized to fit a variety of organization systems.

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.

What's Happening

When

Phasing Out Stampin’ Write Markers

On August 20, 2025, all Stampin’ Write Markers will move to Last Chance Products* and be available while supplies last.

*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.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)

We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While we currently have 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. We’re choosing to make this change now to ensure a smoother, more strategic transition—with minimal disruption to you and your customers. We 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

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.

This or That - Painterly Pears...

I love a good THIS or THAT and this is a good one!

I recently created two projects with Painterly Pears from Stampin' Up! 


One used the Stamp and Die bundle and I was able to customize the color of the pears to fit my project.


The other used the Dies and the DSP (Patterned Paper) and it was EASY PEASY.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, my question is to you...which one do you prefer (based on my artwork)...


Just a heads up...the Suite and DSP are LOW INVENTORY - so head on over to my website to grab it before it's gone.

If you're readying this before the end of day Friday, July 25th, you'll get FREE SHIPPING on your qualifying order of $75 so keep that in mind 😊
