Big News, Crafty Friends! Updates, Classes & a Colorful Sale

I have a LOT of exciting things to share with you today, so grab your favorite drink (and maybe a snack—you know how I ramble when I’m excited!). Here’s what’s happening in our crafty world:

First, a Little Life Update

On August 10th, I took a dramatic fall. And let me tell you—if falling were an Olympic sport, I’d be bringing home the gold! Recovery has been S L O W (slower than drying glitter glue, honestly).

You know that saying, “When you make plans, God just laughs”? Well, He’s definitely having a good chuckle over here!

Because of this, I’ve had to step away from the studio more than I planned. But don’t worry—I’m still creating, dreaming up future projects, and I’m always just a message away if you need help.

Paper & Product Samplers Are HERE!

Like many of you, I’m a visual person. (Translation: I like to see it, touch it, and hold it up to my face before I decide.) So, I’ve put together sampler packs to make your decision-making easier!

Here’s what’s included:
✔ Cardstock Color Ring – All the plain and two-tone cardstock cut into adorable 2” x 2” squares and organized alphabetically on a metal ring. (Flip through it like a color fan!)
✔ Designer Series Paper Samplers – Every single DSP from the September Online Exclusives AND the new Mini Catalog—that’s 13 collections! Each one is cut into 4” x 6” pieces and stapled together in neat stacks.

These are ready for you to order, and they’re open to ALL crafters and Demonstrators. So share with your friends! [Click here to grab yours].

New Packaging at Stampin’ Up - Save Space In Your Craft Room

Stampin’ Up! Says Goodbye to Cling Stamps

Yep, you read that right. Cling stamps are being retired! Why? Because the raw materials needed to make them are harder to find than a clean spot on my craft table. Some of the key materials aren’t even being manufactured anymore.

Here’s the plan:
✔ Starting November 2025, all new stamps will be photopolymer.
✔ The last catalogs with cling stamps will be:

Sept–Dec 2025 Mini Catalog
2025–2026 Annual Catalog
✔ After that, they’ll move to Last Chance Products and sell while supplies last.

But here’s the good news: We’re getting sleeker packaging! Both stamps and dies will now come in matching, slim, clear envelopes with printed artwork for easy ID. Hello, extra space in the craft room! (Translation: More room for new stuff!)

What do you think about this change? Love it? Hate it? Let me know in the comments!

Love Florals Scrapbook Workshop – This Friday!

It’s happening this Friday, August 29 at 3:00 PM (PST)—we’re assembling the gorgeous new Lovely Florals Scrapbook Workshop!

Now, confession time—I accidentally made the workshop unavailable to order early. Oops! It will officially be available on September 3rd, but I’m still doing the class as planned and will record it for anyone who wants to watch later when their goodies arrive.

Even if you don’t have your product yet, feel free to pop in, say hi, and hang out. I’d love to chat with you while we craft!
