Urgent: Last Chance for Stampin’ Write Markers + Exciting Updates Ahead!
Hey crafty friends!
I've got some exciting (and important!) news to share from Stampin' Up! headquarters. There are some significant changes on the horizon, and I want to ensure you're all informed so you can plan accordingly. Let's dive right in!
🚨 URGENT: Stampin' Write Markers Going Away - Act Fast!
Okay friends, this is the big one that needs your immediate attention! Stampin' Write dye-based markers are being discontinued and will be added to the Last Chance Products list on August 20th.
I know, I know - some of you are probably panicking right now if these are your go-to markers! But here's the thing - Stampin' Up! is making this change to focus more on what we've all been loving lately: Stampin' Blends! Those smooth, rich, blendable alcohol markers have really stolen our hearts, haven't they?
What you need to do RIGHT NOW:
Check your Stampin' Write marker collection
Make a list of any colors you're running low on or missing
Place your order ASAP once they sell out they are gone for good
Bonus tip: Don't forget that the In Color Collections are 15% off through August 31st - perfect time to grab those coordinating markers if you need them!

Saying Goodbye To Red Rubber Stamps
Here's another change that might surprise you: Stampin' Up! is transitioning away from red rubber (cling) stamps to focus entirely on photopolymer stamps, starting with the November Online Exclusives and all red rubber stamps from existing catalogs and older online exclusives will phase out totally by April 2026.
Now, I know some of you old-school stampers are attached to your red rubber stamps - they've been with us for years! But here's why this change makes sense:
Why the switch?
Raw materials for red rubber have become increasingly hard to source
Photopolymer stamps are clearer, making positioning so much easier
They work beautifully with all our favorite techniques
More versatile and precise for detailed designs
The bottom line: This change ensures we'll continue getting high-quality products without supply disruptions.
Exciting New Packaging Updates Coming November 2025
Now for the fun stuff! Stampin' Up! is completely revamping their packaging for stamps and dies, and honestly, it's about time! Here's what we're getting:
The New Look
Sleeker, slimmer packaging that takes up less storage space (hallelujah!)
Matching sizes for stamps and dies - they'll store perfectly side by side
Printed artwork on die packaging - no more guessing what's inside!
New Storage Solutions
Empty Stamp & Die Organizers (packs of 10) launching November 2025
Perfect for keeping your craft room organized and tidy
Your classic stamp cases will still be available too
Bundle Changes
Here's something important to note: stamps and dies will now come in separate packages within bundles, but they'll be the same size and style so they store beautifully together. It's actually going to make organization so much easier!
