Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Trees for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great short week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead. I’ll be starting to cut up all my shares today once my order arrives, so if you ordered a share from me, I’m hoping to be shipping them out by early next week.

I played with a couple new products for today’s card, both in the mini catalog and online exclusives. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! made some announcements today about changes coming to their stamps, stamp and die packaging and Stampin’ Write Markers.  Here are the updates:

Cling Stamp Sets (Red Rubber)

Stampin’ Up! has decided to discontinue their cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials.  While they 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.  They’re 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.

Here are some specifics about the transition from cling stamps to photopolymer:

What’s HappeningWhen
Photopolymer TransitionStarting with November 2025 Online Exclusives, all new stamps will be photopolymer.
Last Printed Catalogs to Include Cling StampsSeptember–December 2025 Mini Catalog and 2025–2026 Annual Catalog
Last Online Exclusives to Include Cling StampsSeptember 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 TransitionCling 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 TransitionIn 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’ Up! Write Markers – Discontinuing and Available While Supplies Last

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 stamps.

Here are a few details about the Stampin’ Write Markers:

What’s HappeningWhen
Phasing Out Stampin’ Write MarkersOn August 20, 2025, all Stampin’ Write Markers will move to Last Chance Products* and be available while supplies last.

New Improved Stamp and Die Packaging

As part of Stampin’ Up!’s 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 (yay!!).  The new packaging is similar to their 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.

Here are a few details about the new packaging:
