*With Stampin’ Up!’s backorder policy where numbers are turned off for ordering if they go on backorder, if the adhesive that you pick is turned off for ordering when I place the order on the 16th, I’ll order Stampin’ Dimensionals for you instead.

Stampin’ Up! Back Stage

Posted on November 14, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are starting to look forward to the weekend. I’ve had quite a few emails asking about Tara and my next Online monthly class. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to do it as we planned with the holidays and life just getting in the way. We will resume the monthly classes starting in January, hope to see you then.

I just spent the past 4 days in Las Vegas for our Back Stage Conference. This was the 1st time I was able to go, and I was so excited. We stayed at the Red Rock Casino Spa Hotel, and this was my beautiful view every day.

Every morning, I would get up and open the curtains so I could look out at the beautiful mountains. I was on the 14th floor, so I was able to really admire them. They look like paintings, but they are not.

Once we registered, we got a heavy canvas bag filled with swag. We received a T-Shirt, Notebook & Pens to take lots of notes.

Amy stopped by my room before we headed down Monday for lunch to drop off this gorgeous gift. She is too thoughtful. I just love this necklace, it’s the perfect size.

Monday night there was a little stamping event that we could participate in, we did stop by, but didn’t do any stamping. We were all exhausted from traveling and the time change.

Everything officially started Tuesday morning and as you can tell, it all had a western theme.

They did a few recognitions, which is something they don’t normally do. I had to stand for a couple and one I had to walk up on stage. Anyone that knows me, knows I do not like getting up on stage or in front of people, but I did it and had to tell everyone my name and where I’m from.

Amy, Mary and I stopped for a photo by one of the props they had props in the hallways for.

On Wednesday, after my brain was on complete overload, they passed out copies of the January – April 2026 Mini Catalog. I really enjoyed the whole experience and all the sessions I went to. I was taken out of my comfort zone multiple times so now I’m ready to get back to my normal quiet life. Our next fun event will be OnStage in March in Long Beach CA, which I am so looking forward to.

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 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’ 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 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.

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:

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.

I’m excited about the changes…I LOVE photopolymer stamp sets and the new packaging looks awesome! If you want to check out a video with some details about the new products and a preview of what they look like, you can find it right here:

Stampin’ Up! Tax Free Holiday Coming!! 2 more Days for Fundraiser for Texas Floods & Creative Stamping Designs Retirement List Updated

Posted on July 18, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning stamping friends. How was your week? I spent the entire day yesterday house sitting for my son so that repairs could be done and he could go to work. Of course, I didn’t’ bring anything other than older Paper Pumpkin kits to put together, I figured I’d be home in time to make a card for today. I will do almost anything to help both my son and daughter even if it means putting myself to the side.

Sales Tax Holiday Starting Soon

Twelve states and Puerto Rico are having Back-to-School Sales Tax Holidays this year and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states!

The states with upcoming tax holidays are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. So if you live in one of those states or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!

Here is the list of states having sales tax holidays, what the dates are and what supplies will be tax free during the holiday (click on the image to download a full-size printable page):

Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.

*********************************************************************************************************

Today and Tomorrow are the last days for my Fundraiser

Currently I will be donating $180 to Mercury One for the flood victims. I know you all can help to reach my goal of $500.

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th. It’s beyond horrible. Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially. I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now. I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation.

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
- You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
- Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses. Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine. One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.

*********************************************************************************************************

The prices listed are at least 50% off the original prices, so my bundles are the original 10% off then my 50% off on top of that.

Great New Feature – Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!

Stampin’ Up! has been asked many times “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” I’m excited to tell you that you will now be able to do just that!

If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually.
After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.
When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns.
We hope this new feature makes shopping even more convenient for you!

Latest on Cloud Cover Ink Pad

Stampin’ Up! let us know the issue with our Cloud Cover ink is complex. An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when the ink is paired with the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads, resulting in a shift in the color of the ink.
While there’s no silver lining to reverse the chemistry causing the fluctuation in color, we have identified several ways to make the most of the situation.

Alternative Options:

Because the actual Cloud Cover ink formula performs well before it’s added to a foam pad, all is not lost for customers who want to get in on the inky action. Our Stampin’ Spots are made using felt, and we haven’t seen this unpredictable chemical response occur with this material.
At the time the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog is available to order, we will offer the Stampin’ Spot Assortment Pack (166716), which will include the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot! This product will be available to customers and demonstrators.
The Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot won’t be sold outside of the assortment pack, but you can pair the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with the Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822) to achieve a consistently accurate hue. Plus, the ink refill is a very technique-friendly product in general, making it a great core supply to have on hand!
While these solutions don’t provide a full-sized ink pad option, they do give access to the ink.
You can also ink your stamps using the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker, available in the
2025–2027 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (165292) collection. This technique works especially well with cling stamps.

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class. Don’t forget when you place those order today to sign up for our class.

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)

Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.

A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.
