Good Morning Stampers & Crafters! There’s some exciting updates coming to Stampin’ Up! Products!
Change can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, but it also opens the door to fresh opportunities, and that’s exactly what’s happening with Stampin’ Up! products. While a few longtime favorites are being retired, we also have some exciting improvements on the way that will make our crafting experience even better.
Saying Goodbye To Cling Stamps
Due to the unavailability of key raw materials, Stampin’ Up! has made the decision to discontinue the cling stamp line. Although many of us love our red rubber stamps, you can rest assured that a wide range of photopolymer stamps will continue to be available. These stamps are versatile, durable, and support all kinds of artistic techniques.
Retiring Stampin’ Write Markers
As Stampin’ Blends have grown in popularity, sales of Stampin’ Write Markers have naturally decreased. Since one of the markers’ primary techniques was coloring directly on cling stamps, it makes sense to retire them alongside the cling stamps. The good news is that our beloved Stampin’ Blends are here to stay, offering even more creative coloring options.
New & Improved Packaging
This is where it gets exciting! Stampin’ Up! is rolling out updated packaging for both stamps and dies. The new cases will be slim, sleek, and consistent in size, making them easier to store side by side. Best of all, the die packaging will now include printed artwork so you can quickly see exactly what’s inside—no more guessing!

Moving Forward Together
I know this is a lot of change all at once, and it may feel like saying goodbye to some old friends. But I truly believe these changes will make our crafting experience easier, more organized, and even more fun. And don’t worry—I’ll keep you posted with reminders, updates, and helpful tips along the way.
Stampin’ Up! has always been about creativity, connection, and community, and I’m confident these updates will keep us moving forward in a positive direction.
