My Feelings on Stampin’ Up! Changes are mixed. I am really excited about some of the upcoming changes, but I’m also sad about others.
Cling Stamps: Red Rubber stamps have been a staple for Stampin’ Up! since they started. Lately, I have had a love/hate relationship with them. I have to pay close attention so I don’t get ink around the edge of the stamp. That ink line showing up on my card is not fun. I really like Photopolymer stamps because there is no excess material to make an unwanted line. Photopolymer is nice, seeing exactly where I am stamping.
I will miss coloring directly on the stamps with Stampin’ Write Markers. This is a technique that I have not used in a while.
NO Cling Stamps will carry over from the 2025 Annual Catalog or the 2025 September Mini Catalog. Starting with the November Online Exclusives, ALL Stamps will be Photopolymer.

Stampin’ Write Markers: I will miss these for my coloring spurts. It is also nice to write inside your card with a Marker that matches your card. These are now on the Last Chance List and available while supplies last.
Stamp & Die Packaging: I am mostly excited about this change. Having both packages the same size will be nice. It will be nice have pictures for both Stamps and Dies. Lots of stamp sets will now be able to fit in a smaller space. I will need to stamp the images inside the Paper Envelope so I know which stamp is missing…
My Stamp Shelves will be too short to fit the new height. On the other hand, I did find a container that will fit them. I am slowly working on reorganizing my Craft Room. It was nice to find out these changes while I am in the planning stage.
Here Are When the Changes Will Take Place:
Stampin’ Write Markers are now on the Last Chance List and are available while supplies last.
Cling Stamps: Those that are in the Annual Catalog and the September Catalog will retire when the Catalogs do. Some Stamp sets may be available while supplies last. The 2026 Catalogs will only have Photopolymer stamps.
Current Packaging:
~Stamps and Dies in the Annual Catalog and the September Mini Catalog will have the current packaging.
~The current Stamp cases will be available for a while. They will be reevaluated at a later date
~Current Dies that carry over will have their current packaging.
Starting November 2025:
~All NEW Stamps and Dies will be in the NEW packaging.
~Stamps will only be Photopolymer
~You will be able to buy the NEW empty packages starting in November.
