Yesterday, I moved my daughter to Illinois, and now I’m officially an empty nester! For the record, I’m not sad. I’m excited! There’s now more space for me to craft. LOL
While I was away, Stampin’ UP! announced some big product changes. Here is a quick rundown:
1. No more red rubber stamps- only photopolymer. Rubber is getting harder and harder to source.
2. Stampin’ Write Markers are being phased out. They are now on the last chance list, so get them while you can! I’ve linked them below.

3. Stamp sets will soon come in the same packaging as our dies. Our packaging will now have a graphic with the contents of the stamps & dies on it! Don’t worry, though…you’ll still be able to purchase the clear cases if that is what you prefer.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of the upcoming changes, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to help or be your sounding board.
