Big Changes!

There are some very big changes coming to Stampin’ Up! product lines. The details are all below and there is a video from Stampin’ Up! at the end that explains the changes and why they are being made. If you look closely at the photos about the packaging, you might get a look at a stamp set being released in the November Online Exclusives!

Stampin’ Write Markers are being discontinued.

Stampin’ Up! have 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. All Stampin’ Write markers were moved to LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS as of 20 August 2025. If you have been wanting to get these markers, now is your LAST CHANCE! Grab them now. Once they’re sold out, they’re gone forever.

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber) are being discontinued.

Stampin’ Up! 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 to customers. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.

What’s HappeningWhen
Photopolymer TransitionStarting with November 2025 Online Exclusives, all new stamps will be photopolymer.

Last Online Exclusives to Include Cling StampsSeptember 2025 Online Exclusives
Mini Catalogue Cling Transition*In December 2025, all cling stamps in the September–December 2025 Mini Catalogue will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. No cling stamps from the mini catalogue will carry over.
Annual Catalogue Cling Transition*In April 2026, all cling stamps in the 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. No cling stamps from the annual catalogue will carry over.
Online Exclusives Cling TransitionCling stamps released in Online Exclusives until 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 Catalogue and/or 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue 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.

New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging

As part of the transition away from cling stamps, Stampin’ Up! will 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. The new packaging is similar to the 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.

What’s HappeningWhen
New Photopolymer Stamps and Dies in New PackagingAll 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, 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 2025Dies 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 StampsNo 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.
