by Joanne James20. August 2025 11:26I'm here today to share news of some exciting product changes that Stampin' Up! has just announced and a roundup of the latest kits and a reminder of this month's in-color promotion. First up there's updates about cling stamps, Stampin' Write markers and new stamp and die packaging:
Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)
We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While we 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. We’re choosing to make this change now to ensure a smoother, more strategic transition—with minimal disruption to you. We will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.

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 Transition
|
Cling 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 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 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.
Stampin' Write Markers
In Addition, we have also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is colouring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we transition away from cling. As of today 20 August 2025, all Stampin’ Write Markers will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last.
New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
As part of our transition away from cling stamps, we’re excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, we’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 our 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.

Next up is a quick overview of the latest kits new available that I haven't shared here. Links to each to find out more and purchase n the online store are included below - please note some of these are discounted if you purchase this month as they are included in the current in color promotion:
Some great kits in there - a lovely home decor kit and fun Halloween kit that would be perfect to make up with children, in addition to some pretty card kits too.
A reminder that the current in-color promotion runs until the end of the month, so you still have time to take advantage of the 15% discount on products featuring this year's in-colors - you can find everything included in this promotion by clicking on the image below:
Finally, it was recently announced that moving forward there will be no annual Sale-A-Bration promotion; instead there will be a monthly Product of The month promotion. This will begin next month, but in the meantime, if you missed any of this year's Sale-A-Bration items, many of them are available to purchase currently in the Last Chance section of the online store, whilst supplies last.
That's everything form me today; if you need more information on any of the above, please do get in touch. Back later in the week with a creative post - until then, happy stampin'!
