Notice how I stamped the holly leaves around the edges of the inside of the card!
And then I used Stampin' Blend & an Old Olive ink pad with a Sponge Dauber to 
add color to the holly by the inside greeting.
 Look at these holly leaves!

Notice how I added a little Old Olive ink with a Sponge Dauber 
over these embossed holly leaves for some added color!

IMPORTANT - LOTS OF NEWS FOR YOU-

 IMPORTANT- LOTS OF NEWS FOR YOU

I never look at other demo sites. As I don't have time & I just do my own things anyways. But I had a friend/customer just text me & said that she has seen on other sites that Stampin' Up! is making some changes! So I thought it would be best to share here with all of you my reply back to her.

Yes there are going to be some changes- but they will be good ones!!! I am good with what they are doing. They are all good decisions.

  • SU announced to our leaders last week & then to all demos this morning that red rubber is hard to get now. So this upcoming Holiday Catalog will be the last publication to have red rubber stamps sets in it. There will still be some red rubber stamps available that are in the current 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, but there will be none after that catalog ending date. As going forward all stamp sets will now be photopolymer in the next Annual Catalog in May 2026. 

**But honestly- do you buy a stamp set because it is red rubber or photopolymer? I do not. Honestly I don't even look at that. I am looking at the image of the stamp set & the words included in it. So not having red rubber stamps isn't going to affect me at all. And I hear most customers say that they prefer photopolymer as they are easier to see to stamp with.

  • SU will still have clear cases that our stamp set now come in available to purchase BUT since we don’t need ones that thick of ones any more for photopolymer only stamp sets, the photopolymer new stamp sets will be in clear sleeves. Thus starting in November with the Online Exclusive products the photopolymer stamp sets will now be in clear sleeves that are similar to what our dies come in now. So at that time they will be changing coordinating die cases too to match the NEW photopolymer sleeves & eventually all die cases will be the same sleeve as the photopolymer stamp sets will be in. This is GREAT NEWS for storage!!! I am just thrilled about this!! As we have many clear cases that get broken during shipping too- so now we won’t have to worry about this happening now either.

**So some of you are going to be concerned about how you will store these new sleeves! Well I store all of my dies in their sleeves & standing up in baskets on my shelves. I will continue to store my dies that way & now will also store my NEW photopolymer stamp set sleeves too the same way in baskets! :)

  • Also- Stampin Write markers are being discontinued. The Stampin' Write Markers will be on the last Chance list tomorrow- 8/20/25. The Stampin' Write Markers were going to be discontinued as sales on them are really low & have been now for several years. As Stampin Blends are now the choice of most to color with. I honestly rarely use my Stampin' Write Markers. I only use Stampin Write Markers to color directly onto my red rubber stamps. And I honestly can't tell you the last time that I did that either. Now with red rubber stamps being discontinued we don’t need the Stampin' Write Markers any longer.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions that you might have about any of this!!! Thank you so much for stamping with me!!!  I treasure each of you more than you know!!

Happy Stamping! Hugs- SUSIE
