Important News from Craftyducky HQ!

​Hello, I have lots of Stampin' Up! news to share with you today regarding Red Rubber Cling Stamps, Stampin' Write Markers and packaging for stamps and dies. Below is a video message from Stampin' Up! that covers everything; it is about 6 minutes long, or scroll down for all the information in written form. I am so excited about the new packaging! I'll be able to fit so many more stamps and dies on my shelf! There is a sneak peek of the packaging and new stamps and dies coming in November at the bottom of the email. Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)​ We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to key raw materials becoming increasingly difficult to source, with some no longer being manufactured at all. We will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques. All new stamps released from November 2025 onwards will be Photopolymer, and all Red Rubber Stamps will retire in April 2025.​ ​Stampin’ Write Markers​ We have also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, we’ve seen a steady decline in sales of 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. Stampin' Write Markers will go on the last chance list tomorrow 20th August 2025 and will be available whilst stocks 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. New packaging measures 5-5/8" x 9" (14.3 x 22.9 cm). Stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easy to store bundles and coordinating products together. All new stamps and dies released from November 2025 onwards will be in the new packaging. Existing Photopolymer stamps will be on a rolling change. Existing dies will stay in their current packaging until they retire. ​ You will be able to continue to purchase the current stamp cases if you prefer to use those, and the NEW packaging will be available to purchase as well if you want to move your existing stamps into the new packaging. Do let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way. Finally a little reminder about the 15% discount off 2025 - 2027 In Colour items until the 31st August. I managed to stock up on some of my favourite cardstock colours - Secret Sea and Cloud Cover! I'll be back at the beginning of September with more updates, until then - happy crafting!
