Stampin’ Up! made some announcements today about changes coming to their stamps, stamp and die packaging and Stampin’ Write Markers. Here are the updates:
Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)
Stampin’ Up! has 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. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.
Here are some specifics about the transition from cling stamps to photopolymer:
| What’s Happening | When |
| Photopolymer Transition | Starting with November 2025 Online Exclusives, all new stamps will be photopolymer. |
| Last Printed Catalogs to Include Cling Stamps | September–December 2025 Mini Catalog and 2025–2026 Annual Catalog |
| Last Online Exclusives to Include Cling Stamps | September 2025 Online Exclusives |
| Mini Catalog Cling Transition* | In December 2025, all cling stamps in the September–December 2025 Mini Catalog will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. No cling stamps from the mini catalog will carry over. |
| Annual Catalog Cling Transition* | In April 2026, all cling stamps in the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog will move to Last Chance Products and be available while supplies last. No cling stamps from the annual catalog will carry over. |
| Online Exclusives Cling Transition | Cling stamps released in Online Exclusives through 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 Catalog and/or 2025–2026 Annual Catalog 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 – Discontinuing and Available While Supplies Last
Stampin’ Up! has also 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. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is coloring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we transition away from cling stamps.
Here are a few details about the Stampin’ Write Markers:
| What’s Happening | When |
| Phasing Out Stampin’ Write Markers | On August 20, 2025, all Stampin’ Write Markers will move to Last Chance Products* and be available while supplies last. |
*While we typically only update our Last Chance Products during the first week of even-numbered months, we’re making an exception for this transition.
New And Improved Stamp And Die Packaging
As part of Stampin’ Up!’s transition away from cling stamps, Stampin’ Up! is excited to 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 (yay!!). The new packaging is similar to their 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.
Here are a few details about the new packaging:
| What’s Happening | When |
| New Photopolymer Stamps and Dies in New Packaging | All 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, you 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 2025 | Dies 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 Stamps | No 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.
