And the exciting news continues…

Stampin’ Up! have made some changes to the labels that we place on the back of our red rubber stamps. They are now VERY STICKY so you won’t ever again be frustrated by stamps falling off the blocks.

Stampin’ Up! are calling stamps with the new sticky labels “Cling stamps”, and they were first introduced in Japan beginning with their 2018-2019 annual catalogue and have been a smashing success since then.

A few things to note:

  • Beginning with the 2019 occasions catalogue and Sale-A-Bration brochure, all new stamp sets will be available either in cling (for red rubber stamps) or photopolymer. 
  • Stamps in the 2018-2019 annual catalogue will continue to be available in clear-mount, wood-mount or photopolymer.
  • Red rubber stamp sets (clear-mount or wood-mount) in the annual catalogue that will be carrying over will transition to cling with the 2019-2020 annual catalogue.
  • In 2019-2020 annual catalogue, clear-mount and wood-mount stamps* will no longer be available.

Labelling cling stamps is a slightly different process than you may be used to. Once you place the label on the stamp, it is adhered permanently so you have to be careful. There are instructions in the set so just follow those and you’ll be fine. To remove the stamp from the block, grasp securely near the image label and remove slowly. (Cling stamps stick so well that if they are not carefully removed from the block, the foam can tear.)

I’ve been using them for quite a few weeks now, and I can tell you that they are absolutely awesome. Even though the rubber part is exactly the same as it was before, the improved labels which clings to the block will make your stamping experience even more enjoyable.

Just a reminder that the brand new Occasions catalogue goes live on January 3rd. I’ll post links to the online catalogue here, or you can request a hard copy. If you placed an order with me in the past year, then a lovely big envelope should be on its way to you (if you don’t already have it) with both your Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure. But of course, if you’re concerned, please contact me.
