Tomorrow, November 4, will be new Kits in the Kits Collection at Stampin’ Up! and new Online Exclusives available to everyone! I think it is so much fun to frequently be getting new products even if it keeps our heads spinning trying to keep up! Here are three examples of the new packaging Stampin’ Up! is beginning to use! These are new Online Exclusives you will be able to order tomorrow, and if you do, you will get the New Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set & Die Packaging!

If you recall, back in August Stampin’ Up! announced several big changes. The red rubber cling stamps would be discontinued and all stamps would be photopolymer (the clear stamps) eventually. The reason for this is that the red rubber raw materials were getting harder to source. Since the photopolymer stamps are thinner, the packaging would change from the hard plastic stamp cases to a similar kind of packaging dies have been coming in, the sturdy, durable clear plastic. This saves space and you can, if you want, put the stamp set and dies together in one envelope. A big plus is that artwork of the stamps AND dies will be included with the package. One odd thing is that while dies and stamps now have the same name, the stamp set packaging shows the name of the stamp set boldly at the top. The dies say “Stampin’ Cut & Emboss” at the top with the name of the dies in small print just above the artwork! So some of us may still need our reading glasses!

Those of you with fantastic organizing skills may find this new packaging either an exciting challenge or a new problem! I don’t think I plan to change over any of my old things into new packaging, but some people will want to. Stampin’ Up! is selling plain envelopes if you want extras for other sets you have. These are called Stamp & Die Organizers (167772) and will be available starting tomorrow in the Online Exclusives. You get 10 organizers, 5-5/8″ x 9″, with a self-tuck closure. These will help you organize your products to be all the same if you like. You can also purchase empty Standard Stamp Cases in the Online Store if you have any need to those for your organizing.

We’ll hear lots more about these changes in the coming days and as you get some new products in the new packaging you will decide how you want to store your stamps and dies or if you even want to change the way you do it now. These envelopes are taller than the die packaging we have now. You’ll just have to see how everything works for you! But don’t be surprised if you get new packaging in your next order, depending on what you order.
