Back in late August Stampin’ Up!® made the announcement that the cling stamp line (the red rubber stamp line) would be phased out soon and that stamp sets moving forward would be produced in photopolymer. Along with these changes, stamp & die sets would be transitioning into sleeker, slimmer packaging. More details about these changes can be found here.
So in late October after getting a few of these newer stamp & die sets in my hands and hearing thoughts and seeing ideas from many fellow demonstrator friends, I shared on YouTube my plan for adapting to these changes and how I would be setting up the new packaging for easy use in my craft room. Watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post).
Today I posted a follow-up/part 2 video on YouTube sharing how I’m transitioning my older stamps & dies to the new packaging and how I am organizing them on my shelves. Be sure to watch that video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post).
Change can be hard. And I admit I was frustrated when I first heard the change-in-packaging news back in August. But the adjustment is going well for me now, and I guess I surprised myself for how soon I wanted to transition my products and space. I hope what shared in these two videos is helpful to you.
Here are a few photos to help remind you of the tips I shared. And at the bottom of my post you’ll find links to products I mention in the videos.

It’s the first in their new Creatures line. And it was inspired by my blue morpho website “mascot.” Visit The Country Hive to shop today.
On The Go Suitcase Boxes Yesterday I went live exclusively with my Supporter Members of my YouTube channel. And I demonstrated these adorable On The Go Suitcase Boxes for them. One of the perks of being a Supporter Member (on the second tier of membership) is an exclusive Live each month. It’s a more casual, relaxed Live. In fact I made even more mistakes than usual…Hahaha! But it was a fun morning hanging out with everyone.
February 2025 Kit Together Cards Here are six new alternates that I created the Notes From The Heart Paper Pumpkin Kit. This kit contained supplies for 3 sets of 3 cards. So for my February 16th Kit Together event I mailed each participant 1/3 of this kit. And from that we created these six cards. Event attendees joined together virtually on Zoom for 2 hours of fun and creativity. I demonstrated how to make these cards. And we also took time to socialize, laugh & have fun, and work on our own kits or other projects. There were prize drawings at the end, an ordering special, and I emailed out the recording of the demonstration along with a PDF tutorial for all the cards. It was a lot of fun!
The instructions, tips, supply list, and measurements are exclusive for those that took part in the event. But I at least wanted to share images of the cards I demonstrated to give you a little creative inspiration today AND to entice you to sign up for a future kit together. The extra stamp set I recommended (and used in my samples) is Wonderful Thoughts. If you’d like to take part in a future Kit Together, make sure that you are subscribed to my newsletters so you will be the first to get notices.
Thanks for stopping by today!

My November Paper Pumpkin kit arrived, and I just designed my first set of alternate projects using the contents of this unique kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share many of them today. I’ll share more on December 6th. And one of them I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling…projects we will share just with our personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members (more details below).
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make 8 festive mini Christmas stockings with tags. Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients other ways to use their supplies. I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I’m sharing with you several ideas for altering or repurposing the stocking AND four cards that I made with the tag pieces.
Watch my videohere to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
Short & Long Hat Treat Holders/Accents
Horsey Treat Wrap
Stockings With “Greenery” (One is embossed!)
Four Cards Made With the Tag Pieces
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. (The refill typically shows up in the online store soon after the 20th.) It doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

Summer is my favorite season. And I’m sad to see the warm weather going away. So with my mind on the activities of a hot August afternoon at the lake, I put together a dragonfly birthday card using summer colors and images.
Then I made multiples of this card to send to those in my Stampers With ART group with September and October birthdays. I tend to make fall cards for Autumn birthdays. But I don’t think anyone will mind getting a little glimmering dragonfly card this year instead.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Happiest Day Stamp Set, the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder, inks with Blending Brushes and Daubers, the Modern Oval Punch, Festive Glimmer Paper, Stampin’ Blends Markers, Wink of Stella, and other coordinating products from Stampin’ Up!®. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

Do you ever do that…order just the stamp set (or just the dies) thinking you had ordered them both in the bundle? That’s what I did with the new Online Exclusive, Sophisticated Sled. But now I have the both in my hands. And I’ve put together some fun fold cards featuring the skates and sled images from this bundle. I’m excited to share!
Because it was so similar to the these outside-in fun fold cards that I shared back in January, I extended the name to “Diamond Outside-In” cards. But this fun fold card has also been called the Diamond Fold Card or the Diamond Flip Fold Card.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with the newly released Sophisticated Sled Stamp Set & Dies (products from the Online Exclusives), Thoughtful Journey Patterned Paper, Winter Meadow Patterned Paper, coordinating cardstocks and inks, and other Stampin’ Up!® products. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
