Stampin' Write Markers and Cling Stamps


Stampin' Write markers can now be found on the Last Chance List because they are being phased out of the product line. Stampin' Blends will still be available.


In addition to the discontinuation of the Stampin' Write markers, Cling Stamps will also be discontinued. In future catalogs (after the September - December mini catalog and 2025-2026 Annual Catalog) there will only be photopolymer stamps. 

We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While we 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. We’re choosing to make this change now to ensure a smoother, more strategic transition—with minimal disruption to you. We will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.

I Miss Your Face


I am very glad that the Country Lace designer series paper has still been a current product (it is now on the discontinued list) - I just love the shades and patterns, and they work for so many different projects.
