Tami’s Mystery Box De-Stash Sale

Thanks to the help of my amazing friend, Deb, I've been in the loooooong process of clearing out my retired/discontinued Stampin Up products. I've been a demonstrator for over 16 years, and haven't cleared out retired products in at least 10 years! WHAT?!?!?! I was literally 2 steps away from an episode of Hoarders. Some of this was painful to say goodbye to, but I need to "de-stash", so I can "re-stash". All of my old Stampin Up crafting products need to go to good loving homes. I am hosting my first ever "De-Stash" event, and it will be epic. We have sorted my old products and stuffed (and I mean stuffed) USPS Medium Flat Rate Boxes full of a variety of products.

Sad news – Purple Posy to be discontinued after today

Purple Posy Ink To Be Discontinued

{From Stampin Up 11/5/2019} Despite our efforts to resolve issues with Purple Posy ink, we have learned that the ink color is still shifting over time. This means that the color is coordinating more loosely than we typically allow with our colors. Due to these ongoing challenges, we have decided to discontinue Purple Posy classic ink. As of November 5, 2019, the following items will no longer be available to purchase:
  • Purple Posy Classic Stampin’ Pad (item 150084)
  • Purple Posy Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (item 150091)
  • 2019–2021 In Color Classic Stampin’ Pad Assortment (item 150087)
We are unable to replace Purple Posy ink pads for customers or demonstrators who have already received them. However, anyone with concerns regarding the color shifting properties of their Purple Posy ink pads may contact Demonstrator Support and we can offer a $7.50 usd/$10.25 cad coupon code as compensation. The coupon codes will expire on January 1, 2020.
All of Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive ink colors are run through a vigorous series of tests to get ahead of challenges like this, and to ensure colors are accurate and meet our standards of coordination. Purple Posy did pass regular testing standards in time-simulating ovens, but we have now identified that it fell short when it came to actual time passing. The color begins to shift once the ink has rested in the ink pad for about six weeks. It is rare for Stampin’ Up! or our ink manufacturer to have such persistent issues with ink; Purple Posy has certainly been an anomaly. We completed full testing on 11 distinct batches of Purple Posy Classic Stampin’ Ink before releasing the current version. We are now confident that no additional efforts would uphold our coordination needs over time. We appreciate your patience as we have worked through this manufacturing difficulty and regret that we are unable to share better news. We are dedicated to serving you the best we can, even in situations like this. We have a full line of fantastic colors and products that we offer that contribute to beautiful crafting and superb coordination. We continue to be committed to offering color coordination across all our product lines.
