Easy Kite Delight Friendship Card

This sweet, simple little card features nothing but happy images! The Kite Delight stamp set was used to create this card. The card sits on a Daffodil Delight card base and involved some simple ink blending for the background, stamping and fussy cutting of some of the images. A few Glossy Dots were added to finish the card. The Kite Delight stamp set can be found in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog and will be retiring soon! If you enjoy the happy images in this stamp set, grab it before June 30. After that date, the stamp set will no longer be available. And, it’s on sale!

product update – magnetic cutting plate

Stampin’ Up! relaunched the Magnetic Cutting Plate for use with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine after redesigning and rigorously testing the plate. Unfortunately, they are now finding that with mass production, a defect in the manufacturing process is causing the plate layers to separate after use. This is not an issue Stampin’ Up! has experienced in the past and they are currently working with the manufacturer to determine its cause.

After extensive additional testing it has been determined that the relaunched Magnetic Cutting Plate does not meet the standard of quality that Stampin’ Up! expects of their products. As a result, they have decided to turn this item off (effective immediately) for the foreseeable future. Additionally, development of the Mini Magnetic Cutting Plate is on hold.

Stampin’ Up! stands by their offering of the highest quality products, so if you purchased the Magnetic Cutting Plate (item 161128), you will be issued a refund within 45 days, regardless of whether you’ve encountered issues with the product. If you ordered the Magnetic Cutting Plate but have not received it yet, you will still receive the product as well as a refund. Refunds will be automatically issued to your original form of payment.

We share in your disappointment and frustration. Please do not try to repair or alter defective plates, as they may damage the machine. If you would like to improve the alignment of your open dies and stamps without a Magnetic Cutting Plate, you can use temporary adhesives such as washi tape, masking tape, or Post-it Notes to secure your die and paper together before running them through the machine.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
