Stampin' Trimmer is Retiring!

I have breaking news to share with you! The Stampin' Trimmer is being discontinued June 3rd along with all of its accessories - the trimming blades, the scoring blades, and the replacement trimmer tracts. The Stampin' Trimmer will not carry over into the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.

The scoring blades and the replacement trimmer mat are discontinued and are no longer available for purchase. However, I have a few extra replacement mats if you would like them.

While, overall, the Stampin' Trimmer is an amazing tool, there have been some manufacturing supply difficulties and a run of faulty cutting blades. Although Stampin' Up! been working together with the manufacturer to resolve these issues, they are still not able to sustain the inventory needs and requirements or to resolve the issues they have had.

Stampin' Up! is taking the opportunity to redesign and to improve the Stampin' Trimmer. Stampin' Up! will have a replacement in the future. However, they are still working on a replacement, and it is not ready to be included in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. So, there will not be a paper trimmer available in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. We don't know the date when the replacement trimmer will be available, but I will update you as I know more.

During this transition time, I will continue to use my Stampin' Trimmer. I ordered a back up supply of cutting blades today and may order more on my next order, so I can continue to prepare for classes, blog posts, workshops, retreat days, etc. without interruption.

I recommend purchasing trimmer cutting blades (Item #126995) while they are still in production. Stampin' Up! purchased a regular 6 months supply of cutting blades to prepare for the increased demand and will be receiving intermittent shipments until about September, so cutting blades will be available intermittently after June 3rd and until all supplies run out.

I recommend ordering trimmer cutting blades (Item #126995) timely, to avoid the rush or missing out. Right now we can order 3 packs of cutting blades per order. This has been the per order limit since the supply difficulty a few years ago. But, once the Retirement List is published on April 15th, the cutting blade limit will be raised from 3 packs per order to 6 packs per order and will remain at a limit of 6 until all supplies run out. When the limit per order rises, the cutting blade inventory may deplete more quickly.

If cutting blades do go on back order, I encourage you to place your email in the "update me when back in stock" box on the cutting blade product page in the online store, so you will be notified when it comes back in stock.

I adore my Stampin' Trimmer, so this news saddened me at first. I know so many of you adore your Stampin' Trimmer too, but we want to supply products of the highest quality and to ensure that they can reach the demand. I know that Stampin' Up! has been listening to us and will make improvements for an even better Stampin' Trimmer! I am looking forward to seeing what Stampin' Up! has for the redesigned Stampin' Trimmer and will keep you updated as we know more. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help!

Thank you for stopping by!
Beth
