Here’s the Latest News from Stampin’ Up!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“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:
\u2022 Purple Posy Classic Stampin\u2019 Pad (item 150084)
\u2022 Purple Posy Classic Stampin\u2019 Ink Refill (item 150091)
\u2022 2019\u20132021 In Color Classic Stampin\u2019 Pad Assortment (item 150087)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three item numbers listed above may still appear in the 2020\u20132021 annual catalog, but will not be available to purchase after November 5, 2019. All other Purple Posy products (such as Purple Posy Stampin\u2019 Write Marker, Purple Posy Cardstock, Purple Posy Stampin\u2019 Blends, etc.) will remain available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of Stampin\u2019 Up!\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is rare for Stampin\u2019 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\u2019 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 continue to be committed to offering color coordination across all our product lines.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
