Important News…Whisper White Cardstock Change

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. I love it and know you love it, too. Stampin’ Up! is sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, they weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to them and they can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

Stampin’ Up! knows Whisper White has a huge fan base and they are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of their hands, rest assured that they jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. They have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. I am happy to share that they have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by the Stampin’ Up! quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up.

What does this mean for you?
With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. I wanted to give you this information before Whisper White products sell out and before all Basic White products are fully ready so you can include it in your crafting projects. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last! *Limit of 2 per item per order.

• Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
• Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
• Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
• Whisper White 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
• Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock (100730)
• Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock (140272) *Not orderable.
• Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

Since this change is outside their control, they haven’t been able to tackle all necessary alterations at once. You may still see the name Whisper White on some of our non-cardstock product labels, catalog, and marketing material for a while. They will be working on a rolling change to address this.Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Stampin’ Up! is working on getting these products available as fast as possible.

While this has come as quite a surprise,  hopefully this transition to our new Basic White products can be an exciting change for everyone!
They’ve created a flyer HERE for you with all the new Basic White product information in one place. You may want to print this out and put a copy of it with your catalog so you can easily access the new ordering information for these products.

Stampin’ Up! created a video that goes over a comparison of Whisper White to Basic White so you will know what to expect with this change. Watch the cardstock comparison; cutting, folding, tearing, stamping, and embossing. You can watch the video below.

It’s always hard to say goodbye, but I am excited about the new Basic White product line and hope you will be too!

If you need any of the Whisper White products to carry you over until the new Basic White is available see the product list below to place your order.

I’ll be back tomorrow to continue my 12 Days of Giveaways! There’s still time to enter. If you missed my Christmas Card Inspiration yesterday click HERE to view (and leave a comment).

Have a great day! Stay safe! Stay well!
