WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK
Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are 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, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we 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.
We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We 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. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!
The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

Peaceful Nativity Step-Up
CASUAL To make the simplest version of this beautiful Christmas card, stamp the Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and stable images on the card front in Crumb Cake ink. Tip: Stamp off to create depth. Stamp Mary, Joseph, and Jesus again on a separate piece of cardstock, colour with Watercolor Pencils, and cut out using the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) Circle Punch. Adhere the baby Jesus image using Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it the focal point of the card. |
To create a glowing effect for the star of Bethlehem image, cut a small wedge from a Stamping Sponge. Dip the tip of the sponge in Frost White Shimmer Paint and dab it on the sky above the stable to create a background for the star. Such a lovely effect! |
AVID Step up the second card by die cutting the stable and star images using the Nativity Dies. (This time we stamped the stable image on Crumb Cake Cardstock and added colour to the star using Daffodil Delight ink.) Dip a Water Painter in Frost White Shimmer Paint and splatter on the cardstock to create the impression of a sky full of stars. |
ARTFULLY AVID For our most detailed sample, we first laid down a watercolour wash on a layer of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Once it was dry, we splattered water droplets and Frost White Shimmer Paint on the cardstock, creating the effect of a glowing night sky. As a finishing touch, we created manger "hay" by fraying the edges of a piece of 1/2" (1.3 cm) Vanilla Open Weave Ribbon from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack, folding it in half, and placing it under the baby Jesus. |
