Unbelievable as it sounds Whisper White is retiring effective immediately from the Stampin’ Up! product line. Not to worry, there’s something else right around the corner for us to enjoy. Today I’m sharing information about the sudden retirement of Whisper White and what that means for us crafters.
Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for as long as I can remember, I always have a few packs of card stock, envelopes and note cards in my stash. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the supplier mill that produced Whisper White cardstock products has permanently closed. Stampin’ Up! wasn’t given much notice about this closure. Because of the closure, the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to Stampin’ Up!, and the company can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products. This will not affect other cardstocks – only Whisper White.
With Whisper White going out of production, a number of Whisper White products will soon be going away. The following items are now available while supplies last (with an order limit of 2 per item per order):
- #100730 – Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock
- #140272 – Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock
- #124302 – Whisper White 12″ x 12″ Cardstock
- #107301 – Whisper White Medium Envelopes
- #131527 – Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes
- #145829 – Whisper White 3″ x 3″ Envelopes
- #149710 – Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes
While you may want to grab up some Whisper White before it goes away!
Let me introduce you to Basic White!
After many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit, Stampin’ Up! has found a new replacement – Basic White! The quality of the new Basic White was thoroughly tested by Stampin’ Up!’s quality assurance and product teams. We are told it also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who played with the new paper and gave it a huge thumbs up. The company believes in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock, and I’m certain it will soon become our new crafting staple!
The new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as Stampin’ Up! can 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. Please know that the company is working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.
This change is outside of the company’s control, Stampin’ Up! hasn’t been able to tackle all necessary alterations at once. You may still see the name Whisper White on some of the non-cardstock product labels, catalog, and marketing material for a while. They will be working on a change to address this.
