Stampin' Up products get more expensive, while offering less to the customer. The design choices for stamps and dies are getting redundant or less exciting. They are getting rid of Sale-A-Bration, which is a sale that I look forward to each year. They offered incentives. Stampin' Up was making it harder to get the incentives by increasing minimum order amounts, prior to discontinuing the sale. They are now changing their packaging and trying to sell it as a being slimmer and move space saving. Is it? I don't think so. I like the cases. I would place the matching dies inside the case, so everything was together, and easily identified. However, the new packaging makes that impossible. It looks like the new packaging for stamps and dies equals the thickness of the old packaging (cases) when you put the new packaging of stamps and the new packaging of dies together. Stampin' Up is just trying to save money for them and not the customer. They also want the customer to spend money to repackage or reorganize the products that they already have. Stampin' Up is expensive and I think they've outpriced themselves now!
