Stampin&#8217; Up! announced last week that they will no longer carry the Big Shot and it&#8217;s plates. They are developing a new, improved die-cutting machine. Here is what they announced to us demonstrators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Die-Cutting and Embossing Product Line Changes<br>We  are making some big changes to our die-cutting and embossing product  line that will give us a better opportunity to support the long-term  vision we have for the line. While we\u2019ve worked with our current  supplier for many years, we\u2019ve had the opportunity to reassess this  relationship. After extensive research, demonstrator feedback, and  evaluation, we\u2019ve decided to move in a new direction and we\u2019re  optimistic about this new course.<br>Innovation requires risk, and in  our pursuit of a better overall die-cutting and embossing product line,  we\u2019re experiencing more significant challenges than we originally  planned for, including some transition issues like the die inventory  problems we experienced beginning in March .<br>The challenges we are  facing moving forward are not insurmountable, but they are taking time  to resolve. Because of these setbacks, we will not offer a die-cutting  &amp; embossing machine in the 2019\u20132020 annual catalog. We know this  will create some challenges for you, and for that, we apologize. We want  to make sure that what we offer supports demonstrators by being high  quality, thoroughly considered, and dependable product; we want to take  the time to get it right for you and your customers rather than rush  something to market. Our product development department is moving with  responsible haste to work through this issue, and we will share more  information as things are finalized.<br>However, we will offer new  dies and embossing folders in the 2019\u20132020 annual catalog. Since we\u2019re  using a new supplier, the dies and folders will be manufactured  differently; this means the way you use the new style of dies and  folders will be a little different than how you used the old style. Both  the new-style and old-style dies and embossing folders can work with  any die-cutting &amp; embossing machine (in some cases, adaptations like  shims may be required because the gap between rollers on machines may  vary slightly between manufacturers). You may have noticed we\u2019re not referring to these products using names  you\u2019re familiar with. Another change required in this transition is to  the terminology we use to refer to die-cutting and embossing products.<br>One  of the significant factors in this decision is that instead of working  with a supplier who works with a manufacturer, we are moving to a  direct-to-manufacturer relationship. This means that we will work  directly with the factories who manufacture our dies and folders instead  of working with another company who then works with different  factories. This gives us greater control and potential in the  manufacturing process. Here\u2019s one example of how that will work: having a  direct-to-manufacturer relationship will better allow us to implement  die and folder ideas we gather from you, our power users. When we gather  feedback and ideas from you, we will now be able to work directly with  the factories making the products to implement those innovative ideas.<br>So  while the current situation isn\u2019t ideal, we are setting the foundation  for greater die-cutting and embossing opportunity in the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t get upset that Stampin&#8217; Up! is going to no longer carry the Big Shot. There are still a wonderful selection of dies in the new catalog and the current dies will work in the new machine when it comes. One of the changes in the new dies is that the inside edge of the die fits right up to the edge of the stamped image instead of leaving a narrow white border. When the image is cut, there will be a narrow border around it. This is a benefit in that we won&#8217;t have to guess where to place the die to get an even border around the image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stampin&#8217; Up! to no longer carry the Big Shot.
