Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. Stampin' Up! is sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing 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 their other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.
They know 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 we know and trust. They are happy to share that they have found a winner for the new cardstock, Basic White!
The quality of the new Basic White was thoroughly tested by their quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. They believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and they know it will become your new crafting staple!
Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with the new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order 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)- Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)
The new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as they 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 they are working on getting these products available to us as fast as possible.
Since this change is outside their control, SU hasn't been able to tackle all necessary alterations at once. You may still see the name Whisper White on some of their non-cardstock product labels, catalog, and marketing material for a while. They will be working on a rolling change to address this.
