Wink of Stella UPDATE from Stampin' Up! on March 19, 2024

Wink of Stella Update

Where has the stellar Wink of Stella gone? Like you, we’re missing this well-loved product. But, we do have some good news as well as some added detail behind the lengthy absence. 

Q. “Not orderable” since December 2023? Why? What happened to Wink of Stella?
A. Put simply, demand recently skyrocketed. Looks like the rest of the world caught on to the magic that is this sparkly supply. With the sudden increase in demand, the manufacturer has had a tough time catching up on orders placed. 

Q. Where’s the good news in this supply/demand scenario?
A. The manufacturer changed their North American distributor last summer. We’ve been working closely with this new business partner to expedite our outstanding Wink of Stella order so we can get the product back in stock ASAP.  

Q. So . . . when will that happen?
A. While we can’t say for sure, it looks like we’ll have Wink of Stella back in stock by the end of May.  

There’s an end in sight, friends. We can’t wait to welcome Wink of Stella back to our available inventory soon. In the meantime, thanks for bearing with us as we’ve worked to resolve this. Your patience is always appreciated!
