Price changes in the upcoming Annual Catalog


The new Annual Catalogs are starting to arrive to Demonstrators this week.  Hopefully those I've ordered for my customers will start arriving within the next few weeks.  

Pre-order is happening now for Demo's. We are able to order a select list of new products (starting Tuesday, April 2nd). It's so exciting to get brand new products in.  I've been creating cards for swaps this month and I'm loving these new colors, gems, ribbons, stamps & bundles!

Did you know that you can get some of these exciting new products now too?  Just add them to your starter kit! Click here to get started and enjoy a 20% discount on all future orders!  

Our beautiful new In Colors are a favorite choice to add to a Starter Kit:

No one likes to hear that prices are going up. I know that. Unfortunately like everything else right in our world lately Stampin' Up! has cost increases.  Unless they pass this along to us….. well, you know what could happen and we don't want that!! 

Below is a list of the price changes occurring in the 2024-26 Annual Catalog. If you need any of these products I suggest you get them now; in April!

I am stocking up on many of my favorite colors of card stock this month.  I'm also grabbing more envelopes too. 

Remember the Last Chance sale starts next week, Tuesday, April 9th. It's tempting to wait to order some of these items.  But already there are several items out of stock/sold out.  So if you NEED something I suggest you get it now! See these lists here.

  • 2 fabulous cards with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper


    I have two pretty cards to share with you today; both from my Flowerbug Team swaps in June.  Both are made with the Hand-Penned DSP which is on sale right now.  Instead of $11.50 it's just $9.78.  See the sale on all 9 packs of Designer Paper here. 

    First is a card by Marilyn.  She made a corner latch card.  I've shared a few of those in the past weeks; it's a fabulous and super simple but special fold anyone can make.  Below are the measurements. 

    She made it even more special by adding a 'stitched' corner to hers.  She used a few sets of dies here; the Triangle and Pierced Bloom dies all in the Annual Catalog.  The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11", scored at 5 1/2". Trim off 2 3/4" from one end & save.
      DSP – 2 pieces at 2 1/2" X 4"
      Corner is 2 1/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal
      White inside is 3" X 4 1/4"

    Next is a card Karen made using Misty Moonlight and our new In Color Shimmer vellum.   

    She used the Penned Flower dies for the flowers and the Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped White greeting.  Her card really shows off this pretty patterned paper!

  • Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon


    Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.  

    I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow.  I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video.  You can see it here.  Or scroll down to view it on my blog below. 

    I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS.  I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping.  It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

    Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

    And here is the video where I share two more cards; scroll down to the end to see this card made.

  • Bamboo Beauty with unique backgrounds & video tutorial


    The Bamboo Beauty stamp set caught my eye right away.  I knew it would be perfect for unique background techniques. click here to see it.  

    I featured it in this week's Facebook Live.  See it here on my FB page or here on YouTube.  Or scroll down to watch it right here. 

    What do you think?  I know some people aren't into bamboo or this Asian style but it's so my style!  I call this type of set a 'scene builder' which inspires me to use techniques to create unique backgrounds.  

    I'm focusing on this card today.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Black & White with a touch of purple.  I used Fresh Freesia on the upper left card and Highland Heather on the right. I used our Blending Brushes for the background, black twine from the Essentials pack and a greeting label from the Messages die. 

    Here's the video; click on the image below to watch it. 

    I'll share details on the other bamboo card soon. *See details on the yellow card here.
