Stampin’ Up! has made some important changes!

First of all I want to apologize for my absence in posting. Due to personal issues, including a knee replacement surgery, I have not done any crafting in a while. I just lost my mojo to create anything. However as I improve and get more mobile again, the desire to start crafting again has also returned and I am looking forward to creating inspiring posts in the near future.

During my absence, there have been a number of important changes made by Stampin’ Up! that affect all of us. Today I would like to share them with you.

Have you ever made this mistake?

I am guilty, of doing this and I know I am not the only one. Have you ever ordered a stamp or die set only to realize later that that it was part of a bundle which you didn’t order, or even part of a larger suite of coordinating products? Now you are faced with placing a second order for the coordinating product, which is not only frustrating but costly. A bundle automatically saves you 10% of the total price, so there is a loss there plus there is extra shipping costs. No one likes loosing money.

Well that has changed for the better! Stampin’ Up! has added the following to their website. When looking at a stamp, die, embossing folder or even designer series paper, you will now see that it is part of a bundle or larger suite of products for reference which leaves you the choice of purchasing the bundle or suite instead and not missing out. I absolutely love having this information beside the product for easy reference.

As you can see below, the Thankful Garden stamp set is currently an Online exclusive product and you can easily see that there is not only a bundle but also a larger suite of products you could choose instead. This is a game changer and no more mistakes made!

No more Host Codes needed

This has been in the works for over a year. Stampin’ Up! has revamped their old rewards program in favour of a new rewards program which started on April 15th. Now EVERYONE earns rewards on EVERY qualifying order! How cool is that?

Here is how it works! When you place an order of $25 or more, you will earn rewards based on the total order (excluding tax/shipping). These rewards can be used on your very next order or you can save your rewards throughout the year to use later. How great is that?

For example; If you place an order for $100 worth of Stampin’ Up! products, you’ll earn $10.00 (10%) in Stampin’ Rewards which will be automatically be added to your account. The next time you place an order, you can choose to redeem that $10.00 or leave it for another time. You can save up the rewards from multiple orders throughout the year and apply part or all of them to a future order. This is a great idea and a great way to save for a big ticket item.

The new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue goes live on May 6th

I am so excited to get my hands on some of the wonderful products in the new catalogue.

If you have placed an order with me as your demonstrator in the past six months, I have already ordered your hard copy to be mailed to you so you should have it already (or soon). If you would like to order a copy, please let me know and I can order you a copy.

Sneak peak, the new 2025-2027 In Colors are lovely and I can’t decide which is my favourite until I get to create with them. However as an FYI, the Cloud Cover ink pad did not meet Stampin’ Up!’s quality control, so it’s being revamped and should be available to purchase soon, hopefully when the new catalogue goes live.

Did you notice? Strawberry Slush is a returning favourite so you might already have it.

New products added to the Last Chance list

As we get ready for the new catalogue, sadly, some of the old products are being retired to make room for the new products.

There are many products recently added to this list so I encourage you to check it out. Just click on the picture to visit my online store.

This also includes everything related to the 2023-2025 In Colors: card stock, ribbon, embellishments etc. Now is the time to stock up because May 5th, they are all retiring and will disappear

I hope you enjoyed this post.  Should you need any help or have any questions, I am more than happy to help you with any questions you may have.   Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
