Hello   Hello, crafty friends! Buckle up because there’s a whole lot happening in the Stampin’ Up! world right now, and I’ve got all the details for you. March 4th
brought exciting new Online Exclusives and kits, plus some changes to Paper Pumpkin that you’ll want to know about.  There are also a couple of cardstock updates coming in May that could affect your crafting stash.  And speaking of Paper Pumpkin, the April kit is on the horizon, and I hope to share more details soon. However, since I’m off having a fabulous time at the
Stampin’ Up! convention, that update might have to wait until Wednesday’s newsletter.  There’s even more excitement coming in April with a brand-new Stampin’ Rewards program! If you love earning perks while you shop, you’re going to love these updates. The program is getting a refresh to make it even more rewarding, so stay tuned for details on how you can maximize your benefits and get the most out of your crafting budget.  Keep reading for all the juicy details below—you won’t want to miss what’s new!
NEW Stampin' Rewards Program Launches SoonAn exciting change is coming to how you are rewarded for shopping with Stampin' Up!® with a brand-new Stampin' Rewards Program, which will make it easier than ever to earn and spend your rewards. Stampin' Rewards Program Details- Earn 10% in Stampin' Rewards on EVERY order over $25! (including Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription!)
- Your earned rewards will be available to redeem on your next order.
- Rewards
will accumulate in your account with every qualifying order you place, so you can choose when to redeem them. If you have a big purchase in mind, you can save up your rewards!
Example Place an order for $75 worth of Stampin' Up! products and you'll get $7.50 in Stampin' Rewards added to your account to use on a future order. The next time you order, you can choose to redeem your $7.50, or you can save it to use on a future
order. What do you need to do to earn rewards?You will need to have an online account to earn and manage your rewards. If you already have an online account, you'll need to opt in to the new rewards program. If you don't have an account, you can create your account at stampinup.ca, or I can send you an invitation.
Once your account is created, you'll then need to opt in to earn rewards. Your account will have a personal rewards dashboard where you'll manage your own rewards. Please note that I will not be able to view or manage your rewards for you. If you have more than one online account with Stampin' Up!, you'll want to make sure that you choose one to use going forwards so that your rewards will all
be in one place. Online accounts cannot be merged. Why is Stampin' Up! making this change?Many orders either did not qualify for host rewards or did not reach the higher reward levels. Now you can earn rewards on all purchases over $25 instead of having to reach $200 to qualify for rewards. Rewards are tracked automatically in your online account, so you will always know what you have available to
redeem. This new program is simpler and more rewarding for more customers! Launch ScheduleThe Stampin' Up! website will be unavailable from 8:00 am (MT) on April 15th to integrate the new rewards program. The transition should take around 6 hours, so the site should be up and running again later that day. You'll then be able to shop and start earning your NEW rewards!
If you have orders that
you want to qualify for rewards under the current system, you will need to submit them before the new program launches. Unredeemed Starter Kit codes must also be used before the switch. Please make sure you do this before April 13th. The Fine Print- The minimum qualifying purchase amount required to earn rewards is the order product full retail value subtotal minus promotions, discounts, and any redeemed
rewards.
- You must redeem your Stampin' Rewards within one year. The expiry date may vary according to state, province, or other local legal requirements. You will always be able to view when your rewards will expire within your customer account.
- Full details will be available on the Stampin' Up! website.
If you have any questions or have problems with getting an online account, just let me know and I'll be happy to
help.
Upcoming Changes to our Cardstock CollectionStampin' Up!® is proud to be known for providing the best paper crafting products, and works diligently to manage rising costs to remain competitive without sacrificing quality. Raw material and production costs have continued to rise, and this has particularly affected our cardstock given that only a select few mills are qualified to produce the dyed-through cardstock available in our Colour Collections. This means that some changes to our prices, pack sizes, and overall offering
will be made in our new Annual Catalogue (from May 6th).  What's Changing?- 8½" x 11" Basic White and Very Vanilla packs will now contain 24 sheets (currently 40).
- 8½" x 11" single-colour packs (24 sheets) and assortments (20 sheets) will cost $20 (currently $15.75).
- Basic White 8½" x 11" Thick Cardstock will no longer be available.
- 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) single-colour packs (limited range of Basics
colours) will now contain 24 sheets (currently 12) and will cost $30.
- 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) assortment packs will be discontinued.
- Basic White Thick Cardstock will be available as 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm), priced at $36.
You can shop our cardstock products and more by colour in my online store. If you are planning to stock up to beat the price increases, please order soon as increased demand may cause products to become temporarily unavailable. Items being discontinued may also sell out.  Our range of Two-Tone Cardstock will be expanded! Two-Tone Cardstock will be available in single-colour packages in ALL of our colours. 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Two-Tone
Assortments that coordinate with our Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheets will also be offered.
Haven't tried our Two-Tone Cardstock yet? This white-core printed cardstock has one side showing the full-strength colour and the other side a lighter version of the same colour. It is also lighter in weight than our dyed-through cardstock. If you want to take it for a test drive, you'll find some of the assortments offered in our September Scrapbooking Brochure in the Last Chance category of my online store with some great discounts! Â

Paper Pumpkinâ„¢ is MovingPaper Pumpkin
will move from paperpumpkin.com to stampinup.ca this month, simplifying how you manage your subscription by taking away the need to balance separate account information on two separate websites. There are a few steps you'll need to complete in order to be able to manage your subscription going forwards. Step-by-step instructions and additional information on these changes are detailed here. Key Details- Active subscriptions will transfer automatically, so your kits will continue to be processed and shipped (on the 11th of each month).
- You will need to have an online account at stampinup.ca to manage your subscription (e.g. to skip a kit, or to change your
details). If you don't have an account yet, you can create one at stampinup.ca, or I can send you an invitation.
- You'll need to claim any active subscriptions in your stampinup.ca account in order to manage your subscription. Instructions are included here. You can claim multiple pay-as-you-go subscriptions previously set up using different email addresses in the same stampinup.ca account.
Other Changes- Pay-as-you-go and prepaid subscriptions (3, 6, or 12 months) will be available. The price per kit is the same for all
options. There will no longer be a 1-month prepaid option. Prepaid codes (how you've been able to pay for your Paper Pumpkin kits in advance up to now) will no longer be sold, and codes you have purchased but not redeemed will expire; your deadline to redeem them will depend on your state or province's law of unclaimed property.
- You will be able to have multiple subscriptions on one stampinup.ca account.
- You will be able to gift subscriptions, but you will manage them within your
own account.
- Subscriptions will be eligible to earn rewards under the new Stampin' Rewards program, but do not qualify towards other promotions (refills, past kits, and add-ons do qualify).
- All new subscriptions start straight away once you check out (pay-as-you-go and prepaid). If you redeem multiple previously purchased prepaid codes in the same month, they will all start simultaneously.
- While you will still be able to choose to skip a month, you will not be able to
skip or modify a new subscription until after your first month's kit has shipped.
- Both pay-as-you-go and prepaid subscriptions include shipping.
Transition SchedulePaperpumpkin.com will shut down at 11:59 am (MT) on March 10th.
Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will be available on stampinup.ca from 8:00 am (MT) on March 11th, and you will be able to claim your active
subscriptions to add them to your account. What you need to do- Log in to paperpumpkin.com to view your current subscription details. If you have signed up for multiple accounts using different emails, make sure you check all of them. You'll need to be able to receive an email sent to the account email address in order to claim your subscriptions on the stampinup.ca website. If you cannot access that email account, you can change the
email address listed in your paperpumpkin.com account.
- If you need to make changes to your active subscription for March's kit, please make sure you do that on or before March 9th.
- Create an account at stampinup.ca if you do not already have one.
- After March 11th, claim your active subscriptions in your stampinup.ca account.
- Watch this helpful video from Stampin' Up! showing how to manage your subscriptions.
- Check the subscriptions in your account to make sure all of your details and kit quantities are correct.
Don't forget I am here to help! Just let me know if you have questions or you get stuck. Â
