NEW 2025-2027 In Color™ Collection

The NEW 2025-2027 In Color Collection is a sneak peek from our upcoming new Annual Catalogue. These five bright and varied colours will be available in coordinating products across our whole product range. You may spot a returning favourite - Strawberry Slush!

Please note that there have been some quality issues with the new Cloud Cover Classic Stampin' Pad. Stampin' Up! is working to ensure it meets their usual high standards before making it available to purchase. 

Here are all five members of this new collection:

Cloud Cover

Darling Duckling

Secret Sea

Strawberry Slush

Timid Tiger

Products featuring these new colours will be available to purchase from May 6th.

NEW Stampin' Rewards Program Launches 

April 15th.

An 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 Schedule

The 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.

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

Natural textures and a neutral colour palette are combined in this elegant card design, featuring products from the Online Exclusive Botanical Textures Suite Collection. 
 

A rectangle of the linen patterned paper from the Woven Textures 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 1¾" x 5" was stamped multiple times with the smaller foliage image from the Textured Notes Cling Stamp Set using Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Ink. The stamped DSP was then adhered to the left-hand side of a folded Crumb Cake card base. 

The woven circle image from the Textured Notes set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock, again using Crumb Cake ink, and cut out using a 2" Circle Punch. The larger foliage image from the same stamp set was stamped twice on Basic White Cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink, and both images carefully cut out using Paper Snips. The circle and foliage elements were adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

The sentiment, again from the same stamp set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock (measuring ½" x 3½") using Early Espresso ink. A slightly longer length of Basic Beige ⅜" (1 cm) Bordered Ribbon was adhered behind the bottom half of the stamped strip. The completed sentiment element was adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (in Crumb Cake) were added as additional embellishments.
