Information about what is happening in the Stampin' Up! World, with sales, events, product availability, etc.
Hello
There’s a little extra excitement in the air this week, and a gentle sense that now might be the time to say “yes” to something creative you’ve been thinking
about.
Hurry, hurry, hurry — registration for the Cutest Crew Class closes on March 31, and this bundle truly lives up to its name. It’s irresistibly cute, wonderfully versatile, and perfect for creating projects that are guaranteed to make you smile.
I’m so excited to be getting ready for my 2026 In Colour Club starting in May with the new
catalogue. This is always such a fun way to explore the new colours together and build your collection month by month. I’ve included all the details below, so be sure to take a peek and grab your spot early—these always fill up quickly!
There’s also plenty of inspiration to explore, from this week’s Creative Inspiration Table featuring a sweet sketch with the Cutest Crew Bundle, to April’s
Paper Pumpkin kit, inspired by peaceful waterside scenes. It’s perfect for creating thoughtful cards, especially for the men in your life, and even coordinates with the upcoming Waterside Retreat Suite Collection. And if you love a little peek ahead, you’ll definitely want to check out the sneak peeks for May and June’s kits as well.
Until then, Happy
Stamping! 💌

Upcoming Catalogue Changes
Stampin'
Up! has announced some exciting changes to our catalogues. Instead of an Annual Catalogue and multiple mini catalogues, there will be three catalogues per year: January–April, May–August, and September–December. Each of these seasonal catalogues will introduce new products, but will also include core products such as basic tools and adhesives, colour products, essential punches and dies, basic embellishments, and envelopes. Without having to juggle overlapping catalogues, it'll be much easier to
shop! Online Exclusive product releases will continue every other month.
Watch this space for more details about the upcoming May–August Catalogue, launching May 5th!

Creative Inspiration Table
Creative Inspiration with a Sketch
Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
The Cutest Crew Bundle lives up to its name with playful images and die cuts of the most adorable animals.
The row of cats image from the Cutest Crew Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on four rectangles of cardstock (4" x 1") in various shades of pink using the matching Classic Stampin' Ink™; Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry
Slush. The paw prints image from the same stamp set was stamped randomly over the front of a folded Basic White card base using Petal Pink ink. The stamped cardstock strips were then adhered directly to the card front.
Smoky Slate Ink was added to the first two images in the row of cats stamp, which was then stamped on Basic White Cardstock and coloured using the light Crumb Cake and light Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blends™. The coloured pair of cats were cut using both the die from the
Cutest Crew Dies and scissors for the right-hand side.
The sentiment, again from the same stamp set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Strawberry Slush ink and cut out using the die (measuring approximately 2¾" in diameter) from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The coloured pair of cats were added to the bottom of the die-cut circle using Stampin' Dimensionals™ and the sentiment element added to the card front, again with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The individual cat dies from
the Cutest Crew Dies were used to cut cats from Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush Cardstock, and added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Flirty Flamingo Garden Epoxy Dots were added as the final embellishments.
Don't forget you can bundle and save! Purchase the Cutest Crew Bundle and save 10%.
As we move into a new month, it’s a wonderful time to gather your favourite supplies, make
space at your craft table, and enjoy a few quiet moments of creativity.
Whether you’re joining the Cutest Crew class, exploring Paper Pumpkin, or simply playing along with this week’s sketch, I hope you find something that brings a little extra joy to your day.
And just a gentle reminder to stock up on your crafting essentials while you can. With some price increases
coming on May 5, now is a great time to refill those favourites you reach for again and again.
Thank you, as always, for being part of this creative community. It means so much to share these moments of inspiration with you.
