Information about what is happening in the Stampin' Up! World, with sales, events, product availability, etc.
Hello
This week feels like one of those happy juggling acts where everything is a little bit exciting. From a once-in-a-lifetime Cruisin’ and Stampin’
adventure to adorable cards, beautiful paper, and clever tools, there’s a whole lot to smile about in the Stampin’ Up! world right now.
If the Alaska Stampin’ Cruise made your heart skip when I first shared it, consider this your friendly tap on the shoulder. Spots are filling, and this creative getaway will be here before we know it.
Back in
the craft room, February’s Product of the Month is stealing the show. The Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper is soft, dreamy, and endlessly versatile, perfect for both cards and memory-keeping. Add in registration now open for my March Sweet Bugs Class, and suddenly the table is filling up with colour, charm, and a whole lot of cute.
If you’ve been quietly wondering whether
February might be your moment to join Stampin’ Up!, there’s a little extra excitement in the air. The Starter Kit now includes the NEW Stampin’ Positioner free, making precise stamping, repeating patterns, and multi-project crafting easier than ever. Sometimes the timing really is just right.
Don’t forget to swing by the Creative Inspiration Table this week for the latest colour
combination and sketch, inspired by the Unbridled Beauty Stamp Set.
And if you earned Bonus Days coupons, now’s the time to treat yourself, they’re ready to be redeemed through February 28.
Until then, Happy Stamping! 💌

Still Thinking About Alaska? 🛳️ Don’t Wait…
Our Wonderful Travel Agent found 2 more Balcony Rooms, but one is already gone!
If the
Alaska Stampin’ Cruise caught your eye when I first announced it, this is your friendly nudge — because spots on this creative adventure will not last.
We’ll be sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas for a 7-night Alaska cruise, round-trip from Vancouver, BC, Canada, from May 30 to June 6, 2027.
Think breathtaking scenery, unforgettable ports, relaxed creative time, and the joy of traveling with people who love crafting and adventure.
✨ Special group rates are already in place, including:
Interior staterooms starting at $1412.23 per person
Ocean view balcony staterooms at $2208.23 per
person (Prices include taxes, fees, and gratuities.)
A refundable deposit of $265 per person secures your spot, and registration is open now until August 1, 2026 — or until the cabins are gone, whichever comes first.
The crafting sessions are thoughtfully planned for cruising days, so they won’t interfere with
excursions or port time. You’re also welcome to bring your best crafting buddy or significant other, even if they don’t craft — this trip is designed to be flexible and fun for everyone.
If this has been sitting on your bucket list, now is the time to take the next step.
👉 For cabin options, pricing details, and booking, please email our Travel Agent Host: Yvette
McKay MacPhail at ymckay@trevello.com
This is one of those experiences you don’t want to hear about later and wish you’d
joined. Alaska, creativity, cruising, and community — all wrapped into one unforgettable week. 💙
Yvette and I hosted a Q&A session on Thursday night, and you can see the replay below. If it doesn't answer all your questions, just reach out to one of us.

February's Paper Pumpkin™
Create whimsical cards to celebrate Easter and spring days with February's kit.
Your kit has everything you need to make 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs), with 9 coordinating envelopes. You'll assemble your cards with precut paper pieces, and then embellish with iridescent pink and yellow sequins and pink Baker's Twine. A Shy Shamrock Classic Stampin' Spot is also provided, and other coordinating Stampin' Up! colours are Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, and
Pretty in Pink.
Don't forget that you can purchase the Beautiful Blooms Dies add-on, to help you take your crafting with your Paper Pumpkin kits even further. These dies coordinate with all three of this quarter's kits (January, February, and March 2026). This set of dies lets you cut a postage stamp, a scripted
"Beautiful" element, and two-piece tulip. Don't delay ordering as this add-on is offered while supplies last, and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
To subscribe, you can choose the pay-as-you-go option to pay monthly, or select a prepay plan to pay in advance for 3, 6, or 12 months from my online store. The cut-off date to subscribe
and receive each month's kit is the 10th of the month, so to receive the February kit, you must purchase your subscription before February 10th.
February's Product of the Month
The brand-new Product of the Month for February is now available. Add it to your order for just $5 when you spend $100! You'll earn 10% in Stampin' Rewards too.
This month's exclusive product is the Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. Soft

Once your order reaches $100, click to add the Product of the Month to your cart for just $5.
That's it! You'll get your exclusive product with your order.
If you redeem Stampin' Rewards or use coupon or discount codes, your cart total is reduced. You'll
need to add more items to your cart to reach the qualifying total again.
Save this useful guide so you'll always know how to get your Product of the Month.
Product of the Month Reminders
Each monthly exclusive is a specially-designed product that isn't available in any of our catalogues or our Online Exclusives. Each month's release is available only while supplies last, so once it's sold out it's gone for good! You'll only be able to get one of each month's exclusive product. If a Product of the Month remains in stock after the month ends, you can order it in future months with a qualifying purchase, as long as you haven't already ordered
it. So if you didn't get December's exclusive DSP or January's must-have Fabulous
Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set yet, you can choose either of those instead of February's new option, but only while supplies last.
You'll need to have a Stampin' Up! account to take advantage and claim your Product of the Month with your qualifying order. If you don't have an account, you can create one at stampinup.ca, or I can send you an
invitation. You have to reach the qualifying amount of $100 in a single order; you can't combine multiple orders of lower amounts to qualify.
Don't delay! February's Product of the Month, the Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, is only available while supplies
last.
Lovely Blossoms Virtual Craft Class
The Lovely Blossoms Virtual Craft Class is now available for purchase! This class will showcase elevated crafting techniques for clean and simple projects and will include three projects: a card, a set of oversized tags, and a mini album/gift card pocket album, all
made using the new Online Exclusive Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection. Don't forget that you'll also earn Stampin' Rewards on your class fee!
The class will stream live on February 19th, at 2:00 pm (MT), but if you can't watch it live then the video will be available to watch on demand after. To join, purchase the class (170929, $34; supplies not included) in my online store. You'll be emailed within 2-3 business days with all you need to know, including the link to join the exclusive Facebook group where the class will be hosted. To be approved to join the group, you'll need to enter the name and email address you used when you purchased the Craft Class, and the order number. If you want to watch live, you'll need to purchase your class before February 17th.
The class will still be available to purchase after the live stream, but ordering early means you can join the group, receive your products in time to craft along live, and connect with other crafters!
January-April Mini Catalogue
The NEW January-April Mini Catalogue is live and available for you to view online, and all the new products have been added to my online store for you to browse.
This catalogue brings a fresh lineup of creative products, featuring stunning suites, versatile bundles and stamp sets, and coordinating papers and embellishments, all designed to inspire your next handmade project.
January's NEW Online Exclusive products are here! Remember that these products are not listed in any of our catalogues, so there are even MORE products for you to check out in the online store this month.
The Gliding Garden Swing Bundle features detailed line drawings of garden elements, perfect for showcasing your colouring skills, and sentiments to send cheerful wishes or to celebrate milestones. The coordinating dies make building garden scenes
simple.
The Seasonal Celebrations Photopolymer Stamp Set will take you through all the upcoming holidays, graduations, and beyond. The images are just right for adding to decorative banners and gift packaging, as well as handmade cards and scrapbook layouts.
The soft watercolour patterns and touches of gold and iridescent foil in the Splash of Sparkles 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper feel light and whimsical, and will add a touch of sparkle and
magic to your projects.
These are only a few of the new products that are now available, and you can see the full range in the Online Exclusives section of my online store. Online Exclusive products are initially available while supplies last, so don't
delay ordering if something catches your eye!
The Unbridled Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set features detailed line art images with an equestrian theme, and is a perfect set for projects that need a touch of rustic charm.
The horseshoe and grazing horses images from the Unbridled Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped randomly using Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Ink™ across the front
of a folded Crumb Cake card base.
The fence image was stamped along the bottom edge of a 2¾" x 4" rectangle of Granny Apple Green Cardstock using Early Espresso ink. The tree image was stamped randomly over the rest of the rectangle using Granny Apple Green ink. This rectangle was adhered, at an angle, to a rectangle of Early Espresso Cardstock measuring 3" x 4¼".
The horse portrait image was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink, and cut out using the
stitched circle die (measuring approximately 2½" in diameter) from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The image was coloured using Watercolor Pencils (Balmy Blue, Basic Black, and Early Espresso; from Assortments 1 & 2) and Blender Pens. The circle was then adhered to the right of the stamped Granny Apple Green layer, and the element adhered to the card front.
The 'from the heart' sentiment, also from the Unbridled Beauty set, was stamped on Balmy Blue Cardstock using Early Espresso ink, and
cut out using the medium-sized stitched banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. A length of Early Espresso Linen Thread was looped in a double bow and adhered to the reverse of the die-cut banner. The banner was then added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.
As always, thank you for being part of this creative space.
Whether you’re dreaming about Alaska, crafting sweet little bugs, or simply enjoying a quiet moment at your stamping table, I hope this week brings you inspiration, joy, and a little creative calm.
These are the moments that turn paper and ink into memories, and I’m so grateful to share them with you.
