🎀Sail Away Dreams, Springtime Hues & A Few Friendly Nudges🎀

Information about what is happening in the Stampin' Up! World, with sales, events, product availability, etc.
Hello
Some weeks feel like a gentle nudge forward, and this is one of them. A little reminder here, a spark of colour there, and suddenly your creative calendar
starts filling itself in the loveliest way.
It’s not too late to join us for the Alaska Stampin’ Cruise in 2027. If that idea has been quietly floating in the back of your mind, consider this your invitation to bring it to the front. Imagine stamping with friends while glaciers glide past your window. If you have questions, reach out to me or Yvette. We would truly love to have you come along.
If becoming a demonstrator has been on your heart, there is just one more week to take advantage of the February Starter Kit offer. The NEW Stampin’ Positioner is included FREE, and it makes beautifully aligned images, repeating patterns, and multi project crafting feel effortless. Sometimes the right tool makes everything click into place.
This week’s Creative Inspiration Table
features a soft and lovely colour combination that feels like spring tiptoeing in. It would be perfect for Easter cards, baby projects, or simply brightening someone’s day. What would you create with it?
And a couple of gentle reminders before the week slips by. If you earned Bonus Days coupons in January, there is only one week left to redeem them. It might be the perfect excuse to treat yourself. Also, the “Last Chance” product list
has been updated, and there are some favourites now discounted while supplies last.
Until then, Happy Stamping! 💌

Still Thinking About Alaska? 🛳️ Don’t Wait…
Balcony Rooms SOLD OUT
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 SOLD OUT (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.

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

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.

The bright patterns and cute imagery in the Easter Joy Suite Collection are everything you need for your Easter projects.
The rabbit, chick, and tulip images from the Easter Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink. Each image was coloured with Stampin' Blends™ (Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, and
Shy Shamrock) and cut out with the coordinating dies from the Easter Basket Dies. The grass die from the same set was used to cut a strip from Shy Shamrock Cardstock. The die-cut elements were then adhered to a Pretty in Pink Cardstock rectangle (1¾" x 3") using Stampin' Dimensionals™.
A rectangle was cut from Balmy Blue Cardstock using the die from the Textured Notes Dies (measuring approximately 3¾" wide). The slot punch from the Hole Punch Assortment was used to create slits at either
end of the rectangle, and a length of Balmy Blue ¼" (6.4 mm) Gingham Ribbon looped through the slits and tied in a bow to the left. The Pretty in Pink rectangle, carrying the die-cut elements, was adhered to the right side of the Balmy Blue layer with Stampin' Seal.
A rectangle of the foiled floral patterned paper from the Easter Joy 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (5¼" x 4") was adhered to a folded Basic White Thick card base. The two ends of a strip of Lemon Lolly Cardstock
(5" x 1") were cut to form pennant shapes and the rectangle adhered in the middle of the card front.
The Balmy Blue rectangle element was adhered centrally over the Lemon Lolly strip using Stampin' Dimensionals. The 'Happy Easter' sentiment, also from the Easter Basket set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin' Ink™, trimmed to size (3" x ½"), and adhered as the top layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. Pretty in Pink Flat Pearls (from the
2024-2026 In Color™ Flat Pearls) were added as the final embellishments.
Don't forget you can bundle and save! Purchase the Easter Basket Bundle and save 10%.
As we move through these final days of February, I hope you find a moment to sit at your
craft table and create something that makes you smile.
Whether you are dreaming of Alaska, trying a new tool, playing with fresh colours, or scooping up a last chance treasure, there is joy waiting in the making.
