Catalog Product Availability

We’re in the final stretch of the January–April 2026 Mini Catalog and the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog. Let’s talk product availability ahead of the April 1 Last Chance Products update.

We strive to keep items available through the catalog cycle to give you as much time as possible to share them with your customers. However, it’s inevitable that some products sell out without enough time to restock before they would have moved to the Last Chance Products. When this happens, affected items are added directly to the Discontinued List, which is refreshed hourly and varies by market. 

If an item from a product suite or bundle sells out, the full suite or bundle will retire and be removed from the online store. This does not necessarily mean every individual component has been discontinued—only that they can no longer be sold together as a collection. Any remaining individual items from the bundle or suite may still be available. 

We expect the early discontinuation of items to be limited, but we recognize how such a change in availability impacts your plans, so we want to make you aware of the possibility. We appreciate your flexibility during product transition periods.

Catalog Corrections

In the upcoming catalog, the price listed for 2026-2028 In Color 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock is incorrect. The following will be added to the Corrections page of our website on May 5, when the catalog is available to customers:

Events and Advertising Stampin’ Up! Promotions

Did you know that we have helpful guidelines to support you in sharing exciting news about Stampin’ Up! promotions? These guidelines are designed to ensure that you stay on track with what can be shared and when, helping you grow your business effectively. 

We encourage demonstrators to focus on promoting current products to maximize sales. However, if you choose to showcase upcoming products, it's great to balance your approach by also promoting items that your customers can purchase right away.

Promotion Guidelines
 

• If a promotion is unveiled at a Stampin’ Up! event, you may begin sharing information, samples, and products once the spoiler restriction has been lifted (unless told otherwise at the event).
   
• For promotions with a preorder period, you can begin announcing the promotion to your customers when the preorder begins. 
   
• For promotions without a preorder period, you can begin advertising the promotion one month prior to the start date of the promotion. If the announcement comes less than one month prior to the promotion, demonstrators can begin promoting it immediately. 
   

Also, OnStage is just around the corner, and we’re excited to get together! It’s a great time to share your excitement and connect with others. Here are a few key points to help you share your enthusiasm on social media and online pages during the event.

Advertising Guidelines
 

• You may show the cover of the new catalog but not the inside. 
   
• While attending a Stampin’ Up!-sponsored event, remember that you can only sell or promote Stampin’ Up! products.
   
• Advertising for non-Stampin’ Up! businesses on swaps at events is likewise not allowed, as is using the Stampin’ Up! name or drawing power to promote other business opportunities. 
   
• Once the preorder begins for upcoming catalog items, you are welcome to share or show physical products (not just samples) to your customers. If a product is shown at a Stampin’ Up! event, you can also share or show physical products unless told otherwise. This applies to showing them in person and online. 
   
• While it’s fun to build excitement by showing new products early, keep in mind that promoting products that your customers can buy immediately helps maintain their enthusiasm. As always, we encourage you to focus on current products to drive sales. If you choose to show new items, be sure to continue promoting current products that your customers can purchase right away.
   

We hope this clarifies any questions that you may have. If you have additional concerns about events and advertising Stampin’ Up! promotions, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-STAMP-UP or ds@stampinup.com. You can also contact the Policy & Education Team at PolicyandEd@stampinup.com. We would be happy to answer your questions!

Shipping Test for US Paper Pumpkin Deliveries

As transportation costs increase each year, we continually explore ways to help manage expenses. As part of this effort, we’re going to test a different delivery service for Paper Pumpkin shipments within the United States. 
What you need to know: 
 

• This test begins this week and will continue for the next few months. 
   
• Test orders will be selected at random and will only include U.S. deliveries only. 
   
• Orders included in this test will still receive an emailed delivery confirmation with tracking details. However, they link to a different carrier’s site other than UPS. 
   
• If, at the conclusion of this test, we decide to switch shipping providers, we’ll notify you. 
   

We welcome feedback. If you or your customer receives a Paper Pumpkin delivery that is part of this test and you’d like to share your experience, please reach out via the Suggestion Box. Thank you! 

For Canadian Demonstrators Only: Changes to Your 2025 T4A Statement

We want to make you aware that this year’s T4A Form differs from forms issued in previous years. The information below provides additional clarity to ensure you understand how your income and non cash rewards have been reported for 2025.

Stampin’ Up! does not provide tax advice and recommends that demonstrators contact a knowledgeable advisor with any questions they may have in this regard. The company is providing the following information to help demonstrators understand what is being reported on Form T4A.

Form T4A is required to be issued to each demonstrator whose business is run as a sole proprietorship (taxed as an individual) or organized as a partnership or corporation. The form is prepared when the combined total of all amounts reported is $500.00 or more. 

More information about income taxes and demonstrator businesses can be found in the Income Tax section of the Demonstrator Handbook.

Form T4A Box 020—Self-employed Commissions
The amount shown in Box 020 includes all cash payments and the value of applicable non‑cash amounts provided to demonstrators during the 2025 calendar year. Amounts earned during 2024, but paid or given in 2025, are included. Amounts earned during 2025 but paid or given in 2026 or a later year, are not included. The total includes amounts for order commissions, team commissions, various types of bonuses, volume rebates and travel vouchers. Amounts for order discount are not included in Box 020, as these are considered purchase price discounts, which reduce the cost of acquired products, rather than income.

The amount in Box 020 can be verified on the demonstrator website in your Stampin’ Up! reports. The report included in Box 020 is your Payment History. You can find this report by clicking on View My Reports, then click on Additional Reports. Every payment made to you in 2025, shown in your Payment History report, is included in Box 020. 

Form T4A Box 154—Cash Awards or Prizes
The amount shown in Box 154 reports non-cash awards or prizes given to demonstrators during the 2025 calendar year. Amounts earned during 2024, but paid or given in 2025, are included. Amounts earned during 2025 but paid or given in 2026 or a later year, are not included. The total includes the value of any incentive travel, event registration credits, product credit and Stampin’ Rewards redemptions (product credit and Stampin’ Reward amounts are calculated net of Order Commission then added to box 154).  

All non-cash transactions and taxable reward items you earned in 2025, shown on the Miscellaneous Income report, are included in Box 154. The total Taxable Reward Items amount on your report is not the final tax amount on your T4A. To calculate the final amount that matches your T4A, multiply only the Product Credits and Stampin’ Rewards by 75%. If you have any Event Registration Credits, add them to the final calculated amount of Product Credits and Stampin’ Rewards.
