Changes coming

I wanted to share some information with a new month here! I wanted to pass the news your way!

Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will see an upcoming price increase.  Here are the new prices for Paper Pumpkin Kits beginning with the April 2026 Kit:

Here is the new pricing for refills and past kits released after March 11, 2026. Prices for refills and past kits released before March 11, 2026 will remain unchanged.

Stampin’ Up! has some exciting changes coming in the new catalog!  But – with good comes not-so-great and I always like to get the less-than-awesome news knocked out first!

Price Increases Coming

Stampin’ Up! is committed to providing high-quality paper crafting products and a great overall experience—without compromising the quality that Stampin’ Up! is known for.  At the same time, they carefully consider costs and other important factors.  To do this, they regularly review our pricing based on the cost of doing business, global exchange rates, rising supplier costs, and market comparisons.

Due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories:

  • Select Stampin’ Cut & Emboss products
  • Heat Tool
  • Cutting & Scoring Blades Multipacks
  • Select Coloring Tools
  • Storage
  • Select Adhesives
  • Select Paper products including Envelopes, Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, and Masking Paper
  • Designer Series Paper
  • Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills
  • Stampin’ Blends
  • Select Embellishments, Twines, and Linen Thread

We not been given all the details yet on the specific price increases for the catalog items, we’ll see what we see when we get our hands on the new catalog later this month.  If you’ve been considering purchasing anything on the list, be sure to order before the current catalog ends to get the lower pricing. 

Changes to the Upcoming Catalog Timelines

Starting in May, Stampin’ Up! is refreshing the way they share products in print, with a new, streamlined catalog strategy designed to make shopping from their catalogs easier and more intuitive.  Instead of an annual catalog and multiple minis, they are moving to three beautifully designed catalogs per year—each one complete, current, and easy to use on its own.  No more overlapping catalogs!

Each catalog will introduce new products alongside a selection of customer-favorite staples (core products)—such as stamps, ink, paper, tools, and adhesives—bringing the feel of a mini catalog and an annual catalog together in one place.  This balanced approach creates an easy-to-shop print experience, all within a catalog released every four months:

  • January–April
  • May–August
  • September–December

These seasonal catalogs are designed to put products front and center, making it easy for you to browse, discover, and shop by product category.

I just received the new May-August 2026 Catalog (like…Last week when I attended OnStage out in California) and I believe this new streamlined approach is going to be a really good thing!

Magnetic Ink Pads

Beginning in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! will introduce new felt ink pads in a magnetic, stackable case design.

  • In 2026, only the new In Colors will be offered in the new magnetic felt pads.
  • In 2027, all ink colors will transition to the new magnetic felt pad as part of a planned color revamp, and the current pad style will be phased out.

Importantly, existing ink pads will remain usable throughout this transition—there is no immediate need to replace what you already own. Please be aware, however, that once the transition takes place, the old ink pad design will only be available while supplies last.

The photo above is an early peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!  And they look beautiful!!  The NEW Magnetic Ink Pads in the NEW 2026-2028 In Colors will be available to order 5 May 2026!

Check out the new In Colors!

  • Crisp Cantaloupe
  • Barely Blush
  • Golden Glow
  • Peaceful Pine
  • Hydrangea Hue
