Hey y’all – well, here we go – it’s Saturday and that means the last day of OnStage! We’ve got a full day ahead of us of stamping presentations, make-and-take-ing, product previewing, getting our hands on the new catalog (finally!) and lots of clapping. Cheering. And Chocolate. Stampin’ Up! events are fueled by chocolate.
And coffee.
Or tea. Not me – I’m all coffee and Diet Mt. Dew!
Thursday night at dinner, I gave out some little gifts to my Crittters-N-Creatin’ Krew team mates who are here with me!
The goodies came in pretty bags so…I just needed to add a tag! I used the Creative Haven bundle and the Joyful Squares die set together to make the cute tags. The coordinating Square Snippets DSP set a pretty floral stage. Take a look-see:
I started by using the tag die from the Creative Haven die set to cut out tags – some from Secret Sea and some from Pretty Peacock cardstock. To those tags, I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″ squares of the Square Snippets DSP. You can see I used two different designs.
Using the frame die from the Joyful Squares set, I cut out a frame from either Secret Sea or Pretty Peacock Square Snippets DSP. I adhered the frames to the DSP squares using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
There’s a fun die in the Joyful Squares set that I used to cut out Secret Sea and Pretty Peacock “clipboard clips”. I adhered them at the top of the tags with Dimensionals.
Thru the holes – I ran Secret Sea 3/8″ Bordered Open Weave Ribbon or Darling Duckling 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon. Around the ribbon, I wrapped a length of white Baker’s Twine and tied a bow.
On another design from the Square Snippets DSP, I stamped a sentiment from the Creative Haven stamp set in either Secret Sea or Pretty Peacock ink. Note: since I made these tags – the cute Creative Haven stamp set has fully retired and is no longer available. So – if you have it already – great! If not – this circle from the Creative Haven die set (still available) is a good size and would fit a lot of sentiments! Sorry about that – kinda bait-and-switch of me, wasn’t’ it?!
I cut the sentiments out with the Creative Haven circle die and adhered them with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Then I added Secret Sea or Darling Duckling 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. Cuz…gotta have some bling!
I cut some Basic White labels using the small banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set and hand wrote names on each. Then I adhered them to the frames with a little Liquid Glue.
The badge lanyards came in pretty fabric gift bags so…I just tied the tags to the pretty gift bags!
The Joyful Squares bundle is a fun little number – I really like the versatile dies in the set. Add some pretty Square Snippets DSP – and a die cut banner from the Creative Haven die set – it’s an easy matter to make pretty gift tags for any occasion!
I hope you like!

RETIRED SHOP
Last week, Stampin’ UP! Updated the Last Chance Store and the Discontinued List. So…my Retired Shop got a big influx of new (used!) goodies!
Here’s the deets:
– Most of the items are gently used, but are in very good condition. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, packs of Designer Series Paper are “full” packs.
– All stamp sets are cling mount or photopolymer.
– Shipping is $8 per order no matter how much you purchase!
– The items are first come, first served so try to go through the checkout process as quickly as possible so that you don’t miss out on any of the items that you want (the store doesn’t have a way to “hold” things in your cart for you). If you notice that an item is no longer available when you go through the checkout process, that means that someone else has purchased it and it’s sold out.
– I can only ship to addresses in the US (or to military APO addresses) and USPS tracking will be included
– Items were added to the “Out of Catalog” and “Kits” categories – but be sure to check the other categories, too, if you haven’t in a while!
Happy Shopping!
Stampin’ Up! has some exciting changes coming in the new catalog!
Price Increases Coming

Due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories:
– Select Stampin’ Cut & Emboss product
– 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

– In addition, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will also see an upcoming price increase.
We not been given 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’ll be getting to see the new May-August 2026 Catalog SOON (like…next week when I attend OnStage out in California) and I can’t wait to see the new catalogs moving forward. I think this new streamlined approach is going to be a really good thing!
New Magnetic Ink Pads – and a peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!
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
Aren’t they so pretty?! I’m looking forward to getting my preorder (yep – already put it in!) – so I can show them to you “in person”!!
