Hi Stampers,

There’s a lot of exciting news to share this month, and I’m so glad you’re here. My Easter Basket Online Fun Fold Cardmaking Class has been very popular, and there are only a few days left to register if you’d like to join us. The March Online Exclusives are now available, giving you even more fresh products to create with. Stampin’ Up! has also announced an upcoming change to their catalog schedule, combining the annual and mini catalogs into a new hybrid catalog released three times a year. With a small price increase coming in the new catalog, this is a great time to stock up on the products you use most. We’ll also be saying goodbye to the current In Colors and welcoming a beautiful new set—along with a brand-new magnetic ink pad case design.

Of course, I’m also including my usual tips, ideas, and inspiration to help you get the most out of your supplies. I hope this newsletter leaves you feeling inspired and ready to create. Thank you so much for supporting my business. It truly means more than you know.

Happy stamping,
Lisa Ann

March Online Exclusives

New Online Exclusive Items arrived on March 3, 2026. These products do not appear in any catalog and are only available online. For those of you who prefer a printed catalog, Stampin' Up! has now designed a PDF that looks very similar to a catalog that you can print out to help you decide what to order.

Starting in May, Stampin’ Up! is refreshing the way we share products in print, with a new, streamlined catalog strategy designed to make shopping from our catalogs easier and more intuitive. Instead of an annual catalog and multiple minis, we 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 a well-rounded, easy-to-shop print experience that supports confident ordering, 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 customers to browse, discover, and shop by product category. They also highlight the different ways people enjoy crafting, with products and project ideas organized around three crafting experiences—Step-by-Step, Quick & Easy, and Creativity Your Way—so you can quickly find what fits your needs, time, and creative style.

In today's economy price increases are happening everywhere and Stampin' Up! is no exception. They held off as long as they could but effective May 5, 2026, several items will see a moderate price adjustment due to higher production costs. Fortunately for us, Stampin' Up! lets us now ahead of time, giving us the opportunity to stock up on items BEFORE the prices go up! So, make your list and order soon to save yourself some money.

With a new May catalog on the way, that means new in-colors are headed our way and these 2024-2026 in-colors are on their way out! In fact, several things are already on low inventory. If you want to be sure that you don't run our of products in these out-going in-colors, I suggest you shop now so you don't miss out!

2026-2028 In-Colors

This year brings some exciting updates to our ink pads. Not only are we welcoming new In Colors, but they will also debut in a brand-new magnetic case design. After listening to feedback from demonstrators and customers, Stampin’ Up! is transitioning to a style similar to the cases previously used by Close To My Heart.

These redesigned ink pads feature a magnet-based, stackable case, a cleaner and easier opening system, a secure snap-tight closure, and a felt pad that holds more ink. Each feature was thoughtfully created to make stamping simpler, cleaner, and more enjoyable.

These new ink pads will start rolling out in May, starting with the 2026-2028 In Colors:

• Barely Blush
• Crisp Cantaloupe (returning color)
• Golden Glow
• Peaceful Pine
• Hydrangea Hue

The rest of the Stampin’ Up! color collection will remain in the current ink pad cases until next year, when the next color refresh takes place.

While the new design offers some wonderful improvements, your current ink pads will continue to work beautifully. There is no need to replace what you already own unless you simply want to update your collection.

One helpful note: the new cases will be slightly narrower and about 3/4 inch longer, but they are still designed to fit in our current storage solutions.
