Stampin’ Up! is all about creativity and sharing what we love. And that means providing a compelling selection of high-quality craft supplies in coordinating colors and designs. We’re always working to not only meet trends but set them. That means evaluating and even refreshing our current products—and this year we’re refreshing our complete color collection!

You’ll find some new friends and returning favorites among our Brights, Neutrals, Regals, and Subtles. And you won’t want to miss our new 2023–2025 In Colors. We hope you’re as excited as we are to start crafting with these fresh new colors!

I will let you know as soon as I know what is retiring. Please know ALL products involved in the color refresh will be available while supplies last. Get your ink refill bottles, cardstock, DSP or embellishments now!

Stamping Stray Ducklings – Annual Catalog Favorites!

2 Comments

Welcome to our March Blog Waddle! We are featuring cards from the Annual Catalog this month!!

I picked the Pansy Patch bundle (#155674) for my project. It is such a sweet bundle! The card base is Highland Heather with a Basic White layer. The Soft Succulent In-Color DSP (#159254) is cut with the largest retired Seasonal Layers Die adhered to the layer. The pansy and flowers were die cut with the Pansy Dies (#155680) in Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heater, Soft Succlent, Evening Evergreen, Basic White and Daffodil Delight, and then pieced together. The die is hole-punched and a piece of Soft Succulent Ribbon (#155780) is tied with a piece of White Baker’s Twine (#155475). The sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) was stamped in Highland Heather. Three pearls from the Pastel Pearls (#154571) completed my card!
