Hello and Happy New Year! There is so much going on and it’s only January 3. I can’t wait for you to see what is in store this year. Read the announcements below and don’t miss the video content at the bottom of this post
January – April Mini Catalog
This catalog sales period begins on Tuesday January 6. Viewing and shopping online is fantastic (plus you can see the Online Exclusives!) but sometimes it’s fun to have a hard copy in your hands and enjoy turning the pages and soaking up all the delicious content page by page. I understand! If you are local and would like to pick up a catalog, just set that up with me. I have catalogs in stock. If you are not local and would like a copy mailed to you, just request it and I’ll work this out with you. If you joined Stamp Club for 2026, I have your complimentary copy for you. You can pick up early, or collect it at Stamp Club on Wednesday January 14.
Product of the Month
This began in December but you might have missed it! This is a new promotion being offered by Stampin’ Up! Each month there will be a limited, exclusive item (might be paper, ink, stamps, dies etc) offered for only $5 as an Add-On to any order that hits a $75 subtotal. This is a fun way of earning a little something extra for those more-substantial orders that you might place. There is no sneak peek or advance view – the monthly item is unknown until it becomes available AND it is while supplies last. So plan your purchases for early in the month when it is more likely to be in stock. Also, only 1 per customer no matter how much more you spend. This allows the item to be more available to more people each month. The POM shown in the picture above was some beautiful DSP that was offered in December. At $5 is was a great deal! I can’t wait to see what the January POM will be!
Virtual Card Retreat
This is the first of it’s kind! Based on the wildly successful Virtual Scrap Retreat, a few months ago, it was a natural conclusion that offering a card-making retreat could be equally successful. During this Virtual Event, you’ll make 15 cards! I’ve seen many of the samples and these cards do NOT disappoint. By purchasing the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat kit, you’ll get access to the exclusive Facebook group where the live event will stream. Participate live or watch the videos later at your own pace.
There is no need to register. Once you purchase the Kit, you’ll have automatic access to the Retreat site. You can get the Kit here: https://www.stampinup.com/products/2026-virtual-card-making-retreat-english?demoid=1434
NEW YouTube Memberships
Coming in 2026 are my YouTube Memberships. Membership allows you additional access to exclusive video tutorials, card swaps, Craft-Alongs, Mystery Stamping and more! More on how to join coming soon.
Bonus Days
Yep! Just in sync with the new January – April mini catalog AND the new online exclusives!! Stack your savings! (With a $100 order, you’d earn 2 $5 coupons to redeem in February and you can add the POM for only $5.) Of course you always earn your own Rewards on every order over $20 as well. So many reasons to stock up on basics or get some bright, shiny new stuff.
Stamp Club 2026
Stamp Club continues in 2026 beginning with our first meet on Wednesday January 14. We have room for YOU. If you live within driving distance, consider joining us this year! We meet once per month, on the second Wednesday. There is a 10am Club and a 6pm Club. Choose what works for you. Can’t commit? Try dropping in as a guest. Check for open seats at least 1 day in advance and ask about class fee for guests.
Also…did you know that there is another perk to being on my Team and joining Stamp Club? Members of Stamp Club who are ALSO Demonstrators (on my team) can participate in Club without making additional purchases. You fulfill your Club commitment by doing your own Demonstrator Order each month. You get to participate AND you contribute to your own quarterly minimum. It’s a Win-Win for you. Curious at how this works? Just ask for details.
INSIDE Scoop…For My Team
Going on RIGHT NOW is Onstage Registration. We are SO lucky to have it in Long Beach CA this year. No airfare! Dates and all info are on the Stampin’ Up! ® website. If you have not already registered, do so quickly. In the past it has filled up and sold out. Don’t delay.
Also happening NOW is your Demonstrator Pre-Order. Order some new mini catalog items and/or online exclusives before they are available to the public on January 6. Take advantage of this benefit and order the “trending items” before they sell out!
SHOUT OUT – Way to go Cheryl! Cheryl had an unbelievable sales month in December. This is remarkable as many of us have consistently low sales in December due to taking breaks from classes, Club etc. Fantastic work and Congrats Cheryl!!
Looking for something to get new customers? I’m having great luck with Kit classes. Set up a phone or Zoom call with me if you want to pick my brain.
