Let’s Talk Kits

Whether you’re escaping with us or crafting from your kitchen table, Stampin’ Up!® kits make it easy to keep that creative spark glowing. These ready-to-create boxes are my go-to when I want to make something right now – no prep, no cleanup, no decision fatigue.

Each kit includes everything you need – precut pieces, stamps, ink, and embellishments – so you can skip straight to the fun part. The Kits Collection has projects for every occasion, while the Scrapbooking Workshop Kits are perfect for capturing memories without pulling out your entire craft closet.

They’re also fantastic for travel or gifting – because nothing says “I get you” like a box full of creativity.

Advantages of kits:

  1. Predesigned – no effort on your part
  2. All in one box – no need to search for or cut pieces
  3. Great for travel, gifting, or quick projects
  4. Lots of great cards or 3D projects for sharing or decorating
  5. When you’re done with many of the kits, you have a stamp set and ink spot to use on other projects.

Changes Are A-Comin’ – Fun Times!

Announcing the Retirement of Stampin’ Write Markers

Hold onto your crafting hats because we have some bittersweet news to share! We’re bidding a fond farewell to our beloved Stampin’ Write Markers, and trust me, you won’t want to miss out!

As of August 20, 2025, these colorful companions will make their way to the realm of Last Chance Products, available only while supplies last!

Why not add a splash of color to your projects before they vanish! Get your creative juices flowing and share your favorite masterpiece using these markers. Keep your craftiness alive and make the magic happen! Don’t let them slip through your fingers and grab them while you can! You can purchase the entire regular line of markers as shown here or in individual color sets plus the current In-Colors.

Cling Stamps Are Being Phased Out

If you’re like me you loved that red rubber for the crisp clear images but key raw materials needed to make cling stamps (red rubber stamps) are becoming increasingly difficult to come by some no longer being manufactured at all! In addition, so many love the clear photopolymer stamps because they’re so easy to position since you can see through them. Change, my dear friends, is always hard but this will also be a good thing.

Because photopolymer are thinner we will be transitioning to a sleeker, slimmer packaging. This will mean it takes a lot less space to store stamps which is amazing! In fact, stamps AND dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to our current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork, too. The new organizers will be available for purchase separately in packs of 10 as part of the November 2025 Online Exclusives. And the current DVD-style stamp cases will continue to be offered while there is demand for them.

I don’t know about you but I’m truly excited for the new changes. It will take thinking about new ways to store my stamp and die bundles but since it takes up less space, I’m excited to see what will be on the horizon for stamp storage. I hope you’re excited, too!! Let me know your thoughts below! I’d love to hear from you.

BOGO Suite Sale Now till the End of June!

Starting today, June 3, all available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off! If you’ve had your eye on a new suite or you really like the look of a stamp set from an Online Exclusives suite, you don’t have to choose—you can get both!

  • When you shop the sale, the 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item.
  • To maximize your BOGO savings, I suggest you purchase Bundles or Suites together. If you’re buying two Suites, DO NOT add individual items—like Designer Series Paper from a Suite—separately, as the paper may end up being the item that’s 50% off instead of the higher-priced Suite.
  • Pro Tip:  Since the 50% off will apply to the lowest priced suite items in your order, it may be beneficial to place multiple orders to ensure the 50% off is maximized in each transaction.
  • MIX IT UP! Examples of how the sale works:
    • #1 Buy a full suite and get another suite for half off
      • Remember you get Stampin’ Rewards, too!! BEST DEAL
    • #2 Buy a bundle, get another bundle for half off.
      • On example #2 you save and still get your Stampin’ Rewards!!
    • #3 Buy a set of DSP, get another set of DSP for half off
      • On example #3 Stampin’ Rewards.
    • #4 Buy any other part of a Suite and the lower-priced item is half off.
    • #5 DO NOT buy a full Suite, another suite AND a roll of ribbon – the ribbon will end up as your half price item. Be sure you’re checking your cart.
  • Suite collections are available if all items are in stock; if all items are not in stock, you can still shop the available suite products.
  • You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same suite collection for the discount to apply. You can buy any suite products from any suite.
  • The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart.
  • Products are available only while supplies last.

HINT: If your order at least $72 you’ll get your best shipping price value. If you’re ordering less than $72 in product let me know and I’ll see how I can help you out.

Get your wish lists ready! You can see all the product suites available here.

Month by Month Album Retreat 2025 Kit

Why I’m Looking Forward the Album Retreat—and Why You Will Too!

I absolutely love the Album Retreat—and let me tell you why it’s one of my favorite events of the year!

It’s fun, it’s creative, and best of all—all the work is done for you. Each kit includes 12 double-page layouts, completely pre-cut and beautifully packaged, so you can jump right into crafting without the prep. You’ll also learn fun new techniques using exclusive stamps you won’t find anywhere else.

The techniques you’ll learn during the retreat will not only make you a better scrapbooker, but a better artist overall—many of them can even be adapted for cardmaking and other paper crafts, giving you endless creative value beyond the retreat itself.

Whether you’re building a month-by-month family album or creating a meaningful gift for a baby, newlywed, or graduate—this retreat helps you complete a full album with ease and joy. Each layout is pre-designed, pre-cut, and ready to assemble, so you can focus on the fun part: creating something beautiful and meaningful without the stress.

What makes it even better? You get complete color directions and an invitation to a private Facebook page, where the class videos are posted—you can watch live or catch the replay anytime. That means you can create this album from your own craft room in your comfiest slippers, or get together with friends and enjoy a mini retreat of your own. Do it live, or whenever it works for you!

Why I personally love it? My scrapbook for the year will be DONE—and I didn’t have to measure or design a thing. Just open the kit, follow along, and enjoy the creative process.

This event is a total win:

  • Comes ready to assemble.
  • Videos to walk you through the whole thing.
  • When finished, you’ll have a 2-page Layout for every month.
  • You’ll be learning some great techniques.
  • You’ll earn Stampin’ Rewards, too!

But don’t wait—quantities are limited and these kits are only available while supplies last.

Available starting tomorrow, 5/28 while supplies last!
