Hello Hydrangea Hue!

Instead of one Annual Catalogue and two Mini Catalogues per year, Stampin' Up! has moved to 3 distinct Catalogues per year. They will each run for 4 months, with no overlap: January-April, May-August and September-December. My regular customers should have received their May-August Catalogue in the mail by now. If you haven't received yours, and would like one, please let me know. Note: if you 'opt out' of contact in your Online Account, I am unable to send you a Catalogue, but you can change this setting when you log in.

One of the best parts of a new Catalogue is a new batch of In Colors. The 2026-28 batch is so soft and pretty. I always like to start by making a card featuring each new In Color. 

I am starting with Hydrangea Hue, sure to be a crowd favourite. On all my cards this week, I am featuring the Exciting Times Bundle (see it on page 42 of the new Catalogue). I love the convenience of a stamp set and punch bundle. I have also used the Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper, which is available in 12"x12" sheets in all the colour families (page 66).

When you purchase the new In Color inkpads, you will notice a new inkpad case design. They are now easier to open and feature a magnetic lid. I'm loving them!

May Product of the Month!

WHAT IS PRODUCT OF THE MONTH? 

If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centred around a special product release every month. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogues or our Online Exclusives. 

Every month a new item will be released that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good! They can be unlocked for just $9 with a single order over $125 (after discounts and rewards). 

May's Product of the Month is the Berry Botanical Vellum:

Enhance your paper crafting and card making with Berry Botanical Vellum 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper includes four patterns: two sheets of florals and two versatile designs that coordinate with the florals or stand alone. Use as backgrounds or cut out individual elements to use as accents. In the pack you'll receive 12 sheets: 3 each of 4 single-sided designs. The colours are: Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Golden Glow, Hydrangea Hue, Misty Moonlight, Peaceful Pine, Soft Sea Foam, Strawberry Slush.  

The Berry Botanicals Vellum  is the exclusive Product of the Month for May 2026, available only while stocks last! Grab yours for only $9 with a $125 order!

NEW May-August 2026 Catalogue!

Usually at this time of year, Stampin' Up! would be releasing a new Annual Catalogue, but they have changed things up, and instead of 1 Annual Catalogue and 2 Mini Catalogues per year, we now have 3 distinct Catalogues. The release schedule will feel familiar: Jan-Apr, May-Aug and Sept-Dec. Each Catalogue runs for 4 months, with no overlap. 

So, without further ado, here is our first May-August Catalogue! It's larger than the Minis you are used to, and products are separated into sections, AND the last few pages contain separate listings for DSP, embellishments, dies, etc. Hooray! I think you'll find everything is much easier to find. 

 Click HERE to view the Catalogue 

If you'd like a copy to keep by your bedside/read in the bath/show off to your friends just email me with your address, and I'll pop a free copy in the mail for you (Australian residents only please).

All of the products in this Catalogue are available until 31st August, while stocks last.

2026-2028 In Color Thank You Cards

I needed a batch of thank you cards, and what better excuse to play with the new batch of In Colors? Not only are the five 2026-2028 In Colors beautiful on their own, all five work together really well too. Here they are - Hydrangea Hue, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine. 

I've used the Boutique Blossoms Dies to cut out a bunch of flowers and leaves using all the new colours and then arranged them on a stitched scalloped circle (from the new Scalloped Blooms dies). The sentiment is from the co-ordinating Scalloped Blooms stamp set. In the background I added some texture with the new Floral Spray 3D embossing folder. I embellished with some of the very cute 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies.

Here are some of the other variations, all the same but different:

Exciting Day tomorrow! The new May-August Catalogue begins, along with May Online Exclusives, and a new Product of the Month, AND some new Kits too. Phew! Too much excitement to handle!

Shell Collecting Card Set

Here is my set of cards, made using the Shell Collecting stamp set. You can find this set on page 67 of the January-April Mini Catalogue, and I was inspired by the cards featured there too.

The colours I've used here are Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral. A bit different, but I really love how they look together! To add texture, I used the Linen Look stamp and also the Soft Waves embossing folder. I also made use of the Stylish Shapes dies. The sentiments (stamped in Crumb Cake) are from Product of the Month stamp set Fabulous Sayings. You might have noticed, I've been using this one A LOT, and loving it!

For embellishment I've used all-time favourite Linen Thread along with some Antique Pearls.

Just Because Shell Collecting

Here is my third card, made using the Shell Collecting stamp set. You can find this set on page 67 of the January-April Mini Catalogue, and I was inspired by the cards featured there too.

The colours I've used here are Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral. A bit different, but I really love how they look together! The Linen Look stamp is a great one for adding a subtle background. I cut out my shells and arranged them on some die-cut Stylish Shapes squares.

For embellishment I've used all-time favourite Linen Thread along with some Antique Pearls.

Birthday Shell Collecting

Here's another card that I made using the Shell Collecting stamp set. You can find this one on page 67 of the January-April Mini Catalogue, and I was inspired by the cards featured there too.

The colours I've used here are Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral. A bit different, but I really love how they look together! Did you know that the stamps in the stamp set are reversible? I stamped the shells and then flipped the stamps on the block to fill them in. I stamped off first, for a softer look. I then used the Soft Waves embossing folder over the top to add some texture. I also used the Linen Look stamp for a subtle background on my card base. The sentiment (stamped in Crumb Cake) is from Product of the Month stamp set Fabulous Sayings. You might have noticed, I've been using this one A LOT, and loving it!

For embellishment I've used all-time favourite Linen Thread along with some Antique Pearls.

Hello Shell Collecting

I haven't made any ocean-themed cards for a while, so I succumbed and bought the Shell Collecting stamp set. You can find this one on page 67 of the January-April Mini Catalogue, and I was inspired by the cards featured there too.

The colours I've used here are Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral. A bit different, but I really love how they look together! The Linen Look stamp is a great one for adding a subtle background. You might need to zoom in to see it! I cut out my shells and arranged them on a die-cut Stylish Shapes circle. The sentiment (stamped in Crumb Cake) is from Product of the Month stamp set Fabulous Sayings. You might have noticed, I've been using this one A LOT, and loving it!

For embellishment I've used all-time favourite Linen Thread along with some Antique Pearls.

Splash of Sparkles Card Set

Here's my set of cards made using the Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper... I've used silver paired with the cool colours and gold with the warmer colours. There's gold/silver embossing for the sentiment, some gold/silver foil, and some gold/silver Metallic Gems too. The waterolour wash behind the sentiments are also part of the Designer Series Paper. I had fun making this set!
