I am a quasi-hobby independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I do not book parties but I specialize in one on one instruction plus I still wanted a space to show off my cards and share advice about stamping and papercraft. Enjoy! All stamped images and paper are (c) Stampin' Up.

April-May 2025 Stampin’ Up! News

I'm behind on posting updates! Don't you hate it when real life stuff interferes with your crafting time? Like many Calgarians, we qualified for a new roof after last year's summer hailstorm. The roof installation went fine, but there wasn't enough flashing around the chimney and it LEAKED after a snow melt.

It's all good now, but I used up way too much mental energy. It took three visits from the roofer to fit the problem, grrr!

Anyway, there's a lot of Stampin' Up! news to share besides a new Annual Catalogue.

First up, you may have already heard about changes to Stampin' Rewards. Other changes include:
  • Workshop orders and host codes are no longer an option--that means no more party orders although parties can still happen
  • Stampin' Rewards are now individually earned as opposed to a host getting all the rewards
  • Stampin' Rewards now have an expiry date--earned rewards expire 12 months after earning them

Tariffs! While tariffs are not new, the constantly changing tariff landscape means that SU is always trying to find new ways to keep costs low and find ways to run as efficiently as possible. As a demonstrator, I love that SU always keeps demos in the loop--and when I hear something, I'll be sure to pass it along on Facebook or this blog.

Paper Pumpkin item has moved! Where? Over to SU's main website :-D You can still create or manage a subscription--you just don't have to go to a separate website now. Customers don't always see this on the front end, but as a demo, there were several systems that didn't really talk to each other. It happens with any large organization and SU has been working hard over the past couple of years on a Digital Platform Unification (DPU) project. Their efforts have made life easier for customers and demos?

Where's Cloud Cover? You might have noticed that one of the new 2025-2027 In Colors, Cloud Cover, was unavailable to order when the new Annual Catalogue launched. Now and then a product doesn't perform as expected and SU will make it unorderable. The good news is you can add Cloud Cover ink to your next order!




Until next time...
