What’s New from Stampin’ Up! OnStage Long Beach — Full Recap

I’ve just returned from an unforgettable weekend at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Event in Long Beach, California — and I am still riding that creative high! ✨

There is truly nothing like gathering with thousands of fellow demonstrators who share the same passion for paper crafting, connection, and all things Stampin’ Up! I spent the weekend reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and soaking up every moment of the inspiration this event brings.

One of my absolute favorite parts? Time with my Stamp It Group. 💕 We laughed, we crafted, we learned, and we made memories I’ll be talking about for months. That is the magic of this community — the bonds we build around a craft table are something truly special.

Now, I know you’re curious about what went down — and I have so much to share! Some details are still under wraps (you know how it goes — some things you had to be there to see! 😉), but the moment we get the green light, you will be the first to know.

What I can share right now? There’s a lot of exciting news coming your way! Keep reading for a peek at what’s ahead, including:

• New Catalog Details – release changes and how to get your copy
• New Magnetic Ink Pad Cases and In Colors
• New Shimmer Brushes
• New Basic Black Hybrid Ink Pad
• New White Gel Pens 
• New Impressions Dies & Plate 
• New Scenic Coast Specialty Paper reveal

3 Catalogs a Year – No More Annual (but it’s ok here’s why)

Stampin’ Up! is completely refreshing how catalogs work.

Beginning with this catalog, instead of one large annual catalog, we’ll now have three hybrid catalogs each year, combining the best of both a mini catalog and an annual catalog into one easy-to-shop experience.

New Catalog Cycles:

January – April
May – August
September – December

Each catalog will include:

• Brand new products
• Customer-favorite staples
• Shopping by product category (yes — it’s back!)

This is going to make finding what you need faster and easier than ever.

Get Your Hands on the New Stampin’ Up! Catalog! 

• Already a customer? If you’ve placed an order in my online store since December, you’ll automatically receive a FREE hard copy — no action needed! Just make sure I’m selected as your demonstrator in the online store. This step is so important — if I’m not listed as your demonstrator, the system won’t know to send you one!
• Create & Craft Class customers — if you’ve purchased one of my classes since December, you’re also eligible for a FREE catalog! Just drop me a note to let me know you’d like one. (I’ll also be reaching out to remind you — I’ve got you covered! 💕)
• Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators — your free catalog will come directly from Stampin’ Up! with the first order you place after pre-order begins.
• New? No worries! You can pre-order a hard copy of the catalog in my online store for just $6 — which covers shipping. Catalogs will be mailed out mid-April.

NEW INK PAD CASES 

Beginning May 2026, the new ink pad design will roll out — starting with the new In Colors only.

Here’s what you need to know:

Felt Ink Pad Surface

We’re returning to a felt-style pad, which many stampers love for:

• Rich, even ink coverage
• Beautiful image transfer
• Excellent performance with detailed stamps

Magnetic, Stackable Case Design

Yes… magnetic. The new style is thoughtfully engineered, beautifully functional, and completely top of the line. With an easy, mess-free open and a snap-tight closure, we think you’ll agree it’s one of the coolest ink pad cases available.

The new cases:

• Feature a magnetic closure
• Easy to open
• Are designed to be stackable
• Will still work with our current Stampin’ Up! storage systems
• Size: 4-15/16″ x 3-3/8″ x 5/8″
• Price $14.00

Gradual Transition Plan

This isn’t an overnight change.

• The new pads will debut with the 2026–2028 In Colors
• In 2027, all ink colors will transition as part of a planned color revamp
• The current pad style will be gradually phased out

And most importantly…

There is NO need to replace your current ink pads.
They will continue to work beautifully throughout this transition. Use what you have. Love what you have. Replace as needed over time.

NEW SHIMMER BRUSHES

Obsessed with all things sparkly? The you’ll love the new In 2026-28 In Color Shimmer Brushes! 
$10 each.

NEW BASIC BLACK INK PAD

Say hello to your new go-to! This ink pad handles both watercolor and Stampin’ Blends alcohol Markers. It’s waterproof, fade resistant and fast drying. Permanent, acid ink.
$12.00 

Replaces Memento Black and Staz On Black Ink.

NEW WHITE GEL PENS

White Gel pens are back and better than ever! They write like butter. See my short video to see it in action. They will come 2 in a pack. $9.00

NEW IMPRESSIONS DIES 

There’s a new way to make an impression – literally!

Impressions dies cut AND emboss in one step for stunning , detailed dimension. Get tactile finish with these new dies and our new Impressions Plate. It’s called a “plate” but it’s more pliable like silicone.

These will give crisp cuts while adding gorgeous 3-D details. 

The Impressions Die shown is the Opulent Oasis and it is part of a bundle. 

SCENIC COAST SPECIALTY PAPER

This was my prize patrol. It’s iridescent foil and super cool! Still photos don’t pick up the shine like the video and in person.

 It’s part of the Scenic Coast Suite which I’ll be able to share when Linda and I do our unboxing of the new catalog. 

48 sheets: 8 each of 6 double sided designs. 6″ x 6″ Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Strawberry Slush. $17.00
