Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Happy Star Wars Day!! Who’s a big Star Wars fan out there? I still haven’t seen all the movies, I catch bits and pieces here and there when someone is watching them in my home, but I’ve never sat and watched the whole movie.

I wanted to share a new feature that’s in effect when you place an order in my Online Store.

Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!

Stampin’ Up! has been asked many times “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” I’m excited to tell you that you will now be able to do just that! 

If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually. 
After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.
When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns.
We hope this new feature makes shopping even more convenient for you!

Latest on Cloud Cover Ink Pad

Stampin’ Up! let us know the issue with our Cloud Cover ink is complex. An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when the ink is paired with the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads, resulting in a shift in the color of the ink.
While there’s no silver lining to reverse the chemistry causing the fluctuation in color, we have identified several ways to make the most of the situation.

Alternative Options:

• Because the actual Cloud Cover ink formula performs well before it’s added to a foam pad, all is not lost for customers who want to get in on the inky action. Our Stampin’ Spots are made using felt, and we haven’t seen this unpredictable chemical response occur with this material.
• At the time the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog is available to order, we will offer the Stampin’ Spot Assortment Pack (166716), which will include the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot! This product will be available to customers and demonstrators.
• The Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot won’t be sold outside of the assortment pack, but you can pair the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with the Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822) to achieve a consistently accurate hue. Plus, the ink refill is a very technique-friendly product in general, making it a great core supply to have on hand!
• While these solutions don’t provide a full-sized ink pad option, they do give access to the ink.
• You can also ink your stamps using the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker, available in the
  2025–2027 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (165292) collection. This technique works especially well with cling stamps.

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class Sunday May 18th

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

The class requirements:

• Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)
• Once you have made your purchase Click Here to sign up

Once you sign up you will receive:

• Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
• PDF with detailed directions and photos
• A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.

Class Sign up Deadline: Sunday May 11th at 5pm ET
