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.

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 6th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $65.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Have you been wanting to try the Two-Tone Cardstock but didn’t want to buy a whole pack? You can add a share of the 4 different Two-Tone Cardstock packs for an additional $6 or purchase them separately for $6 + $9 Priority Shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each color from each of the packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

• Celebrate Together (6)
• Memories in Bloom (6)
• Turtle-y Cute (6)
• Weekend Adventures (6)

In all, you’ll receive 24 – 6” x 6” sheets of cardstock!

If you’d like double shares of the designer paper or cardstock, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

New Ribbon Share – $20.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

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.

********************************************************************************************************

Coming Soon – Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!

“Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” We are excited to announce that in the next week or so, you will 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!

Stampin’ Up! has updated their Rewards Program!

With the new Stampin’ Rewards program, you’ll be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on orders of $20+!  Yippee!!  Here are the basics:

• Starting April 15 and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
• You can save your rewards for up to a year!  So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time.
• Additionally, the “host code” has gone away, so you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.
  • That does mean that my $10 thank you gifts have also gone away since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!

What won’t be changing:
My Running Shoe Rewards program will not be changing.  So no worries there!  You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+!  And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid.  So you won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.

What should you know now?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

• You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
  • I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts.  I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me.  But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
• You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order on or after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
  • This is what the popup to opt-in will look like when you log into your stampinup.com account beginning April 15, click the “get started” button to go through the opt-in process to start earning your rewards:
  • 
• If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account or if you’d prefer to pay with Paypal or call/email me with your order, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases.  I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.  So don’t worry about setting up an account if you don’t want to.
• If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m excited for you all to earn rewards on orders of $20+ and for you to continue to earn Running Shoe Reward Points from me with every order of $50+ no matter how you order!

Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m happy to help!

*********************************************************************************************************

There are bunches of Online Exclusives that are available to order from Stampin’ Up!!  Head over to the online store Right Here to see them all!

Happy Stamping, Karen

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today? It’s Tax Day!! I’m not liking this day so much this year. For the first time in forever we had to pay. I was not happy when I heard that, and you know I am waiting until the very last minute to send them my money. It’s also a very happy day, it’s my puppy, Gidget’s gotcha day. One year ago, today I adopted this adorable little girl. She is such a little snuggle buddy, but she is also a little terror and thief. One minute she’s sound asleep and the next she’s stealing something and running with it. She’s still a puppy, so I’m hoping she gets better in another year, but I wouldn’t trade her in for anything. Her and Coraline are the best of friends and do everything together.

Stampin’ Up! New Rewards Program beginning Today, April 15!

The Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years is now gone.  You’ll be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders beginning today April 15!  Here are the basics:

• You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you did with the Stampin’ Rewards system.
• Starting today, April 15 at 2 PM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So, if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
  • NOTE:  The Stampin’ Up! online store will be offline from 8 AM MT until 2 PM MT on April 15 for the updates.  So you won’t be able to order in that time frame.
• You can save your rewards for up to a year!  So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time.
• Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.
  • That does mean that my $10 thank you gifts are also going away since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!

What won’t be changing:
My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing.  So, no worries there!  You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+!  And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid.  So, you won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

• You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
  • I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts.  I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me.  But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
• You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order on or after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
  • This is what the popup to opt-in will look like when you log into your stampinup.com account beginning April 15, click the “get started” button to go through the opt-in process to start earning your rewards:
  • If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account or if you’d prefer to pay with Paypal or call/email me with your order, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases. 
  • If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.
  • Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 2 PM Mountain Time. Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon and for you to continue to earn Creative Stamping Designs Reward Points from me with every order of $50+ no matter how you order!
  • Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m happy to help!

Happy Stamping, Karen

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the new week. How was your weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I stayed in most of the day yesterday except to take my pup for a walk. The sun didn’t come out until after 4pm and it was just a gloomy day.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some beautiful new DSP and 2 new stamp sets coming on May 6th from the Annual Catalog. I let the DSP do most of the work for me today. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper, Damask Designs Embossing Folder and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Emboss 2 panels of the Beautiful Gallery DSP using the Damask Designs EF. Adhere the 1 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel to the left side of the Mossy Meadow card front using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the front of the Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Adhere the sentiment to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment to the card front, hanging over the edge, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using thew Basic Beige 3/8″ Classic Ribbon and adhere it to the panel of DSP using a Glue Dot. Add a Pressed Flower Motifs embellishment to the sentiment.

Adhere the 1″ panel of embossed Beautiful Gallery DSP to the inside right edge of the Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Stamp the large flower image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the large flower image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. Stamp the small flower bud image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card, and you have this suite on your wish list for May. Happy Stamping!!

Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

NEW Stampin’ Up! Reward Program Coming in April 15th

Stampin’ Up! will be updating their Reward Program starting April 15th. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April.  You’ll soon be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  Here are the basics:

This does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 13 since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!

You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system. 

Starting April 15 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!

You can save your rewards for up to a year!  So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time. 

Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so beginning April 15, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.

What won’t be changing:
My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing.  So, no worries there!  You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+!  And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid.  You won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.  

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

• You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
  • I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts.  I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me.  But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
• You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
• If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases.  I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.
• If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.

Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 8 AM Mountain Time.  I’m notifying you a little early so that you are ready for these changes.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon!

Starting Tuesday, April 15, all Paper Pumpkin subscription purchases will qualify for rewards through the new Stampin’ Rewards program.
 

Here are the new prices for the Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions:

You can make edits to your Paper Pumpkin account (once you’ve claimed it, see the note below with information about how to claim your kit) on the Stampin’ Up! website at stampinup.com/paperpumpkin

Paper Pumpkin accounts will no longer be managed on a separate website at paperpumpkin.com.  It’s all going to merge with the stampinup.com site!

Starting March 11th at 8 AM MT, you’ll only need to log into your Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com to start or manage your Paper Pumpkin subscription! 

Initially you will need to “claim” your paperpumpkin.com account in the subscriptions area of your Stampin’ Up! online store account.  So be sure you know and can access the email that your Paper Pumpkin account is currently under (claiming can occur on or after March 11th).  Then you will have full access to all the editing options.

Click here for an informative PDF and click here for a video on managing your account(s).

Prepaid subscriptions are also changing a bit.  The One Month Prepaid subscription is going away since gifting will be so much easier (check out the video for the details!).  There will no longer be a slight discount with the 6 and 12 month subscriptions.  But with the new customer rewards program you will earn when purchasing the new 3, 6 or 12 month prepaid subscriptions!

Yay for an easier way to manage your Paper Pumpkin subscription coming very soon!!

Cardstock Price Increasing with the 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog

Stampin’ Up! heard us loud and clear and they are not discontinuing Thick Basic White cardstock in 8-1/2″ x 11″ after all!!  So it won’t be going away!!  YAY!!!!  

In light of steadily increasing production costs, Stampin’ Up! made a few updates to their cardstock offerings.

WHY THE CHANGE?
Over the years, Stampin’ Up! has worked diligently to manage rising costs while balancing high-quality standards and remaining competitive in the market. The costs for raw materials and production have continued to climb, and only a select few mills around the world are qualified to produce our heavyweight, dyed-through cardstock, ensuring it meets our color and quality standards.

WHAT’S CHANGING?

• 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock:
  • All single-color cardstock packages will now contain 24 sheets (including Basic White and Very Vanilla).
  • Assortments will contain 20 sheets.
  • Prices will be $14 for both single-color and assortment packs.
  • 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Basic Cardstock will be discontinued, Thick Basic White Cardstock will be available in 12″ x 12″ packs beginning with the new Annual Catalog in early May.
• 12″ x 12″ cardstock:
  • Our heavyweight, dyed-through cardstock and Basic White Thick Cardstock packages will contain 24 sheets.
  • 12″ x 12″ dyed cardstock will be $22.
  • 12″ x 12″ Basic White Thick Cardstock will be $26
  • We’re also expanding our 12″ x 12″ offerings with Two-Tone cardstock available in single-color packages in all colors.
  • We will no longer offer 12″ x 12″ dyed cardstock in assortments but will continue to provide 12″ x 12″ Two-Tone assortments that coordinate with our Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheets.
• OTHER PRODUCT UPDATES:
  • Pricing and configuration for our 12″ x 12″ Two-Tone cardstocks and White Willow 12″ x 12″ Cardstock remain unchanged.
  • In addition to the changes mentioned above, you will notice a handful of other price increases, which are typical in a new catalog.

So, stock up on those card stock packs now ahead of the price increases!  You can find the card stock in the online store here.

NEW Stampin’ Up! Reward Program Coming in Mid-April

Stampin’ Up! will be updating their Reward Program starting April 15th. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April.  You’ll soon be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  Here are the basics:

This does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 15 since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But since you’ll be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything that you’d like on any order that you’d like to use them on!

You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system. 

Starting April 15 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!

You can save your rewards for up to a year!  So you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at at time. 

Additionally, the “host code” will be going away, so beginning April 15, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.

What won’t be changing:
My Creative Stamping Designs Rewards program will not be changing.  So, no worries there!  You’ll still continue to earn reward points toward free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me with every order of $50+!  And any points/rewards/gifts that you’ve collected from me up until this point will still be valid.  You won’t be losing out on anything that you’ve earned from me, and you’ll continue to earn points toward free merchandise with every order of $50+ just like you do now.  

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

• You need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
  • I will not be able to create and manage customer accounts.  I’ll be able to help you with ordering if you need me.  But because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you can log in at stampinup.com.
• You will need to opt into the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after April 15, you’ll have the option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you choose not to opt in with your first order, you’ll have the option to opt in at any point when you order after that.
• If you don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account, you can still order SU products through me. You just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards directly for your purchases.  I’ll receive the rewards and I’ll need to apply them to future orders for you.
• If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.

Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 8 AM Mountain Time.  I’m notifying you a little early so that you are ready for these changes.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m excited for you all to start earning rewards on orders of $20+ soon!

Paper Pumpkin Moved!!

Paper Pumpkin accounts will no longer be managed on a separate website at paperpumpkin.com.  It’s all going to merge with the stampinup.com site!

Starting March 11th at 8 AM MT, you’ll only need to log into your Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com to start or manage your Paper Pumpkin subscription! 

Initially you will need to “claim” your paperpumpkin.com account in the subscriptions area of your Stampin’ Up! online store account.  So be sure you know and can access the email that your Paper Pumpkin account is currently under (claiming can occur on or after March 11th).  Then you will have full access to all the editing options.

Click here for an informative PDF and click here for a video on managing your account(s).

Prepaid subscriptions are also changing a bit.  The One Month Prepaid subscription is going away since gifting will be so much easier (check out the video for the details!).  There will no longer be a slight discount with the 6 and 12 month subscriptions.  But with the new customer rewards program you will earn when purchasing the new 3, 6 or 12 month prepaid subscriptions!

Yay for an easier way to manage your Paper Pumpkin subscription coming very soon!!
