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!!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Happy Stamping, Karen

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I can’t believe it’s the middle of March already. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. We are having so much fun here at OnStage. We’ve seen lots of presentations using the new products, and we’ve gotten to play with some new products too.

Thursday afternoon we a group of us headed over to Chico Taco. We had a wonderful lunch while waiting for the first event to start.

Thursday night we got together for a great time having dinner together. Our team enjoys getting together, chatting and laughing until our sides hurt. It was so much fun.

Last night we all enjoyed a great BBQ dinner at Sam Jones before out After-Hours event. Our group took up 3 tables. A lot more laughing and just having fun. If you are interested in joining us for all the fun, contact me, I’d love for you to join us. Time to head out for another fun packed day with lots of demonstrations and laughing.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Stamping Studio on Tuesday for Mystery stamping. Jaimie gave us measurements of card stock and DSP and talked us through putting the card together. I decided to pull out products from the annual catalog since they tend to get forgotten about with all the new products from the mini catalog and Online Exclusives. I got a bit frazzled when she said to adhere things on an angle, I like my cards straight. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flower Cart Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flower Cart Dies and To Market Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of To Market DSP to a Garden Green card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere a panel of Pumpkin Pie to the card front on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere a panel of To Market DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the flowerpot image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. On another panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Garden Green Ink. Stamp the flower image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink over the leaves. Cut the flower out using the Flower Cart Dies. Adhere the flowers to the top of the flowerpots using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of Garden Green Linen Thread around the end of the artwork 3 times and tie a bow.

Adhere the layered artwork to the card front on an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the ends on an angle using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front and a Tiny Bee Trinket by the flowers.

Stamp the sentiment from the Flower Cart stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of To Market DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the flowerpot image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the leaf image from Flower Cart stamp set on top of the flowerpot in Garden Green Ink. Stamp the flower image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink over the leaves. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the flowerpot image from the Flower Cart stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the leaf image in Garden Green Ink and the flowers in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Adhere a panel of To Market DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Product List

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I’m excited for this week. On Thursday I’ll be flying out to our OnStage Event in Raleigh NC. I’m getting so excited about getting together with my team and all the demonstrators, seeing the new catalog and being able to place my pre-order. There’s a certain kind of energy when we go to these events that I just can’t explain.

My Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards for all orders over $50 will be ending Tonight, Monday March 10th.  How does this work? For a $50 you’ll earn 2 rewards, $100 you’ll earn 4 rewards, $150 you’ll earn 6 rewards, etc.  Head over to my Online Store and get those orders in early and don’t forget you MUST use my Current Host Code RSQGVJPH to qualify for your rewards and free gift. 

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

Paper Pumpkin is Moving Tomorrow!!

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

Stock up on the cardstock by tonight and earn Double Rewards.

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.

Online Exclusive Framed Scenes Bundle at an additional 10% discount when you order it through me during sign up.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us!

Start Thinking About Stocking Up on the 2023 – 2025 In-Colors Before They’re Gone

As we all know, the beautiful 2023 – 2025 In Colors will likely be retiring at the end of this catalog on April 30.  Right now is a great time to start stocking up on stamp pads, ink refills, markers and card stock in your favorite colors so that you’re not left scrambling for them when the retiring list is announced.

The retiring list is usually posted in later March or early April and the In Color items on that list become available only while supplies last.  So, order yours now so that you’re guaranteed to get them!! Head over to my ONLINE STORE and shop the In-Colors

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!

Stampin’ Up! shared the following update with Demonstrators today:

In light of steadily increasing production costs, we’ve made a few updates to our 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.

  • 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.
