Register for our Poetry Garden Online Class, Virtual Album Retreat Available March 18 & 2024-2026 In-Colors Retiring Soon

Hi stamping friends, this is my 2nd post today. If you are looking for my card, click Here.

Poetry Garden Online Class Registration Open

Tara Carpenter and I are teaming up to offer a fun online class using Stampin’ Up! March Online Exclusive Poetry Garden Suite.  We will be creating 6 different cards during the class including 2 Fun Fold Cards.  Sign Up now by Clicking Here to reserve your spot.

The class fee includes:

  • Stampin’ Up! Garden Epoxy Dots (full pack)
  • Stampin’ Up! Berry Burst 1/4″ Shiny Ribbon (full pack)
  • Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
  • Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card
  • PDF with detailed directions

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class.  Since the Bundles are already discounted, the discount does not apply to them either.

The class will be held Sunday April 26th from 1 to 4 pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This allows anyone in the United States to participate live!  Can’t join us live… no worries, we will record the session so it can be replayed at any time.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

The bundles are not included in the price of the class.  You can purchase the bundle through me at an additional 10% discount of the Online Exclusive price (see below).

Class Cost $40 + $10 (Shipping)

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price.  I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by April 5th to insure I can get the products delivered, packaged up and out to you with enough time.  

Deadline: Sunday April 5th

Click Here to register for the class now!! Let me know if you have any questions.

New Magnetic Ink Pads – 2026-2028 In-Colors

With the 2024-2026 In-Colors retiring soon, we will be getting a new beautiful set of colors. Introducing the 2026-2028 In-Colors. We will get to play with these colors here at OnStage.

Beginning in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! will introduce new felt ink pads in a magnetic, stackable case design.

  • In 2026, only the new In Colors will be offered in the new magnetic felt pads.
  • In 2027, all ink colors will transition to the new magnetic felt pad as part of a planned color revamp, and the current pad style will be phased out.

Importantly, existing ink pads will remain usable throughout this transition—there is no immediate need to replace what you already own. Please be aware, however, that once the transition takes place, the old ink pad design will only be available while supplies last.

The photo is an early peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!  And they look beautiful!!  The new Magnetic Ink Pads in the new In Colors will be available to order May 5!  The colors are a little hard to read in the image, but here they are (from left to right):

  • Crisp Cantaloupe
  • Barely Blush
  • Golden Glow
  • Peaceful Pine
  • Hydrangea Hue

They’re all so soft and pretty!  Looking forward to being able to preorder these soon!!
