Final Days to Sign Up for My July Online Exclusive Product Share

I’m offering a small product share from the upcoming July Online Exclusives. I’m offering a Paper Share and/or an Embellishment & Ribbon Share. If you click on the image below you can open the flyer with the products coming in July.

I’m offering a Paper Share and a Ribbon & Embellishment Share from the July 2026 Online Exclusives, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on July 1st 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 July 6th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the 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 papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the 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 NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $10.50 plus $7.00 for shipping

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

  • Frightfully Fun (6)
  • Frightfully Fun Two-Tone Cardstock (6)
  • Spooktacular (6×6) (4)
  • 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham (5)
  • A Stitched Season (6)
  • Violet Dreams Specialty (5)

If you’d like double shares of the paper, 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.

Double Paper Share – $21.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping

Ribbon/Embellishment Share – $12.50 plus $7.00 Shipping

All ribbons and Embellishments will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon
  • Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon
  • Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon
  • Adhesive-Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (30)
  • Adhesive-Backed Blooms (15)
  • Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (10)

Double Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $25.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping and you will be getting 1/2 of the roll of each ribbon.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form. I will send out PayPal Invoices on or around June 27th with a due date by June 30th.

Deadline to sign up for my share is Saturday June 27th at 5:00 PM ET.

Starting July 1, New Joining Experience

Beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT, Stampin’ Up! is introducing a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before!  The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!  

As part of the new join process, all first-time demonstrators (beginning June 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM MT) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community!

How the New Process Works

Step 1: Join

New demonstrators will:

  1. choose a team leader.
  2. accept required agreements.
  3. enter a few personal details.
  4. pay the $100 join fee.
  5. click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

  • their demonstrator ID.
  • a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

  • Valued at $125.
  • Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
  • Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I know that many people wanted the option to be able to add more than $125 to their Starter Kit!).
  • Any amount above the coupon code value:
    • receives the demonstrator discount.
    • counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
    • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Additional perk for new demonstrators

  • New demonstrators may add eight free catalogs to any order!

Let me know if you have any questions about the new joining process.  I’m so happy that you’ll now have the option to go over the $125 amount AND that it will automatically count toward your sales! 

Why not start thinking about joining the Stampin’ Up! community. I’d love to have you on my team and July is the perfect time to sign up. Contact me at: creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. We’re a very relaxed team that loves to create and share.
