What’s Up-Stampin’ Up!
We’ve got so much to cover today, so grab your coffee (or crafting beverage of choice) and let’s dive right in!
🎉 The In-Color Sale Starts NOW!
Yep, it kicks off today and runs through August 31st, which gives you just enough time to fall in love with all five of these gorgeous colors:
Secret Sea (mysterious and moody, like a mermaid with a secret)
Cloud Cover (soft and dreamy—basically the color of a cozy nap)
Darling Duckling (adorable, cheerful, and probably wearing tiny boots)
Strawberry Slush (sweet, summery, and ready for a picnic)
Timid Tiger (the boldest "timid" you've ever met—purr-fect for fall!)
I did a little homework for you...
Last night, I curled up with the new Mini Catalog and counted how many new collections feature one or more of these fab colors. Here's the tally:
Cloud Cover shows up in 3 collections
Secret Sea is featured in 5 (clearly the overachiever of the group!)
SIDE NOTE:
Do yourself a favor and grab some Timid Tiger—it’s going to be your new BFF for Halloween and all those warm, cozy fall designs. Trust me, it’s spook-tacular.
🎨 Color Theory Doesn’t Have to Be Scary
This video is a must-watch if you've ever stared at your ink pads like they were trying to solve a riddle. It breaks down color theory in a fun, easy-to-understand way—and shows exactly how the Stampin’ Up! Color Coach can help you mix, match, and totally nail your color combos.
Each of the new In Colors gets its moment on the color wheel (yes, even you, Timid Tiger 😄).

Of course you do—who doesn’t want a pocket-sized color genius? You can grab one right here.

Our Next LIVE Workshop
📸 A Big Thank You!
First things first—a HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s live workshop! Yes, we had a few technical hiccups (thanks, technology 🤦♀️), and I wasn’t able to see your comments in real time… but guess what? We powered through like crafting champs!
We completed six fabulous scrapbook pages from start to finish, following the company’s fantastic instructions—step by crafty step!
🗓️ Mark Your Calendar!
Our next LIVE workshop is coming up on Friday, August 29th from 3:00 to 5:00 PM PST, and we’ll be assembling the brand-new “Love Florals” Scrapbook Workshop.
🌸 It launches today, and here's the catch—it’s an Online Exclusive, which means once it’s sold out, it’s gone for good (cue dramatic crafting music 🎻).
🛒 Don’t wait! Order your workshop kit HERE and join in on the floral fun!
I FOUND THEM!
My Substitute for Versa Mats
🧐 The Great Versa Mat Search is Over!
If you’ve watched any of my recent videos, you know I’ve been on a mission—a quest, really—to find a worthy replacement for the beloved Close to My Heart Versa Mats since CTMH closed its doors over a year ago. I’ve tried all kinds of options. Some flopped, some almost made the cut… but none truly measured up.
Until now. Cue the dramatic crafting reveal...
Enter: The 12” x 12” Cricut Self-Healing Mat!
I’ll be honest—I avoided these mats at first because I thought they were sticky like my other Cricut mats. (Spoiler alert: they’re not!) Instead, they’re self-healing and completely fabulous for scrapbooking.
✅ Big, easy-to-read measurements on all four sides
✅ Inch-by-inch breakdowns with smaller increment markings
✅ No foam backing—BUT that’s easily fixed with a Stampin’ Up! Silicone Craft Sheet, which you can grab here!
A quick heads-up: these mats are sold individually, so I highly recommend grabbing two if you like to work on double-page layouts. (And who doesn’t love having twice the space to play?)
🛒 Order your mats here on Amazon using my link—I truly appreciate your support more than you know. You’re helping keep the craft room lights on and the glitter flying ✂️✨
Let me know if you’d like a quick Amazon-friendly caption or reel script for this too!

More Re-Sale Stamps & Dies Posted
Crafting Quote by Maya Angelou
Time for a Crafty Clean-Out!
This week, I rolled up my sleeves and did a little studio purging. I've been sorting through stamps and dies to make room for all the new shiny goodies coming in!
A few items that were hanging out in my store have now been majorly marked down—because let’s be honest, they deserve a good home and a second chance to shine.
🛍️ Ready to shop?
Just head to the top of this page and click “Shop”—or save yourself a scroll and just click right here. You’ll find a treasure trove of gently used or brand-new stamps and dies. (Seriously—some have never even been inked! 😱)
Buying more than one item?
Awesome! Just add them to your cart, then drop me a quick note. I’ll weigh your package and give you a better shipping rate—because I'm crafty and thrifty. (Sadly, my shop doesn’t let me adjust shipping automatically.)
Thanks for helping me clear space—and giving these supplies a chance to make something beautiful with you! 💕
New Mini Catalog
New Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog October-December 2025
📬 Mini Catalog Sneak Peek Alert!
As Demonstrators, we get early access to the brand-new Mini Catalog products starting today! That gives us time to play, test, and—let’s be honest—fall completely in love with the goodies before they’re released to everyone in early September.
Got FOMO?
You can totally fix that by becoming a Hobbyist Demonstrator! It’s perfect for crafters who want early access to products and a sweet 20% discount. No pressure, just perks! If you're curious, reach out—I’d love to answer any questions.
About Those Catalogs…
Stampin’ Up! lets us request catalogs about a month before they’re mailed out. To make sure you’re on my list, please place a minimum $60 order within the past 3 months.
📝 Important tip: When you order, be sure to check the little box that allows me to send you updates—if that’s unchecked, the system won’t let me mail your catalog (and that’s just sad).
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll see you in the craft room soon.
