Cardstock Price Increases In The New 2025-2026 Annual Catalog

***WOOHOOO!!!  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!!  Yippee!!!! 
Here are the details:
    • The Basic White 8½”x11” Thick Cardstock (159229) is available to order again.
    • The cardstock will be available in the Online Store, not the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog.
    • The item numbers and sheet quantity per package (24) will remain the same.
    • Beginning May 6, the price for this product will be $17.00. So stock up before May 6 and get the current pricing of $11.25. You can find the cardstock right here in the online store:
Stampin’ Up! shared the following update with Demonstrators:

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.

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 White 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.
      • The 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Basic White Cardstock is currently on backorder but it’s showing as restocking around March 24 so keep an eye out for it to return soon!
  • 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! Customer Rewards Program Coming Mid-April!

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!  Yippee!!  Here are the basics:

  • 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 13, you’ll no longer need to apply my current host code to your order.
    • That does mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on April 12 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 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!
