2024-2025 Annual Catalogue – Now Online!

Yesterday was 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue release day! It’s now online, and I’ve added it to the catalogues section of the website. I have a *limited* number of books here in my house, and am happy to share if you’d like one. The link to this year’s catalogue is immediately below, but you’re going to see that it’s different from every other catalogue that we’ve ever published. So grab a drink, scroll down for details, and open it up. And… if you keep reading until the end, you’ll see a bit of an explanation as to where I’ve been over the last year. Let’s get started!

I have to say that after not blogging anything for eons, I’m discovering that WordPress has changed some stuff. So, this may or may not look the way it’s supposed to, and that’s okay. (FYI… I’ve really embraced the “it’s okay” and “it’s not perfect but it’s better than it was” mentality over the past year.)

The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s a smaller book – only 144 pages. That doesn’t mean there are less fun products, just that they’re not all in the book – the rest are online. You’ll find a ton of QR codes in the book to take you to all available options online.

Near the front of the catalogue, you’ll find the following:

• Kits Collection & Paper Pumpkin
• Quick and Easy Options (Top 10 Essentials, Mix & Match, and Card Design)
• Product Suites, followed by stamp die/punch Bundles

On Page 74, you’ll find a section titled “Encore!” These pages contain products found in prior catalogues, but without photos of completed cards. There is a QR code to take you to Pinterest for project ideas.

Moving forward, you’ll see new stamp sets, along with techniques, types of stamps (ie. background, sentiments) and different occasions (ie. holiday, kids, invitations).

Different paper, embellishments, and tools can be found scattered throughout the book. Two of my FAVOURITE pages are 132-133, where you can find a full colour wheel and theory on how to use our colours.

*KEY NOTE TO ALL PAPERCRAFTERS*

This catalogue does NOT contain all of our products. There are many others to be found in the online store including Online Exclusives that are available while supplies last, and products carrying over from prior catalogues. To see everything in Stampin’ Up!’s current product line, you must head over to the website. I’ll go through some of the new links with you… another day. Start with your review of the catalogue, use your phone to grab the QR codes to head to other places, and just absorb the beginnings of the changes that we have made. Because believe me… more are coming.

Where have I been for the last year? In a nutshell, my daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder in April 2023. To say that the journey our family has been in over the last year was tough is a massive understatement. I did enter some craft shows with a friend before Christmas last year, but I’ve done very little creatively outside of that. Recovery for my daughter has been long, but it seems that we’ve hit the other side of it. I watch her like a hawk, without trying to show that I’m watching like a hawk, and we still do have daily challenges, but it’s better. On the whole I can’t really say that I’m ‘back’, because my own emotional well being has taken a hit, but I’m trying. Cross your fingers that everything continues on an upward trend.

Enjoy that coffee/tea/lemonade that you have in front of you, and happy reading! I’ll be back soon with more fun details.
