What's New June 2026

Hello! It is June, how can that be? I am stunned that the year is approaching half over. It has been busier than normal for me lately and I have been falling asleep with my laptop at the ready, but I cannot post when I am resting my eyes. It does not help that the kittens have been waking me up regularly before 5am. Rusty has a new trick that scares me. He chases his tail at the top of the cat tree, but instead of going round and round he goes down through the opening and up the outside. I think I need to invest in air bags to place around the base of the cat tree. Either that, or maybe a hammock that stretches the width of the room.

There is a bit of Stampin' Up! news to share this month.

Paper Pumpkin

June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Bikes & Blooms Kit

The subscription period to purchase the June 2026 Bikes & Blooms Kit ends on June 10. If you would like to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin to receive this kit, be sure to make your changes soon.

The Bikes & Blooms Kit created nine cards with silver details.

• Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes
• Silver foil and precut paper pieces
• Silver butterfly embellishments and linen thread

Paper Pumpkin subscribers can also shop the exclusive Wonderful Scenes Dies.

Wonderful Scenes Dies - Paper Pumpkin Coordinating Add-on

The Wonderful Scenes Dies are only available while supplies last.

New Product of the Month

Wild Bunch Stamp Set

The June 2026 Product of the Month is the Wild Bunch Stamp Set. The timing is perfect because I am seeing Highland Cows everywhere. And who doesn't like a Koala, Penguin or Snail?

The Wild Bunch Stamp Set is an exclusive product available for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order while supplies last (some restrictions apply, e.g. I believe using rewards can make your order total less than $75). 

Last Chance List Updated

The Last Chance section of the website was updated. There are some great products there - I'm sad I do not have more space and an unlimited budget.

New Kits

Two new cardmaking kits were added to the Kits Collection of the website. They are Washes of Gratitude and Shaded Petals. Kits come with everything you need to create the cards as shown, including adhesives, but feel free to add your personal touch.

Washes of Gratitude has a lovely watercolor look and does not require any stamping; the sentiments are pre-printed. I was thinking that a shimmer brush on some of the floral die cuts would be lovely. Or, ink the white pieces with Versamark ink and your choice of embossing powder.

Shaded Petals comes with two Stampin' Spots and two sponge daubers so you can ink blend the petals. This kit also does not require stamping.

Craft Class Available for Purchase

The latest craft class, Scenic Coast, was just added to the Craft Class page. In the digital video class you will create four projects with the Scenic Coast Suite Collection and other select products (sold separately).

Despite being wide awake since I fell asleep after watching the news, I'd better try to go to sleep. The kittens may start trying to wake me in three short hours. I am looking forward to them outgrowing this. I hope that I to not have to wait until the days get shorter.

Have a great June 2026!

What's New March 2026

Good day (I am writing this late enough that I'm not sure if I will finish before midnight or if any of you will still be awake to read it on Wednesday)! Now that we are a few days past the nor'easter, fortunately we were spared from the storm, I hope the weather is better for everyone. Around here March came in a little like a lion, we had some sleet over the weekend, and the forecast shows we might tie or break some records in a few days, but the ten day forecast looks like we slide back to some colder temps. It makes me very happy that I was able to get Honey Bunny and Rusty inside.

Speaking of Rusty, I think he is really feeling at home.

Rusty - Hopefully Having Sweet Dreams

I had to push my laptop so forward to give him room that I could not reach the keyboard. He was zonked until Honey Bunny came around.

Rusty - Company during Coffee Time

Rusty also likes to visit when I have a cup of coffee in the morning. He is usually more alert then too. I am not sure if it is the smell of the coffee or the lighter sky outside.

These cute kittens, though he looks older in the photos, sure do eat into my creative time. The girls I lost last summer were happy to watch when I did my die cutting, but these guys like to try to help.

I'm sure you would like to know what is new at Stampin' Up! for March, so let's get to it.

New Products Available

There are some new Kits Collection: Every Little Thing Kit, the Radiant Reminders Kit, and the Standing Clipboard Trio are the latest Kits Collection. Pair the Every Little Think Kit or the Radiant Reminders Kit with the Standing Clipboard Trio (available separately) to create home decor perfect for a mantel, on top of a piano or anywhere you place a cluster of photos. The kits come with everything you need to complete the project.

New March Online Exclusives are available. Online Exclusives products are only available through the SU! website, that is, you will not see them pictured in a catalog. There are a variety of items - stamps, dies, stencils, papers, bundles and more. Go to the New Arrivals page to check out all the amazing products that are now available.

Product of the Month

March 2026 Product of the Month - Notes of Spring

The March Product of the Month is here! It is a photopolymer stamp set called Notes of Spring and it is adorable! You are able to purchase this exclusive product for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Please do not hesitate. This set is so cute that I think it will sell out and when it’s sold out, it’s gone for good!

Enjoy the remainder of your March. Hopefully we will soon see some bulbs starting to appear - preferably not through the snow - to begin putting on a dazzling color display by my next update.

What's New February 2026

Hello! I hope your 2026 is off to a fabulous start. The kittens continue to bond. When they are not getting into mischief, wrestling or eating, they might be found sleeping in the same chair or on the same scratcher. This is usually initiated by Honey Bunny who is thrilled to have a brother after being inside alone for about 10 weeks. He is the typical younger sibling in that he always wants to be doing what Rusty is doing or hanging out where Rusty decided to rest.

They demand a lot of attention and time, but they are fun to have around.

What's New January 2026

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Ours was nice and quiet except for the play of our two kittens.

Honey Bunny

Rusty

I was ready to walk out the door for Christmas dinner and at the last minute I stayed home to make sure the kittens stayed out of trouble. Lucky for me, my mom brought home some leftovers. I am so happy I was home because I learned that HB is fearless and can climb up the side of a wire crate. We were using a 28’’L x 41’’W x 55’’H crate so the boys could safely adjust to each other. The crate usage didn't last long and now the boys are chasing each other at all hours of the day and depriving me of regular sleep, but I am so thrilled that they are getting long well. It is amazing to me that I only caught Rusty the day before Thanksgiving and today he will sit on my lap when he and HB are not playing or sleeping.

Bonus Days

Product of the Month

Stampin' Up! will release a new Product of the Month item every month. The Product of the Month items will be available at midnight sometime near the beginning of every month and you can view the newly released products on the Product of the Month page. You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $5 when you spend $75. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your cart amount falls below $75, you’ll need to add items in your cart to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. Unfortunately the Product of the Month is limited to one per Stampin’ Up! account.

I do not know what will be available in for January 2026, but if it is anything like the December 2025 Product of the Month, it is lovely.

January–April 2026 Mini Catalog

Unfortunately I was unable to find a shareable image of the January–April 2026 Mini Catalog. The catalog can be viewed starting Tuesday, January 6 on the digital catalog page. Tuesday is also the day the products will be available on the Stampin' Up! website.

January Online Exclusives

Unfortunately I was unable to find a shareable image for the January Online Exclusives. I believe these will also be available on Tuesday. You will be able to find the online exclusives on the New Arrivals page of the Stampin' Up! website.

My eyes are telling me it is time for me to step away from the screen and put my head on the pillow. Have a great January.

What's New December 2025

Hello from too frigid New York! The temps have been cold and the wind chill makes it even worse. Thank goodness I was able to catch the little sweetie I introduced you to in my last post. This is Rusty on Thanksgiving Day.

Rusty on November 27, 2025

My persistence paid off. Sitting with him outside morning and night (and some afternoons as well) got him to trust me just enough to come out in the open a few times. The day before Thanksgiving he was relaxed enough to let me leave him long enough to get the carrier and pick him up and place him in it. We are still getting him adjusted to being inside and having a younger kitten around. I almost did not make it to Thanksgiving dinner because Rusty decided to escape and go hide under the bed. We have also had a couple of vet visits for the routine checkup and shots and then another visit for gastrointestinal upset. Fortunately the prescription is relatively easy to give and we are seeing much improvement. Tomorrow we take both boys for their family planning surgeries.

As much as I could go on and on about my furry friends, I do have some Stampin' Up! news to share.

Black Friday Sale during Thanksgiving Week

Hello crafting friends! I would like to introduce you to Rusty who has thrown my schedule totally out of balance.

Rusty

I believe Rusty arrived around the same time as our Sunday Kitten, but we did not see him until a few days later. We would occasionally see him, but if he caught a glimpse of us through the window, he would run and hide. Days would pass between times we would see him. We put out food every day, but would bring it in soon after dark so we would not attract other animals. We were hoping Rusty was getting the food, but discovered, after I put the dish closer to a window so I could better observe the dish, that a opossum was visiting. Definitely not what I planned.

Fortunately we caught a glimpse of Rusty going under the tarp we have covering our winter supply of pellets. When the pellets were delivered, before Rusty arrived, I asked the forklift operator to leave some space between the two rows of pallets so I could place a heated cat house there. I thought I would be sheltering a cat that showed up last December, but Rusty thought it was a good place for him (fortunately the other cat decided the shelter I placed closed to our house is a better place to be). After the uncertainty of who was getting to eat, I decided to try to feed him by the pellets. This is our first attempt. I had to move about 25 feet away and patiently wait, but Rusty made an appearance and devoured the food.

We have developed a routine that unfortunately means I have to get up earlier in the morning and I am feeding him as soon as I get home from work. I am outside no matter what the weather to make sure this little guy gets at least two good meals a day so I really dread freezing temps and precipitation in the forecast. I still leave out some dry food, but because of the unwanted guests, now I bring it in before it gets dark. This routine often has me falling asleep before 8pm. Wish me luck/send me good mojo that I will soon get this little guy to let me pick him up and bring him inside where he will be safer, warmer and well fed.
