What's New October 2025

Hello from currently warm in New York. We've been busy preparing for the coming cold doing our best to make sure our house is ready and there are some warm places for the outside cats to spend time when it is too cold or the snow is too deep for them to be outside. I would much rather they be indoor only cats, but when I let Shadow inside a few weeks ago he only made it a few steps before he wanted to escape. The newest visitor is so scared it runs if it sees me across the yard. Now I can only hope that both will take advantage of the shelters. I hope you have been able to enjoy these last few warm days.

I do have some Stampin' Up! news as well.

Kits Collection Three-Day Sale

Kits Collection Three-Day Sale

From October 6 to October 8, 2025 at 11:59pm MT (6:59pm MT if you are ordering by phone), all kits in the Kits Collection will range from 10–30% off during this three-day sale. This sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on your favorite kits or kits you have been wanting to try from the Kits Collection. Kits are available while supplies last. Also, this sale excludes Paper Pumpkin Kits, Scrapbooking Workshop Kits, and Starter Kits.

World Card Making Day

Speaking of the Kits Collections, the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit (166213) from World Card Making Day is still available and I am guessing that it will be included in the Kits Collection Three-Day Sale. If you did not get a chance to sign up for the World Card Making Day event, you can still watch the video on YouTube, no login required. In addition to seeing each of the cards from the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit assembled, there is a demonstration for using card sketches and a Demonstrator from the UK shows a technique for creating an amazing background and making a reflection with no reverse stamping necessary. It is a great video for inspiration and just the right length to watch while having your morning coffee or your evening tea.

Advent Calendar

12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar

To the best of my knowledge, 2025 is the first year that Stampin' Up! offered an Advent Calendar. The 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar (167335) is designed to be something that you can craft with throughout the year, not only during the traditional November/December holiday season. Every day of this calendar contains never-before-seen dies, paper, embellishments, and even more items you won’t find in any Stampin' Up! catalogs or at the online store. If you would rather not make this considered purchase without getting a peek inside, there are a few videos online that will give you a look at all of the days. Whether or not you watch any of the videos for a look inside or if you just love the tradition of opening Advent Calendars, this is only available while supplies last, so make sure to buy one before they’re all gone. I've been saving my Rewards to purchase ink refill bundles, but I might need to change my plans - I watched one of the videos and my socks were blown off.

Traditions of Christmas Craft Class

Traditions of Christmas Craft Class

During the Traditions of Christmas Craft Class (170073) you’ll use the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection and some basic supplies to make four unique projects, craft along with an experienced instructor, and learn exciting tips and techniques.

Be sure to read the full description of Craft Class for a list of other supplies you will need. Unfortunately as I am writing this the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection (165877) is unavailable. I encourage you to go to the product page and input your email address so you will be notified when it is back in stock. Stampin' Up! anticipates it will return to inventory the week of November 17. If you would like to purchase the class and participate on October 23, you will have the opportunity to watch a recording of the class at a later date.

After you’ve purchased the class, Stampin' Up! will send you an email within 2–3 business days that will have everything you need to know, plus a link to the exclusive Facebook page where we’ll host the class. You can watch the live stream or view it later on demand—whatever works for your schedule!

During the class you will make four projects, 3 cards and 1 decor piece, using the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection (sold separately).

The class will be livestreamed October 23 at 2:00 p.m. (MT). Purchase the Craft Class by October 20, 2025, and access the Facebook page as soon as possible to guarantee access to the livestream. Purchases of the Craft Class after October 23, 2025 are for on-demand access to the livestreamed class.

Goodness that is a lot of exciting paper crafting news. Fingers crossed I remembered everything and didn't leave out any important details. I hope you found something that you like too. 

Until next time, take care of yourselves.
