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.

Bonus Days

Bonus Days - Time to Redeem Coupons
Bonus Days - Time to Redeem Coupons
If you have not redeemed the coupons you earned last month during Stampin' Up! Bonus Days, you have a few days left to use your coupon code(s). The last day to redeem coupons online is February 28, 2026. Be sure to finalize your orders before 11:59pm MT.

Free Shipping

If you have coupon codes to use before February 28, the next couple of days is the perfect time while free shipping is available.

Free Shipping - February 18 to February 20

The details about this promotion are similar to past free shipping periods:
  • Free shipping is for three days only. Orders must be opened and closed from February 18–20. Online orders must be finalized by 11:59pm MT on February 20.
  • Free shipping automatically applies to your cart after the qualifying amount has been met, which is $75 (before tax).
  • Coupon codes and Stampin’ Rewards will lower your order’s retail amount. Orders must meet the qualifying amount to be eligible for free shipping.
  • The additional cost for expedited shipping is not covered by this promotion.
  • Craft Classes do not have shipping charges. Purchasing a Craft Class will increase the total cart amount but will not contribute to the free shipping qualifying amount.
  • Prepaid 3-, 6-, and 12-month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions and month-to-month subscriptions do not qualify for free shipping. Refills, past kits, and add-ons do qualify toward free shipping, but you must be a subscriber to purchase. Subscriptions billed and shipped this month will be charged for the normal amount (shipping included) + tax.
  • Please keep in mind that due to the high volume of orders and the Christmas season, the distribution center may fall behind on typical shipping timeframes. SU! will do all they can to return to regular service levels as quickly as possible. Any orders placed during this promotion are not guaranteed to arrive before or by December 25.
Once you spend $75 to qualify for free shipping, you might want to use some of your Stampin’ Rewards to get some extras, just be sure you still have the qualifying amount in your cart after using rewards to receive free shipping.

Product of the Month

The February 2026 Product of the Month is Painted Illusions 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) Designer Series Paper. When your order qualifies for free shipping, you also reached the threshold to purchase the Product of the Month for only $5. While you are signed into your SU! account, near the top of your shopping cart you will see the opportunity to add the product of the month to your order.  Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again.

The steps to purchase the Product of the Month are:

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.

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

Stampin' Up! Bonus Days
Stampin' Up! Bonus Days
Tuesday, January 6th marks the start of Bonus Days. From January 6 to February 2, 2026 (online orders must be complete by 11:59 pm MT), you will earn a $5 coupon for every $50 spent (before shipping and tax). Some details to keep in mind:
  • All coupon codes will be emailed right after a qualifying purchase has been made. Customers must have a customer account with a valid email address to earn coupons when they shop.
  • If you earn multiple codes from a single order, you will receive one email with multiple codes. If you earn multiple codes from multiple orders, you will receive separate emails for each code earned.
  • All order types qualify for this promotion. Phone and email orders still require an email address.
  • Orders started before the promotion begins will not count toward earning coupon codes. You must add items to your cart and complete your purchase during the earning period.
  • There is no limit to the number of coupon codes participants can earn per order or throughout the duration of the earning period.
  • Coupon codes can only be earned on commissionable items. Non-commissionable items (such as catalogs) do not count towards coupon earnings.
  • You can also earn Stampin’ Rewards on orders during the earning period; just a reminder... if you use Stampin' Rewards when completing your purchase the rewards could bring your total below the amount to earn a coupon.
Coupons can be redeemed from February 3 to February 28, 2026 (by 11:59pm MT). Redemption details are:
  • There is no limit to the number of coupon codes you can redeem on an order during the redemption period. If you’re redeeming multiple codes, you must put a space between each code.
  • You may only redeem coupon codes one time. You cannot redeem them after February 28.
  • You can redeem Bonus Days coupon codes for month-to-month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions and new prepaid subscriptions.

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.
