Don’t be alarmed when you see that the list of STAMP SETS is very long. It includes some sets that WILL be available in the new catalogue, but in the reconfigured cling-mount style. It’s just the wood-mount or clear mount versions that are retiring. If you love wood-mount stamps – this is your last chance to get them!
You can see a full list of these transitioning sets here.
Stamp sets are guaranteed to be available until May 24 but everything else is *while supplies last*.
Seriously… some of these items will be gone soon.
A reminder that the Stampin’ Trimmer and all associated accessories are retiring and won’t be available in the new catalogue. A supply of trimmer blades will still be available for purchase but are now limited to 6 packs (ie 12 blades) per order.

What’s CASE-ing The Catty? CASE stands for “Copy And Share Everything”. It means we use the ideas and inspiration from one project and apply them to another to create something altogether new. Each Sunday evening at 7pm AEST/8pm AEDT the CTC Crew kick off a new Challenge using the Stampin’ Up! catalogues as inspiration.
My inspiration for our CASEing the Catalogue challenge this week comes from the fabulous Sale-a-bration patterned papers.
When this paper was first released in February, you could only get it with the co-ordinating Painted Seasons stamp set in a bundle, free with a AUD$180 order. But… exciting news… until the end of March you can now get it on its own with a AUD$90 order!
You get three sheets of each of the four double-sided designs.
The funny thing is, it’s the way these papers are displayed in this photo that got me thinking about an interesting way to showcase them on a card.
With such beautiful hand-painted imagery, I wanted to use quite a few patterns on a card. The answer: a Split Panel Card.
The best thing about these Split Panel cards is that the cardstock panel that’s removed from the middle is the same piece that is attached vertically on the card.
What an economical use of cardstock!
I couldn’t stop at one, so made a second Split Panel Card. Such a different look!
The panels of patterned paper decorate both cards, along with stamps from Hedgehugs and also Hello Cupcake (for the ‘Celebrate Your Day’ sentiment).
And a little stamping on the inside to peek through the opening.
Next on the hop this week is the talented (and very sweet) Kelly Kent. You can find her gorgeous project here.
Would you like to have a go at this week’s challenge? To join in, you can either directly CASE (Copy and Share Everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combination or something similar, as inspiration for your own creation. Then simply take a photo of your project and upload it to the latest challenge album in the CASEing The Catty Challenge group on Facebook. Each challenge will end at 7pm (AEST) on Saturday before the next challenge is posted. We pick some winners each week, but most importantly it’s a fun way to get out of your creative comfort zone and try something new.
It’s so wonderful to be back with another ColourINKspiration challenge. I’m loving this pretty colour combination. It’s definitely not one I’ve worked with before, but that’s the whole point of a challenge, right?
I cut the cake pieces apart and rearranged them to create multi-coloured paper-pieced cakes.
The layers and border panel with cut out using the Rectangle Stitched framelits – probably my favourite product in the whole of the Occasions catalogue.
A touch of Highland Heather ribbon finished off the feature panel.
Next on our hop is Monique’s lovely project which you can find here.
The Sale-a-bration party keeps getting better and better with a new third release of gift options. Included is the fabulous new Level 1 item (free with a AUD $90 purchase), Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper! Woohoo!!!
Some of our regular annual catalogue products can also be earned now as Sale-A-Bration rewards.
These extra choices are brilliant for those of us who already redeemed a few free gifts, and also for those who are still working on a wish list. We all love more options!
Third Release
Now you can choose from some of these core products from the annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue.
You can still get it for free along with the free matching stamp set when you place a AUD$180 order, but it’s nice to know you can get the paper on it’s own too.
Need help deciding?
If you can’t decide on which gifts to choose, have a good look at ALL the options in the online store. It might help to narrow down your favourites and make the choice that little bit easier.
Although the stamps in this set are designed to expand the existing sentiments, many of them also work well on their own. I love that it includes sentiments for multiple occasions in a variety of fonts.

Can you remember what you were doing back in Oct 1988? I was a teenager and I remember that’s the year we went to Brisbane for “Expo ’88” Gosh that seems like a long time ago now!
Time has moved on and trends have come and gone in 35 years, but now more than even I believe there is incredible value in having a hobby or interest of some sort, and a community for connection. So good for us for so many reasons
If papercrafting is your thing, and if you’ve been thinking about joining an amazing community of like-minded people, or even just looking at saving 20% off your crafty shopping, or maybe you’ve been part of the team in the past and you already know it’s a great deal… well I’ve got some excellent news.
Until October 31, you can choose one of the following options for your Starter Kit when you sign up as a new Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.
Option 1: Get 35% OFF the cost of your Starter Kit ($235 worth of product for $109.85)
Option 2: Get 35% MORE product with your Starter Kit (spend $169 and get $317.25 worth of product!)
Both options get you free shipping and free business supplies —not to mention all the fun that comes with being a part of Stampin’ Up! And, by signing up for this offer, you’ll even receive free registration to an online inspo and training event (called “OnStage”), valued at $123!
The 7 framelits coordinate perfectly with the Lasting Lily stamp set (Level 2 Sale-a-bration gift). Create die-cut lilies and frames in a fraction of the time compared to “fussy cutting” (ie hand cutting with scissors).
Here’s a handy tip for you…
Carefully place the stamp face-down inside the framelit so the stamp follows the natural shape of the metal border. Then, place your block on top of the stamp to pick it up. This handy tip will ensure that the stamp isn’t distorted on the block. If it is, then the framelit won’t fit!

The Painted Seasons stamp set (part of the Level 2 Painted Seasons Sale-a-breation gift) has taken us all by storm, with it’s gorgeous watercoloured look, and ‘DistINKtive’ design.
If fussy cutting the flowers doesn’t sound like fun to you, then you’ll love this 10 piece die set. It creates flowers, leaves and a pinecone.
