May 2026 Newsletter Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator May is such a wonderful month! The birds are signing and mating, the flowers are saying hello from their long winter's nap, the weather has taken a turn for the good, and there are good excuses to make beautiful cards. Mother's day is next weekend, graduations have begun, bridal showers and weddings are popular in these warmer months and
Father's day is right around the corner. And don't forget all those summer birthdays! Happy creating! Enjoy this beautiful time of year doing all the things you enjoy doing. New May - August Catalog! Every May Stampin' Up! launches a new catalog, but this year is different. Rather than releasing a new Annual Catalog, Stampin’ Up! has decided to release three stand alone catalogs each year.
Different than the previously twice-a-year mini catalog,
these new catalogs will each contain all of the “essentials” we paper crafter need (or need to replenish). All of the ink pads, refills, card stock, envelopes, adhesives, tools and such will be listed in each catalog.
I am really enjoying this catalog redesign which has larger pictures of each pack of Designer Series Paper, many more samples and tips, and the multipage directory of all stamp sets, dies, punches, embossing folders,
embellishments, papers and tools. Click to see the Digital Version of the May - August Catalog Click to shop all the new products in the May - August Catalog In addition to the new system of creating three catalogs a year, Stampin’ Up! will continue to release new products every other month called “Online Exclusives”. The products will not be in any paper catalog (because they will be coming out too often), but will be able to be seen on the Stampin’ Up! online store: Online Exlusives. You’ll be able to find each of these new products by clicking on the “online exclusives” or “all new products” under the Shop tab in the menu bar. Included in the great lineup this month is the anticipated Winnie the Pooh Suite Collection, called Silly Old Bear. Due to
licencing requirements, this product line is only available in the United States. But, there are other great products being offered including some fun summer sets. View (& print) May's Online Exclusive Product
line Brand New Products! In this new catalog (& online store) you will notice some brand new products that I'm happy to highlight: - Hybrid Black Ink -
Stampin’ Up! has created a NEW black ink that can be used instead of both StazOn and Memento inks. Now you can use one black ink for all coloring (Blends Markers, Watercolor Pencils, Blender Pen & ink).
- New Magnetic Ink Pads - Stampin’ Up! will be releasing the five new In Colors with these new magnetic ink pads. They are super easy to open & close (which is great for those of us that have hand/wrist issues). All of the colors will
be sold in these magnetic ink pads next year, after the color refresh.
- Stampin’ Positioner (& Coordinating Grid Paper) - A newly designed tool to stamp your images exactly where you want them and for exact evenly spaced repeat stamping (replaces the retired Stamparatus).
- White Gel Pens - New and improved from the past white gel pens and you get two in a pack!
- Shimmer Brushes -
New glitter brushes in the new In-Colors (think Wink of Stella with color).
- Larger Grid Paper - 50 sheets of 17” x 14” paper to protect your crafting area as well as create designs and alignment on your projects.
- Impressions Plate - A silicone mat that works with your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and new impression dies.
- So many new stamp sets, dies, punches, papers, embellishments and
accessories.
- MORE new products to come later in the year (this is a teaser)

May's product is Berry Botanical Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. Yours for $5 with a
qualifying $75 order. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives.
