Happy August!

There are so many exciting things happening this month at Stampin’ Up!, and I couldn’t wait to share them with you. From this month’s beautiful Product of the Month to two brand-new kits, a Designer Series Paper sale, and an updated Last Chance section, there’s truly something for every crafter.

Let’s take a look!

🍂 August Product of the Month

If you’ve been following along with my Product of the Month promotions, thank you! I’ve had so much fun highlighting a different favorite each month, and I think this one may be my favorite yet.

This month’s featured product is the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper, and it is absolutely beautiful.

When you place a qualifying $75 order (before shipping and tax), you can add this gorgeous paper pack to your order for just $5.

The collection features warm autumn pumpkins, leaves, acorns, florals, and elegant botanical patterns in rich shades of soft orange, beige, brown, and cream. Every sheet has a delicate shimmer that gives your cards, scrapbook pages, and home décor projects an extra touch of elegance. Click HERE to add to your cart!

One of the things I love most about this collection is the beautiful color palette. The warm fall colors are timeless and coordinate so well together.

Need a little inspiration? Stampin’ Up! has created some wonderful sample projects using this collection, and I hope they spark a few ideas for your own crafting.

✂️ Two Brand-New Kits

Stampin’ Up! has also released two brand-new kits, and they’re completely different from one another.

🌸 Crafted Blooms Kit (#168671)

If you enjoy decorating your craft room or creating handmade home décor, you’ll love the Crafted Blooms Kit.

This all-inclusive kit lets you create dimensional floral artwork complete with uplifting sentiments. Display it on a clipboard, cork board, or in a shadow box frame for a cheerful piece of décor you’ll enjoy all season long. Click HERE!

🎃 Witchy Whimsy Hat Kit (#168672)

Looking ahead to Halloween?

The Witchy Whimsy Hat Kit includes everything you need to create an adorable decorative witch’s hat filled with playful Halloween details like spiders, black cats, ribbons, lace, flowers, and festive embellishments.

It’s a fun project to make for your own home—or to give as a handmade gift. Go HERE to see more!

🛍️ Designer Series Paper Sale

Who doesn’t love saving on beautiful paper?

Beginning this month, select Designer Series Paper is 15% off!

Whether you’ve been waiting to stock up on a favorite collection or you’ve had your eye on something new, this is a wonderful opportunity to add a few extra packs to your craft room.

There are so many gorgeous designs included in the promotion—I think you’ll find more than one that catches your eye. SHOP them all HERE!

⭐ Last Chance Products

Before you finish shopping, be sure to visit the Last Chance Products section.

It has recently been refreshed with new items, and many products are available at discounted prices.

Some items are simply retiring, while others have special markdowns—but everything in the Last Chance category is available only while supplies last. Once these products are gone, they won’t be returning.

If there’s something you’ve been thinking about, now is the perfect time to take another look. Click HERE!

Happy Crafting!

August is packed with beautiful new products and wonderful opportunities to save, and I hope you’ll enjoy browsing everything that’s new.

As always, if you have questions about any of the products or would like help placing an order, I’m always happy to help.

One of the things I love most about paper crafting is discovering a new technique that makes my projects look extra special. Well friends…I think Stampin’ Up! has another winner!

The brand-new Stampin’ Hot Foil System lets you add beautiful metallic shine to your handmade cards, scrapbook pages, tags, and more. Think elegant sentiments, gorgeous frames, delicate accents, and that luxurious foiled finish you’ve admired on professionally printed cards.

I’ll be honest—I was intrigued the first time I saw this system in action. The foiled details are absolutely gorgeous, and I immediately started thinking about Christmas cards, wedding cards, and special occasion projects. I can’t wait to experiment with it and share ideas with all of you!

If you’ve ever wanted to add a little “wow” to your projects, this is going to be so much fun!

The Hot Foil System works with your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately) using heat, pressure, specially designed dies, and foil rolls to transfer stunning metallic designs onto your cardstock.

A little tip: While the system works beautifully on regular cardstock, Two-Tone Cardstock gives the best results thanks to its extra-smooth finish.

🎥 See It in Action!

Sometimes it’s easier to see a new product than to describe it!

Watch this short Stampin’ Up! video to see just how simple—and impressive—the new Hot Foil System really is.

Order Early if It’s on Your Wish List

This is one of the most anticipated new products in the catalog, and I have a feeling it’s going to be incredibly popular.

If you’re already thinking, “I need this!” I would encourage you to order sooner rather than later. While Stampin’ Up! will continue restocking inventory as needed, no restock dates have been announced if products temporarily sell out.

🎁 Bonus Craft Class Included!

Here’s an exciting bonus!

For a limited time, every purchase of the Stampin’ Hot Foil System includes access to the Metallic Magic Craft Class—a $30 value at no additional cost.

In this virtual technique class, you’ll create beautiful projects while learning tips and tricks that will help you get the most from your new Hot Foil System. It’s a wonderful way to build your confidence while exploring everything this exciting new tool can do.

After purchasing your Hot Foil System, you’ll receive an email with access to the class.

What’s Included?

Your Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class includes:

• ✨ Metallic Magic Craft Class (a $30 value for a limited time!)
• Stampin’ Hot Foil Platform
• Heating Platform
• Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
• Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
• Silicone Platform Station
• Silicone Cooling Pad
• Power Cord

You’ll also need:

• Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately)
• Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls
• Hot Foil Dies

I Can’t Wait to See What You Create!

I have a feeling this is going to become one of those tools that opens up a whole new world of creativity. Whether you love elegant wedding cards, holiday projects, beautiful sentiments, or simply adding a little sparkle to your handmade creations, the possibilities are endless.

If this new system is already on your wish list, I’d recommend ordering early so you’re ready to start creating as soon as it arrives.

Happy stamping!

Have you heard about the New Ink Pad Style?

Stampin’ Up! is starting to roll out a brand-new ink pad design, and this one is less about a dramatic makeover and more about smart, functional upgrades you’ll notice over time.

Beginning with the 2026–2028 In Colors, these new ink pads will feature a magnet-based, stackable case, making them easier to store and keep organized (no more sliding stacks doing their own thing in your drawer).

They also have:

• A magnetic snap-tight closure that opens easily but stays securely shut, and they stack BEAUTIFULLY!
• More ink inside each pad, which means longer use before needing a refill

One important thing to know: this transition is happening gradually through 2027. So you’ll start seeing a mix of old and new styles as colors are updated.

And good news, you do not need to replace your current ink pads. They’ll continue to work just as well as they always have. You don’t need to run out and replace your ink pads, but hopefully you’ll enjoy this new design in our In-Colors, and can gradually update your ink pad collection.
