Big Catalog Changes Coming!

Spoiler alert! Our new and improved May–August 2026 Catalog launches at OnStage this weekend! Here is some of what makes this launch extra-exciting:

  • THREE is the magic number! We’re moving to three seasonal catalogs, replacing the one annual + two minis model. This means you get to focus on one book at a time. No more wondering where to find products — everything will be in each catalog — and you will get three catalogs per year. No more minis! The primary reason is to simplify the shopping experience for you. Each catalog is carefully curated so that those who prefer to shop from print can find everything they need for a great project—new products and core essentials—all in one book, without having to reference multiple catalogs at the same time.
  • Find what you’re looking for! With a clean layout, more product photos, clearer structure, new product icons, and a full index, locating your new favorite products is easy.
  • Celebrate new navigation! You’ll have the option to shop by crafting style or product category, making this page-turner smooth, fast, and fun for you and your customers.

As an independent demonstrator, I personally purchase and pay the postage for every catalog I mail out. As a THANK YOU, if you have been a customer of mine in the last six months, you will be receiving the first of these three annual catalogs — the May-August 2026 Catalog — from me in the mail, free!

If it’s been awhile since you’ve shopped with me (more than six months), just let me know if you’d like a catalog, and I’ll get one to you for the low cost of $5.00, which includes shipping if you need it sent to you! Just text me at 218-280-1559 or email me at marya2hanson@gmail.com.


Create an adorable card with this NOTES OF SPRING stamp set and send it to some-bunny you love! Or use it to craft a scrapbook spread of a moment you hold deer. Whatever you choose to create, this stamp set with woodland friends and useful sentiments is sure to add some springtime joy!

Stampin’ Pals Blog Hop: A New Year’s Winter Wonderland!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. Each project brings a different twist, and that’s what makes the hop feel like a stroll through a creative winter village. If you’re looking for inspiration (or maybe a reason to stay inside with your craft supplies), this hop is for you!

I always think of New Year’s Eve as a sparkly affair, so I decided to create a New Year’s card full of snowflakes and sparkles!

Here are your materials and measurements:

  • Secret Sea Cardstock
    • 4 1/4 x 7 1/2″; score on the long side at 5 1/2″
    • Two pieces of 2” x 4 ¼” 
    • Scrap for die cutting 

● Peaceful Garden 12 x 12″ Glimmer Cardstock

  • Two pieces of 1 ⅞” x 4 ⅛”
  • Scrap for die cutting

● Basic White Cardstock cut at 4” x 5 ¼

● Elegant Pines Snowflakes Designer Series Paper: Two pieces cut at 1 ¾” x 4” 

Instructions 

1. Fold the Secret Sea cardstock along the score lines to form the card base. 

2. Layer the Elegant Pines Designer Series Paper onto the Peaceful Garden Glimmer cardstock pieces. Attach the glimmer cardstock to the front side panel of the card base and to the separate Secret Sea cardstock piece.  (See photo below)

3. Cut three layers of circles out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I used Secret Sea cardstock, then the silver glimmer paper, then a snowflake pattern from the Elegant Pines DSP. Adhere the circles together.

4. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card. Now you have your separate elements of this card.

5. Stamp the sentiment from the new Reason to Celebrate stamp set, available soon, on a scrap piece of Secret Sea cardstock using Versamark ink. Heat emboss using Silver Embossing Power, and then cut around it using snips. Note: This stamp set is going to be SO popular — I just love the sentiments and the fonts!

6. Adhere the sentiment onto the circle piece. Line up the separate Secret Sea cardstock piece with the right side of the card base. Add adhesive to the both sides of the circled sentiment cluster and attach to the separate Secret Sea panel.  Remember to only use adhesive on the outsides of the circle back so nothing shows when you open up the card. I used Tear n Tape to make sure it’s secure.

7. Stamp the inside of the card, making sure to get the words in the middle of the panel if you don’t want them to show from the front.

You are done! I hope you liked my shimmer, wintery New Year’s card! Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog and enjoy every beautifully frosty idea. And stick around — next month we’re creating for the “Something New” theme, and you won’t want to miss it!

Have you tried Paper Pumpkin kits yet? They’re one of the highlights of my crafting month! Each month around the 19th or so, I receive my little box of crafting joy. Things I love about Paper Pumpkin:

  • the quality of the products
  • the versatility of the products
  • the surprise factor (we receive hints about the kit, but there’s always that aha! moment)
  • the fact that the shipping is included in my kit price!
  • the knowledge that I have control over my subscription: I can suspend it, skip a month, cancel it, or subscribe FOREVER! Yay!

Your monthly, all-inclusive crafting kit includes a photopolymer stamp set, Classic Stampin’ Spot™, and step-by-step instructions to complete exclusive paper craft projects, including cards, tags, and gift packaging.

Starting December 1 at 8 a.m., we’re offering big savings on prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions! There’s never been a better time to subscribe to get a new all-inclusive crafting kit delivered to your door each month. Take advantage of this Cyber Monday offer for fantastic deals on 3-, 6-, and 12-month prepaid subscriptions.

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas present that sparks creativity or resolving to make time to craft in the new year, a Paper Pumpkin subscription is the gift that keeps on giving. Read on for more information about this special offer and some key details you and your customers should know.

From December 1–9, prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will be discounted as follows:

3-month prepaid: $61.00 (regular price $81.00)

And here’s the fine print:

  • Subscriptions purchased during this promotion start immediately with the December Watercolor in Bloom Kit. This kit cannot be skipped.
  • Do not purchase multiple subscriptions for the same recipient. The subscriptions will all start with the Watercolor in Bloom Kit, so the recipient will end up receiving duplicates of the same kit each month.
  • Shipping cost is built into the price of the kit and is not reduced.
  • Don’t miss your chance to enjoy months of exciting kits at an incredible value!

The other option is for you to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin for a monthly, all-inclusive crafting kit that’s a fun surprise!
