Hi Reader,

Is anyone else as confused as I am as to what day it is? Having a holiday on a Thursday is just weird—it felt like a Saturday or Sunday. I actually had to stop and say, “Oh wait… it’s only Friday—I’m not behind on my to-do list!”

Anyway, now that we’ve officially welcomed 2026 and are packing away the decorations until next December, it’s time to focus on something that never goes out of style… crafting

New Releases Drop Tuesday – January 6th!

The January–April 2026 Mini Catalog and new January Online Exclusives go live this Tuesday, January 6th—and trust me, you’re going to want to take a peek.

Stampin’ Up! will also be offering a brand-new Product of the Month starting January 6th.
You’ll be able to add it to your order for just $5 with any $75+ purchase.

What will it be?

​
No one knows yet… but those are usually the best surprises.

👉 Mark your calendar for Tuesday—it’s going to be a good one.
