Catalog Changes for Stampin' Up! And A Mystery Challenge Card

 Hey Everybody,

Here is some news about catalog changes for Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! Future Changes You Will Love!

Starting in May, 2026



A Simpler Catalog Experience—Now Three Times a Year!


Beginning in May, 2026 Stampin’ Up! will introduce a brand-new catalog format designed to make browsing and shopping more enjoyable than ever.


Instead of one large annual catalog and several mini catalogs, there will now be three beautifully designed catalogs each year, each one complete and current on its own.


New catalog schedule:

  • January – April
  • May – August
  • September – December


Each catalog will include brand-new products plus customer favorites like stamps, inks, papers, tools, and adhesives. No more flipping between the Annual Catalog and the Mini Catalogs to find what you need.


The card I have for you today is a challenge card, of course.  

Our challenge was buildings. I chose this beautiful paper from Stampin' Up called Beautiful Gallery.

 165196

BEAUTIFUL GALLERY 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

$12.50

- 48 sheets: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs
- 6" x 6" (15.2 x 15.2 cm)


I wanted a masculine card and this fit the bill. I followed a tutorial called, Crossover Gate Fold Card   by Jeanie Stark's Mystery Monday Stampin. That can be found here.

I stamped my sentiment on white paper and added it to the front. The inside reads, One gentle step at a time is enough. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: F4A836
Stamps: Unity Stamps-Where Butterflies Wait
Paper: white, lost lagoon, Beautiful Gallery designer series paper-Stampin' Up
Ink: mossy meadow
Accessories: Copper clay gems
Techniques: Crossover Gatefold card


You know, the layout of the card is simple, yet interesting. When I saw it, I wanted to include it in my ideas of card layouts for a future class.  I want to see what it would look like with other designer series paper that doesn't have a scene on it.


What do you think? Would you make this card? What ideas do you have for this layout? What might you use for stamps if you didn't use a scene like I did?


Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Sue
