Along with the new SU catalog issues (see the previous post), here are two other changes coming up soon:
Ink pad design to begin gradually over the next two years.
The new design features a felt (not foam) ink pad in a magnet-based, stackable case; it’s thoughtfully engineered, beautifully functional, and completely top of the line. With an easy, mess-free open and a snap-tight closure, and it holds more ink! (It's the same design previously produced by Close to My Heart)
The rollout won’t happen for the entire ink pad line until 2027, and there is no rush to replace what you already own. The first pads will be available in May 2026, starting with the 2026–2028 In-Colors. Here's a sneak peek video of these new colors and pads in action!
Product Pricing Changes
As you have probably all noticed, prices of everything have gone up these days: food, clothing, etc., and craft supplies are certainly no exception. SU has been delaying increases as long as possible, however due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories:
- Select Paper products: Envelopes, Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, and Masking Paper
- Designer Series Paper
- Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills
- Stampin’ Blends
- Select Embellishments, Twines, and Linen Thread
- Select Stampin’ Cut & Emboss products
- Heat Tool
- Cutting & Scoring Blades Multipacks
- Select Coloring Tools
- Storage
- Select Adhesives
- Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will also see an upcoming price increase.
More details about Paper Pumpkin will be shared on March 3, 2026.New pricing will apply to the May–August 2026 Catalog.
So my word of advice: if you have anything on your wish list that is included in the list above, order them soon, before May, to get the current pricing before it goes up.
Happy to answer any questions, take care.
