Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog
The Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog is another exciting release to look forward to. It offers a curated selection of seasonal and themed products, perfect for fresh inspiration throughout the year. The Mini Catalog typically releases twice a year, in January and July, providing new stamps, dies, papers, and embellishments to keep your projects fresh and exciting. Each Mini Catalog also comes with its own set of recipes, ensuring you can recreate your favorite projects with ease.
Online Exclusives
In addition to the main catalogs, Stampin’ Up! also offers Online Exclusives. These products are not featured in any catalog, making them unique and fresh additions to your crafting supplies. Online Exclusives are released periodically throughout the year, without a set sales period. Some items may be restocked, while others are available only while supplies last. Recipes for these exclusive items will also be available on my webpage for easy access.
