It's time!!

 I love the launch of a new catalog! While many Stampin' Up! demonstrators have been living for more than a month with our 2021 Annual Catalog, we've only been able to order a select few things from the catalog. Today we are all excited to share its wonders with the rest of the world. What fun! There are SO MANY amazing products inside these pages, and I'm certain you'll wish for a "one of everything, please" button.

A little bit about the gorgeous cover of this catalog...

The projects on the front of this year's Annual Catalog showcase papers, stamps, and accessories from the Expressions in Ink Suite. This suite is one of my favorites in the new catalog, but demonstrators haven't been able to order it until today.



Stampin' Up! used to call the catalog The Idea Book and that's really what it is.  Most of the pages have several cards and each can inspire you with layout, color combos and techniques.  You can copy them exactly, of course, but often I use them as a jumping off point to try out new ideas. 

  • There are 10 suites. The suites in this catalog are pared down to make them more affordable. There are none with 2 stamp sets or 2 sets of dies. Each suite this year has just now one bundle, Designer Series Paper, and one other item. The savings for the suites have always been the 10% you save on the bundles. And you can always add the extras!
  • Speaking of bundles, there are 29 new bundles in this catalog and 5 that carried over from other catalogs, so you have a lot of opportunity to save! The bundles are listed with the stamps and there's another listing of the bundles with punches on pages 147-148 and  with dies are on pages 157-161.
  • The Accessories Index is still there! Yay!!!
  • Color coding at the edges of the pages to help you find the sections of the catalog: All Occasion, Birthday, Love, Thanks, & Support, Holidays, Artistic Expression, and the Accessories & More.
  • You may be dismayed that the Fine Tip Glue Pen is not in the catalog. Not to worry! You will still be able to purchase it online.
  • There really aren't any kits in this catalog. Stampin' Up! will have a new line of all-inclusive kits online. I have only seen hints about these, but this new line is mentioned on page 9. And of course, if you're in North America, we still have Paper Pumpkin Kits.
  • If your wish list is as long as mine, get your pen and paper out and start filling it up!
