The moment the new Stampin’ Up! May-August 2026 catalogue landed, I did two things. First, I made a very long wish list. Then I called up two of my favourite fellow Canadian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and said “we need to celebrate this.”
And that’s exactly what we’re doing!
Introducing Creative Kickstart
Creative Kickstart is a free online catalogue launch event happening this Wednesday, May 6th at 7:00 pm Mountain Time. It’s an evening packed with new product showcases, fresh inspiration and everything you need to fall completely in love with the new catalogue.
Fair warning: your wish list is about to get very long.
What’s Happening at Creative Kickstart
Three Canadian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators are each sharing their absolute favourite picks from the brand new May-August 2026 catalogue. I’ll be featuring some of the most beautiful new products including the stunning new In Colors, the new style ink pads, the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Suite Collection, Heirloom Blooms Two Tone Cardstock, the All AFlutter Punch Bundle with In Color Painted Patterns DSP and the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP with Blends.
Basically everything that made me gasp when I opened the catalogue for the first time. 😄
Sound familiar? This beauty was made with products from the new catalogue and it’s just a tiny taste of what’s possible. I’ll be sharing samples like this and more during Creative Kickstart!
Want to Make the Cards You’ll See?
If you’re the kind of crafter who loves having all the details to recreate what you see, we’ll have The Kickstart Collection available after the event. It’s a 6-card tutorial bundle with measurements, sketches, design tips and step-by-step instructions for select designs featured during Creative Kickstart. It’s the perfect companion to the event!
