Catalog Corrections for 2025-2026 Annual Catalog

Whenever a publication of this size is printed, a few mistakes often happen.  Here is a list of corrections needed for the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog:

  • Paper Snips Scissors on page 103, item 103579, $12.00 are no longer available for purchase.  The manufacturer has quit making them.  Stampin’ Up!™ is exploring alternative manufacturing options and hopes to bring this or a similar product back in the future.
  • Regal Distressed Patterns 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, page 116, item 164037, $10.00, the catalog lists this paper as being double-sided, it is actually single-sided
  • Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pad, page 137, 165284, $9.00, will not be offered, see explanation below
  • 2025-2027 In Color Classic Stampin’ Pad Bundle, page 137, item 165620, $40.50, will not be offered since the Cloud Cover Pad is unavailable, see explanation below, you can still buy the other four colors individually

Unfortunately, the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pad on page 137 (item 165284, $9.00) will NOT be offered as Stampin’ Up!™ has run into issues with color consistency.  An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when the Cloud Cover ink is paired with the firm foam used in Classic Stampin’ Pads, resulting in a shift in the color of the ink outside of the acceptable range at times.  The ink color may shift at times and hold steady at others, but there is no way to predict when the color will be correct and when it won’t.  So, Stampin’ Up!™ has made the decision NOT to sell the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pad.  You can still use Cloud Cover Ink on your projects though using one or more of these alternative options:

  • Purchase the Classic Stampin’ Spot Small Assortment 1 (page 33, item 166716, $19.00).  The chemical reaction does not occur on felt and Stampin’ Spots are made with felt.
  • Purchase the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (page 137, item 165279, $5.50) and use it for techniques that use ink refills and/or ink up an Uninked Stampin’ Spot (shown in Online Store only, item 141822, $10.00).
  • Purchase the 2025–2027 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (shown in Online Store only, item 165292, $17.50) and ink up your stamps or color images using the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Write Marker.

Please mark your catalog with the corrections.
