Stampin’ Up!™ is committed to providing high-quality paper crafting products and a great overall experience, without compromising the quality that Stampin’ Up!™ is known for. At the same time, they carefully consider costs and other important factors. To do this, they regularly review pricing based on the cost of doing business, global exchange rates, rising supplier costs, and market comparisons. When price adjustments are necessary, they approach them thoughtfully and conservatively. They delay increases as long as possible because they understand how they affect you

* Stampin’ Up!™ will be changing the Stampin’ Ink Pads starting with the new 2026-2028 In Colors. They will transition ALL Stampin” Ink Pads to the new style in the next year or so when they do a color refresh. A color refresh means that some current (non In Color) colors will be retired and new colors will be introduced or some former In Colors may be brought back. The new Stampin’ Ink Pads will be FELT based instead of FOAM based. This means that current Ink Refills can NOT be used to re-ink new FELT based pads. The new Stampin’ Ink Pads will also be magnetic! I will discuss the changes to the ink pads in more detail in a different post.

Due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories in the near future:

  • Scoring Blades Multipack (for Paper Trimmer)
  • Storage

It appears that the Grid Paper on page 103 of the annual catalog may be retiring as it is not shown in the new catalog that starts in May. This Grid Paper might be carried in the Online Store as an Online Exclusive though. The current Grid Paper is item 130148 and costs $13.00. The current Grid Paper is 11″ x 17″. There is a new Grid Paper called the Crafting Grid Paper in the new catalog that starts in May. It is 17″ x 14″ and costs $17.00.

I’ll share more information on price increases as I get more information. In the meantime, if you’d like to stock up on any of the products listed above, now is a great time to do so!
