In the meantime, take another look at the DSP selection in the Annual Catalog and start your wishlist.  

Where’s the Halloween?

 The majority of our Halloween products launched with our July Online Exclusives. 

We appreciate your enthusiasm for this holiday crafting favorite and love the scary-good ideas you come up with each year! In fact, that’s why we released much of our Halloween products online, ahead of the mini catalog. It allows you more time to plan and prepare and gives us a greater opportunity to reorder products ahead of Halloween if we encounter a “run” (an item that sells more than forecasted).

 Beyond the Online Exclusives, you’ll find some sweet Halloween pieces in our upcoming scrapbooking release, including a sticker sheet, a Designer Series Paper pack, and a scrapbooking pages kit. We’ll treat you to more details on these products in late August, before they’re available for purchase. 

SHIPPING AND PRODUCTION UPDATE

As supply chain shortages, global shipping delays, labor shortages, and transportation and delivery difficulties continue, we ask that you please be transparent about these issues with your customers. While we are doing our best, some delays cannot be avoided (as much as we wish it weren’t so). Helping customers set appropriate expectations can create greater understanding in a difficult and unpredictable time.

With any product launch, the distribution center may fall behind our typical shipping timeframes. In such cases, we will do all we can to return to our regular service levels as quickly as possible.

(New Information) Our North American distribution center is shipping at 4-5 days.

Enjoy Creativity

Scrapbooking with Thoughtful Journey

Have you tried scrapbooking yet?  Now is the perfect time! The new 2024–2025 Annual Catalog is full of great, new products—like Memories & More—that make it easy (and fun!) to preserve your favorite photos. Today we’ll show you how to create scrapbook pages using the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card Pack with its beautiful watercolor designs and etched details. To capture the sophisticated yet freestyle look of our Thoughtful Journey project, begin by using a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to draw loose lines around the edges of two sheets of 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Very Vanilla Cardstock. Stamp the floral images in Crumb Cake ink, stamping off some of the images to create depth. Arrange the Memories & More cards to create a base for your photos (cut down the larger polka dot card). Finish by tucking the die-cut floral pieces here and there on the pages to create an eye-pleasing arrangement. If you’re new to scrapbooking, we hope you’ll use this example for inspiration! And remember, our Memories & More Card Packs are designed to provide you with double-sided card fronts, too—so they’re great to have on hand for last-minute, quick and easy cards.
