It’s here! The 2024 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog is new this month! Not only does this catalog have new stamp sets, bundles, Designer Series Paper (DSP), and more; but has new layout features. Yes, this annual catalog design is much different from what we’ve seen in the past. But no matter how you look at it, this catalog is all about the connections we make and colors to create.
New Annual Catalog 2024-2026 In Colors
Happily anticipated with each new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog are the new In Colors. See them for yourself below. I love the Petunia Pop color!
A New Neutral Color Arrived
Also, a new neutral color made it’s debut, called Basic Beige. As a result, you can get ink, cardstock, and ribbon in this color. I’m already a fan of this color! It’s the perfect transition between Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake, if you’re trying to judge how this fits into the color scheme. Of course, I had to try this color out, too. The first card I created with products from the new catalog use all six new colors.
For example, take a peek with the Seaside Wishes bundle. You can find this bundle featured on page 73 of the annual catalog. Summer Splash represents the sea, and Basic Beige makes the sandy beach. Then Shy Shamrock seaweed, Petunia Pop sand dollars, Pretty in Pink shells, and Peach Pie starfish all washed up with the tide.
Other Annual Catalog Features
As I mentioned previous, the layout of this catalog is different from years past. But I think in a good way. The first portion of the catalog is divided into three sections and contains many new products: Step-by-Step, Quick & Easy, and Creativity Your Way.
First, Step-by-Step products are easy to use, portable and fun. Everything you need is inside the box, along with instructions for assembly. These kits come in two forms. A kit collections box is a one time order, and a Paper Pumpkin Kit comes directly to your mailbox every month with a subscription. Follow the links to learn more about why I like them.
Secondly, Quick & Easy options for crafting combine products for simple stamping and a wide variety of parts and pieces you pick and purchase individually. As a result, you can design your own projects without an instruction sheet. But many of these products are easy to assemble and store, too. The top ten crafting essentials pages are a reminder, so you don’t forget to order what you need. You’ll even find ideas for some basic card designs to get you started. I love this. Great for beginners!
Thirdly, the Creativity Your Way section is where the more seasoned crafters find a wide range of products like stamps, dies, punches, DSP, craft tools, ribbons and other embellishments. A crafter’s creativity can be unlimited by using the many tools and techniques offered in the examples.
After that, as you continue to work your way closer to the middle and end of the annual catalog, you’ll find many favorites and carryover items featured in past catalogs. So, if you haven’t been able to add them to your stash yet, you can still do it.
