New & Exciting: Magnetic Ink Pads + A Fresh Catalog Format Are Coming!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

On my Facebook Stampin’ Community page, Linda’s Stampin’ Escape, I’ve been sharing some of our favorite products from the Last Chance List – click the link and check it out! It’s always a little bittersweet to say goodbye to beloved favorites… but today, I get to flip the script and share something NEW and exciting that’s right around the corner — the NEW Magnetic Ink Pads coming with the upcoming catalog release in May!

Stampin’ Up! is rolling out a refreshed ink pad design that combines innovation with practicality. These new ink pads feature a felt ink surface for beautifully smooth, consistent inking and long-term ink stability — meaning your pads will stay juicy and ready for stamping longer. The new magnetic case design makes them super easy to open and close (no more wrestling with your ink pad!) and allows them to stack neatly on your stamp table. Organization lovers, rejoice!

What’s especially exciting is that these new magnetic felt ink pads will debut alongside the 2026–2028 In Colors, with two brand-new In Colors being previewed in the video I’ll be sharing from Stampin’ Up! You’ll get to see the pads in action and sneak a peek at those gorgeous new hues before the full catalog launches. Trust me… you’re going to start planning projects in these colors immediately.

More great news — we’re also getting a brand-new catalog format! Stampin’ Up! is refreshing the way we shop and browse, making it easier to find coordinating products, discover creative inspiration, and build your wish list. Instead of juggling an annual catalog plus multiple minis, we’ll now enjoy three beautifully designed catalogs each year—each one complete, current, and easy to use on its own. No more overlapping catalogs!

These seasonal catalogs will be released every four months:
January–April • May–August • September–December

Each catalog will feature brand-new products alongside favorite core staples we all love (stamps, ink, paper, tools, and adhesives), bringing the best of a mini and an annual catalog together in one place. I can’t wait to start sharing these new catalogs with you—May is bringing a fresh, easy, and inspiring way to shop and create! 💕

Be sure to watch the video I’ve shared above for a first look at the new Magnetic Ink Pads and a sneak peek at two of the upcoming In Colors. Then tell me… are you more excited about the new ink pad design, the new colors, or the fresh catalog look? I have a feeling May can’t come soon enough!

Thanks so much for joining me today, and let me know in the comments what your looking forward to the most.
