Christi's Creative Crew: Details on Card Stock Price Increase Plus New Product Release

A fellow demonstrator, France Martin, shared this, and even though I tweaked it just a bit, she said it best and I wanted to pass it on to you...

I have some mixed news about some new products and a price increase on cardstock.

Make sure to read all about it. You have time to stock up on cardstock before the price increases.

It’s time for new products in the OnLine Exclusives. Stampin’ Up! Releases a new product every other month.

Yes, you heard me correctly—a new product every other month. You will find new products in January, March, May, July, September, and November.

This month, more than 40 new products were released!

The Online Exclusive is available to ALL to purchase (you can place your order directly in my online store or call in your order). It says Online Exclusive because the products are NOT published in any Stampin’ Up! Catalogs. The only way to view the product selection is to visit the online store. You can see it HERE

Don't be afraid to shop online!! It is no different than shopping at Amazon, etc. - you look for what you want in the store that you will get the products that you want. In fact, I rarely shop at a brick & mortar store anymore. I guess it is just the way it is now, which probably started with Covid back in 2020. I really do appreciate your online business.

Right now I have a host code that will go until April 1st. Please use this new code when placing your online order...

On April 15th a new rewards program will be starting and you will be rewarded for EVERY order that you place that is over (only) $20 - this is a win-win for you. More details will come as the time gets closer and I have a better grasp of it all.

Availability of the Online Exclusive Products:

Many of you ask how long the Online Exclusives will be available. All Online Exclusive products are only available while supplies last. Although some of the products will sell out and more are on the way.

How can you tell if the product is SOLD OUT or if more will be available later?

When shopping on the Online site, if you enter a product number and get the message Currently Unavailable, more are coming, but none are at the warehouse. If you get the message SORRY, the product is SOLD OUT, and no more are coming. ***This is 99.9% correct, but note that we can have an inventory error. If you are shopping in my Online store, don’t hesitate to contact me, and I will check the availability of the product you wish to have.

Stampin’ Up! announced that ALL card stock will go up in price starting with the new catalog on May 6th. This year, there will be a significant price increase on all card stock—an average of $2.50 per pack. The regular Basic White and Very Vanilla will only be sold in 24 sheets per pack instead of 40 sheets, which is an even more significant price increase. Originally the thick white was only going to be offered in the 12 x 12, but after listening to us demonstrators they have agreed to offer it in 8-1/2" x 11" as before, but you will only find it in the online store. Item #159229. ***Some papers can go on back order and not be orderable, so the earlier, the better to stock up.

Please know that I didn’t increase the price. I am the messenger. Hint: Be friendly with your comments.
