Oops… I Forgot to Tell You!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Well… this is embarrassing.

In my lurgy-induced brain fog I completely forgot to tell you about all the new Online Exclusives that Stampin’ Up!released on Tuesday.

Oops. Sorry about that.

However, better late than never, so let’s take a look at what’s new.

What Are Online Exclusives?

First of all, let’s clear up a question I get asked quite often: What exactly are Online Exclusives?

Online Exclusives simply refer to products that are released only on the Stampin’ Up! website. In other words, you won’t see them in any catalogue or printed publication.

At the moment, Stampin’ Up! releases Online Exclusives every second month—January, March, May, July, September and November.

How to order

Now, while I absolutely love it when people feel confident ordering online themselves, you are always welcome to contact me if you’d prefer me to place the order for you. However, products do need to be paid for upfront. It’s also easiest if you have an online account with your email and postal address so you can receive shipping confirmations and have your goodies delivered directly to your door.

If you don’t have an account yet, don’t worry—I can help you set that up. NO you definitely do not need to provide any bank or credit card details to have an online account and Stampin’ Up! does not store sensitive credit card information and security measures in place to ensure your personal information is safe.

Online Exclusives Released This Month

This month’s release has something for everyone.

To begin with, prices start at just $14, which makes some of these products perfect little add-ons to your next order. There are some adorable embellishments (the Garden Party Epoxy Dots are my personal favourite), as well as three stunning ribbons.

Interestingly, one of those ribbons looks remarkably like British police tape (Misty Moonlight Checkered Trim)—which, of course, makes my creative brain start thinking about all sorts of fun project ideas.

In addition, there’s the brand new Lunar Lustre 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper, which adds a beautiful silvery shimmer to your projects.

Meanwhile, don’t scroll past the Garden Textures Specialty Foil Sheets in the gorgeous colours Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel and Shaded Spruce. These sheets are perfect for adding shine and drama to your paper crafting.


Embossing Folders Worth Talking About

This month also introduces two new 3D embossing folders that would be very cute additions to your carefully curated craft collection: Lazy Daisy and Ladybug Picnic.

Because they’re 3D folders, they create deep impressions that really make your projects pop with dimension.

Personally, I could only justify buying one (for now), so I chose Ladybug Picnic. Not only is it adorable, but it also coordinates beautifully with the Cute as a Bug Suite from the January–April Mini Catalogue and the new Strawberries and Dots embellishments.

Additionally, there’s the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder, which includes coordinating dies. Even better, you can bundle it with the stamp set—or ideally purchase it as part of the Garden Poetry Suite—for even more creative possibilities.


Papers, Card stock and Stickers

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Stampin’ Up! release without paper.

This time there are six new Designer Series Papers, along with new two-tone card stock and a Designer Series Paper and sticker pack.

Consequently, if you’re someone who loves patterned paper (and let’s be honest, many of us do), you’ll definitely want to have a look.


Let’s Talk Stamps and Bundles

Naturally, there are also plenty of new stamp sets and bundles. However, there are a few that I particularly want to highlight.

Dream Team Stamp Set

Celebrating my team is really important to me, so I couldn’t resist investing in the Dream Team stamp set from Stampin’ Up! — which feels very appropriate considering The FlamInks are my dream team.

Think office banter meets handmade charm. This set is packed with playful sentiments and iconic office-themed images, making it perfect for celebrating promotions, retirements, new hires, or simply brightening someone’s workday.

It’s also ideal for team appreciation cards, scrapbook pages about your workplace crew, or even fun thank-you cards for volunteers and community groups.

And honestly… the moment I saw it included a coffee cup stamp, I was sold. Because let’s be real — no office or team is complete without coffee. ☕

Ready Set Go Stamp Set

Start your engines—the Ready Set Go Stamp Set is racing onto your craft table!

With race cars, checkered flags, cones and bold sentiments, this set is perfect for celebrating big wins, birthdays or the Formula 1 fans in your life. It’s a fantastic option for anyone who loves motorsport or fast cars, and it brings a fun sense of movement and excitement to your projects.

Use it to create energetic birthday cards, scrapbook pages for race day memories, or congratulatory cards when someone crosses the finish line on a big achievement.

In other words, it’s ideal for projects that deserve a little extra horsepower.

Service Essentials Bundle

First up is the Service Essentials Bundle.

It has actually been quite a while since Stampin’ Up! released a stamp set focused on military personnel, veterans and first responders. Therefore, this bundle feels especially meaningful.

With ANZAC Day coming up, it’s the perfect set for honouring heroes. The stamps and dies include dog tags, stars, crosses, rank insignias and bold sentiments that add thoughtful detail to thank-you cards, remembrance layouts and patriotic projects.

BBQ Master Bundle

Next is the BBQ Master Bundle

Now, some people in Australia might say that March is a little early to be thinking about Father’s Day. However, we all know that’s just crazy talk. By the time September rolls around, many of us will be knee-deep in Christmas card making, so it’s best to start those Father’s Day cards right now. Or… is that just me?

This bundle brings the flavour of a backyard barbecue to your craft table. With playful stamps and coordinating dies, you can create fun scenes to celebrate dads, BBQ lovers and end-of-summer gatherings.

Match Day Bundle

The next set might be slightly controversial—so stay with me.

The Match Day Bundle is all about football… or soccer, as we call it here in Australia.

At first glance you might assume Aussies don’t play much soccer, especially when television seems dominated by Rugby Union, Rugby League and AFL. However, the numbers tell a very different story.

In fact, more than 1.9 million Australians play soccer in organised competitions, and more than 6 million watch televised matches. Worldwide, it’s estimated that 265 million people play the sport, with billions of fans.

So yes, there’s definitely an audience for this bundle.

It includes images of footballs, jerseys, goals, grass and spirited sentiments. However, if you think a little creatively, the possibilities expand dramatically.

For example:

  • The goal net stamp could easily become a background texture or even chicken wire.
  • The die-cut goal could transform into a garden trellis with the addition of a few tiny flowers.
  • The flag stamp would be perfect on a punch-art castle or in a beach scene (swim between the red and yellow flags!).
  • Meanwhile, the grass dies would be fabulous on Easter cards.

Even better, you can buy the bundle and save 10%, or go all in with the Wonderful Match Suite Collection, which includes coordinating papers and Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers.

Rolling Waves Bundle

Beach lovers haven’t been forgotten either.

The Rolling Waves Bundle features a Distinktive™ stamp set, which creates beautifully textured, photo-realistic images in a single stamping step.

The set includes 11 stamps and 11 dies, allowing you to build seaside scenes with waves, palm fronds, shells, starfish and umbrellas.

Of course, it’s perfect for beach-themed cards and holiday scrapbook pages. However, I also think it would work wonderfully for non-traditional masculine cards.

Interestingly, the three largest stamps could also be used in grungy or steampunk projects, or simply to add interest to backgrounds. Meanwhile, the sentiments are versatile enough to work with many other stamps and dies you already own.

Honourable Mentions

Finally, two more bundles deserve a quick shout-out:

One More Thing…

Before I finish, I should also mention that four new product suites were released this month.

Suites combine carefully coordinated stamps, dies, papers, embellishments and ribbon, giving you a perfectly matched creative collection. All you need to add is ink, adhesive and card stock, and you’re ready to start crafting.

I’ve listed all my top picks at the bottom of this post to make things nice and easy for you. If something makes your crafty heart flutter, simply click on the photo to see more details or hit the “Add All to Cart” button and let the creative fun begin.

Fair warning though… browsing craft supplies can be a little dangerous for the wallet, but absolutely wonderful for the soul.

Until next time… happy creating.
