Introducing the NEW Ink Pad Style
Beginning May 2026, the new ink pad design will roll out — starting with the new 2026-2028 In Colors only.

In Colors – Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow, Peaceful Pine, and Hydrangea Hue
Here’s what you need to know:
✔️ Felt Ink Pad Surface
We’re returning to a felt-style pad, which many stampers love for:
- Excellent performance with detailed stamps
- Rich, even ink coverage
- Beautiful image transfer
✔️ Magnetic, Stackable Case Design
Yes… magnetic. The new style is thoughtfully engineered, beautifully functional, and completely top-of-the-line. With an easy, mess-free open and a snap-tight closure, we think you’ll agree it’s one of the coolest ink pad cases available.
The new cases:
- Features a magnetic closure
- Easy to open
- Are designed to be stackable
- Will still work with our current Stampin’ Up! storage systems
- Size: 4-15/16″ x 3-3/8″ x 5/8″
- Price $14.00
✔️ Gradual Transition Plan
This isn’t an overnight change.
- The new pads will debut with the 2026–2028 In Colors
- In 2027, all ink colors will transition as part of a planned color revamp
- The current pad style will be gradually phased out
And most importantly…
There is NO need to replace your current ink pads.
They will continue to work beautifully throughout this transition. Use what you have. Love what you have. Replace as needed over time.

Even Bigger News — A Simpler Catalog Experience
Starting in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! is completely refreshing how catalogs work.
Instead of one large annual catalog, we’ll now have three hybrid catalogs each year, combining the best of both mini and annual catalogs into one easy-to-shop experience.
New Catalog Cycles:
- January – April
- May – August
- September – December
Each catalog will include:
- Brand new products
- Customer-favorite staples
- Shopping by product category (yes — it’s back!)
This is going to make finding what you need faster and easier than ever.
Happy Stampin!
