In just a few short weeks, Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2025 Annual Catalog debuts! It’s full of fun new products (and many returning items, too). You can begin ordering from it Wednesday, May 1, 2024. As a demonstrator, I have the opportunity to preorder a selection of products, including the new 2024-2026 In Colors — ink pads, card stock, coordinating Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Blends, and embellishments. The colors include: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Summer Splash, and Shy Shamrock.
2024-2026 In Color Treat Packets
In today’s post, I showcase some quick and easy treat packets featuring Stampin’ Up!’s new In Colors.
Here are a few measurements to help you get started. Be sure to watch the video below (a Facebook live replay). I give step-by-step directions from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, to help you make these at home.
Solid color card stock measuring 10 x 3 1/4, scored and folded at 1, 4 3/4, and 6 1/4
Coordinating pieces of Designer Series paper measuring 3 x 3 1/2 (2) and one measuring 3/4 x 3
A sentiment. For these packets, I used the “hello” from the Layering Leaves stamp set heat embossed with white and punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch
Coordinating ribbon
I love that I can use so many other patterned papers and sentiments. These treat packets also work as gift packaging for different holidays.

Today, I’m showing you how I’m sending sunshine Stampin’ Up! style!
In case you hadn’t heard, a new trend is here: Sharing Sunshine (#ShareSushine). You fill a box with any yellow items you can find, and send it to someone to let them know you’re thinking of them. Stampin’ Up!’s June monthly crafting kit, Paper Pumpkin, focused on sharing sunshine. The kit contents, delivered in a bright yellow box, contained cards that featured sunshine and caring. We created the cards and decorated the box and sent it to a friend.
Unfortunately, the kit sold out. But you can still share sunshine using Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes. A package of 10 boxes costs just $7.50. Decorate them any way you like, fill with goodies, and send.
Sending Sunshine
The boxes come in plain white. I colored the box above with Stampin’ Up!”s Sponge Brayers and Balmy Blue ink, layering on the ink until I received the desired look. I didn’t strive for a perfect solid color; I wanted it to look like sky with a few wispy clouds overhead.
To create the sun, I used the Stitched Shapes Dies (large circle) and the Stitched Triangles (itty bitty triangle) to die cut the images from one sheet of the Playful Patterns 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the June Paper Pumpkin directly on the box using Memento ink. Don’t have that stamp set? Stampin’ Up!’s Under My Umbrella and Sending Sunshine also have sayings appropriate for a box of sunshine.
I added a piece of yellow tissue paper and a handful of fun, yellow items. Ready to send to a friend!
Take a look at this YouTube video showing how I created the box. (It’s a replay of a Facebook Live.)
