Does your heart go pitter-patter when you flip through a new catalog for the first time? Does the excitement of ordering new products make you smile? Do you sniffle when you unpack your boxes of brand new Stampin’ Up! goodies? Well, today might be your day! It’s time for me to roll out my Product Shares and Designer Series Paper Swatch Books for Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog. What fun! This catalog is packed with amazing, new products – and I’m thrilled to share them with you.
Product Shares
With the launch of each catalog, I host product shares that give you the opportunity to take the amazing papers, ribbons and accessories for a test drive before you decide which ones you can’t live without – and there are A LOT of new items you can’t live without. What is a product share? Here’s a little cartoon I created a while back to help explain how a product share works:
Now that you are fully versed on what shares are (you are so smart and learn so fast), here’s how the process for these shares works:
- Sign up for a spot in one (or more) of the product shares – I’ve included a handy registration form at the base of this post.
- I will bill you through PayPal when all seats in your share are filled (on or after April 26).
- On May 3, I’ll place an order for the closed out/paid shares.
- Once I receive the product, I’ll quickly divide it up and ship it straight to you.
- I will smile, and you will smile. We’ll be very happy people. ♥
I can’t wait for you to take part in these shares. Trust me when I say you’ll WANT IT ALL – and it’s worth every penny. Here are my 2022 Annual Catalog Product Share offerings in a tidy, printable .pdf:
I know you are going to love these brand new products – and there’s no better way than to get a little bit of each.
The “I Want it All” Share is the best option of them all! The “I Want it All” Share includes ALL of the items from all of the options (Swatch Books, Papers, Ribbons/Embellishments and Designer Series Paper Stacks) at a $10 discount and no additional charge for shipping. In addition, every “I Want it All” Share will receive a FREE GIFT FROM ME (along with my undying affection)!
More About Designer Series Paper Swatch Books
With the release of each catalog, I create Designer Series Paper Swatch Books – and I love to share them with you. With your purchase of Designer Series Paper Swatch Books from Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog, you will receive 12 books filled with the new and gorgeous papers that I have cut and labeled just for you.
These papers are perfect for all of your stamping projects! Each book is wrapped with a coordinating color of cardstock and labeled for easy identification. Here’s a look at some of the books I created with papers from last year’s Annual Catalog:
The books for 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers include 6 pages of designs (a new configuration of the 6″ x 6″ papers in this catalog), all cut to 3″ x 6″. The books for the standard 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Papers include 6 pages, staggered by 1/4″ to make it easy to flip through all the amazing designs:
The back cover of each book includes the name of the paper, the product number, the colors showcased in the papers and the catalog in which the papers are featured:
I carry my books to all of my classes so my customers can see and touch all of the amazing papers. I store my books in a little tin on the edge of my desk – it’s such an easy reference tool when I’m creating!
We haven’t been able to order many of the Designer Series Papers from the 2022 Annual Catalog, so I don’t have a picture of all my books together. I’ll share once I can order these papers on May 3.
Here’s why you need these Designer Series Paper Swatch Books (if you didn’t already know):
- If you are a stamper or card designer:
- These books are a perfect reference guide for your DSP while you are busy creating beautiful projects – quickly pick the colors and patterns you want to use.
- All the coordinating colors are included on the back of the books. How nice!
- The staggered pages on the books make it easy for you to flip through to see all the colors and patterns.
- The books are small enough to sit at the edge of your desk – they won’t ever get in the way. I store mine in a cute metal bucket. It goes where I go in the Fungeon.
- If you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator:
- These swatch books are perfect for showcasing the beautiful DSP to your party guests, club members and customers. They will buy more DSP when they can see it and touch it – I promise!
- The staggered pages make it very easy for your customers to flip through so they can easily see both the front and back of the DSP.
- They are lightweight and portable, so you can easily take them with you wherever you go.
- The swatch books are a perfect gift for your party hosts, your best customers or your hard-working team members. Feel free to order multiples! ♥
I think you are ready to place your order! Please complete the form below with your information and the shares you’d like to join. I’ll send a PayPal invoice after April 26 and when your share has filled. It’s THAT easy!
If you want multiples of shares (because you like to share with others), please email me your wishlist at [email protected].
Thanks for stopping by!

This is my fifth paper/embellishment share from you and I get so excited when I get your email announcing the next one from the latest catalog! Being a hobby demonstrator I don’t need a full pack of all the DSPs in the catalogs as beautiful as they are. Your paper shares help me decide which papers I do need more of and I can use all the paper in your shares to make so many cards and even 3D items. The embellishments are beautifully packaged by you and again sometimes the share is just enough that I can use it on a few cards and not have to purchase the full amount. Thanks again for how well you do what you do. Looking forward to to my next share from you.
I love your shares, Brian. They are so well organized and well packaged – never a crunched corner on the paper. I agree with Rosemarie that the paper shares allow me to see the ones I want more of as well as give me a selection of each DSP pack. Getting the 6″ x12″ sheets is a big selling point for me. I feel I get much more bang for my buck with those where they are available. I have been getting Brian’s shares for several years and always enjoy having the full offering at my fingertips. He does a fabulous job of getting them in the mail as quickly as possible.
This will be my 3rd paper swatch order! What’s not to ❤️ About these… they are a quick handy check to see the coordinating colors that Brian puts on back of swatch book. It makes it easier than pulling out whole pack of DSP! And you can drool over all the beautiful DSP all at once!
I look forward to Brian’s share every time a new catalog comes out!! I love how helpful & organized they are!! This is a must have!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Yipeeee!! I love Brian’s paper swatches. I’m a demonstrator myself and I’ve been getting the paper swatches for years. Yes, I could take the time to make my own, but at 72, I’m still working full time and really don’t have the time to cut all that paper into such beautifully packaged sets. I set these out at all my monthly stamp camps, and watch my paper sales soar! Having samples of new products, really helps increase my sales. And when the papers retire, they love to take a few to make cards from the samples. Brian, you do an amazing job, and I’m a paper swatch gal forever! Thank you for offering them.
Yeah, it’s here…Brian’s paper shares. I look forward to getting these shares as they are so helpful to my customers. Looking at these papers in hand are way better than the pictures in the book. Thanks so much Brian for doing this.
With each catalog, I watch for this offer of the swatch books. I use them constantly and keep going back to the old ones as well as using the new. They save so much time and effort when looking for ideas and color combinations. Thanks so much for all the work you put into getting these together for us.
I have been waiting to sign up for your paper share and to purchase your designer paper swatch books. I use your swatch books on almost every card I create. They help me with color combinations and when choosing coordinating DSP pieces. Thanks for all your hard work getting all of this together!
I always look forward to your ribbon shares plus embells! It is one of the best things about a new catolog starting up! You and your elf helpers do such an amazing job wrapping all those ribbons and packing them just right! Thanks!
I always love getting your paper shares. It gives me the opportunity to sample all the different papers in an amount that I will use without adding too much to store in my craft room. Thanks once again for providing me with hours of fun.
I love making cards and I am a Stampin’ Up demonstrator for the discount. I love the product shares because it gives me a small amount of all of the papers. This allows me to make a wide variety of cards. I love getting a small amount of the new embellishments because it allows me to see them all in person before buying more. The sample amount of ribbon is usually enough if each one and I don’t go into the next year with a lot of unused ribbon. Most of all I love the paper swatch books that Bryan puts together. They list all of the colors and that helps a lot when making cards.
