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 January-April Mini Catalog. What fun! This catalog is packed with amazing, new products – and I’m thrilled to share them with you.
With the release of this catalog on January 5, Stampin’ Up! is also kicking off a two-month Sale-a-Bration. What fun!
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 Thursday, December 29).
- On January 5, 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 2023 January-April Mini Catalog Product Share offerings in a tidy, printable .pdf:
There’s no additional charge for shipping on any of these shares. 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, and Ribbons/Embellishments) at a $5 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 Holiday Mini Catalog, you will receive 10 books filled with the new and gorgeous papers that I have cut and labeled just for you. If you also select the books from Sale-a-Bration, you’ll receive an additional 3 books.
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 the books I created with papers from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog:
The books for 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers include 12 pages of designs (the Country Gingham book includes 6 pages), 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.
Here’s a look at the books from the January-February 2023 Sale-a-Bration brochure:
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 Dandy Designs book includes 12 pages, cut to 3″ x 6″.
The front of each book includes the name of the pack of papers (and each of the staggered pages are visible):
The staggered pages make it easy for you to flip through the designs for each pack of papers:
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!
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 Thursday, December 29 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 wish list at [email protected].
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks, Brian, for offering these product shares and swatch books! I have used the swatch books many times – I love how the colors are listed on the back and how the books can be kept within arms reach on my stamp table. Highly recommend!
Love the SHARES! I get to sample all the DSP that way plus I may not need a whole pack of a certain one to complete my intended project! Swatch Books just make my selections faster and easier when trying to decide what I want to use.
It is the fun part of a new catalog for me!
I, too, love these Shares. They allow me to see all of the offerings in the new catalog before deciding what full packs I want. I love that you offer 12″ x 6″ sheets where available. I love the embellishments share for the same reason. Your packaging is so secure that there are no crushed edges on the paper. Thanks, Brian, for offering these.
I look forward to Brian’s product shares with each new catalog. My absolute favorite is the swatch books that he creates. It’s so nice to have a little swatch of each paper handy when designing projects. Such a time saver! Being a demonstrator myself, I also use the swatch books on my videos, and to pass around to customers at in person classes. It’s one of the best investments I make! Brian does a fabulous job and appreciate him so much. Do yourself a favor and order today!
Hi Brian
It’s that time again for your wonderful swatch books and shares! I have been “getting it All “ for the last few years which is especially helpful to actually see the products before ordering. I’m a hobbyist demonstrator so I enjoy these mainly for myself when thinking up new projects or to case those but that I don’t have all the supplies or want to change it up! I actually started by buying just the swatch books years ago when Brian first offered them! So thanks again Brian for continuing to make up your SHARES!You do a fantastic job packaging your Shares to be shipped
