Product Shares & Designer Series Paper Swatch Books (2023 Annual Catalog)

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 is your day! I’m rolling out my Product Shares and Designer Series Paper Swatch Books for Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog. What fun! This catalog is jam-packed with amazing, new products, and I’m thrilled to share them with you.

Here’s a look at the front cover of this incredible catalog:

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:

Product Shares, Brian King 5 Stampin' Up! Product Shares, Brian King 6Now 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 25).
  • On May 2, 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. 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. Here are my 2023Annual Catalog Product Share offerings in a tidy, printable .pdf:

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 2023 Annual Catalog, you will receive 12 books filled with the new and gorgeous papers that I have cut, labeled and wrapped just for you.

Here’s a look at some of the books I created with papers from last year’s Annual Catalog (we aren’t able to order all of the new papers yet):

The books for 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers include one page of each of the designs, 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:

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 April 25 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!

  1. Love your product shares!

  2. I have been getting Brian’s Paper Shares for several years and love receiving them as quickly as possible after a new catalog rolls out. He packages everything so neatly and securely, there are no bent corners or lost gems. I enjoy that his 12×12 DSP packs are cut into 6×12 sheets (I like this much better than getting only 6×6 sheets). Having the Swatch booklets makes for a quick reference to find a coordinating paper or to check the designs in a specific pack. I highly recommend Brian’s Shares offers.

  3. Getting the “I Want it All Share” is a great way to sample a new catalog’s paper, ribbon and embellishments without having to invest in each item right away. I like having this sampling to see if I really need the product. Also, the Swatch Books are kept on my desk for ease of use in checking what is included in a package of dsp and what the coordinating colors are. Brian really puts together a great sampling of the new catalog.

  4. Yea! I was out at a crafting event today and we were all talking about when Brian’s swatch books & shares would be live! So I was excited to see this and can’t wait til they ship. The swatch books are absolutely a must have. And the shares are beautifully packaged. For me, it’s an affordable way to get some of everything new!

  5. The Shares are so much fun if you are a DSP JUNKIE like me ! Also ,I have used my Swatch Books from previous years to use the paper for Patchwork Cards !
    I think with the new colors that the SHARES and SWATCH BOOKS are a MUST !

  6. I have been buying Brian’s paper shares for years. I love, love, love them!
    As a retired person I need to be frugal so I can’t afford to buy each the beautiful DSP packages separately. I’m blessed to be able to buy Brian’s paper shares so I can have it all and within my budget. Thank you Brian for offering this opportunity.

  7. I love Brian’s shares. I have a designated spot on my craft room titled”Brian”. This way I know I can reference things quickly. I love the DSP samples as they show so much more of the osier than the catalog. The way he packages embellishments works great in my jewelry hanging organizer with clear plastic windows. It all cuts to the chase to get on with stamping!

  8. Brian, your shares are the best. Beautifully packaged, perfectly labeled, and I love the 6×12 paper sample! I don’t know how you do it, but you do it, and I’m so grateful

  9. Brian’s shares are a great way to start using the multiple new products without a huge investment. You get to actually see them in person as a catalog is not the same
    I started with his DSP Paper Swatch booklets but once “I got it all” I have gotten this every every new catalog
    I’m a hobbyist demonstrator myself but these are a great way to start out!

  10. I have been purchasing Brians paper shares for a while now. I cannot thank him enough for doing this. It is absolutely wonderful because this way I don’t have to buy all the new papers and everything else that comes out with a new catalog. I will be doing my happy dance the day they arrive in the mail! Thanks again!
