Two NEW Stampin’ Up! Kits for August 2026: Crafted Blooms & Witchy Whimsy

There are TWO brand-new Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection projects for August, and I love that neither one is a traditional card kit. πŸŒΈπŸ§™‍♀️

If you’ve been looking for easy DIY home decor, beginner-friendly paper crafting projects, or simply something fun and different to make, the new Crafted Blooms Kit and Witchy Whimsy Hat Kit definitely deserve a look.

Stampin’ Up! Kits are designed to make crafting easy. The projects are planned for you, the coordinating supplies are included, and step-by-step instructions help you put everything together. They’re wonderful for newer crafters, but they’re also perfect for experienced crafters who want a relaxing project without having to design everything from scratch.

Let’s take a closer look . . . πŸ‘‡

🌸 Crafted Blooms Kit . . .


Flowers you never have to water? YES, PLEASE. 🌼🌸🌿

The Crafted Blooms Kit lets you create three beautiful dimensional floral art pieces filled with colorful layered blooms, greenery, and uplifting sentiments.

You’ll create:

🌼 Three projects — one each of three different designs
🌸 One 4" x 6" project
🌿 Two 5" x 7" projects
✨ Layered, dimensional floral embellishments
πŸ’Ž Iridescent rhinestone gem accents


The kit includes the precut paper pieces, adhesive, embellishments, and step-by-step instructions you need to complete all three projects.

And I LOVE the possibilities once they're finished.

Display them on a clipboard or corkboard, tuck them into a deep-set frame, add them to your craft room, office, or entryway . . . or give one as a handmade gift. πŸ₯°

The color combination is absolutely gorgeous, too, featuring Calypso Coral, Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Golden Glow, Old Olive, Peaceful Pines, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Secret Sea, and Strawberry Slush.





πŸ§™‍♀️ Witchy Whimsy Hat Kit . . .


Now THIS is a fun one. πŸŽƒπŸ•·️

The Witchy Whimsy Hat Kit takes Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection in a completely different direction with an adorable 14-inch-tall decorative witch hat.

It has just the right combination of spooky and whimsical with:

πŸ•·️ Spiders and spider webs
🐈‍⬛ A black cat
πŸ‘️ Creepy little eyeball details
πŸŽƒ Classic Halloween colors
🌸 Dimensional flowers
πŸŽ€ Ribbon and lace
⭐ Rosettes and layered embellishments


Even better, the kit contains everything from the printed precut pieces and embellishments to paint, ribbon, a sponge dauber, cheesecloth, pins, wire, and adhesive.

The color palette combines Basic Beige, Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin Pie for a wonderfully vintage Halloween look.

Set the finished hat on a table, mantel, shelf, or entryway display and you've got a handmade Halloween decoration you can pull out year after year. πŸ§™‍♀️✨





✂️ Which August Stampin’ Up! Kit Would You Make?

This month's releases really show how much variety there is in the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection.

🌸 Crafted Blooms is bright, cheerful, and perfect for everyday decorating.

πŸ§™‍♀️ Witchy Whimsy is playful, spooky, and ready for Halloween.

And because the designing and coordinating are already done for you, you can concentrate on the best part . . . CRAFTING. ❤️

Which one has your name written all over it?

Are you TEAM BLOOMS 🌸 or TEAM WITCHY πŸ§™‍♀️?

Or are you like me and thinkin . . .  BOTH. πŸ˜‚


Why You'll Love the Stampin' Up! Kits Collection . . .

The Kits Collection continues to be one of my favorite ways to introduce people to papercrafting because everything is designed to make creativity simple and stress-free.

These kits are perfect for:

πŸ’– Beginning crafters
πŸ’– Busy families
πŸ’– Travel crafting
πŸ’– Creative gifts
πŸ’– Craft nights with friends
πŸ’– Anyone wanting a relaxing creative escape

No cutting machines.
No measuring.
No guessing.

Just open the box and start creating.

If you'd like to add either of these beautiful July Kits Collection projects to your crafting space, I'd love to help you get yours.

At this time there are over 30 kits available for purchase which vary from greeting cards, to gift tags, to home decor items and more. WOW! That's a LOT.

These Kits provide an opportunity to create with a limited amount of supplies; perfect for creating on the go or when you just are focused on the joy of finished projects.

These are also the kits that we use at my Girls Night Out (GNO) Events held twice a month at the Hyatt Place in Verona, WI. Come Join Us.

Stampin’ Up! August Last Chance Products Are Here | Shop Retiring Craft Supplies Before They're Gone

If you've been waiting to grab that stamp set, bundle, die, embellishment, or crafting tool that's been sitting on your wish list, now is the time! The Stampin' Up! August Last Chance Products have officially been added, and once these products are gone, they're gone for good.

Stampin' Up! regularly refreshes its product offering to make room for exciting new releases. As part of that process, selected products move into the Last Chance Products category where they're available only while supplies last.

Whether you're a card maker, scrapbooker, or paper crafter, this is the perfect opportunity to save on retiring favorites before they disappear forever.

What Are Stampin' Up! Last Chance Products?

The Last Chance Products category includes retiring products from current catalogs and Online Exclusives (excluding Paper Pumpkin). This collection is updated every other month, giving you multiple opportunities throughout the year to shop retiring favorites before they're discontinued.

  • Once an item sells out, it is permanently retired.
  • Discounts vary by product and may change at any time.
  • New products are added every February, April, June, August, October, and December.

Why You Should Shop Early . . .

Some of the most popular Stampin' Up! products disappear within hours of being added to the Last Chance list. If there's something you've been considering, I highly recommend placing your order sooner rather than later.

Waiting could mean missing out completely.

Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper | August Stampin' Up! Product of the Month


If autumn is your favorite crafting season, you're going to fall in love with this month's exclusive release.

Introducing the Glow of Harvest 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (168598) . . . the August Stampin' Up! Product of the Month. This stunning paper collection captures everything we love about fall with soft florals, delicate foliage, elegant pumpkins, and warm neutral tones that coordinate beautifully with so many projects.


What makes this paper even more special is its gorgeous pearlized finish. Every sheet has a subtle shimmer that catches the light and instantly elevates handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, gift packaging, tags, and home dΓ©cor.

One of my favorite things about this collection is how versatile the patterns are. The smaller, more detailed prints make beautiful backgrounds for cards and scrapbook pages, while the larger floral and pumpkin images are perfect for fussy cutting and creating layered focal points. Whether your style is clean and simple or beautifully layered, this paper works effortlessly.

As scrapbookers, you'll also appreciate that the paper is photo safe, making it perfect for preserving your favorite fall memories, pumpkin patch adventures, family gatherings, Thanksgiving celebrations, or colorful autumn hikes.


Why You'll Love Glow of Harvest

πŸ‚ Pearlized specialty finish for elegant shimmer

πŸŽƒ Beautiful pumpkins, florals, leaves, and botanical images

✂️ Perfect for fussy cutting

πŸ“Έ Photo-safe for scrapbook layouts

🍁 Coordinates with countless autumn colors

🎁 Ideal for cards, scrapbook pages, tags, gift boxes, journals, and home décor

Limited Means Limited . . .

The Product of the Month program is unlike any other Stampin' Up! offering.

Each month features one exclusive product that is:

• Available only while supplies last

• Limited to one purchase per account

• Never included in a catalog

• Not part of the Online Exclusives collection

Once inventory is gone, this paper will not return.

If Glow of Harvest has found its way onto your wish list, I recommend ordering sooner rather than later.

I can't wait to start sharing project ideas throughout the month featuring this gorgeous paper. From elegant cards to scrapbook layouts and everything in between, there is so much inspiration to come.
