Introducing Product of the Month! Using Freshly Made Sketch 717

 Stampin' Up! is offering us something new

Product of the Month!  

Each month we'll get access to a new product of the month (POM) that we can purchase for a nominal fee with a qualifying purchase.  The qualifying amount varies by market, but here in the US that is a $75 order. This is after any discounts, like Stampin' Rewards, have been applied to your order.  We'll be able to purchase the POM each month for $5.

Let's see what Demonstrator Development Manager, Natalie White has to share about POM.

They started this month (December 2025) with the True Blue Florals 12"X12" Designer Series Paper.  As you're shopping in my online store, you'll see a graphic showing you how close you are to getting the POM.  

I decided to pair the POM and this week's Freshly Made Sketch for my first card.  With only Balmy Blue and Night of Navy in the DSP, this card came together easily.

Other products I used were Stylish Shapes for the sentiment, Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots, and the  Gallery Blooms bundle adding Night of Navy in to the flowers with a small blending brush.

Here's the sketch.  Click on the graphic to see how others used the sketch.

Here's some more information about the product of the month program.

Once you have met the threshold amount, you will need to add the POM to your order.  It is NOT added automatically!  This is probably because in the system you are actually purchasing the POM and Stampin' Up! can't decide what you order.  We are giving feedback and are hoping this process will be more obvious in the online store soon.

A few details:

• This new program is replacing Sale-a-bration, so don't be looking for Sale-a-bration in 2026.
• These products are 'while supplies last'!  So don't wait to see all the wonderful projects people create with the POM before you get it.
• If they don't run out of a POM in one month, it will be available the following month(s), until their supply is depleted.  SO, in January, if there is True Blue Floral DSP stilll available, you could select that as your POM in January.  
• You can only select a POM once per Stampin' Up! account.  If you select the True Blue Floral DSP in December, you cannot place another order of $75 in January and get a second pack of that DSP even if it's available.
• The POM is available on a single order of $75+, but not on 2 orders that total $75 in a given month.

Going forward, I'll plan on getting the POM early in the month and share projects using the product so you can decide if it's a product you'd like.  Demonstrators are not given early access to these products.  We see them when you see them.   Looking ahead at the Stampin' Up! celendar, it seems to be the first Tuesday of each month.   In January 2026, that will be on the 6th!  I look forward to seeing them with you.
