New Coordinating Die Sets

Stampin' Up! knows how much we like it when a stamp set comes with a coordinating die set, so they have created six new die sets that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalogue and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalogue. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion (until the end of September) while supplies last, and will not be offered in any catalogue.

Buy the stamp set and coordinating dies as a bundle to save 10%, or if you already own the stamp set you can buy the coordinating dies separately.
