Sneak Peek What’s Launching Monday!

Advisors, Secret Box #2 is coming — and it’s one you’ll want to be ready for! With exclusive products, a highly requested theme and a built-in experience around the May Virtual Crop, this is for you and your customers who love a surprise and a fun community activity!

This launch also introduces a new Scrap Journal System designed to give you a more flexible, approachable way to create. Think simple starting points (Scrap Journal Album Kits), a coordinating collection and NEW Scrap Journal accessories that help guide the process from start to finish.

There’s a lot to love, and it all connects.

Head to the Launch Preview page for full details, and scroll down for WHY this launch will have you and your customers excited for Monday!

Why your customers will want it:

  • The surprise of not knowing what’s in the box
  • Exclusive products not sold individually
  • Brand-new Border & Frame Punch
  • Project Guidebooks are BACK!
  • Shared unboxing event during the May Virtual Crop
  • Save 10% when you order before the May Virtual Crop!
  • Option to purchase Secret Box #5 in December when you purchase boxes #1-4

As an Advisor, your “why”:

  • It’s an urgency driver: Limited-time, exclusive products
  • Built-in story: The surprise + Virtual Crop drives engagement
  • Easy to sell: Removes decision fatigue for customers
  • High perceived value: Bundled savings + exclusivity
  • Collectible momentum: Encourages repeat purchases

Why your customers will want it:

  • The Album Kit + Accessories Buy-It-All Bundle are the easiest way to start Scrap Journaling
  • An approachable alternative to 12x12 — smaller, flexible and ideal for everyday storytelling
  • Makes starting feel simple — they can begin immediately when their order arrives
  • Delivers a design-forward look without needing design skills
  • Accessories work together: Templates structure layouts, the stencil and clips organize pages and the pouch keeps tools ready

As an Advisor, your “why”:

  • Simplifies the sale: you’re offering a full solution, not a random product
  • Increases confidence at checkout: customers don’t wonder what they’re missing
  • Creates a clear entry point for new customers who aren’t ready for 12x12
  • Positions you as a guide through offering a complete creative start and complementing tools for creating
  • A useful space for you: use it as a brag book, photo journal, gratitude journal, the options are endless
