Card Stock Cost Calculation
The new Stampin’ Up! year is fast approaching and we are thrilled to have received the new catalog! We are a busy working on plans for a variety of exciting planners to help you share the new products with your customers. We would love to
hear your ideas and suggestions.
With the new year, you will find that some of your current Class in a Flash planners include products that will no longer be available. They still have immense value and many of you will be re-creating some of your favorite projects with an updated look. This could be as simple as changing out the stamp set, ribbon size or color of the card stock or a total new color renovation from our previous tip of the month.
With the new catalog, we have a change in the way our card stock is packaged and priced. With our 8-1/2″ x 11″ packs, there is a slight increase in cost. We hear from many of you how valuable our cost analysis tables are in our class planners, so this month we want to give you a resource to make calculating the cost to re-create your older planners.
We’ve crunched the numbers to come up with a per sheet cost estimate you can use to find the adjusted price for producing your projects.
Here are the figures:
20010-2011 Whisper White & Very Vanilla Card Stock 8-1/2″ x 11″
United States adjustment per sheet: 0.024
Canadian adjustment per sheet: -0.017
2010-2011 Colored Card Stock 8-1/2″ x 11″
United States adjustment per sheet: 0.059
Canadian adjustment per sheet: 0.050
2010-2011 Basic Black, Basic Gray, Sahara Sand & Kraft Card Stock 8-1/2″ x 11″
United States adjustment per sheet: 0.100
Canadian adjustment per sheet: 0.101
We’ve also included an Excel Spreadsheet (97-2007) for calculating larger projects.

We hope this information will help you extend the life of your planners. We look forward to the new year and sharing some fun new Class in a Flash planners with you each and every month.

Debbie, you won’t be disappointed with the cupcakes. The hard part will be picking just one flavor – we have FOUR options: Germany Chocolate, White Raspberry, Lemon and Chocolate Chocolate.
