Spellbinders 2026 Club Updates

 Happy New Year Friends! 
 
Spellbinders has made a few updates to their Monthly Club Subscriptions and I thought it would do a quick recap of the changes before I start sharing my monthly inspiration. I also provided links below to all the clubs.
 

 2026 CLUB UPDATES 

The updates include: 
  • A new BetterPress & Foil Club 
  • The retirement of the standalone Glimmer Club 
  • The retirement of the standalone BetterPress Club 
  • The retirement of the Wax Seal Club 
  • The renaming and expansion of All Clubs Crate (formerly Caboodle / Want It All) 

Beginning in January 2026
  • All active BetterPress and Glimmer Club members will be moved into the new BetterPress & Foil Club 
  • Members who were subscribed to both clubs will be moved into one combined subscription, and the second subscription will be automatically cancelled 
  • Members whose clubs are ending or changing will continue to have full club access through January 5, allowing time to explore and select any new club options 
If you prefer not to continue in the new club, you may cancel before the January billing date.  
 
Am I losing anything if I was in both clubs? 
No. Foiling remains an integral part of the program.  
 
The new BetterPress & Foil Club continues to support foiled designs, with the added flexibility of pressed impressions. 
 
Why is the Wax Seal Club ending? 
Based on member feedback and participation trends, the Wax Seal Club will conclude after the December 2025 shipmentThere will be no future charges    for this club after December. 
 
What is All Clubs Crate? 
All Clubs Crate is the new name for the Caboodle (Want It All) option. 
The updated name reflects what the subscription delivers: every monthly club,        plus exclusive products and premium member benefits. 

What’s included in All Clubs Crate starting January 2026? 
   
All Clubs Crate members will receive: 
  • All monthly club products 
  • A Crate-exclusive die or Press & Foil plate 
  • A coordinating paper pack (10 sheets, 8.5 x 11) 
  • A monthly bonus item 
  • Expanded benefits, including: 
    • 15% everyday discount 
    • One free-shipping coupon per month 
    • Early access to new releases 
    • Priority event registration 
    • Exclusive promotions 
Pricing remains unchanged. 
 
Do I need to do anything to keep my subscription? 
No action is required. Your subscription will transition automatically. 

Members whose clubs are ending or changing will still have access to the club area through January 5, so you can make any new selections before billing occurs.  
 
When do these changes take effect? 
  • Final shipments for BetterPress, Glimmer, and Wax Seal Clubs: December 2025 
  • New BetterPress & Foil Club and All Clubs Crate begin: January 2026 
  • January billing date: January 5, 2026 
Will pricing change? 
No. All club pricing will remain the same.
