Want to Be Featured? Join Our Fall Reseller Spotlight
We’re gearing up for a strong sales push in the fall and winter, and we want to spotlight you. This season, we’ll be featuring select StumpCraft resellers on our social media and marketing platforms. It’s a great opportunity to drive awareness and boost traffic to your store ahead of the busiest time of year.
Interested in being highlighted?
Please let us know by sending an email to wholesale@stumpcraft.com with a few high-quality photos of your shop and your StumpCraft display, along with a brief description of your store, by August 15. We’ll take care of the rest!
Holiday Restock Reminder – Order Early!
To ensure you're fully stocked for the holidays, we strongly recommend that you begin planning and submitting your restock orders as soon as possible.
Wholesale holiday POs must be submitted by October 15 to guarantee fulfillment.
You can also submit a larger PO now and draw down on it gradually—a great option if you’d like to secure product but stagger delivery.
Upcoming Wholesale Price Adjustment - Effective July 4th, 2025
As we continue to invest in premium materials, local craftsmanship, and artist partnerships, we want to let you know that a small adjustment to our wholesale pricing will go into effect on July 4th.
This change will apply to our Small and Large puzzles only. Mini puzzles will remain at their current wholesale pricing.
We’ve made every effort to keep this increase modest and thoughtful. The change reflects rising production and shipping costs and ensures we can continue to offer you exceptional products that are locally made and beautifully designed.
To take advantage of current pricing, you’re welcome to place an order before July 4th.
Please keep an eye on your inbox for an updated line sheet and let us know if there’s anything we can do to support your transition.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for sharing our puzzles with your customers—we’re grateful to work alongside you.

Prismatic Peaks (Waterton Lakes) by Ruolin Shi
|
Calgary-based artist Ruolin Shi returns with a stunning new puzzle inspired by Waterton Lakes National Park, following the success of her Emerald Lake design. In this latest work, she brings her signature vibrancy and contemporary style to Paahtómahksikimi (The Inner Sacred Lake of the Blackfoot), with a nod to the iconic Prince of Wales Hotel. A bright and heartfelt tribute to Alberta’s wild beauty. |

Something Good Waits by Cindy Revell
|
Cindy Revell’s Something Good Waits invites puzzlers into a richly detailed country garden filled with charm and quiet magic. Known for her vividly coloured oil paintings and folk-art style, Cindy brings this pastoral scene to life with over 25 unique whimsy pieces—including vegetables, flowers, garden tools, and curious creatures. Three hidden fairies, each inspired by floral motifs, add an extra touch of enchantment. Raised on a farm in Carrot River, Saskatchewan, Cindy’s work celebrates nature, imagination, and the joy of discovery—one piece at a time. |

Woodland Watcher by Kourtney Hope
|
Our Great Horned Owl puzzle embodies the quiet stillness and profound mystery of the night. The design aims to evoke a sense of silent, powerful presence while also honouring the owl's role as an apex predator: a bird of prey most active when the world sleeps. The owl's intense gaze invites us to consider the owl's nocturnal prey, perhaps a mouse scurrying for safety in the grass. The 60 pieces are a nod to the owl's impressive flight speed in km/h. |
Curiosity Is King by Shana Patry
|
The Blue Jay, with its boisterous chatter and active foraging, embodies the vibrancy of daylight hours. The design leans into the Blue Jay's playful curious nature (note the question mark locks) and its role as an "ecosystem engineer" and "planting builder." We also wanted to capture the collaborative spirit of blue jays, with two blue jay whimsies symbolizing courtship, as well as their joint feeding and nest-building efforts. |
|
The ruby-throated hummingbird, a creature of vibrant activity, perfectly represents the fleeting, in-between transition moments at dawn. With its 53 pieces, matching the astonishing number of times hummingbird wings beat per second, this puzzle is designed to convey movement both in long-distance migratory patterns as well as short flits between bird feeders and flowers. |
Upcoming Releases
The dates below represent our best estimate of when these new puzzles will be available. Release dates are carefully considered, but sometimes, the creative journey takes unexpected turns.

If delays are expected, we will let you know.

Bridge Across Fraser River by Darlene Kulig
|
Darlene's distinct style is perfectly suited to puzzle media and has been featured in many cardboard puzzles, as well as hand cut wooden puzzles by Toronto legend Puzzled by Paul Puzzles. Bridge Across Fraser River depicts one of many glorious views in Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park in BC, as seen from the Rocky Mountaineer "First Passage West" rail route. |
