My Top Ten Picks

First Ten

OOOOO!!!! I can’t wait! The new catalog goes live TOMORROW June 4th at noon (MT)! Are you ready? I’ve been working away on my list and I hope you are too! I’m going to share with you the first ten things that I am going to order or have already ordered since I am a demonstrator. (There are select items that we can order early). I can’t show you photos of these items but I’ve listed the page numbers so that you can check them out starting at noon on Tuesday.

  1. The new In-Color ink pads. I always like to get my hands on these to play with them and check them out to see which are my favorites. (page 154)
  2. Packages of the new In-Color card stock for the same reason as number 1. (page 154)
  3. A Wish For Everything bundle. (page 17) This bundle is going to be so useful. It contains a double stamp set as well a a package of dies that cover lots of holidays and occasions. It’s similar to the Well Said bundle from the 2019 Occasions Catalog but has more to do with holidays.
  4. Rustic Retreat Stamp Set (page 49). This stamp set is all about the north woods. It was designed by Stampin’ Up!’s very first million dollar sales achiever, Mary Polcin. It has a rustic cabin (the reason I love it), pine trees, a couple of critters and some nice sentiments.
  5. Birch Background Stamp (page 156). This background stamp looks just like birch bark. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. It’s going to work perfectly with the Rustic Retreat Stamp Set in #4! I’ve even seen samples of it used on floral cards and it’s amazing!
  6. Over the Moon Stamp Set (page 32). It’s all about the cows! I’m not a cow person (although my friend Michelle is…) but I fell in love with this stamp set! This stamp set was actually one of the items we, as demonstrators were able to order early. I’ve made a couple of adorable cards with this set already. This stamp set is perfect for coloring as you can do as much or as little coloring on them as you’d like. Don’t worry….I’ll be sharing my samples with you soon! 😀
  7. All of the new colors of Stampin’ Blends (page 179). Stampin’ Up! has come out with 6 new colors of Stampin’ Blends and all of them will be on my first order! Four of these new sets of Blends are new In-Colors! How fun is that? The new colors of Blends are Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, So Saffron and Gray Granite. What great additions to the Stampin’ Blends family!
  8. New Ribbons (pages 174-175). I always like to have the new ribbons on hand when I’m creating. That way if I have an idea I can just grab the ribbon I want to go on the card I’m designing. If I counted correctly there are 14 new ribbons in the upcoming catalog. Good thing I’ve been saving up!
  9. New Designer Papers (pages 165-168). All of the designer papers in the new catalog are new designs. There are 14 of these too. At this time I’ll probably only purchase the designs that I really like. Designer Papers aren’t quite as versatile as ribbons. A few of my favorite patterns are Magnolia Lane, Perennial Essence (gorgeous watercolor patterns) and Noble Peacock.
  10. Stampin’ Up! Mini Shipping Boxes (page 172). OMG! These are SO stinkin’ cute! They look just like the boxes that UPS delivers to your home! They are little boxes (4″ x 3″ x 2 5/8″) with the Stampin’ Up! logo on them! I have no idea what I’m going to do with them but I do know that I HAVE to have them! Ha!

Of course my list is a lot longer than just these items. Luckily I already have a few of these items and I have some credits I’ll be able to use on this first order. The UPS driver is going to LOVE me! Ha! Oh….speaking of those fun little SU shipping boxes…there is a new stamp set that has a UPS (or any delivery service) driver in it called You Always Deliver (page 59). There are so fun sentiments in it too. Be sure to check it out.

As you can see from this post I could go on and on. Check out some of my favorites when I post the link to the catalog and then come up with your own list. I’d love to know what your favorites are!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
