The new Stampin' Up! catalog went live Friday, and I “had” to place
a BIG order, let me tell ya! As you can see by my huge wish list, I crossed off a lot, but there’s still plenty more to choose from.
Plus, you know it always changes throughout the year….And by that, I mean it keeps getting bigger!
So do you want to know my Top 5 “Must Haves” from the new Stampin' Up! catalog? (These don’t include the standard, "goes-without-saying" needs of the new In Colors ink, cardstock and markers.)
Top 5 "Must Haves"
1. RAZZLEBERRY SPLASH Simply Scrappin’ Kit (pg 168)
Anyone who knows me—especially since I’ve already told so many of you—knows that if Rich Razzleberry is involved, it’s a must have.
I don’t even have the kit in my hot little hands yet–it's on its way!!–but I set a date in August for the class revolving around it!
2. Essentials Paper Piercing Pack (& mat & tool, pg 181)
Yes, I cheated a little….How could I possibly put down one of these items and not the other 2?! So I guess my MUST HAVES are more than just 5….But we already knew that.
These new templates will be so cool! Did you see the mat is going to be bigger than a standard card? That will be so helpful.
3. Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons (pg 176)
Aren’t they gorgeous?! I can’t wait to try these out!
4. Apothecary Accents Framelits (pg 191)
I actually have these already! As a demonstrator I get
to pre-order select products. Here’s a card I made with them using Summer Starfruit, Elegant Eggplant, Baja Breeze, and a little Gumball Green.
5. Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (pg 134)
So if I need these, you know I already have to have (and do have) the Bitty Banners Framelits! There I go bending the rules again. These are adorable!
And the Framelits works well with Teeny Tiny Wishes, too. I love “more bang for my buck!”
So, TELL ME….What are YOUR Top 5 “Must Haves” from the new catalog?!
Check back tomorrow to see more I have to share, and if you don't want to miss out on ANYTHING, sign up for my newletter. When you do, you'll receive my "5 Tips for Making Fabulous Hand-Stamped Creations."

Great blog Stephanie! Someday I'm gonna be brave and start one too! 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement, Marcia! Glad you like it. I'm sure you'll do fine when you decide. Do you have a list of "Top 5 MUST HAVES?"
My "MUST HAVE" list is definitely more than 5, but the Elegant Butterfly Punch, the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack, the In Color Dahlias, the new stamp pads (really want the Gumball Green and Primrose Petals!), and then the stamp set called Christmas Blessings are all pretty high on my list! Gonna have to find a job soon just to support my stamping addiction!! 🙂 Still lovin your blog…thanks for keeping me motivated!
All your items are on my wish list, Marcia! Some are already on the way. (I love my UPS man!) Thanks for sharing!
My favorite 5 on my wish list are:
More Merry Messages
Cottage Window
For the birds
Lean on me
Teeny Tiny Wishes
I also like the ink and paper sets. That is going to be on my next order.
Nancy, I love More Merry Messages, too. We'll definitely be using it at my Christmas Stamp Camp!
Oh–And the birds are cute, too. I think Courtney H would like them since she loves the little guy in the Four Seasons hostess set.
Steph, I just received my first order from the new catalog. My top 5 were Papillion Potpourri, Pleasant Poppies, Elegant Butterfly punch, paper piercing pack and the pierce mat. I have a long wish list for the future.
Woo-hoo! I just saw mine are delivering today, too!! Have fun playing, Judi.
My favorites are:
Apothecary Accents Framelits,Elegant Butterfly punch (and of course at least one stamp set to go with it!), Pleasant Poppies,floral district paper set, and I need to update my color coach so I can play with more new colors!
Thanks for commenting, Mary Kay. A couple of your wishes just arrived for me today! I'll have to check out what Pleasant Poppies is. You're the 2nd one that mentioned it, but I don't remember it!
Oh, it's good. I could be talked into that background stamp. Hopefully, my downline Judi uses it on her next card swap with me!
see you on Saturday.

I have you down, Laura. Thanks!

Aww, Carol, you're so sweet! Thanks so much! I hope you can make it to my open house.
