Stampin’ Supplies List
It’s never easy narrowing the field down to my favorites And by no means does this wish list include everything I have already added to my “inventory!” However, in my opinion, these stamps and accessories stand out for beauty, simplicity, innovation and fun!
MY TOP 10 FAVORITE STAMPS SETS
1. Embellished Events (P. 40: Wood-Mount 126495 $28.95; Clear-Mount 126497, $20.95). If you like a clean and simple style with a touch of embellishing, this set is for you. Each image offers a perfect spot for brads, basic jewels or the new In Color Dahlias.
2. Flowering Flourishes (P. 121: Wood-Mount 126365 $24.95; Clear-Mount 126367, $17.95). Think rock and roll or “tap dancing” techniques. These pretty stems will be lovely accents on a card (layer with punched or die-cut flowers) or the corner of an envelope.
3. Papillon Potpourri (P. 115: Wood-Mount 123757 $18.95; Clear-Mount 123759, $14.95). Any stamp set that coordinates with a punch (Elegant Butterfly Punch) goes straight to my favorites list. This set is both pretty and polished.
4. Sweet Essentials (P. 140: Wood-Mount 126455 $19.95; Clear-Mount 126457, $14.95). This will be your “little black dress” for sentiments. Love the font and versatility.
5. Star Tree Single Stamp (126784, $9.95). Budget-friendly and works for both clean and simple and vintage. I’m envisioning it embossed in gold or silver. Stunning for the holidays.
6. Pleasant Poppies (P. 72 & P. 129: Wood-Mount 126480 $17.95; Clear-Mount 129499 $13.95). This background stamp promises the WOW factor when embossed, watercolored or used as a simple inked line image.
7. Tricky Treats (P. 28: Wood-Mount 126325 $18.95; Clear-Mount 126327 $14.95). EEEK! This new Stampin’ Up! set coordinates with our punches for quick and easy cards or Halloween treat labels!
8. Moving Forward (p. 209, inside back cover: Wood-Mount 126320 $19.95; Clear-Mount 126322 $14.95). For every stamp set sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Not only is this a good cause, it’s my absolute favorite for the kiddos. Can’t wait to tuck those flowers in the tricyle basket!
9. Sassy Salutations (p. 143: Wood-Mount 126705 $23.95, Clear-Mount 126707 $17.95). Make a bold statement with this lively group of images that cover so many occasions.
10. Lacy & Lovely (p. 99: Wood-Mount 122885 $24.95, Clear-Mount 122887 $17.95). Create a background of circles or keep it simple with a single punched element. These sophisticated circles work with Stampin’ Up! Circle Punches and offer three exquisite sentiments.
