Tulip Stampin' Up! Catalog Favorites by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty Blog
MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY CATALOG STAMP SETS

1.  Peaceful Pines (p. 17) – Becomes your little “holiday tree factory,” especially when purchased as a bundle (save 15%) with the Perfect Pines Framelits Dies.  Check out the tree sample below to see all of the different capabilities for the dies.  Watch this Peaceful Pines Stampin’ Up! Video.

2.  Dove of Peace (p. 20) – The beauty of this stamp set isn’t just in the incredible desire to color it (watercoloring or markers).  It’s the ability to use the dove beyond the Christmas season.  Consider wedding, anniversary or sympathy cards.  You can (carefully) cut this single stamp to separate the sentiment from the dove.

3.  Flurry of Wishes (p. 25) – Let it snow!  I love the classic snowflake images and festive sentiments.  Bundle with the new  coordinating Snow Flurry Punch and save 15%. BONUS:  The top left snowflake in the image below coordinates with the Flower Medallion Punch.

4.  Versatile Christmas (p. 26) – For those of us who like both “outies” and “innies,” this holiday sentiment stamp set offers coordinating stamps for the outside and inside of your cards.

5.  Snow Place (p. 33) –  Penguins and Snowmen and Top Hats, Oh My!  These dapper dudes will charm you with their smiles as well as “costume changes.”  Bundle up and save 15% when purchased with the coordinating Snow Friends Framelits Dies.

6.  Lighthearted Leaves (p. 44) –  A modern vibe with year round versatility.  Meets the hot trend to color all those little spaces.  Pairs up with the Leaflets Framelits Dies.

7.  Howl-o-ween Treat (p. 49) –  Who can resist the magic of these bewitching images that coordinate with the Boo to You Framelits Dies for quick and precise cropping!  Buy they together and save 15%!  Plenty of paper crafting tricks and treat making ahead!

8.  Embellished Ornaments (p. 15) – Simply stunning.  These coordinating stamps and dies will captivate you with their fine details.  The intricate ornament dies are drop dead gorgeous when cropped in gold, silver or the new Red Foil Sheets (139607)!  Bundle and save 15% when you purchase the stamps and dies together.  For best results, use with the new Precision Plate.  Stampin’ Up! Precision Plate video.  Another video with tips for the Precision Plate video.

9.  Kit:  Oh What Fun Tag Project Kit (p. 5) – I plan to get family and friends together to enjoy the experience of paper crafting with this kit.  No tv’s, iPhones or tablets allowed!  Coordinates with the Oh, What Fun stamp set!  See it in action with this Stampin’ Up! Video!

DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

10.  Home for Christmas (p. 9) – Nostalgic and steeped in tradition.  This one makes me want to drink hot chocolate and play “White Christmas.”

15.  Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies (p. 12) – I predict these classy dies will be one of the most popular items in the catalog.  Love those curves and wee pop-ups of houses, sleigh and tree.  Ah yes, save 15% when you buy the dies with the coordinating Jingle All the Way stamp set!  Ho ho ho!  Watch this Stampin’ Up! video.

  1. Hi Mary,
    I just wanted to ask if Stampinup still sells Clear Envelopes 102619?
    I love to use them on my cards.
    Thanks,
    Terri

  2. Oh, Robbye. I feel your pain. However, I think you can narrow your list by looking at bundles and/or products that work year round or at least run the distance of Halloween, autumn and winter/Christmas holidays! Good luck!

  3. So happy to see this fine tip glue product. It will alleviate a lot of fuss when gluing die cuts, I hope! Do you know if it dries a matte finish?

  4. There’s a lot there . . . I totally agree, Miss Lora. Part of that is due to all money saving bundles in this catalog (it’s loaded). I don’t want to leave the 15% off the table!

  5. Mary, you are so funny. ON your favorite things list it looks like you almost have everything on it that’s in the catalog. Just kidding.

    There is a ton of very pretty items in the catalog.

    • I find it makes a big difference to have something with a little “give” (desk blotter or piercing mat) below what you are stamping, especially with solid images and photopolymer stamps. Also, be sure your ink pads are nice and juicy. If the problem persists, it’s possible there is a defect. However, practice a few times on different surfaces. I’ll bet you find a solution!

    • Good question, Carol. It’s neither at this point. However, I’m encouraging people to order quickly because this catalog and products are going to do very well and a back order situation can and will likely result. That can be very frustrating. Stampin’ Up! can only predict “demand” to the best of their ability.

  6. I use my Stampin’ Mist. Perhaps I would get better results with something else. Any suggestions? The bottom line is that these archival inks stain my photopolymer stamps. Haven’t used them with red rubber yet. The staining doesn’t bother me (makes them easier to find if they go astray and even easier to see when stamping).

  7. It’s always nice to see what you have chosen as your favorites. There are so many inspiring items in this catalog. Wish I had a money tree in the backyard so I could buy it all!!
