Page 126

Item Code 147172, 147173, 147174, 147175

For the Colour Collection Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill Bundles, the English catalogue lists the GBP price incorrectly at ₤37.75 each. The correct price is ₤33.75 each. The price in EUR is correct.

Page 179

Item Code 159161

The catalogue states the quantities of Design a Daydream 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Host Designer Series Paper as 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. This is incorrect. The correct quantities are 48 sheets: 4 each of 12 double sided designs.

Friday Faves from the New Annual Catalgue

Yes hello it's me again...   wow 4 days in a row!

So I have a little round up for you today... of some of my favourite things in the new Annual Catalogue... call it my Top 10 of  Suites, Bundles & Papers... or as it is Friday... my Friday Faves...

So not in any particular order... as all of these call to me for different reasons! Just click on the highlighted title or image to go straight to the product in the Online Store....

Field of Flowers stamps and punch bundle... I have been loving using this... particularly creating different backgrounds behind silhouette flowers... as seen here and here and here ...

And this bundle is the base of my first Class Kit in the Mail (s)... Click here for more details on the Kit... although I am re-making some of the cards today as I went a bit "ink pad mad" on the first take.... and costs for the various options can then be finalised!

Blossoms in Bloom stamps and dies bundle.... just arrived and I can't wait to get to play with this... as I have been loving every sample I have seen made and shared around the world... a true stunner! Just Google it if you're not sure! And I plan for this to be my July Class in the Mail... just email me by clicking here to register your interest... UK only

Forever Greenery Suite...  I think this will be the main seller worldwide... beautiful and versatile leaf and greenery images... what's not to love?

Peony Garden papers... I love the whole Suite... but particularly the papers... which have just arrived...

Lovely You and Lovely Labels Pick A Punch bundle... another biggest seller I reckon... Lovely greetings and images ... along with the most versatile of punches... two end shapes... 3 widths... and infinite length possibilities!

In Good Taste papers... probably the papers I will use the most over the year... so many wonderful textures and patterns for scene building... and male cards... Woods, tiles, bricks, textiles, plaster, marble etc

Boho Product Medley & Refill... Being honest the Product Medleys/Kits don't usually do it for me! But this one really appeals...

And I'm not the only one... as its popularity on launch meant immediate stock outs... the Product Medley is now available to ship... but we await delivery dates for the Refill Kit... but still orderable... just on back order at the moment... which means it auto-ships to you separately when it comes in...

Playful Pets Suite... so not me usually- as I am not exactly known for my creations including animals of any type! But I think  this is so cute! And I love that I can cover the dog and cat lovers in my life with the one suite!

Jar of Flowers with  Jar Punch bundle... so great to have jars with a punch this time round! Speed crafting... Does what it says on the... jar! But don't forget the co-ordinating  Mason Jar Domes...

Sending Sunshine... talk about a build a scene with a couple of stampings! Very me... with the stamp set just doing the scenery image I so love to do.. so watch this space as I would like to do Class Kit in the Mail with this little beauty... Just click here to email me and register your interest

And as I can't count today... here is an 11th for you... the essential Pattern Play Alphabet and numbers set of dies... been needing one of these for a very long time... and I particularly love that we have double dies for 4 of the vowels and key letters... a little detail that makes all the difference!

And another key little detail... thank you Stampin' Up for this new feature!! Nice one!

Yes you spotted it... the outline of each of the dies is "drawn" on the carrier sheet... so you know where to put them back - or if you have one temporarily missing (an essential in classes...) I have seen lots of theories going round about drawing round them... or even spray painting... but you don't need to after all!! The job is already done for you...

And if you are looking at the alphabet... don't miss the co-ordinating Playful Patterns stamp set...  only £10.25 when you buy the bundle... and with such versatile images for lots of  use... but more on that another day!

Coming very soon...

The new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue is live tomorrow... So lots more information for you tomorrow...

But in the meantime ... 

(1) Today is the last day to buy those retiring products... many of which are reduced... Click here for the Retiring Items section in the Online Store

(2) The Stampin' Up! system closes from 12 midnight tonight to 9 am Wednesday, 3rd June while the system updates to all the new items!

(3) Here are a couple of visuals of 2 promotions running in June...

Ooh... All those new bundles to choose from!  Click here to see all the bundles you can choose from.

And (4) for those of you already clutching your catalogue... and wanting to get your online order in straightaway at 9am launch to avoid those early door stock outs... Here is the link to my Online Store and remember to add Host Code TW6BW73N where prompted (for orders over £25 up to £150)... as I will then be sending you a gift! 

Note that this Host Code will change on 5th June as I will be closing off my order on that date... but that the current code can always be found at the top right hand side of this blog... look for the flash!

My Top Autumn Winter Catalogue Stamps & Bundles

So I am always asked the question of which are my favourite products in a new catalogue... by both my class ladies... and demos around the world... but I always struggle to come up with my Top 10 or so...

As not only do I have to take into account my own personal preferences ... but also... the most class-using worthy products... as well as technical challenge products so I can have a good play! (ie ones I can use differently to maybe how intended - or that scream a particular card fold/format to me) ... and the likes and dislikes of all my customers!! So yes... it is a very hard task!

But even more so with this Autumn Winter catalogue... as there are lots of really great products... but I seem to have "grouped" a few together in my own head for classes etc... which has upped the numbers overall!!

So to try to keep it simpler for me... I will first list my Top 10 Stamps & Bundles... and then I will move onto the Top 10 of Everything Else... or something like that... though yesterday's post will cover quite a few of those!!

So these are the products you can rely on seeing most of over the next few months or so! So if you would like me to do a Class in the Mail for any particular bundle/stamp... then please contact me by email by clicking here... and let me know...

So not in any particular order... my Top 10 Stamps & Bundles... Click on the title or product photo to go straight to the product in the Online Store for more information... or to order...

Buffalo Check. See Page 38. Available in clear and wood mount

Such a lovely background stamp... I have always loved a good check... so this was first in my basket to order... But do remember to use it on its back for best ink coverage and stamping quality!

Dashing Deer. See Page 9. Available in clear and wood mount

Beautiful stamps... beautiful dies... and can be used with so many background effects so we can get really creative... and spot those ornate corner dies too...

Winter Woods. See Page 27. Available in clear and wood mount

Loving all of my trees... so fabulous for all year round use... for so many occasions... and so many people... so you can't really go wrong...

And here is a simple card I made and shared earlier... click on the picture to go to the post...

And click to see the video to see more and for even more ideas...

Merry Christmas to All. See Page 5

Superb sentiments set... both the dies and the stamps... a true Christmas greeting basic...

Farmhouse Christmas. See Page 13

Particularly love the house and the fence in this bundle... and those stitched frames too... I think you will see a lot of this! And probably not just for Christmas.....

Homemade Kindness. See Page 31

Definitely THE stamp set that is making my head most go into creative overdrive! Funny how my mind works some times!! 

Totally quirky so you will love or loathe it... but seeing as I live in a farmhouse... with a cozy stove... it had to be bought... and yes I am SO happy about it!!! 

Oh and Class in the Post coming for this one!! Click here to register your interest by email...

Beautiful Blizzard. See Page 39

Love the images and greetings... but particularly love the dies which cuts all those snowflakes in one pass! Super... Though Precision Plate required for your Big Shot...

And here is a set of simple cards I made and shared earlier... click on the picture to go to the post...

Tags & Tidings. See Page 24

Brilliant! How many accents/tags would you like at one go!! Stamp all in one! Cut all in one! Use to decorate! Job done!

So Santa. See Page 23

Just love this cute set... not bought yet... so I am in need of an excuse!!!? Even though it is SO quirky...

Signs of Santa (part of Santas Workshop suite). See Page 19

Again... I haven't bought this set yet... and so am in need of a good excuse... but I think that this will be the most popular overall in this year's catalogue... so thought I should include it for you... and I am sure it will pop in a box to here at some point!!!

And this is an 11th... a hostess set... so not available to everyone... as you need to order (or host a party for) £150+ to get one... but I am going to cheat and include it! And please contact me by clicking here to see if we can find a Craft Spa Stampin' Club way to get you yours!

Hung With Care. See page 55
