2024 January – April Stampin’ Up! Catalog Favorites

Cutest Cows

When I saw this bundle it jumped to #1 on my list.  I'm so excited to make cow cards, farm scenery cards.  I can see this card working for so many fancy folds as well as super simple.

With this being a punch bundle the price point is great too.

If you love cows or farms this one should be on your list.

Enduring Beauty

Finally!  Stampin' Up! has a layering stencil set.  I used this bundle to make a swap and got lots of use with it. The stencils are quick and easy to use to add color to the beautiful flower arrangement.

The flower stamp is gorgeous.  You'll have lots of different ways to add color or just stamp it plain.  Having those stencils in your back pocket is just the best bonus.

Trusty Tools

I love all the graphic stamps along with the phrases.  The font is perfect for guy cards.  This will be a go-to bundle of mine long after it retires.

One question I get all the time is “how do you make a guy card?”  Grab this bundle and you'll never have to ask again!

PRO TIP – be sure to grab the coordinating designer sereis paper while supplies last from the Sale-a-Bration products.

Excellent Eggs

I'm so happy to have a cute and versatile Easter bundle to create with.

Since an egg is just an oval I can see lots of other occasions to use the dies in this bundle.

Bee My Valentine

While I love this bundle – it was the font that got me first.  I wish that Valentine wasn't in the title.  If you grab this later in the catalog you'll still be super happy.  There's no limit to the cards you can make especially with so many awesome greetings.

Even if it's after February 14 when you're shopping keep this on your list!

Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder Bundle

This was another must-have as soon as I saw it.  Of course you need the amazing new Brayer too – but if you already have one in your stash you're all set.

I couldn't believe how many greetings were packed into this one folder.  And I truly love how elegant the font is.  It's very different from most of my collection and gives me a chance to dip my toe into some different card styles while still making quick & easy cards.

Everyday Details Dies

These dies are part of a bundle, but I wasn't too keen on the stamps.  You can see my review of the catalog here and I point out how much I'm excited to get to use the dies, but at the same time not really interested in investing in the stamps.

I think these polka-dot dies are right up my alley and will pair with almost every greeting stamp I have to step them up a knotch.

Layered Floras 3D Folder

This too is elegance in a square package.  When you see how gorgeous your card stock looks after you use this folder you won't be able to stop.  Again, this is just one of those folders that can steal the show.  You'll love how quick cards come together with this folder because once your emboss your card stock all you need to do is add a greeting and pop it in the mail!

Mini Alphabet Dies

These dies offer you a unique chance to personalize cards, create a greeting that you might not have, or dabble with some greeting techniques.  These dies are not part of a bundle because they go with almost every stamp set and paper you have.

Watch for a post where I make cards for the whole year with these dies!

Thoughtful Expressions Dies

This is another set of dies that's part of a bundle.  Again, not too excited about the stamps – but these dies are such a great staple to add to your stash.  The variety of sizes makes it another go-to- when you need to layer a greeting and you want to mat to coordinate.

Peacock & Gold Ribbon

This is a great addition to your ribbon collection, especially if you're a big fan of Pretty Peacock.  This color coordinates with so many other colors that I know you'll use this spool up in no time.

Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots

I don't have a lot of pastel colored embellishments so I'm super happy to add these to my stash.  You know how much I love Adhesive Backed anything so this was a natural to be on this list.

Baker's Twine Three Color Pack

Who doesn't love having Baker's Twine in new colors?  These colors also coordinate with the Rainbow Dots above which is a pleasant bonus.

Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon

I am going to miss the h**l out of this color when it retires this spring.  I'm so happy to have a cute, skinny ribbon to decorate my cards for the next few months before we have to say goodbye.
