Click to View Stampin’ Up! 2015-2016 Annual Catalog
I’m pretty excited because yesterday was
the start of new annual catalog for Stampin’ Up! (2015-2016 Annual Catalog).
Of course, there are a TON of stamps and other products that I love, but it can
be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start, right? So I’ve narrowed the list down to my top 10
favorite stamps based on their versatility or usability for every stamper,
beginner or veteran alike! Come back
tomorrow to see my top 10 list for non-stamp products in our catalog.
What new Stampin’ Up!
products are you anxious to get your hands on? Feel free to leave a
comment below…I love seeing what others think and why!
1. One Big
Meaning. I love having a stash of thank you notes on hand, not just
following birthdays and Christmas, but year round so I can drop notes in the mail
when my family or friends do thoughtful things (I’m blessed to be surrounded by
thoughtful people, I guess), so this variety of sizes, fonts and formality will
be wonderful to have on hand.

2. Me =
Grateful. I’m always looking for fun sentiments or words to put on my
artwork. Generic stamp images and punch
art sometimes need just the right phrase to change it from “just another flower
card” to just the perfect card for the occasion!

3. No Bones
about It. The versatility of this set is not from the theme, but
because it lends itself to perfectly to projects beyond cards….I can see school
projects, scrapbook pages, and party decorations & favors being made from
this stamp. I’ll be getting this one
ASAP to make a birthday card for my
nephew, who is crazy about dinosaurs right now.

4. Build a
Birthday. Everyone needs a good birthday set, don’t you agree? And what better set to have than one that
allows you to play around with the different images to create many looks with
one affordable set? This set could be
adapted to masculine or feminine cards, for recipients of all ages. Not to mention, it could be adapted to other
occasions as well.
5. Watercolor
Wings. Butterflies fall into the same category as flowers for me:
beautiful, easy, timeless and versatile. They can easily be made to fit
many occasions by just modifying the colors, sentiment and accessories. Not to mention, the exciting possibilities
that open up because they coordinate with Bold Butterfly Framelits (new)
and Butterflies Thinlit Dies, both on p. 172. Save 15% when you purchase
the Watercolor Wings stamp set and Bold Butterfly as a bundle!

6. Dots for Days
Background Stamp. You can never go wrong with the ease and versatility
of a background stamp. I love the whimsical
look created by the polka dots on this stamp, don’t you?

8. Watercolor
Wash Background Stamp. Two background stamps in the top 10? Yes!!!
I believe so strongly in the versatility of background stamps that I
typically buy every single one! In this
case, the watercolor image is so on-trend that it makes it a cinch to make
contemporary cards & other projects.
And if you’re like me, you kind of like the messy-perfect look – you want
the look of random but you want it to be just right – this is the solution!

9. Sprinkles of
Life. Want to do a little good while participating in your
hobby? Look no further than this
versatile set that has an irresistible coordinating punch! I love this set so much I’m planning a class
in June using this set. Also, a portion
of the proceeds benefit the Ronald McDonald House charity...not a bad deal!

And last, but certainly not least…
10. Best
Thoughts. This hostess stamp set features one beautiful, large floral image
(good for oh, so many occasions), one small sweet butterfly, and two beautifully
penned sentiments. The fun part about
this stamp set is that you’ll “just have to” place a large order OR host a
workshop to earn it…oh, darn shopping or girls night, what a shame! ;) Contact me for help with either and we’ll
work out a plan that works best for you!
