With May coming to a close and June right around the corner, it’s almost time for a brand new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! I love this time of year because the weather is getting warmer in Upstate NY and I get the chance to play with all new products. I am in love with the new stamp sets and the new 2019-2021 In Colors. I can’t wait to show you more about my favorite sets I’ve experimented with so far.

But before we can get there we must say goodbye to the products leaving us in a few short weeks. Some of these products I’ve had since my first order as a demonstrator and I’ve loved them for a few years. These have been some of my go-to sets for quick and easy birthday cards or swaps for events. I highly recommend grabbing these products while you still can!

It took me a while before I finally took the leap and purchased this stamp set. I ended up loving it and I think it’s a great stamp set for the summertime. Whether it’s a birthday card, pool party invitations, or a sweet treat on a hot summer day; this stamp set is great for a variety of crafts. I honestly wish I had bought it sooner so don’t be like me and grab it before it leaves!

Lemon Zest Clear-Mount Stamp Set [143808] $20.00
Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies [152323] $30.00 *

Tropical Chic was one of the first stamp sets I saw from this catalog and I absolutely needed it. This set will be carried over into the new catalog but the bundle will be discontinued. Save 10% and grab the bundle while you can! I used this set to make my swaps for the On Stage Local event in Atlantic City and I love how they turned out! The Designer Series Paper is also amazing and I highly recommend buying it to go with your new Tropical Chic bundle. There are some great patterns that are perfect for some home decor crafting projects this summer!

Tropical Chic Clear-Mount Bundle [148399] $44.00
Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″ DSP [146916] $11.00

This was the first bundle I ever purchased as a Demonstrator and it’s definitely a well loved set of mine! I loved building all kinds of critters for different cards and even managed to make a few holiday themed cards with this set. The sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthday set that I got from my first On Stage event. That set has been another well loved set of mine and it’s the first one I always grab when I need to whip up a cute birthday card real quick. I’ve also used this set in several other posts you can find here, here, and my personal favorite here.

Foxy Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set [141549] $27.00
Fox Builder Punch [141470] $18.00
Picture Perfect Birthday Photopolymer Stamp Set [145519] $17.00
Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [143231] $9.00

I’ve always been a fan of the cactus aesthetic and seeing Stampin’ Up! come out with a set featuring these spiky little dudes I couldn’t resist! I loved pairing them with the Waterfront stamp set for some really cool nature themed cards. They also look great with the Hardwood stamp, a favorite of mine when I need to add texture to a card. I’ll be sad to see them go but I definitely encourage you to purchase them while they’re still available!

Flowering Desert Photopolymer Stamp Set [148700] $16.00
Hardwood Clear-Mount Stamp [133035] $15.00
Linen Thread [104199] $5.00 *

With these products retiring next month I wanted to highlight some of my favorite from the past years. I recommend grabbing anything you’ve had your eye while it’s still available! These sets each hold a special space in my heart and I look forward to continuing their use for personal projects. I can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on the new catalog! There are so many new products coming that will blow your socks off. As always have a wonderful week and craft something special!
