Hi, Stamper.

The 2024-2025 Annual catalog launches today May 1st! Here are my Annual Catalog Top Picks. These are the products I’m excited to get my hands on. Will this help you narrow down your wish list, or perhaps add a few more items you hadn’t considered?

Best Item for Beginners – Kits

Stampin’ Up! has really stepped up their game when it comes to Kits. They are now releasing 2 new kits a month (so be sure to check online!). They have a wide variety of kits – some for kids and some for adults, various occasions, some require stamping (and come with stamps, block and ink) and some do not. So, no matter age or skill level, there is a kit for any beginner (or an advanced stamper who loved to “step it up” with the kit pieces or just take it for travel).

Best Sentiment Stamp Set – Unbounded Love

This stamp set has combines classic print and beautifully scripted sentiments to add to any project. It includes sentiments for a wide variety of occasions, from “Happy Birthday” to “With Sympathy”, to “Feel Better Soon”, “Celebrate” and more, you’ll find the perfect words in this set. I can’t say enough about the the coordinating dies – they are super versatile and can be used on almost any card! Level up your crafting with some versatile label shapes!

Best Graphic Stamp Set – Layers of Beauty

If your looking for something both fun and easy to color, look no further than the Layers of Beauty bundle. This bundle comes with some beautiful rose stamps that would be beautiful water colored or colored with Stampin’ Blends. To make things even easier, this bundle comes with a set of masks that can be used to color the stamped images. The masks are notched, so you can line then up and numbered to help you add the colors in order. Use the blending brushes with the masks to apply color perfectly!

Best New Embellishments – 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots

What sets these resin dots apart is not just that they come in the new 2024-2026 In Colors, but they are sort of “flattened” on the top, making them thinner and easier to mail.

Best Designer Series Paper – Thoughtful Journey

I think the soft watercolor look of the Thoughful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous! The soft look of the flower and field scenes can be a soft subtle background or the main focus of your card – doing all the work for you!

Best Specialty Designer Series Paper – 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper

You won’t believe how much shimmer and shine there is in this paper – it’s like adding a sprinkle of magic to your cards. It has a shimmering, glittery finish that instantly adds glam and sparkle to your creations. It comes in the beautiful new 2024-2025 in colors and is great for card layers and/or die cut pieces. Add a touch of elegance to your project using this beautiful (yet durable) glimmer paper.

Best Die Bundle – Spotlight on Nature

The Spotlight on Nature bundle has some beautiful classic images and a beautiful script font, but I must say, my favorite part of this bundle is the dies! This bundle comes with 12 circle dies with various decorative edges that can be mixed and matched for endless possibilities. What a great bundle for just $52.00!
