The 2020 January-June Mini Catalog is overflowing with gorgeous new products! It
was very difficult to narrow down my wish list! I was able to get my
list down to the 10 stamp sets and bundles that are my absolute
favorites! The order of my Top Ten List is in the order that the stamp
sets and bundles appear in the catalog and not in any ranking order
because I love them all! Let's get started!
1. Heartfelt Bundle (Item #153775)
Valentine's Day is a great day to deliver treats and cards to everyone you know! The
Heartfelt Bundle makes it easy to find the right stamp and greeting for all of the people on your list, whether they are family, friends, coworkers, or community members. The Heartfelt Bundle includes two heart punches - one smaller heart and one larger, scalloped heart. The two heart punches can be layered together to create even more design possibilities.
My favorite stamp in the
Heartfelt Bundle is the "So lucky to have a friend like you" greeting stamp. To me, Valentine's Day, can be about all of the people in your life that you love.
2. Grace's Garden Bundle (Item #153789)
There are beautiful flower stamps and vine dies included in
Grace's Garden Bundle to create your own secret garden! Cut the gate die cut in half vertically to make your card interactive. The cat stamp is too cute to pass up! I imagine my own two cats basking in the sunlight by the flower beds.
Try stamping the flowers in a light ink such as Sahara Sand or Petal Pink and paint the stamped images with an aquapainter for a no-line watercolor technique.
3. Positive Thoughts Stamp Set (Item #151490)
The
Positive Thoughts stamp set is a sweet stamp set with images and greetings of encouragement and support for friends and family. It is nice to remind our loved ones that we are there for them in the good times and in the not so good times. The leaf image and the buttery shape reminds me of the retired Butterfly Basics stamp set. I loved Butterfly Basics!
Positive Thoughts is also reminiscent of a Nature notebook of treasures found on walks in the woods or in the open fields. I can see finding the leaves or feathers and pressing them between glass to preserve them. Plus, there is no need to fussy cut these stamped images! There is also a coordinating die set coming out in February! Yes, please!
4. My Meadow Stamp Set (Item #151650)
My Meadow is another of the faux watercolor stamp sets similar to Waterfront and Snow Front but with a spring and summer feel. The faux watercolor stamps make me feel like a true painter! My Meadow is also an excuse to use all of your ink pads to create vibrant fields of flowers and to experiment with the stamping off technique.
The tree stamps could become a row of cherry trees in bloom! My Meadow completes the seasonal cycle started with Waterfront - Waterfront is summery and autumnal, Snow Front is autumnal and winter-y, and My Meadow is spring-like, summery, autumnal, and winter-y (with the bare trees and the little circles stamps as snow falling). I am looking forward to sharing the projects that I have created with My Meadow at my Stamp of the Month Class.
5. Painted Poppies Bundle (Item #153827)
The
Painted Poppies Bundle is one part of a mega product suite, so technically #5 and #6 Peaceful Moments could be combined together in one, but they are both stellar bundles in their own right. So, I have listed them separately.
The Painted Poppies Bundle is suited for any occasion but especially for remembrance of servicemen and servicewomen whom have passed in the service of our country. I am thankful to see a stamp set that can also honor those that have served our country.
The dies for the Painted Poppies Bundle cut out the single poppy flower and leaf images as well as two label shapes, two swirly circle shapes, and a decorative border edge.
6. Peaceful Moments Bundle (Item #153824)
The
Peaceful Moments Bundle is the second half of the mega Painted Poppies Product Suite. The Peaceful Moments Bundle includes an all-greeting stamp set and dies to create the layered of the poppy flowers and leaves. The greetings also tie into the remembrance theme as well as additional occasions, such as birthdays, friendship, and congratulations.
The Peaceful Moments Bundle dies can be used to create more dimensional poppies and embellish the stamped images in the Painted Poppies stamp set. I think that the poppy flower in the upper right corner in the photo above would make a nice poppy remembrance pin for Memorial Day.
7. Honey Bee Bundle (Item #153792)
The bee is a symbol of hard work, industry, and community, to me. When I saw the
Honey Bee Bundle I knew I had to have it! Honey Bee is absolutely my style. I love the botanical, natural, textural, etc themed stamps.
The card on the left side of the photo above illustrates a sponging technique of adding more color to the outer edges of a stamp with a sponge dauber, giving the image a highlight or a glowing edge. First, stamp the image in the main ink color. Then sponge around the edge of the stamp with a darker ink color and stamp onto your paper.
The stamps are so striking! It also builds on the Nature's notebook theme of the Positive Thoughts stamp set, to me. LOVE IT!
8. Witty-Cisms Stamp Set (Item #151686)
The
Witty-cisms stamp set was inspired by Million Sales Achiever Lisa Fast. Once a demonstrator reaches one million in sales, Stampin' Up! works with the demonstrator and a stamp concept artist to design a stamp set. How amazing is that!? I love Lisa's word pun and image stamps! They are happy, fun, and bring a smile to my face. My favorite is the "Taco 'bout awesome!" stamp.
9. Timeless Tropical Bundle (Item #153811)
I picked the
Timeless Tropical Bundle as one of my top ten must haves from the 2020 January-June Mini Catalog because it reminds me of the vacations that I have been taking over the last several years with my friends and because it reminds me of Elvis in Hawaii.
The stamp set and dies are gorgeous! I love the vintage tropical feel to them. The stamped images has some shading already on the stamped images, making Timeless Tropical a perfect stamp set to practice shading with your Stampin' Blends. I am looking forward to creating many projects with the Timeless Tropical Bundle! I have some great ideas in store for you!
10. Outdoor Barbecue Stamp Set (Item #151553)
The
Outdoor Barbecue stamp set made it to my ten top must have list because my husband loves steak, hamburgers, and grilling! He grew up in Texas, so you know he is all about beef! I thought this would be a fun stamp set to create some birthday cards and decorations for my husband's birthday. I love the idea of making stamped steak tissue paper like in the gift bag sample in the photo above!
The greeting stamps are fun and silly, which is also my husband and my styles. If you have the Manly Moments Paper Pumpkin Kit stamp set, you could also use the masculine title stamps with Outdoor Barbecue. Mask the "a dad" part of "a dad like you is rare" with a sticky note and substitute husband, brother, etc.
