My Favorite Suites
Why I love it: The 12"x12" paper is beautifully elegant and I adore the combination of Pretty Peacock and Blackberry Bliss. The Metallic Mesh Ribbon is "webby" and, along with the Black Glitter Paper, will add eye-catching sparkle. The Iridescent Pearls are listed as black, but in person they actually have several hues, depending on the angle you look at them. The dies in this suite are versatile, cutting 2 labels, a decorative edge lace piece, and an open flower and leaf, along with the bats and spider from its coordinating stamp set (check out the stunning label image)! I'm SO excited to make ornaments for my Halloween tree, treat holders, my annual Nugget cakes, and more! Check out the wrapped homemade soap sample on page 54!
Why I love it: Two words - Christmas elegance. I'm imagining gold embossed poinsettias on Very Vanilla cardstock, or poinsettias in Blushing Bride and So Saffron on the flocked Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. The Beaded Pearls make stunning flower centers AND you can color them with Stampin' Blends! The fonts and greetings are classic and in a beautiful script. Perfectly sized, they work for both the inside and outside of a card. The DIES - oh my! Being able to layer the poinsettia pieces has my mind going to table centerpieces, wreaths, tags, and ornaments! I am especially excited to make over-the-top tags this year with this suite!
Why I love it: Winter's my favorite season, so how could I NOT love the bazillion snowflakes in this suite? The stamp set is packed with them and I love the greetings with their mix of handwritten and typed fonts. There's even a "Happy Hanukkah" in the set, which has been a frequent plea of stampers! Make sure you check out the gorgeous label die, which cuts away snowflake shapes on the edges. How pretty would a greeting look framed with that? The Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper is what I've been die-cutting the snowflakes with and paired with the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems, they sparkle!
My Favorite Paper
Why I love it: It has a subtly brushed look, as if someone went lightly over it with a steel pad. That saves me from having to do it myself, because that's what I normally do with any foil paper lol! I'm imagining this embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder for gold snowflakes, or bronze and copper leaves cut with the Gathered Leaves dies. That would make a gorgeous garland or Thanksgiving centerpiece!
Why I love it: Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze, and gold foil. That's it! Stampin' Up! had me at those three.
Why I love it: This paper has classic Christmas designs and colors that will allow me to make simple and pretty cards. It will also be great for my holiday scrapbook pages. I'll be using the Pine Tree punch with this paper pack, too, as the patterns are sized smaller and will show up nicely in the punched tree. That would make a cute, but easy, gift tag - punch the tree from any of these papers, heat emboss a greeting, add a ribbon and you're done!
Why I love it: Anything I can add to a project that makes someone want to touch it is a favorite of mine. This velvet paper is definitely touchable. I love that it can be embossed with our folders, too (the sample card was embossed with the Little Details folder). Large red velvet snowflakes layered with smaller white ones? I like that idea!
My Favorite Embellishments
Why I love it: I was drawn to the natural color and embroidery details. When I opened the roll, I was amazed at how soft this ribbon is! It's the softest ribbon Stampin' Up! has carried that I can remember over the past 20 years. I will have no trouble using up this spool.
Why I love it: The flecks of gold in the clear and red gems have a light touch of sparkle that will look elegant. On my more "serious" projects, I don't want to add full-on glimmer paper but I still want that bit of shine. These gems will do the trick perfectly.

My Favorite Returning Favorites
Why I love it: It's classic fall with images I can use coloring techniques on. Rock 'N Roll with the leaf, or applying multiple colors with sponge daubers; coloring the pumpkins with Stampin' Blends; or how about quick watercolor washes? This bundle was
well-loved by me last fall and will be again. I used up all the fall paper from last year and I can't wait to use the Gilded Autumn paper and Brushed Metallic cardstock with this bundle this year.
Why I love it: It's a moose. Does anything more need to said? Okay - how about the Buffalo Check background stamp with the moose?
