My Favorite Things – Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog

At the launch of each catalog, I love the opportunity to share my favorite things in the book. I normally jump a the opportunity to share my Favorite Things list as soon as the catalog launches, but I was unintentionally delayed this go round. But…it’s never too late, right?

If you want to take a stroll through all the new suites of products (and I know you do), CLICK HERE.  If you just want to dive in to the electronic version of the catalog, you can see it here:

Now, let’s jump into the things I really, really love from this new catalog.

MY FAVORITE THINGS

I always love the launch of a new catalog – what’s not to love about new designs of new craft supplies?! Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog is filled to the brim with all the amazing products you need for your Valentine’s Day, Spring and Easter projects this year! There are so many great, new products showcased in this new book – and the variety of products is out-of-this-world! I’m so excited I’ve been able to share so many of these new products with you – what fun! Hopefully this list of my favorite things will help you to shuffle your list or whittle it down a little bit – or it might inspire you to add some items you overlooked. 🙂 Either way, I’m happy to share my favorites from Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog with you. In today’s post, I’ll be sharing the following:

• My Favorite Suite
• My Favorite Bundles
• My Favorite Paper
• Other Favorites

I’ll be back tomorrow for the big reveal of some other fun categories!

My Favorite Suite

I love that Stampin’ Up! catalogs are divided into suites that give us everything we need to easily design and create projects. The stamps, dies/punches, papers, ribbons and embellishments all coordinate perfectly – and there’s nothing better than that!

There are so many wonderful suites in this new catalog, but I have to say my favorite suite in Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog is the Snail Mail Suite. To see all of the items in this adorable and wonderfully-coordinated suite, click on the picture below:

Here are all of the products included in this incredible suite:

Included in this Suite Collection are the following:

• Snailed It Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
• Snail Dies (10% off)
• Snail Mail Designer Series Paper
• Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack
• Resin Hearts Embellishments

Not only are the little snails and accessories in this bundle adorable, but the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper has stolen my heart. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper:

Here’s a card I made with several elements from this adorable suite (you can click on the image below to see the original post for this project):

My Favorite Bundles

Bundles are at the heart of all the things we love. We need the paper to go with the bundled stamp set/dies or stamp set/punch. We also love the 10% discount we receive for buying both of them at the same time. Yay!

Here are my favorite bundles from Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog:

Lots of Heart Bundle – #156202

There are so many bundles in the Mini Catalog that are perfect for Valentine’s Day and other expressions of love. I really, really love the Always in My Heart Bundle and Forever & Always Bundle that kick off the heart-themed suite of this catalog, but it’s the Lots of Heart Bundle that makes me happiest. Here’s a look at this bundle:

Here’s a project I shared with this bundle (you can click on the picture below to see the original post for this project):

Art Gallery Bundle – #156227

It would be difficult to showcase ANY list of favorites in this catalog without touching on items in the Fine Art Floral Suite – the paper, the embellishments, the embossing folder. I love the versatility of the beautiful images and sentiments in the Art Gallery Bundle that make it perfect for nearly any occasion. Here’s a look at the Art Gallery Bundle:

Here’s a quick tag I made with the flowers and dies in this Art Gallery Bundle (you can click on the picture below to see the original post for this project):

Vine Design Bundle – #156266

I love great sentiments, and I love amazing dies. It makes a lot of sense, then, that I adore the Vine Design Bundle – just look at those words and those incredible dies! Here’s a look at the Vine Design Bundle:

If you haven’t ordered this bundle, this you (obviously) missed these dies. I can’t wait to play with this set again – and I soon will. Here’s a project I made with this bundle – a card I shared to kick off 2021 (you can click on the picture below to see the original post for this project):

My Favorite Papers

If you’ve been following me for more than three days, then you know how much I love Designer Series Papers. They give us a great start for our projects and so much inspiration for our designs. There are SO MANY great papers in the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, but I have favorites.

True Love Designer Series Paper – #154281

I’m always inspired by the colors in Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers, but I really, really love a great back of black-and-white papers. The True Love Designer Series Paper is beautiful in black-and-white, but we can also add great color to the papers to transform them a bit. Here’s a look at this incredible pack of papers:

Well Suited Designer Series Paper – #154562

With all the gorgeous florals and soft patterns in the new Mini catalog, the masculine clothing-inspired patterns in the Well Suited Designer Series Paper makes me so happy. I love the blues and grays and pops of red. It’s the tie-in with men’s clothes, though, that’s so outstanding – there are paisleys, plaids and stripes. It’s grand! Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Well Suited Designer Series Paper:

Other Favorites

It’s really hard to pick favorites – especially when there are so many things I love. Maybe that’s why I’ve delayed my list of favorites for so long…

Here are some other favorites from this catalog that are worth a mention:

• Wrapped Bouquet Bundle – #156217
• In Bloom Bundle – #156208
• Sweet Strawberry Bundle – #156214
• Sweet Ice Cream Bundle – #156244
• Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper – #154558
• Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder – #154317
• Blending Brushes – #153611
• Love You Always Treat Boxes – #154285

I know, I know! It’s a lot – but there are so many things I had to shave out of my list. I hope I’ve confirmed your wish list – or helped you find something else you can’t live without.  🙂  What are your favorites? What did I leave out that you absolutely love?

Thanks for stopping by today!
