My Favorite Things – Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2022 Mini Catalog

At the launch of each catalog, I love the opportunity to share my favorite things in the book. I normally jump at the opportunity to share my Favorite Things list as soon as the catalog launches, but I was unintentionally delayed this go round…perhaps I was having too much fun playing with the new items. 🙂 It’s never too late, though.

If you want to take a stroll through all the new suites of products (and I know you do), CLICK HERE.  If you want to learn about all of the Designer Series Paper, 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 2022 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 2022 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 – lots of Spring products and lots of flowers. Just when you think you are “all set” on flower sets, here comes Flowering Fields, a double-bundle collection of gorgeous products. You might flip right past it, certain you don’t need to look further, but please take another look. There’s a reason this suite is featured on the front cover of the catalog. To see all of the items in this beautiful 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:

• Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)
• Tulips Dies (10% off)
• Tulip Fields Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)
• Windmill Fields Dies (10% off)
• Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper
• Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Windowpane Check Ribbon
  
• Brushed Brass Butterflies
  

Not only are the images and accessories in this bundle beautiful, but the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is incredible – I love every single pattern. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper:

My Favorite Bundles

Bundles are at the heart of all the things we love. A stamp set is SO MUCH more appealing if there’s a set of dies or punch that coordinates with the images. 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 2022 Mini Catalog:

Rainbow of Happiness Bundle – #157727

There are so many bundles in the Mini Catalog that are perfect happy, Spring-themed products. The stamps and dies in the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle give us everything we need for an uplifting, supporting, happy card. Here’s a look at this bundle:

Here’s a little tag I made to accompany the catalogs I sent to my customers in December (you can click on the photo below to see my original post for this project):

My customers are loving this bundle, too – it is the most popular bundle with my customers in the first week of the catalog’s launch.

BONUS – Sale-a-Bration offers us a coordinating Designer Series Paper pack that is as popular as the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Rainbows & Sunshine 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

This paper can be earned with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, which runs through February 28. With the purchase of the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle, you are close to having earned the paper. Score!

Cactus Cuties Bundle – #158058

I love so many of the bundles that come with amazing dies, but I really, really love my punch bundles. There many not be as many options for cutting out images, but I love my punches. I’ve really fallen for the Cactus Cuties Bundle, which includes the Cactus Cuties photopolymer stamp set and Cactus Builder Punch. Here’s a look at this bundle:

Here’s a cute project I made with this bundle (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 2022 Mini Catalog, but I have favorites.

New Horizons 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – #157768

I’m always inspired by the colors in Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers, but I really love the watercolored images in the New Horizons 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. While many of the pages can be used to build beautiful landscapes, some are perfect for an abstract backdrop to any project. Here’s a look at this incredible pack of papers:

I used to pages from this paper to build this simple card (you can click on the image if you’d like to see my original post):

This pack of papers pairs perfectly with the On the Horizon Bundle – if you love the papers (like I do), then you’ll want to take a look at the elements of this bundle:

Other Favorites

It’s really hard to pick favorites – especially when there are so many things I love. Here are some other favorites from this catalog that are worth a mention:

• Happy & Heartfelt stamp set – #158005
• Amazing Thanks Dies – #157816
• Nuts & Bolts stamp set – #157650
• Cloud Punch – #157749

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!
