Hello Stampers and Crafters its Rick filling in this week for your mid week inspiration. Today I am going to talk to you about my must have accessories from the new Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. I’m sure must of you have one by now, if not contact one of the design team members that’s a Demonstrator we would be glad to help you.
Okay so let’s get right into it! My top 10 accessories for the new holiday mini.
10. Tin Of Tags Project Kit #142011 Price: $22.00
Tags are a must-have for gift-giving and treat-taking. Add your own personal touch with handmade tags you make in minutes. Kit includes enough supplies for 30 tags, 3 each of 10 designs.
9. 6″ X 17″ (15.2 X 43.2 Cm) Gusseted Cellophane Bags #142001 Price: $9.00
Use these bags for treat or gift bags. Just pop the treat or gift into one of our shiny cellophane bags and add a stamped header. These bags are gusseted so they expand to hold more.
* 25 bags
* 6″ x 17″ (15.2 x 43.2 cm) when flat
* Food safe
I mean look how dressed up you can create your gift giving this year. How wonderful! I purchased them to make breads for some Holiday gift giving and I don’t even bake bread!
8. Copper Foil Sheets #142020 Price: $4.00
Make your own foil accents. Cut with punches or Big Shot. Foil on one side. Copper is a hot hot trend right now so I suggest you load up on this one since it’s such s great price point.
7. Halloween Night Enamel Dots #142025 Price: $4.00
Go dotty. Peel and stick these enamel dots all over your projects. I have already ordered three sets of these and it seems like I put another one on every order. So grab them before I buy them out. ?
* 96 dots
* 16 each of 3 colors: Old Olive, Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie
6. Mini Tassels #142024 Price: $7.50
Cotton yarn tassels tied with silver thread.
* 12 tassels * in Basic Black, & silver
These are so stinking cute they are so a must have.
Look how cute these tassels are on these projects. They are fabulous! I predict that the closer to Halloween and Fall activities we get these will sell out!
5. Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper #142029
Price: $5.00
At last–a no-mess way to add glitter accents! And the best part it’s Orange! This makes me so so happy. This paper is embedded with small pieces of glitter. Glitter won’t brush off or flake off so there’s no clean up.
* 2 sheets
* Pumpkin Pie
* 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
This will be another item that the closer we get to Halloween the quicker it will be gone. I did the same thing last year. I thought Oh I have plenty of time to get the black glimmer paper then I needed it for a workshop and it was on backorder, and then gone!
4. Now for #4 I have two must haves in this because they go hand in hand.
Pine Bough Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #141831
Price: $7.50
It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through the Big Shot, and out comes a cardstock frame with a bold textured design. The delicate design makes a beautiful frame for stamping.
And the second part of #4 must have is the….
Mini Pinecones #141990 Price: $7.50
Antiqued mini pinecones with copper finish. Perfect for accenting projects. You get 24 in a package and they are so cute.
3. Real Red 3/4″ (1.9 Cm) Stitched Edge Ribbon #141984 Price: $8.50
Ribbon lovers, we’ve got you covered! Ribbon is an easy way to add style to your projects. Tie it, loop it, wrap it, cut it. We have the styles you love in the colors you want.
* Real Red with white stitched edge
* 3/4″ (1.9 cm) wide
* 10 yards (9.1 m)
* 100% polyester
2. Candy Cane Lane Designer Washi Tape #141985. Price: $8.00
What’s to love about washi tape? Everything! The designs and colors. The versatility. The simplicity—just tear, tape, and transform. Go basic and use single strips as accents. Or step it up and combine strips to create custom backgrounds, decorations, and more. It’s an effortless way to add color to your projects.
* 5 rolls per package, 1 each of 5 designs
* 3 widths, 1 roll of each width: 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″ (1 cm, 1.3 cm, 1.6 cm)
It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through the Big Shot, and out comes cardstock with a bold textured design.
Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders take embossing to the next level, with deeper, more detailed impressions than standard embossing folders—great for card fronts and accents.
I can not say enough about this new style of embossing folder. It’s amazing!!!!! I have added the video from Stampin’ Up! On how to use it. It’s a little different then our normal embossing folders.
You will be seeing these products in more from must of our design in the upcoming weekly challenges so be watching for them. And remember if you would like to get your hands on them contact one of the demonstrators on the design team we would be glad to help you or answer any of your questions.

Hi everyone it’s Rick here today helping out. So I was asked to share a video with you lovely people. We are sharing with you little sneak peeks of the new Holiday catalog coming out very very soon. The catalog goes live to customers on September 1st. What better way to help you pick out some of your must haves with us showing you some of ours. I know you would rather see the card that I am going to show you today more than listening to me ramble on! So with out making you all wait any longer here’s my card.
This card makes me so happy. It reminds me of a bulletin board from my elementary school days. I had a teacher when I was in third or fourth grade that had a bulletin board that had these very same images on it. So when I saw the Spooky Fun Stamp set I had to have it. Add in the fact that it is a Bundle & Save there was no question that I had to have it.. I am just going to say that this stamp set my or may not be bundled with some awesome framelets, but to learn for sure you will have to wait until the catalog goes lives.
So you may be wondering how we got things early before the catalog is actually live. Well I am glad you ask, as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator we get to order new products a month before they go live. So if you would like to learn more about the perks of being a Demonstrator contact one of the design team members that are and we would love to talk to you about it.
Okay I promised you a video of how I created this card right? Well don’t worry it’s coming but first let me tell you about about my inspiration for this card. It all started with me remembering the bulliten board. From there I started thinking about being a kid during that time and what I loved most. I always loved the sun sets in the South during the Fall. I love Orange so that was a given that I would be using Pumpkin PIe in my card. So it just came about. I will tell you that it actually started out as a different card that you will have to go to my blog next week to check out. So with out any more rambling here’s the video tutorial that I posted earlier this week on my YouTube channel
Remember if you need anything please contact one of the Design team members, we would all be happy to help you with any thing. If you would like a catalog please contact one of us. Thanks for dropping bye and we will see you again soon.
