Ruth's Stamping Escape

Oh no, the Stocking Builder Punch is going away

It's official from SU! that the Stocking Builder Punch is NOT going to be in the new Idea Book and Catalog next year.  I'm heart broken.  You've seen just the tip of the iceberg on the many uses for this punch and the matching Stitched Stocking stamp set. 

SU! just announced that it is still available while supplies lasts.  I hope that means until January 3, 2012, when the current Holiday Mini Catalog retires but they are saying, "while supplies lasts." 

If you don't own them, now is the time to get them.  You can order directly from my website at www.stampwithruth.stampinup.net and click the 'shop now' button.  You will get the preferred pricing and remember that all orders of $150 or more qualify for hostess benefits of at least $25 in FREE merchandise. 

Click Here to view/shop the Holiday mini catalog in my online store...page 34 has the stocking punch and stamp set but look through the whole catalog while you're there because the last day to order from it is January 3, 2012.  Also, while you're there, check out the Clearance Rack.  There are some great savings there!  Don't forget about hostess benefits.  Contact your friends that like to stamp and put your order together to get even more benefits.

Here's another card my clubs made last month with the Stocking Builder Punch and Stitched Stockings stamp set.  The Silver Glimmer paper is also in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I LOVE that glimmer paper...all the dazzle of glitter without the mess.  Plus, did you know you can change the color of the silver glimmer paper?  Just take your Aqua Painter and a reinker color of your choice and paint the ink right onto the paper...viola...instant 40+ colors of glimmer paper.  LOVE IT.

Stitched Stockings gone Ice Skates

I know, it's time to think about Valentine's Day but I still have so many Christmas cards you haven't seen.  This is one I made at a stamp retreat a couple of weekends ago.  I fell in love with it when I saw it and had to make one too. 

This uses the Stitched Stockings stamp set and the Stocking Builder Punch.  They are both in the Holiday Mini, which goes away after January 3, 2012. The punch is also used to make the skate!  I love the Baja Breeze color and the Seam Binding ribbon just gives it that finished touch.  Well, so do the rhinestones...I love BLING.  The background is embossed with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. Warmest of Wishes stamp is the hostess set from the Holiday Mini

Holiday Stocking Die - Holiday Mini Catalog

It's HERE!!!  Just when you think that Stampin' Up! can't possibly top the Holiday Mini from last year, YEP, they went and did it again.  It is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!  It's full of fun new Halloween sets and Thanksgiving sets and stunning Christmas sets.  Then, they've got to-die-for Designer Series Papers for fall and the Holidays.  The accessories are OVER THE TOP.  Can you tell I'm excited about this mini?  It's glorious!

Click on the picture below or the mini catalog in the left sidebar to see the entire 43 glorious pages.  Scroll down to see the stocking box I made with the Big Shot Holiday Stocking die.  You may remember I posted that a while back as a teaser...now you can see how you can get the supplies too.  Enjoy.

Come back tomorrow to see a card I made with the Christmas Lodge stamp set.
