Love love love Stampin Up stuff, but even the sets go around a no come around if you've been buying from them for a long time. The current jar set looks very similar to the jar set I have from them from years ago. So save your old stash! Just like old clothing styles........they eventually come around again!
I like that several sets can be used with the dies and/or punch. Like the Jar of Love - a Christmas set and a Halloween set to go with it! Love the gingerbread punch and the 2 stamp sets that go with it. I have never been much to make Halloween cards, but I think this year that will change! Too Cute!
I have a LOT on my wishlist!! I think I need to take out a loan! LOL
I wish the Star of Light set was rubber... :(. Not a huge fan of polymer. Although it would be a lot pricier so maybe I will anyway. I love the images and dies
I saw the catalog at my demo's house. Not much I'm interested in. The jar set looks like it came from 1999. There are embellishments I like (sequins and baker's twine) but only 1 stamp set that I will consider ordering. There's still a lot from the regular catalog that is on my wish list.
I am going to have to be a lot more selective this year with the Bundles going for over $50.00. Stampin up is almost pricing themselves out what I want to spend.
There are a lot of great companies out there and I have been a very loyal SU customer.
I just bought a kit from Hero arts for 35.00 it came with a stamp set 6 matching dies some specialty paper, stickles and dew drops for $35.

Wow that is such a better deal! I agree that SU's prices are getting too high. And I pay Canadian so it's even worse... Makes one think.

I haven't looked too much at sneak peeks. This year I want to be surprised! I'm sure there is lots I would want but I can't really justify more Xmas purchases when I already have stuff I haven't really used. I agree prices are getting higher. It seems like other company's dies are (I admit I only shop a few places outside of SU) pretty much the same prices. It would be nice if SU ran a 15 or 20% off sale at least a couple times a year.

I agree. I'm staying away from parties and using what I have----LOTS!

I agree! I was shocked at the price of the bundles. I really want the new set that's only available for August. I'm willing to pay the $52.00 but I hqvent ordered yet. It might be gone by the time I get around to it!
This holiday catty is incredible. I won't be buying much as I'm to the point where I have enough!

My head is spinning with all the bundles in the holiday catalog from what I have seen so far! It's nuts!
I would sign up as a hobby demo if the minimum was less $$$. I don't want to feel that I have to buy something, anything just to make that. So I check out the clearance rack regularly and watch here for sales notices!

Vintage? Yes. There's an old fashioned Santa set. Another one has a beautiful train with a wreath on it.
Not sure what you are thinking when you say realistic.
Usually by now, SOMEONE shares a PDF file. C'mon, where are ya? Share please.
I have a feeling it is "not" to be found. If you get my meaning.
The prices are way to high here in Canada for me to purchase something for Christmas that is a short season. I have a lot of supplies already. I am going to try to stay away from purchasing anything. Wish me luck!
I got my Holiday catty in the mail today!
Yes, the prices are shocking so I will be trying to determine what I REALLY want and would use the most! I have a few stamps from years past that are similar to some in the catty (2001 DD Pinecones, for one) - so I cannot justify buying the newer ones and I do a lot of fussy cutting so I cannot let the dies sway my thinking!
I have to remind myself that "used" stamps or I should say retired stamps (even if they are NUM) do not sell. I've tried that! :( So I MUST be careful in my purchases.
