Buy one of the Big Shot dies that are part of the Deal of the Week. The 3 Tier Cake XL Bigz die is on sale for only $25.49.
If you don't have a Big Shot, how 'bout Wandering Words in the Holiday Mini? It's $25.95. I've seen some really great cards with this set. Check it out in the gallery.
I'm totally in love with Cold & Cuddly. That polar bear is so cute, as is that darn penguin and I think that ice slab holds a ton of possibilities - glitter, glossy accents, using it with different sets/animals. Love, love, LOVE that set!

What about the wonderful Medallion background stamp ($17.95, page 133 in the IBC) and either Elegant Thank You ($6.95, page 144 in the IBC) or Dasher ($8.95, page 208 in the IBC)? Enjoy your goodies!
oooooo, do you have the shimmer paints? I got all three and have been thrilled with them--add in a couple of single stamps from the mini, and you're ready for some holiday fun!
The ornament stamps and punch are lots of fun, but I'm also so addicted to any of the designer series papers. Having the perfect color coordination with my cardstock and inks just makes it all so easy Have fun at club!!
Depending on your budget and with the holidays right around the corner, my vote would be for Serene Snowflakes and that beautiful Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint along with some Soft Suede Cardstock and ink - I have seen some gorgeous holiday cards using a combination of these products
Usually when I have stamp club and don't have something specific in mind that I want, I take the opportunity to buy CS, ink refills, EP, glitter, designer paper or specialty CS. It's not as exciting as new stamps, but things that I am going to use anyway.

I vote for some embosslits (sweetest stem or hi - also, flower burst is half price, I just ordered that tonight) or textured paper. I also LOVE to get ribbon or buttons or brads when I have a smaller order. They are like getting candy when they arrive! There is something soooooo sweet about them. I also just got Ribbon Originals-Elementary and I'm LOVING those colors and textures. I'm also loving the shimmer paints.

My vote is the Specialty Paper, especially one called Bride. It is so beautiful and I have been brayering it with different colors and you would not believe how gorgeous it is. I also can not stop using the Polka Dot In color Grosgrain especially the Melon Mambo.

What do you mix the shimmer paint with to make it a spray? Or is it just the paint by itself.
OK, I ordered the large scallop die to make christmas gift card holders like one i saw online where she made the scallops look like ornaments, from dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com
I also ordered the large snowflake stamp that goes with the snowflake punch. Can't wait to get my order. Thanks for all the ideas.
Oh, the shimmer paint is amazing. I just sold 8 of them last night at a workshop just by showing off the spray! They proceeded to spray all three projects even though one of them really didn't benefit from shimmer : ) lol it was a boy card with the Sporting stamp set!
You just use 70% rubbing alcohol in a little spritzer bottle--fill it half full and add a half teaspoon of the shimmer paints. Shake really well every time you use it. It is STUNNING, absolutely the prettiest thing you've seen.
And because it is alcohol, it dries in seconds, and because it is paint, it won't rub off and get glitter all over the place.
You really need at least one!! I like them all but Champagne has been really popular.
What to buy, what to buy...
