What should I buy?

[twink62]

I have $35 for a SU workshop to spend. What do I get? Stamps, accessories? I have spent hours scouring the catalog and it is driving me nuts!

[jennik]

make a list, and then prioritize. I know easier said than done!!! ;) But I always have a list going, and just try and whittle it down a little bit at a time. Stamps are always a must have!!

Anything in the mini that starts soon? I have a workshop coming up too and am doing the same thing as you! But there are a couple sets in the mini I like.

I haven't even rec'd my mini.

No, but you can look at it online. Let me find you a link.

I try to get what is in the mini first because there is no guarantee things will find their way to the catalog in July. they have a die that makes individual snow flakes in a row in the mini and they are very delicate snowflakes. Loved them when I saw them. Also they have 3 new punches in the mini. Might want to think about that.

I tend to go for punches or any tools really when I have "free" money. I like to spend my money on pretty things rather than the must have essentials, hope I'm not the only one.

Thanks for the look. There are some lovely things in there, especially Deck the Halls DSP and Bells and Boughs.

Anything you need to make your Christmas cards? I always start thinking about what I might need for Christmas so I can have it when I actually get around to working on my Christmas card. Nothing like gearing up to make them and then realize that you need more stuff! I agree with the punches....you can use the same stamps over and over if you have fun accessories or punches to make them look different! Good luck....I always have a list of 20 things that I "need"! =)

I've just started playing with that Northern Frost die and those snowflakes are tons of fun.

They make the prettiest cards and tags paired with Blueberry Crisp DSP--that'd be $21.95 + 9.95, leaving you 3.10.

Hmmmm, that'd be just enough for some Sweet Treat cups, which would let you make snowflake shaker cards!

Anyway, if you'd like to see the snowflakes used with Blueberry Crisp (and some punch art), here's some of my ideas.

Good luck choosing--and let us know what you decide!

I you have to have it in by the end of August:

Welcome Christmas is a great stamp set that I am having a ton of fun with.
I am also loving Blush Blossom as a great vintage Christmas card color, and the crochet ribbon and antique brads.

If you have until Sept:
I think the Christmas Collage background stamp is a must have. I've also used Bells and Boughs a ton. The seam binding ribbon is a must. It is so soft, and it is beyond easy to tie. The glass glitter is also a real winner.
