It’s here, it’s here!! The Occasions Catalog is always my favorite Stampin’ Up! catalog of the year. I think it’s because it comes at a time that I’m ready for spring to be here and it’s full of bright fun colors to push away the winter doldrums.
So without further ado, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a comfy chair and look through the new Occasions catalog with me!
In the video I’ll tell you my favorites (and my not-so-favorites), point out things you might miss and show you some cards my daughter and I have already made with new products. Watch Now!

Hi Jessica, we are in our new house now. Can you please update my address?
Yes, I have updated your address in my records. Thank you & Happy New House!
Just watched your video trip through the occasions catalog. Surprised at how many things I had missed just because I didn’t care for suite at first look. Now I have to go back and look more carefully. Appreciate your honesty. Thanks
Thank you Phyllis. It’s amazing how much you miss if you don’t look at the fine print! 🙂
Thanks for walking us through the Occasions catalog, Jessica. Lots of neat, new items available. Will definitely have to order the box template. Also like the small cards and envelopes that fit inside. What a fun little gift!
I always warn my folks to look carefully. I think they try to put too much in one shot – easy to miss items. I made a list of items I haven’t ordered that you make me feel I should have! 🙂 The ink spots I’ve heard so many say deserve a place in our stash for easy use in some instances. I did get the Birthday Wit, as so many friends will appreciate the …FREE stamp. Our tastes are so similar! Soiree paper and boxes – enough. I did get both kits, but I don’t like the “made with a kit look” of the punchouts. I added the Tinsel from the Painted with Love set – love it. Got sold with the Christmas ones. Did get the box dies, but not the bundle. Haven’t tried the Brusho yet. You convinced me on the stamp set for stained glass look, although I need to relook at what I have that would do the same thing. I Tuitti-Fruttid also, but not the stamps – hope I’m not worry. How could you pass up the daffodils? And the Rainbow??? I made a st of swap cards using that set. Do the dies for Myths cut out the images on the paper like the cat punch did? I’m not into that bundle at all. Barn door – yes. Eager to try it out and see what else might work. Dad punch – never have too many label punches, and I love the paper. Apron bundle. Congrats stamps. LOVE the new Heartfelt Blooms. Thought I had a loser when I looked at it, but what an amazing stamp that is! Using it for card class this month. FREE I have all but the sneakers (yuk) and the peacock. Will stock up on some of the others – great choices, I think. Thanks for the walk-through!
Well I had to pass up something, I don’t have time to use it all!! Rainbows are fun but seem a bit putzy to me. I don’t think the framelits cut out the Myths & Magic paper. Surely it would say in the catalog if they did. Funny, because the Epic Celebrations stamp set with the shoes is our most used “freebie” set so far! Always love to hear your thoughts on the catalogs too Rachel.
Oops! I have one already! Just checked the name of catalog. Sorry!

I love the catalog ‘walk-throughs’..so nice to see different perspectives on items, although your thoughts are very similar to mine on what I like/don’t like. I totally agree with what you said about the tiny Framelits Dies (Picnic Basket p. 6), but I love the cute Fruit Basket ones (your tags were so cute!). Also, I’m one to pass on the Brusho for sure. I think the Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes are worth a mention ($7, #145632,pg. 33)..a little pricey, but so little effort for a quick ‘big effect’. “I, for one, do not love to color” = me.
I love the waterfront stamp set. I see so many uses in cards and in scrapbooking. I love that it can be any season and you can customize your scene to be almost any place.
