Big News! Stampin' Up! Stocking Builder Punch will NOT be offered

A couple of days ago Stampin' Up! announced it will not be carrying over the Stocking Builder Punch into the next Idea Book & Catalog. That means we only have until January 3, 2012 to order the exclusive stocking punch!

This is a first. Just last week I was telling a customer who has to pick between a couple of different Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog products that she could safely put off the Stocking Builder Punch because the punches always make the next Idea Book & Catalog.

Rewind the tape, the punches from mini catalogs may or not make the next Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. Thank goodness there is time to correct my misspoken advice. We have until January 3, 2012 to order the Stampin' Up! Stocking Builder Punch.

While they did not address the coordinating Stitched Stockings stamp set, I now fully expect it to not be offered again either. Being able to punch out all the different stockings, the top, heel and toe make the set so much fun to play with.

Sadly, I didn't begin to play with my Stitched Stockings stamp set nearly enough. Expecting two other 2011 Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog stamp sets to never been seen again, Christmas Lodge and The Sounding Joy, I made several different Christmas cards with both. Had a ball. I thought I had more time for my Stitched Stockings and Stocking Builder Punch to share with you. Sniff.

I believe I made three different projects with it, but two were exclusive for those on my mailing list when they were treated to my 12 Weeks of Christmas emails. So, because a promise is a promise, I cannot show those projects here. But, I did you use the Stitched Stockings and Stocking Builder Punch for one of my Fast & Fabulous Christmas Cards VIDEO Class. Click on Stitched Stockings to see that card.

If you, too, thought you could put off purchasing the Stocking Builder Punch until a later date, order it in my online store before it is gone forever!
