  2. I love the new stocking punch with matching stamp set. So versatile!

  3. Great giveaway-My favorite has to be the spice cake DSP. But Simply scored and all the autumn/Halloweenand Christmas designs are fabulous!

  4. No need to enter me but here are a few of my favorite things…

    1. Spice Cake DSP (the best DSP since Urban Oasis, IMO)

    2. The Sounding Joy

    3. Simply Scored

  5. I’m loving the new Spice Cake DSP…love the colors, patterns, AND the matching fabrics. Also the “Gently Falling” stamp set. But “Simply Scored” gets my top vote.

  6. So much to love! Leaves of a Tree, Quilted Satin Ribbon, Gently Falling and the Mini Jingle Bells stand out to me. Yea this mini.

  7. This Mini is so full of fun things! I’m loving all the cool, creepy Halloween stuff!! The Spice cake papers and fabric is yummy too. Then there’s all the fun embellishments for Christmas, like the jingle bells…How’s a girls to choose?!

  11. I can’t wait to place my order and my favorite item right now is the large stocking die. A close second is the Spice Cake DSP–love the colors used. Have a great Labor Day Holiday.

  12. top of my wish list is the new simply scored scoring tool! laura j

  13. Can’t wait to see the whole card!! I know it will be beautiful!.
    Let me see…The Bigz Die Stocking is too cute and so versatile too. I also love the little Stocking Stamp Set and the coordinating punch, the Simply Scored Tool, New DSP, Ribbons, Stamp Sets, Quick Accents, Cellophane Bags,Decor Elements, Buttons, Boxes, Designer Fabrics, Designer 6×6 Album, Digital Downloads, Mica Flakes, Letter Press Plate,Textured Impression Folder, Stampin Card Keeper, Mini Jingle Bells, Stitched Felt, Pewter Embossing Powder,Punches, Shaker Flakes Glimmer Paper, Dazzling Details, Jumbo and Regular Wheels and the MDS Software. Yep that about does it… I like it all!

  14. Wow! Super sweet blog candy, thanks for the chance to win! So much beauty in the mini… especially the DSP!! You’re simply awesome!!

  15. What’s not to love about the holiday mini except that it draws my attention away from the spectacular SU Idea Book and Catalog. I can’t wait to play with the Stiched Stockings, and the coordinating punch and the Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die. What a cute way to decorate your office with a little stocking for each of your co-workers!

  16. I have to say that the Holiday Stocking die is great. I can see it getting a lot of use. Pair it with the Frost Lodge DSP and I think we have a winner!

  17. love your work. love blog candy. love the holiday mini.
    joan!!!

  18. Thanks for the chance to get some candy. That is always fun. I love the new quilted ribbon and the silver glitter paper. What a way to make the card shine.

  19. Beautiful card! I love the new stocking dies & the peek aboo frames die. Thx

  20. The quilted satin ribbon is a must for any holiday project. I would love to see more projects using the ribbon. The Spice Papers is growing on me. Thanks for sharing.

  21. I think I am in love with almost everything in the mini. I am really excited about the new score tool. I have used the scorpal,but this one one looks easier to use, especially with the spot markers. The paper is great too!

  22. I have a “thing” for leaves, so gently falling is a must have for me. I love The Sounding Joy. I’m a fan of the new glitter glue and I really like Leaves of a Tree even though everybody knows that all those leaves don’t grow on one tree. Thanks for your blog and for the chance to win the candy. You’re remarkable.

  23. Love all the new things in the Mini. It will all be so fun. Cannot wait to get the spice cake DSP.

  24. Hi Ann
    I have way too many favorites out of the mini but here are some:
    Christmas Lodge
    Snow Burst
    Always Thankful
    Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die
    Holly Berry DSP
    Stocking Builder Punch
    Stiched Stockings
    Mica Flakes

  25. How can one say what their favorite “item” is from a simply fabulous catalog?! I’m definitely loving the new Spice Cake paper, and love the Gently Falling stamp set too. My other favorite is the peek-a-boo die with the 25 and counting stamp set — can’t wait to complete something with that!

  26. Hi Ann, the colors from the new Spice Cake papers are perfect for fall and your card is lovely!

    The fall mini has an amazing bounty of new and exciting products, but I think my heart is most taken with the Christmas Lodge suite. Love that stamp set and the plaids in the coordinating dp. Gorgeous! The other thing I am most excited about is the new Simply Scored tool with its scoring at every 1/8″. I’ve missed that with the current tool I am using.

  27. I put in an order for the Spice cake DP on Thursday. After seeing your sneak peek I am so glad that I did. 🙂 I can hardly wait to see your card. Enjoy your weekend Ann.

  28. My favorite is Simply Scrappin’ Christmas Lane and red/green buttons.

  29. I think the little felt accessories are adorable!

  30. I’m in love with the Spice Cake DSP and coordinating buttons! It’s such a different but beautiful color combo!

  31. This Holiday Mini is great and that is what makes it hard to find a “favorite” item, but I LOVE the Spice Cake DSP and the Big buttons that go with it.
    Thank you for a chance at winning such a great giveaway.

  32. I love your card already! I think the Spice Cake DSP is gorgeous and is one of my favorites from the holiday mini. I also love the quilted and velvet ribbon, the mini jingle bells, It’s a Wrap stamp set, the Stocking and Peek a Boo Frames dies…so many things!

    Looking forward to seeing the rest of your card.

  33. I like the Stitched Stockings and Builder Punch for it. I also like the Sounding Joy…Holiday wrappers too. I bought so much of it and still want a few more items. Thanks for a chance to win holiday candy.

  34. oh! Yummy spice cake alert! I am in love with this paper! It is my favorite thing from the mini so far. I even ordered the matching fabric yesterday and I’m TERRIFIED of fabric! :o)

  35. My favorite stamp sets in the new mini are “Gently Falling” and “The Sounding Joy”. I’m also very curious about the Dazzling Details glitter glue and will probably have to give that a try. As always, too many things to list! LOL!!

  36. I’m lovin’ the DSP Frostwood Lodge, the stamp set Christmas Lodge and the Quilted Satin Ribbon. Thanks for a chance to win an awesome blog candy.

  37. The stocking punch and stamp set, so darn cute! I also love the dsp for christmas. So cute!!!!

  38. I like the stocking die, pewter ep, & embossing folder. There’s a bunch more lol. Thanks for all you do on your blog. It’s an inspiration.

  39. Woohoo, gotta love a chance at blog candy! My favorite item is the Warmest Wishes hostess set. Love it so much that I’m going to need to do my own book party since I just had a party 2 weeks ago. I just can’t pass up such a great set. But of course I don’t mind since there is always a HUGE wish list to choose from. Can’t wait to see your card reveal. Loving it already with the colors & the spice cake dsp.

  40. What a great peek – how many packages of the pearls do you use on a monthly basis! Just kidding – the pearls look pretty cool on this card so far!

    My favorite right now would be the socks with the coordinating punch. Ask me tmorrow and it might change after I see the full reveal!

    Hope Brody is mending well and cheering on his sister. Hope she knocks #1 out of running this weekend. Eat some wonderful Amana-style food for me!

  41. OMG! I am THRILLED that SU has come out with their very own scoring board! I LOVE IT!!!

    But to chose only a few favorites from the new mini is impossible! there are so many wonderful new products in the mini!
    Woohoo! Way to go Stampin’ Up!

  42. I really love the Spice Cake DSP; however, since I have 7 grandchildren and a new great grandson, I am loving the 25 and Counting stamp set as well as the other supplies to make Advent calendars this year for all of them! I can’t wait to get started.

  43. I love love love the new stocking punch and coordinating stamp set!!!

  44. Looks like a great card! I love the Spice papers and the new oval embossing folder. Looking forward to the reveal tomorrow.

  45. Since I reall love “Christmas”, its difficult to make a decision. Every time I look at the mini I want “more”. I have a “top 3” that includes “Christmas Lodge”, “Stitched Stockings/”Stocking Builder Punch” and that beautiful “You Are Loved” set that would be good for Valentine’s Day, a wedding or shower or “just because”.

  46. Hi Ann,

    Hope Brody is recovering comfortably.

    Some of my favorites from the Mini are:

    Stocking stamp set, punch, & die
    Holly Berry DSP
    Festive & Fun stamp set
    Mini Jingle Bells
    Shaker Circles

    Enjoy the long weekend.
