I just got to see the new Holiday mini catalog and collection today (another awesome perk of being a demonstrator) and all I can say is "WOW!" There are so many fabulous papers, ornament kits, ribbons, and stamp sets in there. You are going to love it. The Holiday mini also contains the new Big Shot and corresponding cutting dies. About 7 of the dies are Stampin' UP! exclusives, and the rest are regular Sizzix offerings. If you own a Cuttlebug machine the regular Sizzix dies (except the Bigz XL) are supposed to work in the Cuttlebug. You only use the two B plates as your sandwich -one on top and one on the bottom. You will probably experience some serious creaking sounds when you do this, but if your plates are not warped from repeated use in the Cuttlebug, they shouldn't break. I am not making a guarantee on this, but this is what I have read.
Now onto the ornament kits that Stampin' UP! is offering in the Holiday mini (click on the pictures above to see them in more detail). There are three ornament kits: one for chipboard ornaments, one for paper ornaments and then a collection of felt snowflakes. There are several pieces in each kit, and each kit ranges from $13- $14 for the felt snowflakes to $26 for the chipboard kit. Each kit contains enough pieces for them to be broken up into 3rds and you would still get a lot of pieces. So I am going to offer my customers a combo pack of chipboard, paper, and felt ornaments for a very reasonable price.
Here are the details:
On Board Trinkets:
Contains: 6 each of 4 different styles of large ornaments, 2 each of 5 words (hope, peace, joy, believe, and love), and then a variety of stars. Each chipboard piece has a matching die cut designer piece of paper that goes with it to cover the front and back.
If you order my combo ornament kit you will get the following pieces: 2 each of the large ornament styles, 3 words, and then some of the small star pieces. You would get the patterned paper that you would then adhere to the chipboard pieces. These would also look great with a little glitter on them too. Price for these pieces is $8.30
Star Bright Paper ornament kit:
this kit contains enough paper pieces for 54 stars, 6 paper strip globes, and approx. 6 paper circle globes, 30 feet of silver cord, and 12 brads (for the paper strip globes).
If you order my combo ornament kit you would get the following pieces: 18 stars, 2 paper strip globes, and 2 paper circle globes, 10 feet of silver cord and 4 brads. Price for these pieces is $6.60.
Felt Snowflake kits: (these felt snowflakes would make a great garland, easy wire earrings, and a wonderful stick pin combined with our Pretties kits pearls, clear beads, and hat pins)
Large felt flurries: contains 27 large snowflakes in white, red, and baja breeze.
As part of the kit you would get 9 pieces in assorted colors. Cost: $4.66
Small felt flurries: contains 69 pieces in white, red and baja breeze.
As part of the kit you would get 23 pieces in assorted colors. Cost: $4.33
So if you get my combo kit you would have numerous ornaments and a variety of each kind. Total cost for the kit is $20 plus a $6.50 shipping and handling fee (for my time to divide them up, package them for shipping and ship them to you). That is $26.50 for a kit of 64 ornaments all ready for you to glue and embellish with glitter to your hearts content.
PLEASE NOTE: my cost breakdown for the different ornament kits that are in the mini catalog are based on the cost of the kits in the mini without shipping and handling that SU! charges. With my demonstrator discount, I only pay that amount in the end. I am passing that savings on to you. You will only be paying for the shipping to you after I divide the kits up. Any questions please contact me.
I suggest you also order some silver elastic cord for hanging your ornaments at $4.95 for 15 yards.
These products won't be available to order until October 1st, which is when the mini catalog goes into effect. I will take preorders and payments for the ornament assortment kits until September 28th. Orders will go in on October 1st and I will have them in the mail by the end of October for you. That should give you enough time to assemble them for holiday decorating after Thanksgiving. Email me with your order at stampin.chick@gmail.com
I need to get at least 3 people to order this assortment kit to be able to place an order and cover the cost of the kits. So I will post sign ups here for each round of kits. I will not make up an assortment pack unless I have all three people signed up and payment before Oct. 1st.

These ornaments would make a great kid's project, a festive gift to decorate a college dorm room, a great start on ornaments for a young adult just starting out on their own and decorating their own tree for the first time, or as a pretty addition to your own tree. The ornaments would also be wonderful as a pretty decoration on your Christmas presents and gift bags. Classic colors in these kits would blend well with most Christmas color schemes.
