I just love that so many of their stamp sets now have matching dies (especially for those cute little ladybugs in the Sweet Lady set!) Right behind that, though, is the new punch system. It will be so much more convenient than having a drawer full of punches, and easier on the wrist!
I just received the new punch system on Monday and love it. I was worried how it would punch, cause some punches are hard as heck to squeeze and go thru paper, but it punches like butter!
Here are my top five favs:
the new black/white striped ribbon from the Journey Girl collection, Jardin Paris stamp set (with birdcages), Animal Crackers stamp set (adorable baby animals), Annual Celebration sentiment stamp set and ALL the new piercing element dies to coordinate with current shapes!
I'm loving the Journey dies with perforations. I love the look, but totally stunk at piercing the little holes with a template. Now with these dies, everything looks so even and classy! Another thing I love (but also isn't new) is the adhesive tape runner. It glides on so smoothly with no waste. I've been using Tombow adhesives, which have been fine, but once I tried the FSJ one, I'll never go back. Finally, I can't wait till my order arrives - I can't wait to CASE the Stuck on You card on page 75.

I love all of the dies with matching perferation insets, too! I already loved the circles, ovals, squares and rectangles! But now, with the additional ones, like the clouds and stars, I am in my Happy Die Place lol
Now that peoples' orders are starting to arrive, what have you found as your absolute go to items? I got my first order and love that kitty that Karen showed above. I haven't received my second order yet, but I anticipate it will be here any day. What creations have you made? I'd love to see some!

I am still loving the new punch system! I will be replacing several of my existing large style punches with the cartridges. They are easy to store and transport, but more importantly, they are easy to punch with. It is wonderful not having to put as much effort into punching as I used to!
I am patiently waiting for Saturday, when a TON of the new dies are being released! I will be SO happy to have them to go with my Stamp Sets that I have already purchased. A few that I am especially looking forward to getting are Special Lady (ladybugs), Autumn Days (leaves), and Under the Sea!

Me too. I preordered several. I can't wait for the Dahlia Burst die set. It one of my top 5 go to stamp sets. :-)
Did you see they are available to order, and will ship Sept 3rd? They come with free access to online training videos, made by Richard himself. I am excited to see what I can do with all the mixed media products. What bundle is your favorite??
Pan Pastels, for sure, then the new storage items............... and I am in love with a lot of the new ATS stamps! I just made my 'first order' list - yikes!
The catalog is awesome but it is a shame that it can't be downloaded. Our internet service is awful and prone to outages so viewing on line is difficult. The catalog is huge and I keep having to go back and start over when the internet come back. I love the storage systems they will look awesome on my shelving units.
Cinco de Mayo bundle (goes great with SU's llama set)
Our Hero bundle
Gone Surfing
Heroes Unite
Creature Comforts bundle
Let's Hula bundle
Find Joy
And that's not even half of what I liked. Didn't even look closely at the coloring options. I've just got too many already, plus, more importantly, I can't color! lol
The actual catalog! It will be in my hot little hands tomorrow But from what I have seen... I am super excited for the storage, the pan pastels, the color burst pencils (and the color splash too!) just to name a few
"Storage"? They have storage? Uh oh, I might be in trouble. So many great storage stuff does not ship to Hawaii.
What are some Favorites from the New Fun Stampers Journey catalog?
