Check out these projects featuring Clearance Rack deals

There are quite a few amazing deals on the Clearance Rack now and I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorites:  

First is the beautiful Splendid Thoughts stamp set for just $16 and the coordinating Splendid Stem dies for just $8.25. I shared these projects last year:

Next is the Leaves of Holly stamp set.  It was $22 and is now just $15.25 on clearance. 

I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.

I call it the 5 at a time technique.  You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below.  And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts!  *Watch the video below or click here. 

Save

See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above?  Next I cut it using the template below: 

The first template is what you stamp on.  The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.

Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.

Watch the video below to see how it's done.  Think about your favorite stamp sets and how fast you can create beautiful cards using these templates!

  It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here.  *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now! 

  I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper.  That's where the cute gingham designs come from.  Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now?  Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack!  So cool!  The photo only shows one color but includes them all.

• Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!

  March 18, 2020

  ---

  I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

  Save

  I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

  The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

  The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

  For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

  Other Details

  • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
  • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
  • Granny Apple Green

  Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.
