Favorite Things: Clearance Rack

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ Today I wanted to share a few of my favorite items from the Clearance Rack. I’ve already shown you the All Together Designer Paper, so lets see what else is on my list!

First up …. I had to pick the cute little Scottie Dog Punch

Here’s a cute Christmas card using the Scottie Dog punch ….

If you would like to see how I created the holiday pattern on this card CLICK HERE. I have another card sample for you … Halloween and using up some of my scrap designer paper.

Since we’re talking Halloween, let’s look at the Scary Silhouettes Dies ….

Here is a fun card that I created with these dies and a watercolor wash background ….

I have one more product to show you today along with several card samples; the Rustic Harvest Designer Series paper ….

You will notice that these sheets have colorful designs on one side, and black and white on the other. If you look back at my Halloween Scottie Dog you will find some of these patterns on that card too!

My first card uses the black and white for the background, then with my blending brushes, just added some color!

The next card shows how you can bring the color level up a notch (or leave it just the way it is) I used the Stampin’ Blends because the work so well on designer paper too ….

And the last card highlighting the Rustic Harvest Designer paper, shares the before and after using the Stampin’ Blends on the Dahlia’s ….

So many uses for this paper …. take it beyond Harvest time and use the black & white for any occasion … grab some ink or markers and discover the possibilities!

These are just three of the great finds you will discover while shopping the clearance rack … I noticed that my favorite “Glitter Washi Tape” had already sold out! I will be tomorrow with a few more that I just loved using!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a happy Monday!

Monster Mash

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you ready for a Monster Mash? Monster Mash-up that is …. I’ve taken the die from the Sweet Candy Cane Bundle, the Punch from the Christmas Scottie Dog and the stamps from Scary Cute and created today’s adorable Halloween Card. What better colors to use than Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black? Then add a touch of Parakeet Party to give a boost!

How do you love the pop of the Washi tape between the spaces on the die? I think it makes our other colors pop and the sparkle brings our card to life. On the other hand … our puppy is seeing red!! He’s tired of being dressed up in those silly Halloween costumes!! lol … just kidding, our puppies love us no matter what. The love all the attention.

I dressed this little guy up with a Washi Tape bow … I just put a few strips onto my cardstock and then punched it out. Just think, you can use any designer paper to dress up your scottie. Placing my Scottie Dog on the Vellum cardstock, highlights this sweet doggie and draws you eye right to him. You can do this on any card where you want to highlight an image.

To create even more texture and dimension I stamped my greeting and bats from the Scary Cute stamp set and die cut them with the circle dies (Sizes 2, 3 and 5 for Vellum … with 1 being the smallest). These were all popped up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To complete my card I added the Matte Dots from the 2022-24 In-Color Matte Dots in Parakeet Party. All of these colors compliment each other so nice … and I almost forgot to tell you that I punch my Scottie from the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty paper so he’s got a little sparkle too.

I hope you enjoyed this mash up and my Scottie Monster … I also hoped I inspired you to think outside of the box and don’t be afraid to mix up your Christmas with other holidays!! Just have fun!!

Thank you so much for joining me today … enjoy your Tuesday!!
