Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you to all that have served! Your sacrifices are never forgotten. You will always be in our hearts!

Shout it from the Rooftops Succulent Framelits are Back on the Clearance Rack!!

Woohoo! I am thrilled beyond words that the Succulent Framelits are back on the Clearance Rack! I was and still am devastated that the Oh, So Succulent stamp set and framelits retired.

I love them, my mom loves them, and so do my customers. Even if you are not a succulent fan, these framelit dies might just convert you! Plus, no green thumb is required to "grow" these succulents!

I still use the Succulent Framelits for my personal projects. In fact, I have two sets of Succulent Framelits to make the cutting go even quicker.

The Succulent Framelits are great because you can use them independently of the stamp set, you can practice color coordinating, build on your sponging techniques, and create gorgeous home decor projects, cards, gift bag embellishments, gift tags, and more!

My mom and I spent many an afternoon just playing with different size and layering combinations. There are a myriad number of ways to put the petal layers together - big, small, medium, center the petals on top of each other, offset the petal from each other, etc.

We also tried various ways of sponging each petal layer. We tried sponging the entire petal, the middle portion, just the petal tips, and even layering multiple inks on top of each other.
 

We folded some petals upwards and some downwards for even more effects. The results were just stunning!

We sponged the same ink combinations on multiple colors of cardstock to see how each ink and cardstock reacted. 

For Christmas, my mom and I used some of our succulent creations to design a wreath for my sister-in-law.

We both had many succulents left, so we made a few more home decor projects! Here is an old-fashioned match holder tin filled with a sweet succulent arrangement.

Here are two succulent arrangements in small wooden planter boxes.

Here are two more succulents in glass containers filled with pebbles and soil.

As you can see, we are pretty enamored by the Succulent Framelits! I hope you will be too! Pick up a set or two of the Succulent Framelits on the Clearance Rack before they are sold out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Just for You Blueberry Crate

I have the best stylist! Since I have started going to this salon, I have gotten to know her as a friend. She is a fantastic stylist, mom, cook, and makeup artist. I look forward to my appointments and make little treat holders to show my appreciation.

Today I brought a Lemon Lime Twist Wooden Crate filled with white chocolate and blueberry cream truffles. I also added a chocolate foil lady bug because he was just too cute with the daisy! The front of the crate is adorned with a daisy sponged in the center with Daffodil Delight ink and an oval greeting tag.

I layered the oval tag with the Night of Navy and Whisper White polka dot patterned paper from the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper pack for a small burst of color.

The “Just for you” greeting could easily be swapped for another greeting such as Happy Mother’s Day, thank you, or even a greeting for a birthday party favor. There are many greetings to choose from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, which sadly is retiring. I cannot believe Teeny Tiny Wishes is retiring! It had been such a staple in the catalog for many years! If I were to recommend one thing to get before it retires, it would be the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. This is my go to greeting stamp set, for sure!

What is your go to stamp set?  Is it a greeting set, a set for a special occasion, or an image set? I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!
