Clearance Rack Super Deal

I made all eight of these cards in about 10 minutes.  Yes, I surely did.  And, what a deal this is. 

The set of eight cards in the Something Special Simply Sent Kit is on Stampin' Up's clearance rack for just $2.39.  Is this not a great deal or what?  The kit comes with eight preprinted cards, eight white envelopes, eight pieces of Chocolate Chip 5/8" satin ribbon, cut to 16" lengths, and 16 adhesive backed rhinestones.  I stamped Thank You in Chocolate Chip ink, and there you have it.  Custom made, hand crafted cards, ready to mail in about 10 minutes.  To see all the items on the clearance rack, click  here.  I would love to hear from you and please contact me if you have any questions.

Run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man

Isn't this just the cutest little gift?  I received one of these from my downline, Linda Wilkie, and right away I just had to case it.  I am offering this project at my classes this month. 

Recipe:  Stamp Set:  Sweet Season;  Paper:  Real Red, Crumb Cake, Basic Black CS;  Ink:  Basic Black, Chocolate Chip (to sponge the edges of the gingerbread man), Basic Black marker;  Accessories:  Scallop Border, Fancy Flower, 1" circle, and 1/4" circle punches, 1/4" Real Red gg ribbon.

The gingerbread man is a Little Debbie product, and is pre-bagged. 

To get the scallop border, I used a 4" x 3/8" strip of cardstock, punched the length of one side, turned the cardstock to the opposite side, and punched again.  If you have a Big Shot and the Tasteful Trim Bigz die, use the rick-rack portion of the die, just another option I found to be easy.

I used double-sided sticky tape to adhere the little bag to the topper.  Fun and easy.  I hope you will want to give it a try. 

Thank you for stopping by today,

Linda
