Clear and Simple Release in Review Day 5

Hey there!  Today the CSS DT is showcasing Sweet Treats and Favors.  I have a little card set to share using some of these new goodies!

Here is my card set all packaged and ready to go.  A simple glassine bag with some twine and a tag.

This tag die comes from the new Favor Flags dies and the solid stamp and outline come from Favor Flag Fillers.

And here are the monogrammed cards...

I used the the label stamp from Wrap-A-Round and the matching die from the Wrappers Die set.  I gave the brown paper a little texture by running it through with an imprint plate and then using the back side of the paper.  I think it looks a little softer this way.  Last but not least, I used the Alpha Engraved alphabet for the monogram.  

This is my last day for the release review!  I appreciate you coming by and checking out my projects.  Here is a list of links for the DT girls participating today.

Neat and Tangled Day 3

Scroll down for Day 4 of the Clear and Simple Release in Review!

I'm here with my last day of preview for the new Neat and Tangled line.  Danielle has the most adorable little Halloween set...with the cutest little ghost..

I thought a set of mini cards would be so fun for the kids school.  So I have a head start here and there were so easy to make!  I stamped the ghost and did a little fussy cutting.  I added him to a 2x3 card, after stamping a tree image in watermark ink around the edge.  Then I added the cute and simple "boo" to each card.  

I think the kids will love them along with a little Halloween candy inside!  Now stop over to the Neat and Tangled blog to see what the rest of the girls have whipped up!  I want to thank Danielle again for asking me to be apart of her first release!  I can't wait to see what she has for us in the future!

Have a great day!

Clear and Simple Release in Review Day 4

We are at Day 4 of CSS's Release in Review.  I have a little something fun today, in the category of...

I made dice for my kiddos for a game they like to play called, Stuck in the Mud.  You can find the rules to this game, as well as free score card print outs HERE.  You need 5 dice to play this game and I thought to myself...how much more fun would big colorful dice be?  Well.  They love them!  Here they are...

I used the Cube Box Die to make the boxes.  (this is an adorable box for little party favors too, by the way!)  Next, I used the Shapes: Square dies and frame stamps to make the sides.  The numbers are from Alpha Engraved which happens to be the best alphabet for Monogrammed cards....see post later this week!  :)

I stamped each frame in a different color and then the numbers in black.  I closed each box with double sided sticky tape.  Before I did this, I added several un-popped popcorn kernels inside for the added sound effect!  The kids love them!

The game goes on forever if you let it and is so good for practicing addition!  

There is lots more to see in the Shapes and Backgrounds round.  Here are the links to check out today...

Neat and Tangled Day 2

Scroll down for Day 3 of Clear and Simples Release Review.

I'm back today with another preview day of the new stamp line, Neat and Tangled. 

Today we are showcasing 2 new sets.  This first card is from the set Hey, cookie...



Simply stamping and a little Copic coloring.  I was thinking for mass producing those Christmas cards (right Suzanne?) that this would be super simple!

Here is my next card using Sweet Home.  I picked one element from the set and repeated it over and over to make a fun little candy center...

I popped some up on foam tape and added stickles!  The little banner I made using a 1" strip and a square punch on each end.

So that is all for today!  There are so many more fun parts to these sets, so I can't wait to see what the other designers have today!

Remember, all of these sets will be available August 10th.  You can click HERE to go straight to the Neat and Tangled blog.  Have a great day!

Clear and Simple Release in Review Day 3

It's day 3 over at CSS and we are taking a look at the July/August Release in review.  Today's topic...

I have a quick and simple thank you card and then some little treats to match!  

I used the Topper Fillers for the large label on the card and the small chevron images on the little bag toppers.  I used the Toppers Combo dies to make the label on the front of the card and to make the bag toppers!  Cute huh?  The fun part about these bags?  They have a self adhesive strip to close and?  They are only $1.00 for 5 bags!  Check them out HERE.  

Did you know Clear and Simple has bags in several sizes?  Check them out HERE along with some other fun packaging options.

Go check out what the rest of the team has for you today!  I bet we see lots of fun treats!
