Clearance Rack Goodies

Stampin' Up! is having an awesome sale on discontinued items in the Clearance Rack section. We just ordered a few things of ribbon and a couple packs of Designer Series paper along with shipping for around $20! Definitely check it out and see if there's anything in there that you could use. Some items are discounted up to 80%! FYI, when you get to page 10, if you keep clicking the arrow on the side, it will take you to more pages. I don't know why they don't list more numbers, so you think you've reached the end of the clearance section. But you haven't and there's a bunch more so keep clicking!

The picture above will take you to Heidi's Demo site where there is a "shop now" button. When you get to the shop click on the "clearance rack" section to check out all the goodies for a bargain!

Happy Friday to you!

Entries for THS Color Challenge #4

I was putting together the post for July's Color Challenge and I realized I never posted the entries we received for the month of May Color Challenge. The baby came and life just kind of swept over me. Things like the blog and color challenges kind of got ignored.

Anyway, it's not too late, right?!

Here's the entries we received for the THS Color Challenge #4.

Thanks to those who participated and sorry for the delay in getting your entries up! =)

Arielle from Snappy Stamper made this awesome card. I love what she came up with!

That textured background is really nice. =)

Anthonette from Chavez Designs made this super cute Father's Day card with the colors.

I love the layout with the blocks of different patterns going on! =)

Thanks for your participation! Join us again!

Check back with us tomorrow for our new color challenge for July!

Wowzer! Wednesday

Hi to all of you! How are you doing today?

Our Wowzer! Wednesday focus today is on simple cards

that still give that "Wowzer!" factor!

We're featuring work from 4 wonderful card makers today,

so let's get started with the wowing! =)

Here we go!

First up is this beautiful card by Renee. She used a combination of patterned paper and a stamped background along with a punched border and a simple, yet stunning, stamped flower focal point. She added a build-a-brad and a die-cut element to add a little "extra" to this card. In addition, her color combo is a departure from the ordinary and it a total Wowzer!! You can visit Renee HERE for a complete list of supplies and to give her a wave! =)

Next is this lovely and calming card from Julie Davison. Julie does such a great job keeping things simple and yet turning out lovely work. This card is no exception. She stuck with one stamp set primarily (except for the sentiment) and used it in a variety of ways. The rounded corners on the panels, the multi-colored floral image and the silver brads give the "extra" that make you forget that this card is simple. Love it! You can visit Julie HERE for a complete list of supplies and let her know her card is beautiful! =)

Our next Wowzer! pick is this bright and fun card from Nancy Riley. She kept things simple using designer paper and die-cuts as the main basis of this card, but she added the "extra" by using an eye-catching color combo and a fun button in the middle! It's perfect for the winter blues! =) You can visit Nancy HERE for a complete list of supplies and to say hi!

And last, but not least this week, is this sweet card from Vicki. The simple layout of the card is taken from simple to "wowzer!" with a few "extras" that are very easy to add, but they make such a difference! The ribbon, the embossed cardstock, the butterflies and the addition of the silver pearls on the butterflies all combine to make a lovely card. You can visit Vicki HERE for a complete list of supplies and to say something sweet! =)

We hope you've been inspired today with these cards. Next time your simple card looks a little too simple for your tastes, try adding one or more of the elements we saw in today's cards. A little ribbon, a button, a die cut element, or some embossing can make all the difference!

Have a wonderful day today and stay creatively inspired! =)
