Below are the sale products from the projects above plus a few additional favorite sale items that I use and love:
Happy Wednesday, friends! A couple of weeks ago I went live on YouTube with this sweet skunk card (these skunks are sweet!) featuring brand new stamps, dies, and stencils from the Lawn Fawn Valentine's Release! If you stuck with me through the tech difficulties.... thank you! Also, I am aware the the quality of the live is not as good as normal. I apologize. With the difficulty with getting the stream going I missed a setting and that means not as great of quality. Boo! Good news, after multiple technicians have been out here we should be good to go for 2022! ;)

The Lawn Fawn Lots of Hearts Stencils were used to stencil a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of smooth white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers Ink and Guava Ink. I love how the layering stencils make it super easy to add two (or more!) colors of ink for this beautiful hearts background!
The background was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Thin Frames Die and then some Lawn Fawn Raspberry Cardstock was also die cut with the same die. The outside frame and inside rectangle from the stenciled design and the solid frame were then adhered to a white side fold card base.
The Lawn Fawn Giant XOXO Die was die cut several times from smooth white cardstock. One of the die cuts was inked with Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink for an ombre effect and then the dies were stacked and adhered one on top of another for a dimensional effect before being adhered to the card as shown.
The images were die cut with the coordinating dies and adhered to the card with foam adhesive as shown.
A greeting from the Lawn Fawn Scent With Love Add On was stamped on Lawn Fawn Narwhal Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The phrase was die cut with a SSS Sentiment Labels Die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel. The next YouTube Live will be Friday, January 7, 2021! Merry Christmas!
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live.

I recently purchased a makeup collection from Colourpop Cosmetics that had the cutest packaging ever! It made me think that cute packaging is everywhere and it can be repurposed into cute tags, embellishments, etc.! I decided to turn some of my favorites into a this set of four tags!
One of the patterned paper was die cut with the snowflake and a circle die to make a frame. The circle and snowflake were die cut two more times from smooth white cardstock to add some dimension and strength to the snowflake.
A solid snowflake die cut from another patterned paper was stamped with "to/from" from the Simon Says Stamp Let's Make A Tag Stamp Set and adhered to the back of the snowflake tag.
The packaging was die cut with the circle die and the circle was placed in the center of the snowflake as shown.
A crop-a-dile was used to punch a hole and the tag was finished with Lawn Trimmings Twine.
Another part of the packaging was die cut twice with a Hero Arts Nested Tag Die. A hole reinforcer was die cut from red cardstock and glued to the top of each tag.
Twine was threaded through the tag as shown. Red ribbon was tied into a pretty bow on each tag to finish.
