My Cluttered Corner

It is my favorite time of the month! Time for a New and Must Have Crafty Supplies video.

In these videos, I peruse the new products section of Simon Says Stamp, but the things that strike my fancy and then share them with you all, so you can see them and decide if they are something you'd like to add to YOUR stash!

This month, I am sharing the new Distress color, Saltwater Taffy. I bought the new color in a Distress Oxide Ink (I also buy the refill for that), Distress Paint and Distress Oxide Spray. I am in love with this new color and how beautifully it pairs with Spun Sugar and Abandoned Coral.

I also bought the new Memory Box Vintage Pastel Mirror pad. This 6x6 pad contains heavy weight cardstock mirror or metallix pieces in shades from pearlescent pastels to beautiful metallic tones.

Speaking of 6x6 pads, I also bought the new Lawn Fawn Gotta Have Gingham Pad. I've never met a Lawn Fawn patterned paper pad I didn't like, plus it is a rainbow of gorgeous ginghams!

Speaking of rainbows, the new My Favorite Things Hip Hip Yay pad has them in spades! It is meant to be a birthday pad, but there are plenty of versatile rainbow sheets as well!

Next up, I grabbed the Lawn Fawn Clear and Sparkle Glaze Pens. Love that they come in a pen format for easy dots, lines and covering stamped images.

Also from Lawn Fawn is the How You Bean? Strawberry Add On stamp set and dies. So cute!

I love "hugs" dies for cardmaking and this font is unlike any I've seen so I was happy to add the Freestyle Hugs die from Poppy Stamps to my collection!

When I saw the Lucy's Little Things My Love Mix I knew I had to have it because it seemed to coordinate perfectly with SaltWater Taffy! Love the mix of sequins, pearls and stars!

Last but not least, I grabbed the Studio Katia Crystal Hearts. These are stunning and I had nothing like them in my extensive shaker goodies/embellishment collection!

Of course I created a few cards using the new supplies! Did I mention I love ink blending with Saltwater TaffyDistress Oxide Ink?

But the combination of Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy in Distress Oxide Spray is equally amazing! And check out the pearlescent Memory Box Mirror cardstock in the shadow of the hugs die and how it looks with the blue gingham!!

If the strawberries here look dimensional and shiny, it's because of the Lawn Fawn Clear Glaze!

The My Favorite Things patterned papers layer so nicely together!

My latest episode of Get a Jump on Christmas is live and features the cutest STUFFED santa's and hilarious sentiments from My Favorite Things.

The images are the cutest and the sentiments crack me up!

They make it super easy to create fun cards.

Check out today's video to see the stamps and dies and all three card ideas in action!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For some reason, I never have enough birthday cards in my stash!

So, imagine my joy when I saw this month's My Favorite Things card kit, Celebrate You!!

The kit contains two stamp sets with coordinating dies, tons of cardstock and a patterned paper pad.

But the best part is how versatile it all is!

Nothing is too cutesy for adults or too stodgy for kids!

The colors aren't too girly or too masculine.

It really is the perfect all around birthday card kit!

I had so much fun creating a ton of cards with it!

I flip through the kit contents and then create all these cards in today's video:

I am not always a fan of the Pantone color of the year. I never liked any of the purples or magentas. But this year? When Pantone chose a gray and yellow color combo? It seemed to speak to the moment of sadness (missing our people) and hope (that we will see them again soon) and I loved it.  In fact I've always liked gray with pops of yellow. So when My Favorite Things came out with their Friendship Card kit featuring these colors, I had to have it. And when I started creating with it, I couldn't stop.
