My Cluttered Corner

It's time for the last New and Must Have Crafty Supplies video for 2022!

This month I am sharing the new Pawsitively Velvet cardstock from Simon Says Stamp.

And the SSS Color Blend Cardstock.

Both cardstocks are great for making backgrounds or die cutting!

I am also sharing the Basic Trio die set from SSS CZ Designs.

And the Make a Wish die set and Birthday Celebration Sentiment Strips.

You can see all of these cards and a big destash giveaway in today's video!

Check out the new supplies below. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Did you ever buy an expensive monthly card kit, only to find it sitting on your shelf untouched months later? I certainly have! So I have some tips and tricks for using up the supplies in the kit so you can take the supplies that are not able to be used up like a blending brush or stamp set and add those to your stash for cards in the future.

Today I am sharing 10 cards made with the Simon Says Stamp May 2022 card kit!

In each card, I try to find ways to use up the cardstock and patterned paper in the kit, while still making each card unique!

Plus, I don't use supplies outside the card kit! You should be able to make a bunch of cards with just what comes inside the kit (other than adhesive or other basics).

So in today's video I share tips and tricks for using up those it supplies, like using both sides of a 6x6 patterned paper on one card.

Or letting the patterned paper be the main design element...

or multiple colors of stamping on a basic piece of patterned paper rather than reaching for cardstock.

Or heart embossing on patterned paper.

And even using up tiny scraps of cardstock and patterned paper to complete a clean and simple card.

Once those items were all used up I did want to share that you can continue to use the other things like inks and stamps to make a colorful background...

and throw in the clear embossing powder for a resist ink blended effect!

To see all the tips and tricks, check out today's video!

There are still a few May kits left! Grab them below before they are gone or check out some of the individual supplies below. Thanks for stopping by!

I am a very happy subscriber to Simon Says Stamp Card Kit club and I have 5 reasons why!

I've also created 5 cards with the July kit Home Sweet Home. And while this kit did sell out, many of the individual products like the stamp set and patterned paper are still available. I will link to those products down below. By the way, not missing out on a kit is one of the main reasons I am a subscriber! Check out the other reasons and some card inspiration in this video:
