Stampin' $10 Grab Bag

OK, I have been working on the goodies I received in my $10 Grab Bag and you are going to be shocked how much I was able to design.  I ran out of steam and saved some of the goodies for another day so I will show you what I saved and you will see these items used at a later time.

OK, here we go!

In addition to the flowers on these cards, my daughter made 9 more just like them that she put magnets on the back of and placed on a friends locker at school as a surprise birthday decoration.

All these cards and the cards above have envelopes to go with them (these came in the Grab Bag).

Ok there is more, the rest are scrapbook pages I put together with Grab Bag Items.

I was so excited to the see the princess and fairytail products I found in my Grab Bag (remember all bags are different).  We have so many Disney pictures I still need to scrapbook and these pages will be great for those photos.

These next three photos are of a Progressive Scrapbook Page like I had a few days ago.  The first photo is of the 6x6, second the 8x11 and the third the 12x12.

  

On all these scrapbook pages I had to use my own 12 x 12 pieces of card stock, 8 in all.  Adhesives, stamp sets and inks were also mine and did not come with the Grab Bags.

The final two photos are of the items I had left over.  Tons of flowers, three envelopes, 5 buttons, more felt flowers and over 14 feet of ribbon.

To order these and other Stampin' Up! product remember you can shop 24/7 by clicking this link.

Stampin' Up!'s Clearance Rack

How long has it been since you took a look at the Stampin' Up Clearance Rack?  Right now, until supplies run out, Stampin' Up! has an item called the Grab Bag on the Clearance Rack.  Grab Bags contain discontinued products, including any combination of products like ribbons, Accents & Elements, chipboard, Designer Series Paper, or Simply Sent kit components (components could include pre-cut card stock, envelopes, buttons or brads, ribbon pieces, etc.). Grab bags do not contain stamp sets or tools.

These bags sell for $5 and $10.  The $5 bag contains $20 worth of retail discontinued items and the $10 bag contains $40 worth of retail discontinued items. 

I have never ordered one of these so I thought I would give it a try and see how I liked them. I think they are a fabulous value, look at what I was able to make with my $5 bag. (Both of the first two pictures are from the $5 bag)

I was able to complete 14 cards (2 sets of 5 and 1 set of 4), with matching personalized envelopes and still have 2 envelopes, 4 small pieces of card stock and 2 yards of ribbon left over. 

All I supplied were the stamps, ink and adhesive.

Below is a picture of what came in my $10 grab bag. 

I will post what I make out of these products when they are completed.

To order your Grab Bag from the clearance rack today just click this link, then click clearance rack on the left hand side of your page.

Remember that supplies are limited and once an item on the clearance rack is gone that is the end for that special.
