Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part Three

Scrapbooking Made Simple Craft Haul Part Three is what we have for you today and I think we saved the BEST FOR LAST!!! I am so excited to share what we have for today!

We don’t have tutorials we have TWO GIVEAWAYS!!! You are going to LOVE THEM!

I went shopping at Scrapbooking Made Simple’s AWESOME SALE! Sadly, it has ended but I have two prizes so you can feel like you went too! Are you ready?

For starters of the Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part Three, we have these awesome dies. They could all work together and all work separately of course as well. Let me give you a little close up of what these beauties look like.

This set comes with seven fabulous dies that can be used together or separately.

I think I am going to use some twine and create a card with it.

What I really love is the way the holes are larger and will give great texture to your creation when you use some type of medium like thread or yard in the holes.

This set has very small holes to give great but SUBTLE texture. I really love it and there are a whopping 14 dies! I know… YOWSA! This sale goes on every year! How are you liking the Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part Three so far??

When I saw this set I automatically thought of my sister. She is a Bee Keeper and I think I will have to create something fantabulous with it… What, well I am not sure.

Do you have any suggestions??

I really love this embossing folder… I loved it so much, I decided you would too sooooo…

This is one of the giveaways! You could use this with color and without. You could highlight the embossed design with ink or paint or you could lightly sand your paper to show the texture…

I really enjoyed this embossing folder. It would be great for a heritage page, masculine or feminine page or you could use it as a cool background as well!

I was so excited to see this set from Sizzix. I can’t wait to get started! This die set has so many possibilities. I love how you can use it to document your travel as well as maybe tell someone that lives far away that you miss them. There are so many more possibilities! What would you do with it?

This set is on the larger scale. Another reason why it appealed to me. The rectangle is approximately 5″ inches wide! How perfect is that?

Alright planners.. I didn’t forget about you! When I saw this set and immediately thought of you!

I can’t even imagine how many creations that can be made with this awesome die set. Don’t you LOVE IT?!

Whether you need a large or a small clip, you are covered with this die set. You could even cut thin metal with it! Wouldn’t that be neat?

Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part One

Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part One is what we have for you today. Today we have crafting goodies not a tutorial so sit back, relax and enjoy my shopping spree…and it won’t cost you a penny! You may even get to win something!

I want to start off by sending my love, hugs and prayers to Stacey and her family, the owner of Scrapbooking Made Simple and the reason why I have the Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part One today. Sadly, she had a house fire THE DAY HER AWESOME SALE STARTED! Unfortunately, her house is a total loss. Fortunately, everyone is OK but the devastation of years of memories gone has got to be horrible. Please says some prayers for her and her family while they go through this.

I don’t know about you but I really do still like the old fashioned dies. Ya know… the thick ones.

I like to use them because unlike the wafer thin dies, I can make multiple cuts thru a larger quantity of paper which saves me time. I also have a Big Shot Pro which is a die cut machine that cuts dies that are 12″ x 12″ so that is awesome for scrapbook pages, larger cards and envelopes.

You can also use two of the Bigz Sizzix dies together at one time with it because of its larger machine format size.

For Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part One, I am showing you the larger, thicker dies I purchased.

For this first die, I was really excited because it got me thinking of different ways I could use our stamp sets with these die cuts. They would be perfect for sentiments or even making a cool pattern with scrap pieces of paper! So many ideas!!

I love this die! Although I have a similar one that I have used with blue jeans, I have ideas on how I am going to use this one the same way! What a perfect way to dress up a gift card gift, right? Stay tuned because I will be doing a tutorial on it in one of my future Mondays with Melissa posts.

Another item for my Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part One was this wallet die. I love all of the extra die cuts it comes with so you can really make it as fancy or plain as you wish. The buckles are adorable and can be used for other creations as well!

This is a Sizzix Big Shot Pro die. It is a 12 x 12″ die that is used with the Sizzix Big Shot Pro Machine.

There are so many things you can do with this die.

You can use it as the envelope as it was designed for or you can use it as an invitation using the inside of it as your area to write. You can also use it as a pocket and just cut off the one side! There are so many possibilities!

This is also another Big Shot Pro Die. I love the A2 card and that it has a way for you to add a die on the inside where you can create a cut out in the front of the card itself. It doesn’t have to be used but what a great addition to any creation!

I also purchased two of these embossing folders… Hmmm… what should I do? I guess you will have to wait until the end of this post to find out…..

For the awesome sale, Stacey had some awesome giveaways of her own! I wanted to be sure to show you them! First is the awesome glitter marker exclusive to Scrapbooking Made Simple. It is really cool and I can’t wait to use it!

You also get a scrapbook kit, pin, die and stamp set! This is just my Scrapbooking Made Simple Warehouse Sale Haul Part One… we have two more to show you in the coming weeks!

Now, for the GIVEAWAY! I am giving away this embossing folder. You can use it with ink, paint, white core paper and SO MUCH MORE! It’s an awesome folder that has numerous uses and can be used for both women and men! Multi -Use.. my kind of product!

To qualify to win, you must be BOTH:

Awesome Deals Shopping Haul: Scrapbooking Made Simple and Daiso

Awesome Deals Shopping Haul : Scrapbooking Made Simple and Daiso is what we have for you today which means once again no projects. I do plan on doing projects with my amazing finds but I thought I would be sure to show you what I got! I knew you would want to be “In the know” so better to be safe than sorry right? What kind of crafting sister would I be if I kept all of this awesome information to myself… NOT A GOOD ONE!

First, I want to show you the FREEBIES my son and I received for waiting in line

at Scrapbooking Made Simple’s Shop that didn’t Hop and Sizzix Warehouse Sale and for the Shop that didn’t Hop…. My son came with me in the wee hours of Friday morning… He is pretty cool, isn’t he! The line was pretty long by the time they opened the doors but well worth it! I know I am going to go back especially since the sale doesn’t end until July 31st! You can also shop online so be sure to check out my friend Stacey’s website and you can order online HERE or you can go in and meet her yourself! If you order online, please be sure to be familiar with her shipping policy as it takes a while with this huge awesome savings event!

Our first free gifts were

two rolls of netting; one that is a spider web weave for Halloween and another that is a gold weave that will be perfect for the holidays!

Next we received this sticker sheet perfect for Christmas cards and also a cute little paper set for cards or to dress up a candle. Can’t wait to play with all of it!

We also received an adorable package for the Shop that didn’t Hop…

The pin that was specially designed for this is A M A Z I N G!!! I mean seriously how cool is this?

Last but not least if you visit.. THE SCRAPBOOK PAGE!!

Quantities may be limited, you can get an adorable Shop that didn’t Hop pin with the Phantom of the Opera theme, an adorable scrapbook layout to commemorate the event. Are you ready for some more of my Awesome Deals Shopping Haul?

To add to this awesome package,

Last but not least…

an awesome chandelier stamp and die set! All of that just for heading over there… TRUST ME! You want to go..

For our Awesome Deals Shopping Haul: Scrapbooking Made Simple and Daiso

Here are the awesome items I purchased at Scrapbooking Made Simple Sizzix Warehouse Sale!

I am really excited about the four dies I purchased here. The two card ones, the gift card holder and the easel. I can’t wait to create!

Here are some awesome dies that can be used for project life, planners and pocket page scrapbooking … the possibilities are endless. There is also another step card that I purchased that has a little bit different configuration.

Here are some awesome dies and embossing folders I purchased.

Now onto the Daiso Store Haul

So now we are onto the Daiso part of the Awesome Deals Shopping Haul. If you haven’t been to a Daiso store and you have one in your area, you will want to go. Go here to look for a store in your area. If not for anything else, go for the experience. I went to the Diaso Store in Gardena, California. From what their website said, they were the largest store in the Los Angeles area with 1415 square feet. They have so many cool things and not all from the Daiso brand in Japan although most are. I love their products and the versatility their products provide. This is definitely a think outside of the box type of place!

Here are the items we purchased on our Daiso part of the Awesome Deals Shopping Haul!

There are chair feet pads, adorable erasers, a huge water bottle and a scrubber for washing wheels on cars.

I also purchased a sealer and I am hoping it works on paper! My hubby bought a micro usb cord. I also purchased file tabs for my boys as well as some magnets for me!

Now for the pictures of the Diaso store…

These items were located in what I would call the housewares section.

They had everything from hooks, felt pads for chairs (which I bought!), laundry bags, shoes that looked like crocs both with and without furry lining, chair pads and so much more.. and that is just in this aisle!

This was the cleaning and storage area items were.

It was located at the back of the store. They had everything from mops, brooms, mini trash cans, and just about every storage container size you could imagine!

Here are some towels, sponges and a number of different cleaning products but you could use these beautifully colored towels for a covering for a scrapbook, accent for a card. die cut some shapes… the possibilities are endless!

All of these items appear to be meant for cooking items and decor when doing so. Some really cute items as well as some things that I think would be great for paper crafting… Let’s take a closer look..

I saw these and although they are meant to be used with seaweed sheets for sandwich and food decoration, why not try it with paper? Yes, it’s how I think 🙂

PERFECT FOR COOKING!

I love these items! I love how there are tiny ones and larger sized ones… I’ts pretty cool!

I love the bright colored cooking utensils! As I look at this picture, I need to go back and get some grabbing tongs… I really need a pair! LOL

Containers Containers Containers with color!!! YAHOOOO!!! So many ideas! Look at those cute little jars with straws! SO CUTE!

Here are some amazing dishes of all different colors!

Here they had a whole bunch of double sided tape… all different kinds and sizes!

Did someone say Silk Tape?

I don’t know how different silk tape is versus washi tape but hold on.. we have washi tape too!

They had all different kinds of washi tape. I didn’t find them to be inexpensive as most of them were $1.5o per roll. Some of them had sets of three which would be more worth it but the singular rolls looked like they were $1.50 each. Beautiful colors though!

I LOVED the chalk items..

They had labels, tags, markers and so many awesome things! Yes, I know.. I need to go back already!

Here is some of their yarn and string items.

Here are some twine and more string items as well.

Here are some paper and material items… I seriously have so many ideas for this stuff… I had to walk away! lol next time paper… next time!

Here are some beads and trim.

So many different colors and textures!

They even had items for PETS! YES!! All different kinds of brushes, nail trimmers, bowls, collars and more!

Here are some ADORABLE ceramic mugs… OMG! THEY ARE ADORABLE AREN’T THEY?

Here are some adorable clips, frames and little chairs that would be perfect for a doll house!

You can STAMP ON YOUR TOAST!

You stamp the impression of these stamps and then you toast your bread! How cool is this? Wouldn’t this be fun for some little ones?

I hope you enjoying the sharing of our Awesome Deals Shopping Haul. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away! We appreciate you taking the time to visit and hope you enjoyed going on A Creative Journey with Melissa Awesome Deals Shopping Haul!!
