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?

The words for this embossing folder you can highlight either on a card, project or behind a picture… LOVE IT! I will be creating items with this embossing folder in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

This tree bark embossing folder is really cute.. You can use paint, ink, emboss it, use white core card stock and sand it.. yes… I can go on and on and on.. LOVE IT!

Here is a close up of the actual embossing folder. I love the detail in it!

This die set goes perfect with the set I showed in my video and giveaway last week with the US map as well as the stamp and other dies. This set will really go well with our Spinner Greetings Stamp set. I am excited to create with both!

This die set is perfect for your Project Life creations, journaling, planners, cards and so much more.

I love the detail on the edges. It gives a little bit of texture with your die cut!

These beauties I fell in love with upon first glance. I just love these doily dies! You can use them to highlight a sentiment, a background texture for a creation or you can use ink or paint and use it as a stencil.

Here is a close up of the actual decorative die. It is called modern doily.

This is the detailed doily by Kaiser Craft. Isn’t it cool?

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:

Craft Haul Part 2

Craft  Haul Part 2 is what we have for you today. This is the second video of my swap meet Craft Haul. If you want to check out my Craft Haul part 1 click HERE. Today, I wanted to share the rest of my craft haul from the swap meet I bought last week.  I had gotten such a great haul I had to split it into two videos. I know… rough problem, right? It was so much fun I am going to have to go again soon.. when I can afford it!

Craft Haul Part 2 a

First we have some awesome Sizzix Embossing Folders here.

I LOVE THEM! So excited to create with them! One of the greatest things about them is that they are the larger size 5″ x 7″.

Craft Haul Part 2 b

The first embossing folder is the Kitchen Weave pattern. I love it! I think it is really versatile as you can use it for both male and female creations!

Craft Haul Part 2 c

Here is the Honeycomb embossing folder. This works great with our Design Elements stamp set.

Craft Haul Part 2 d

This is the Old Paris embossing folder. The detail is awesome!

Craft Haul Part 2 e

Here is a full picture of the embossing folder.

You can use this for a driving creation, travel, map, and so much more!

Craft Haul Part 2 f

As you can see here, the paper is an A2 size and the embossing folder is 5 x 7 so you can see how much more paper you can use with this folder. AWESOME!

Craft Haul Part 2 g

Now we have some banner dies. I love this set because it has various sizes that are perfect for matting or for creating multiple sizes for different uses.

Craft Haul Part 2 h

This is another awesome set. I love the example creation on here!

Craft Haul Part 2 i

Here is the back of the packaging so you can see how many dies come with this set! What a great deal!

Craft Haul Part 2 j

Here we have three different card sets.

These die sets have not only the card die but so many embellishments and other goodies for you to create with!

Craft Haul Part 2 k

Here is the first die. I love all of the different elements you can create!

Craft Haul Part 2 l
Here is the back of the set showing you all of the amazing dies that are in this set.

Craft Haul Part 2 m

Here is another amazing card die set. I love how cute the scalloped edges are!

Craft Haul Part 2 n

Here is the back of the envelope showing you all of the dies included in this awesome set.

Craft Haul Part 2 o

Here is the third card die set.

I love how many elements and how adorable the creation is on the front!
Craft Haul Part 2 p

I have taken out the dies for a closer review of the die set. This is the die for the card. It folds as shown above so that it is a moving card. Once folded properly, it will be an A2 card.

Craft Haul Part 2 q

Here are all of the dies included in this set. All of the circle dies can be nested in one another. I LOVE that! You also don’t have to worry about fussy cutting the mat for the base of the card. you have dies to do that for you! HOW EASY IS THAT?!

We hope you enjoyed checking out our craft haul! See anything you like?

Let me know and I hope to do a giveaway soon with one of my craft haul finds! Thank you so much for joining us today and for going on A Creative Journey with Melissa.
