After Christmas sales and a new release - -

Placed a couple of orders for after the holiday sales at online stores and first is the order from The Greetery:

I bought the "Spring Frame" hot foil plate on the right and their "Char-Cut-erie Board" die. Always happy to get a sale..... the next order is from ScrapDivaDesigns and I finally bought her "Baking Mrs. Clause" die set - she is so cute made up and festive for holiday baking projects.... Also bought her Christmas Gnome die set also which I have wanted since she released it - that is a 25 piece die set and lots of ideas for him. He is a good size so he can be a card by himself, a tag, etc.. Thinking her sale was 25% off which was a good deal.... 

Bought the new release from This Calls For Confetti "Sweet Talk" die set and matching stencil set for Valentine projects ahead: 

Stencil set makes the solid hearts and then the shadow and words for the candy hearts:

Cute release from TCFC and hoping to use those soon..... Always happy when online stores offer sales for more than 10% or 15% off...... 

Another store closing. . .

Took a day trip late this week and headed to Greensboro -- stopped at a few places but wanted to stop at the PaperStudio to pick up some stamping supplies I had on my list... Happy I was able to go while on my vacation but..... found out they are closing their store the end of this month and going out of business. But they were having a sale so I did pick up some deals:

First was a BetterPress plate from Spellbinders. I do not have the BetterPress system but I have hot foiled some of their plates and they foil beautifully. So I picked up the "Raining Pumpkins" plate. I also picked up the Spellbinders "Happy Fall Sentiments" die set to go with that:

I also picked up some crafting supplies -- 3/8" tear and tape which is a size I did not have, new bottle of Glossy Accents, a red Gina K ink pad:

Everything in the store is 35% off with all Christmas products being 50% off so I bought a few new holiday items. I picked up a "believe" die and shadow die set from Paper Rose, and the All Tucked In-Holiday Windows die set from Taylored Expressions. This die set goes with their All Tucked In box die they came out with years ago that I had gotten then. Also picked up a Gina K stencil set for Christmas. It is the Modern Poinsettia stencil set in multiple stencils:

Happy to find the PhotoPlay "Jolly" stamp set and die and shadow set and I was happy she had both the stamp and die set left. I had seen cards made with that set and lots of cute projects to use that on.... 

She also had the Pinkfresh stamp, die, and stencil for their Festive Tickets set:

Also picked up the LDRS stamp set "Good Cheer Sentiment":

Also picked up the Spellbinders "Flowering Tree" die set and the last of her Mintay 6x6 paper pad for spring projects "Elodie":

Happy I was able to shop her store again on vacation but saddened her store is closing... but I think in 2025 many more stores will close their doors as well as online shops but there are always thrift stores to shop for supplies....
