Did you hear the news?! There’s a NEW “Sale” dropdown on the website in the Last Chance category! You’re going to want to be sure and bookmark the page because it’s going to be refreshed regularly with current products that will be discounted for a period of only 30 days at a time — or until they sell through. How are we choosing which products to put in the Sale category? They’re selected based on various factors like pairing well with new collections (e.g., the Horse Punch was added with the launch of On the Farm, the Graduation Day Theme Pack is timely with Congrats, Grad!) or being appropriate for the season/holiday (e.g., you’ll see that the newest products just added are relevant for spring, Passover and Easter).
Sneak a peek at the newest additions below, then check out the projects to get inspiration on how you can use these discounted products in your scrapbooks! This is a great time to shop our stash and make these must-haves yours!
Note: Not all products used in the projects are still in stock. The projects are for getting ideas on how you can use the discounted products.
Sakura, the Japanese word for the pretty-in-pink cherry blossoms, are a symbol of renewal and hope. From rich hues to soft shades and the myriad of blooms on each branch, cherry blossoms can paint whole blocks and avenues. The Botanical Burst Pink products drew inspiration from these pretty trees and their fresh florals, but are perfect for more than just showcasing pink budding beauties (hello, roses, peonies and hibiscus) — think photos of babies and girls, dance recitals, birthdays, baptisms, Valentine’s Day, Easter and more. Ready to think pink? Then take a look at this pink layout and let your creativity grow!

Yellow — the sunniest hue in the rainbow. We associate yellow with warmth, sunshine and happiness, and this attention-getter shade can be seen throughout our environment, from Easter daffodils to the golden accents of buttercups and dandelions, baby chicks and the great pollinators that are bees. Want to say yellow to a fresh layout? Then take a look at this yellow scrapbook layout using the Botanical Burst collection!
Yes, flowers are so striking and stunning, but you can’t overlook the importance of foliage. Leaves can definitely add pops of hues, interest, beauty, texture, depth and shade to the landscape — they’re not just “accents,” but rather a stunning foundation for gardens and yards. In fact, leaves are the starring roles in today’s blog, which aptly features the Spring Leaf Punch! Let these leaves crafts — featuring two scrapbook borders and a DIY card — grow on you and make them today! (P.S. This punch will also work beautifully for some upcoming autumn-themed collections… anyone up for raking leaves?)
Have you ever finished up a project and wondered what to do with those tiny bits of leftover paper? Do you throw them out or let them sit on your craft, waiting patiently for months for a scrappy purpose? Blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu challenged herself to have minimal (in fact, close to nil!) extras behind, which she was successfully able to do by creating two flower scrapbook ideas that work off of each other! Give them a go today!

And it’s also a primary pigment and top-notch tinge within the Botanical Burst collection! See for yourself with this blue layout and let your creativity flourish with this Grade A shade!
Green is the hue of spring and summer, as everything comes back to life after a long winter’s slumber. Snow melts, nature rejuvenates, baby wildlife is born and fresh greenery arises everywhere, from apple trees to blades of glass. Green is always in style in these warm-weather months. And the Botanical Burst collection has you covered for springtime and summertime style, as one of the four main hues of the collection features all things green! See for yourself with this spring and summer scrapbook idea!
