If you are having trouble with some of these, don't worry! I'm still in the process of uploading the instructions. I've been busy preparing for the Boho Collective party for Kathleen at OpeningSage.com. Now that is past so I know I must get organized here!

CRAFTER'S
Collection
Musician's Collection
This assortments uses several different stamp sets including some dies on the clearance rack!
Winter Bling
This particular assortment utilizes a lot of sparkle from glitter, Stampin' Up! DSP, rhinestones and Stampin' Up! shimmer embossing paste! The sentiments inside are all about the sparkle of the season or the peace and joy of the season. This makes a great gift for those who celebrate Christmas or simply celebrate the season.
Quilter's collection
This set utilizes last year's Quilt Builder's stamps and dies. The dies and paper have been on the Clearance Rack and most of these cards were made simply using the dies and paper!
Clearance Rack Specialties!
These cards are made with items on the Clearance Rack at Stampin' Up! that are for sale at unbelievable prices! Get them before they are gone!
Year of Cheer
This card uses the Year of Cheer embellishments still on the clearance rack! It's a simple two color card that is quick and easy to make. The stamp sets involved are Colorful Seasons for the sentiment and Blooms and Wishes as well as Watercolor Wash for the layer behind the front. Highland Heather is the color as well as basic black. You can see that just about any stamp set can work with this idea!
To attach the embellishment, I punched a small hole and used the silver metallic thread to attach the piece to the paper. Leave some excess thread to swirl around and add an extra touch.
Halloween
This card makes use of the Chandelier Thinlits available at half price! The purple base is Elegant Eggplant which is now retired, but it would be just as elegant in Blackberry Bliss or Rich Razzleberry or more Halloween looking in Gorgeous Grape. If you don't have the "Lots of Labels" framelits, you can use an oval from the Oval set for the same effect. This embossed background is with Vintage Wallpaper, but I think Beautifully Baroque would be even better. If you need to purchase something current, then Garden Trellis would be perfect! Notice the sparkle and jewels on the dangling garland? Use black glitter and faceted jewels. Or, to get you to Stampin Rewards, use black sequin trim which would be even easier and available now!
Succulent Garden
I was so excited about this card I sent one to my son who is studying to become a landscape architect! You really can do a lot with the Framelits alone! This uses two sets currently on the clearance rack - Handpicked Framelits and the Succulents Framelits Dies. You definitely want both sets to create a wide variety of cards! But if your budget just allows for one set, then get the Succulents which are so unique. You can always just use a little rectangle of scrap for a sentiment. The Handpicked set is very full of a wide variety of cute styles though so I'll get a lot of use out of them on all sorts of floral cards.
I'll include some more varieties of cards using these sets soon!
Scenic Forest
This card uses the Card Front Builder Thinlits. It was part of a Christmas card set, but I think it works really well with the Waterfront stamp set! It also utilizes the new color, Shaded Spruce, which is perfect for anything to do with pine trees! You can add any sentiment to the top to make the card for a specific occasion.
Winter Scene
Here is another card using the Card Front Builder Thinlits. The background paper is from the Christmas Around the World DSP also on clearance! I think a better choice would be the current Neutrals DSP in Navy with white dots, but I don't have that at the moment. The original inspiration is from Heather of P is for Paper. She has a great YouTube video showing how to make the card with the coordinating stamp set, but it's just as nice without it.
Fiesta!
This card uses the Fiesta Time Framelits. I made it for a Fiesta themed Staff Appreciation Luncheon for a high school. Currently there is a Thank You thinly that would be great with this. See how simply choosing a variety of bright colors gives the sense of a party without needing any stamping at all? This set will come in handy many times. Especially if you live anywhere in the SouthWest!
