Pemberly is one of my favorite new paper packets. I love the bold Blue floral, and I just couldn't wait to get my inky paws on this collection! I want to send out a big Thank you to one of my up line's Wendy Coffman for creating this project. For a March Workshop, I've created this beautiful Card Box complete with 15 unique card fronts! When you've used up the cards, you'll still have the pretty box for storing trinkets or photos. Be the first to contact me with a date for a workshop and receive a gift.
                                                              

    

Each kit includes pre-cut papers, the card box, embellishments including the new Sparkle Flourishes and Seam Binding Ribbon plus full color instructions to make everything pictured - just add adhesive! We are making card fronts only so we can get more cards from our paper supplies for the kit while keeping the price reasonable. The Pemberly Card Box kit is just $25



All of the stamping on these cards is done with a new stamp set call Card Word Puzzle - a beautiful collection of floral/nature images and  individual words you can combine to make dozens of phrases! If you are attending the workshop in person you are welcome to stamp with my set, or you can upgrade your kit to include the stamp set, which you'll want to use again and again!


Please contact me to reserve your kit and create a date for your workshop for this elegant workshop. You can contact me via email.


Inks used: Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue, Creme Brule, Desert Sand, Sweet Leaf

I'm so Excited !

I can hardly wait,. tomorrow February 1st I will have the New Spring/Summer Catalog posted for a direct link to see all the new and exciting products.Each product that is new has a symbol next to the name. Also being continued in this catalog, is the symbol to let you know if it can be cut with the Z1686 Cricut Art Philosophy Collection .

Watch for it, Enjoy it, and I hope you love the products as much as I do!

Art Philosophy Cricut Collection

I am loving my cricut and the sound of chirping can be heard through my house all day long :-) I wanted to share with you a video that shows how to make some fun flowers using the exclusive Close to My Heart Z1686 Art Philosophy Cricut collection, D1491 Hooray Bouquet stamp set, and X7141B Elemental Level 2 paper pack. What I am loving the cartridge for, is that I don't have to cut out my stamped images anymore. I can just program my cricut to cut it for me and in just a minute I can have as many flowers as I want cut out. Then all I have to do is stamp them up and start creating and decorating.





There are a couple ways you can get this product:

1. The first is to just order the Cricut cartridge with 3 stamp sets for only $99 and if you also want to order a few other items you can put in a $150 order and take advantage of the hostess rewards and choose another $25 in FREE product. I  know that you will love all the NEW Fun stuff in the Spring/Summer Idea book so choosing a few other items to order will be easy!


2. The second way you can own the cartridge is to schedule a Home Gathering with me in the next few month's and invite some friends over and we'll create a fun layout or some cards and if your party reaches $250 then you can take the cartridge at 1/2 price--that's only $50! Plus you can choose $40 of free stuff.
