More Dotty For You Cards

As promised, I am posting a couple more cards I created using the Dotty For You paper pack.  I LOVE this paper, the colors are so amazing together leaving you with so many different options when creating with it.  I decided on these two cards since they both feature butterflies.  I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut out the butterflies you see here on this card and the one on the flower below. 

Don't forget the Dotty For You Campaign is going on NOW!  You can get this extra large paper pack for only $5 with any $35 purchase from the 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book. 

Also, if you host your own Gathering and have sales of at least $400 (which is so easy to do) you will receive the Dotty For You paper pack for FREE!

And New Consultants who join Close To My Heart between now and May 31st will receive a Dotty For You paper pack FREE with their New Cosultant Kit.

Stay tuned for more artwork featuring this gorgeous paper pack...You'll be addicted to Dotty very soon!

April Stamp of the Month-"YOU ARE" Card Workshop

As promised, I am posting some artwork which I created using the April Stamp of the Month, "YOU ARE".  I sat down to create a couple cards and in no time at all, I had whipped up these four awesome masculine cards.  For some reason I never seem to create many "manly" looking cards, but I find myself needing one more than I realize, so these will really come in handy.  In fact, I loved using this stamp set so much that I decided to offer these cards as a workshop, so that you too can create some "manly" cards to have on hand.  Here's a look at the cards I created.....

The papers I used are from the NEW Victory paper pack-love this paper and can see myself using it for many other projects as well.  If you have boys, this paper pack is a must have!   I also used the NEW Square Durables Studs-these are great and are adhesive backed, so just peel & stick.   Gotta love it!

This card workshop will be held on Friday, May 4, 2012 from 6-8PM at my home in Choconut, PA.  The cost for the kit which makes 8 cards & includes the stamp set, is just $20!!  Here's what is included:

• 8 Colonial White Card Bases & Envelopes
• 18 Milepost Shapes-Stars
• 18 Gold Square Durables
• "YOU ARE" Stamp Set (retail value $17.95)
• Pre-Cut Victory Papers and Cardstock

If you do not want the stamp set, deduct $5 (but who wouldn't want the stamp set, especially at a reduced price???)  The ink pads I used are Desert Sand, Olive, Outdoor Denim and Barn Red-if you have any of these, you may want to bring them along.  Or you can add any of the colors to your order for just $5.25 ea.   The Blocks that work well with this set are the 1x1, 1x3 1/2 and the 4x5.

If you would like to participate in this workshop, I need your RSVP/payment by April 21, 2012.  Here's another look at the stamp set and a one page layout I created with it.  As you can see, this is a set you will use again and again.
