June Stamp of the Month-A Flowering Bunch

Welcome to the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  If you've come here from NANCY WOMERSLEY'S BLOG, then you are on the right path.  This month we are featuring A Flowering Bunch which is a set of 10 images that are so cute for summertime. 

This 6x6 card I created was inspired by a design from Deconstructed Sketches.  The following products were used to create this card;

• X7163B Chantilly Level 2 Papers
• Z2503 Mini Pigment Inks (I used Black from the Basic Set)
• Buttercup, Ruby, Twilight, Sunset, Sweet Leaf & Cotton Candy Markers
• Z1686 Cricut Artiste Cartridge (to cut out the Buttercup flower)
• Z1701 Neutral Bakers Twine
• Z1370 Buttons Pink Asst.
• Z1263 Bitty Sparkles (in the centers of the small flowers)
• Z1151 3D Foam Tape

Thanks for hopping by!  I hope you've enjoyed our Blog Hop and have been inspired by all of the wonderully creative designs you've seen here.  You can  head on over to KATHLEEN ANDROLEWICZ'S BLOG to go through the hop again, just in case you missed anything the first time around! 

A Little Bit of Spring with Chantilly

Today I thought I would share a layout that I created as a Make & Take for a crop I was at this past weekend.  The inspiration for this layout came from one I had seen which was created by Brenda R.-a very talented artist/consultant.  She did a similar layout using the Claire papers.  I chose to use the same page design, only with the Chantilly papers.  The title, stamped image and the flowers were cut out using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge.  The stamp set I used is from the Buzz & Bumble WOTG Kit. 

New Card Workshop!

 

 

Chantilly Card Workshop

Saturday, April 6, 2013

10AM-Noon

At my home in Choconut, PA

RSVP By:  March 20, 2013

 

 

Join me for this fun workshop where you'll create 15 adorable birthday cards using the NEW Workshop on the Go Chantilly Cardmaking Kit Item#G1061.  This kit is just $29.95 and contains the following;

• Chantilly Cardmaking Workshop Stamp Set
• 2-Chantilly B&T Duos Papers
• 4-Cardstock Sheets (2 White Daisy, 1 Lagoon, 1 Kraft)
• 15-White Daisy Cards & Envelopes
• 5 yds. Lagoon Satin Ribbon
• Wooden Badge Buttons (32 pieces)
• Instructional Brochure

I also used the following ink colors; Z2218 Desert Sand, Z2195 Lagoon, Z2191 Sunset, Z2153 Sweet Leaf, Z2110 Buttercup and Z2193 Cotton Candy.  Ink pads are $5.25 ea. and can be added to your order if you do not have any of the colors listed.

Here's a look at another option when using this kit.  I simply used the reverse side of the B&T paper and added a little Buttercup cardstock, Cotton Candy & Buttercup inks to create a softer, more feminine look.

New Spring/Summer Idea Book, Jump for Joy & My Favorites

Perhaps you may want to consider holding your own Home Gathering and receiving some of those gorgeous new products for FREE or at a 50% savings! I have a few dates open in February & March and would like to offer you an extra incentive to book a Home Gathering during these months.  The first 3 people to contact me will be "Jumping for Joy"  when they get to jump up a level in their Hostess Rewards.  For example, if the sales total from your Gathering reaches $350 you would normally recieve $60 in FREE product and 1 item of your choice at 1/2 price.  But when you "Jump for Joy" to the next level you will recieve $80 in FREE product and 2 items at 1/2 price!   Have I got your attention now?  Ok, so act fast!  Contact me to take advantage of this special offer that is only available through me.   This is not a Close To My Heart promotion, but rather a special offer from me to YOU!

The NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book has so many great new kits and products, but I thought I would give you a little sneak peak at a few of my favorites.  There are 2 new Workshop on the Go Card Kits.  I will be offering the Chantilly card workshop in March-details coming soon.  I love the fresh, bright colors of these birthday cards.

 
Next up on my favorites list is the Canvas Home Decor Kit.  This kit contains products to create a wall hanging in your choice of 2 different color schemes.  This would be a beautiful artwork addition to your home.  It would also make a great Mother's Day gift!  I just got my kit and cannot wait to put it together.

It may be because I have 2 boys, but the Later Sk8r kit is my all time favorite!  I love the colors and think it just screams BOY.  Can't wait to work with this kit. 

My second favorite kit is For Always.  Love the black & white patterns and by adding just  a pop of color, you can make this kit work for many different occasions.

 
Surf's Up is another favorite for summertime and the beach.  I think I will need to do an entire album with this kit, since I have so many beach pictures.

Last up is the NEW Hinged Display Frame and the Tommy kit.  This kit has a nautical theme to it, but contains primary colors, making it very versatile.   

Of course there's plenty more new products for you to drool over, so be sure to check out the NEW Idea Book online, beginning February 1st.  Or, contact me to get your new catalog sent directly to your mailbox.  The cost is $5 to cover shipping, or if you're in the area you can stop by and pick one up.
