For Always Anniversary Card

Last week my parents celebrated their 47th Wedding Anniversary!  WOW-that's a long time to be married!  But Kudos to them!  They are happy together in sunny Florida, where they are very active and involved in many different organizations.  Aaahh, the retirement life! 

I'm always a little sad that I can't be with them to celebrate all of these wonderful occasions, but I can make a beautiful card to send to them.  They enjoy receiving them and my Mom saves every single card I send her, bless her heart. 

Here's the Anniversary Card I created using the For Always Papers.  The papers in this kit are all black & white, so you can pair them with any color and they still look great!  I chose to go with a color combo from the Idea Book, Lagoon & Honey.

 Here's a list of the supplies used to create this card:  

• X7165B For Always Paper Pack
• D1539 The Happy Couple Stamp Set
• Z2105 Black Ink Pad
• Summer Posies Paper Flowers (Retired)
• Sheer Yellow Ribbon (Retired)
• Z578 Corner Rounder
• Z1151 3-D Foam Tape
• Z1707 Bitty Opaque Pearls

If you know of someone who has a wedding coming up, this kit would be just perfect!  You can place an order HERE on my website, and it will be shipped directly to your door!  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

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. 

SIgn Up & Celebrate with My Sunshine!

I have 2 specials to tell you about that are sure to bring a little sunshine to your day.  If you've ever considered becoming a Close To My Heart consultant, now is the time to jump in and join! 

When you sign up as new consultant during the month of April, you'll receive these 4 stamps sets FREE with your New Consultant Kit.  That's an extra $72 worth of product for FREE!  Aren't these stamp sets adorable?  They are the Stamp of the Month sets for April-July and you'll recieve them early, with your kit so you'll be able to get a jumpstart on some artwork for the upcoming months.  You can use them in addition to all the great products you recieve in the Essentials New Consultant Kit which contains $155 worth or products for only $49!  Here's a look at what's included in the Essentials Kit.

For just $99 you can get the Master Kit which contains everything in the Essentials Kit, plus the 4 FREE stamp sets, business materials, tools and 5 Studio J layouts.  That's a retail value of over $400 in products for just $99!  A HUGE savings and a great deal!

The most frequently asked question about becoming a consultant is, "What are the minimum requirements?"  You may be surprised at how achievable it is.  To remain an active consultant you need to have $300 in sales PER QUARTER.  That's only $100 per month, which is easy to reach for yourself and a few friends/family members.

Next up is the April Stamp of the Month-My Sunshine!  It's such a cute little set, so bright and cheery.  This set can be yours during the month of April for only $5 with a $50 purchase, or $17.95 retail.



Here's a couple of cards I created using My Sunshine.  For the Tweet card I used the new Tommy and Surf's Up papers and Hemp Twine from the Wooden Mini Medley, along with a button from the Antique Gold Mini Medley.  The bird, tag & oval shape were cut out using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge.

 

 



 

The sunshine card was created using the new Surf's Up papers, Hemp Twine & Durables Artisan Studs.  The sun shape was cut out using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge.

 

 

The card below was created by my upline, Lynn Como.  She used the Later Sk8r papers, Lagoon & Outdoor Denim inks, and the Cricut Artiste to cut the balloon shape.

 



I hope you find these ideas inspiring.  If you'd like to place an order for My Sunshine or any other products, you can do so HERE, on my website, and have your order shipped directly to YOU.

Floral Happiness

Spring is in the air, I can feel it!  I am so ready for warmer weather and happy that I live in the northeastern United States and get to experience all 4 seasons.  I cannot wait to wake up to the birds chirping and tulips popping up out of the ground.  Aahhh...someday soon!

But for now I wanted to share a few cards that were created using the March Stamp of the Month-Floral Happiness.  This set is available this month for just $17.95 OR only $5 with a $50 purchase.

The rose images in this set are very pretty and elegant, perfect for second generation stamping and layering.  For these cards, I stamped the rose image 3 different times in different sizes, then cut them all out.  I used 3-D Foam Tape to pop up the layers, giving it more depth and dimension.

 



 

 

 

Here's a couple other beautiful designs created by my upline Lynn and sister consultant Wendy.  They also layered the flower and crumpled it-giving it a different look.  Very pretty! 

 



This set is only available until March 31, 2013.  You can place your order HERE  on my website.  Be sure to JOIN one of my open gatherings during checkout.  As always, if you have any questions, you can reach me at 570-553-2058 or email me at tcorson@stny.rr.com
