I am so excited to share with all of
you the new Close To My Heart special. We all know that February 14th is just around the corner and that is a day dedicated to
expressing our love and appreciation for the special people in our lives. I
don’t necessarily think that we should only take that opportunity one day a
year on Valentine’s Day though- do you?
This month’s special is called Love Blossoms and when
you see it, you will understand where I am coming from. This kit really got me thinking
about those special people in my life who I need to show some love and
appreciation to. It gave me ideas of some creative ways I can do that.
Of course you should show your significant other some love
all throughout the year, but especially on Valentine’s Day. That’s a given. J But what about your
sister or best friend that is there for you through thick and thin? What about
that co-worker that has helped you get through so many long shifts? If there is
anyone in your life that you would really like to say “I love you” or “Thank
you” to, this kit will help you make the most beautiful cards for that exact
purpose. This kit is perfect to use for any time of the year. No holiday
required.
Let’s take a peek at what you will receive in this kit.
This base kit comes with enough cardstock and envelopes to create 12 cards. You also get a pack of silver embellishing thread to add a little shine to the cards. The color
palette is an array of soft and beautiful pastels.
Save 20% when you order the complete kit which includes a size E (extra large) stamp set, four mini-ink pads and Swiss Dot embossing folder. The exclusive stamp set includes gorgeous layered images to create watercolor floral designs. You’ll also get sentiments like “thank you”, “I appreciate you more than you
know”, “thankful for all you do” “you are so loved” “lucky to have a friend
like you” and “you are fabulous” and more. Note that words for both the front and inside of cards are included.
This stamp set is also free to anyone who hosts a $350 party. This can be a live or virtual event. We still have time to make this happen — give me an email to get started!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hi friends! I hope everyone is having a refreshing new year
thus far! One of my new year resolutions for 2019 was to be more organized and
make more time doing things that make me happy. For me, scrapping and crafting
is a form of self-care. It’s my creative outlet. It’s good for all of us to
find something we really enjoy and spend more time doing that thing. What about
you? Do you have a creative outlet too?
I got super excited when I saw the new Close To My Heart
workshop kit and stamp set. They named it “Heart
Happy” and rightfully so. When you see all the adorable stuff it includes,
it’s going to make your heart happy too!
Even if you aren’t really big into celebrating Valentine’s
Day, that’s okay because this kit is so cute and versatile, it could be used
for a number of things. It’s perfect for couples, yes, but also for kids,
family, friends, spring time, and the list goes on. The possibilities are
endless.
It’s such a fun bundle of goodies! Some of the things you
will discover in the Heart Happy kit
are heart happy stickers, silver glitter gems, red shimmer trim, heart happy
paper packet, A Piece of My Heart Stamp Set, 8 cardstock sheets (such a cute
variety of these), and of course 12 white card bases and envelopes.
Make a love letter, send out handmade valentine cards, make
scrapbook pages… these are just some of the ideas I have floating around in my
head right now. I’m so in love with this kit! J
The sky is the limit on what you can do with this kit, but if you like some project inspiration, click below for a download a FREE WORKSHOP GUIDE that includes the directions for the project below. This includes 2 single-page layouts, 1 two-page layout, 10 cards and 5 tags. Believe it or not, you can make ALL of these projects from a single workshop kit!
If you are excited to try it, just click here to order and start
having some fun! Right now you can get the entire kit + stamp set for the
special price of $40.95 or if you’d like the kit without the stamp set, it’s
available for $35.95. When you place your order, be sure to check that you have the following ink pads: Ballerina, Candy Apple Red, Raspberry & Sapphire (if you are making the projects shown above).
As you can see, there are all kinds of special hand-made
with love goodies you can create with this kit! If you’d like to share any
creations or ideas, please feel free to drop it in the comment section. We can
inspire one another to create some beautiful projects!
Have a Creative Day!

Do you like deals? Do you get excited when you see signs that say 30% off or half price? When you go to your favorite store do you head straight to the clearence rack? If so, I have a secret to share with you!
From time to time, Close To My Heart decides clean house by slashing prices on retired items. The wearhouse can only hold so much so they purposely set the discount low enough to clear off some shelves. These items show up in the Clearence section of my website.
When this happens, the news spreads like wildfire among the consultants and their customers and the products fly out the door. T’his means that if you see something you like, you need to order it while it is still available.
NEWS FLASH: A ton of products were recently added to the Clearence Section!!! These are not old dusty things from the 90’s…these are recently retired items that are still trendy and fabulous. I just placed my order and thought you may be interested in my top 5 deals:
#5 – Valentine’s Day Treat Bags
Yes, that’s right. Just in time for the holiday of love, the Cut Above Treatbags are half price! For jus $7.48, you get 10 bags ready to assemble and fill with candy.
These kits are super easy to put together. Simply fill the plastic bag with your candy, then fold the cardstock wrap around it. Choose a round cancy like Rolos or Kisses to decorate with the stickers before you fill.
Note, Christmas, birthday and halloween treat bags are also being clearenced! Follow this link to see them all.
#4 – Jackson Assortment (and matching comlements)

Just in time for Valentine’s Day:
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I’m in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
*And when you speak, angels, sing from above
Everyday words seem
To turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
Love this sweet love song! I listened to several versions of the song before landing on this beautiful version by Daniela Andrade.
In It is fitting that the gorgeous paper pack with bold black and white designs accented by shades of red is called “La Vie En Rose”.
 |
The simplicity of the patterns makes the beautiful florals jump off the page. Because the reds are only on one patterned paper and zip strips, you are free to add your own accent color. For example teal or yellow would equally look great paired with a black and white design.
The La Vie En Rose collection also includes an Accessory pack of floral (self-adhesive) buttons and Complements mix-material set.
Aren’t they beautiful? See the complete line by clickingHERE.
I am continuing to use my leftover Ivy Lane papers. This card was inspired by another Split Coast Stampers Sketch (see it HERE). I am finding sketches a great way to stretch myself and get out of my ruts so that my projects don’t all look the same. It is also a lot of fun to see what others come up with based on the same drawing but with their own materials and ideas.
The papers for this sketch are from the Ivy Lane paper pack and the sequins and gold shimmer trim are left over from the Ivy Lane card-making workshop on the go. I stamped with Saddle and Hollyhock ink. I sponged the edges of the paper with Saddle ink.
All of the stamping including the adorable little fox is from the February stamp of the month, Wild about Love. This set is only available in February and you can add it to your qualifying order of $50 or more at the discounted price of just $5.
Have you ever used a sketch to design a card? Give it a try — I know you will love the results.
