A Few Things to know.

Each month I will be showcasing ideas and artwork focusing on the use of the current promotions and workshops that are available that month. Some workshops will be at my home, but most will also be available in a kit format that you can do at home as well.

WORKSHOPS ON THE GO: These are monthly workshops that are held in my home, but that can be done on your own as well. The cost for a scrapbook workshop is $29.95 and includes supplies to create a 2-page layout with plenty left over to create more. (last month I made 6 layouts, 8 greeting cards and had almost a full roll of ribbon ($6.95 value), and 3/4 package of embellishments ($5.95 value) left over) You will also get a D-sized stamp set (valued at $17.95) to keep and use over and over. Most kits have a value of about $40 for only $29.95. If the workshop uses cricut embellishments I will cut these out for you so you can still do them at home even without a cricut machine. (ink pads however are not included).

STAMPS OF THE MONTH: Every month CTMH has what they call a stamp of the month D-sized ($17.95 value) stamp set that is only available during that particular month. When it's gone...it's gone! It can be purchased at full retail value, or for anyone spending $50 in other product they can purchase it for just $5.00. Check back regularly to see what this month's stamp set is and for ideas on how to use it.

SPECIALIZED PROJECTS: Ocassionally I will be offering other projects such as home decor ideas, card making workshops, technique classes and seasonal or gift giving ideas. I am hoping that these will be offered both as classes in my home as well as kits that can be done on your own. Keep your eyes on my blog as the holidays are just around the corner.

I am going to try to make a commitment to post more often to my blog. Hopefully at least every other week. (maybe more if I get really motivated!) This week I am focusing on artwork using two different stamp sets from the current catalog A Budding Friendship and Charming Chevrons.  And to promote this new commitment of mine I will give the Charming Chevrons stamp set free to anyone who places a $30 order by Saturday August 8th.
 

 

 

A Budding Friendship -D1602 - $17.
Charming Chevrons - A1150 - $6.95
 
Ok...so what I have created to showcase these two stamp sets is one card using the budding friendship stamp set, one card using the charming chevrons, and one 12x12 scrapbook layout using both. I have also incorporated a few paperscraps left over from our upcoming August Workshop using the Zoe Product line, some coral shimmer trim, green triangles and a couple of the stickers from the Zoe complements, along with some already discontinued washi tape and soon to be discontinued sparkle chevrons. The Hello sentiment came from another stamp set.  I also used the following inks and/or cardstock; sorbet, glacier, leaf green, topiary, lagoon and canary, and smoothie.

12x12 page layout
 
What I really love about the Budding Friendship stamp set is that is a layering stamp set. You stamp the outer flower and and leaves in a darker color and then stamp the inner with a lighter color giving it a layer look.

 
The Zoe Product line which accompanies this artwork is from the new catalog and will be available soon!
