Close To My Heart Embossing folders......

So, I have quite a few embossing folders and hardly ever use them.  Recently I saw some really pretty simple but elegant cards using embossing folders and embellishments.  So today I sat down and played.  It has been so long, but I had fun.  So here are the results.

I ordered some thin dies the other day from Spellbinders, this is the poppy die I received yesterday.

I used Sea Glass ink and inked the inside of the embossing folder before I ran the White Daisy cardstock through it.  I used CTMH's Blush shimmer ribbon.  I used the Poppy thin die to cut the poppy out of White Daisy cardstock and then used a sponge dauber to add ink to the petals. I cut the leaves and center out of Sea Glass cardstock.

This one I inked with Sea Glass ink too. I used a Stampin Up flower punch and a Martha Stewart fern punch.  I also used CTMH's Blush shimmer ribbon.  I used some thin ribbon I've had for a long time. I used the It's your day stamp from a Petite Perks stamp set and and stamped it in Sea Glass ink and sponged Sea Glass ink on the 3 banners that I tucked under the Smoothie cardstock flower. I also used stickles glitter glue for the flower center.

This one, I added Sea Glass ink to the embossing folder before I embossed it too. I punched the flowers out of burlap with the Stampin Up flower punch. I cut 2 banners from Hello Lovely paper and added the thin ribbon. I added 2 and 3 layers of foam tape to the backs of the flowers so that they have a little dimension.  I also used CTMH's Blush shimmer ribbon on this card.  The flower centers are retired embellishments from CTMH as well.

If you like these cards please leave me a comment below about your favorite one.

DIY Succulent Wreath Kit from Close To My Heart

Here is a video on how to put the wreath together at home.



You can add dimension by sponging the edges with ink.

My Friend Leslie Malnik-Miller‎ created this one using these items and look how beautiful it turned out.

Here are some products to consider when ordering your wreath.
• Adhesives: We have a variety of adhesives that will make assembling the wreath kit easier, particularly Glue Dots™ (1772) and Liquid Glass (Z679).
• Quilling Tool (Z1795): This crafting staple will really come in handy when rolling the 3-D flowers included in the wreath kit.
• Sponge Daubers (Z726): Explain to customers that if they want even more dimension on their wreath, they can add shading to the succulents and flowers by sponging a little color along the edges. Be sure to offer your favorite colors of Exclusive Inks™ stamp pads to use for the shading!
• Spray Pen (Z1380): This product is another fun way to add color to the wreath, especially when paired with your favorite color of Exclusive Inks™ re-inker.
• Watercolor Paints (Z3132): Watercoloring is still making waves in the world of crafting, so be sure to share this item with any new customers, along with our awesome waterbrushes (Z3224, Z4225, or Z3226).

• Cut Above™ Layout Kits: Anyone who loves the pre-cut pieces in the wreath kit is sure to love our new Cut Above™ layout kits, which also feature pre-cut pieces that just need to be assembled. 

I will have my wreath done soon and will post it here so you can see the difference.

Are you a fan of goal setting?

I have never been one who liked to set goals.  I probably should, but my life tends to get in the way and I always feel like I am failing if I can't meet them.

Do you have any advice for me?

How can I set goals and not feel like a failure?


Do you use Vision Boards to help you meet your goal?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

January - National Paper Crafting Month.

Every January, we celebrate National Papercrafting Month as a way of acknowledging the pure joy of playing with paper! We scrapbook with it, we make cards with it, we decorate with it—in short, we craft with it! This January, we’ll be celebrating the joys of paper-crafted home décor with the beautiful Welcome Home wreath kit. This kit comes with pre-cut pieces you can simply pop out and attach to the sturdy chipboard wreath base, making a welcoming décor piece for your home. Here are all the ways you can get the wreath kit!

1. Purchase the Welcome Home wreath kit outright for $18.95 with no qualifying purchase.

2. Earn it FREE with a qualifying $60 purchase, plus you can add the Stamp of the month for just $5.00 more.

3. Earn a FREE Welcome Home wreath kit when you host a Gathering that reaches the second level of Hostess Rewards ($250.00 or more).

4. Receive a FREE Welcome Home wreath kit in your New Consultant Kit when you sign up to become a new Consultant in January.

All you really need to put this wreath together is adhesive. I would recommend liquid glass, as it will be a permanent hold. You could also use some ink pads to add some extra dimension to the flowers and succulents. If you don't have sponge daubers, a sponge cut into wedges will work well too. A quilling tool would be helpful as well. 

I would love to have you over to put your wreaths together, plan on 2 hours give or take a few minutes. Call me 503-708-6889 to get added to the list.  

Happy New Year!!!

Janice
