Love and Hugs Card with CAS



There is a sketch site called CAS...which has some fun card sketches.  CAS stands for "Clean and Simple"...which, if you know me, know is something that is difficult for me to do...but something I really WANT to learn.  I decided to play along.  This card may not look simple, but it WAS! I only stamped one thing (the sentiment) and the rest is just paper, matching complements, and a small bit of embellishing. This card took all of 10 minutes. Keep reading to find out what I used. Almost everything I used is retiring on July 31 (or while supplies last...whichever comes first) and you can get them on my website.  You can see the complete retiring list in yesterday's post.

Here is the sketch:


The products I used on this card that are retiring on July 31 are (see photos and links for all the products I used at the very bottom of this post):


Tips from this card:
  1. I sponged the edge of everything with a sponge and my black stamp pad to make things really pop.
  2. I used 3D Foam Tape on the smaller flower to make it pop and add dimension to the card.
  3. Combining patterns adds lots of visual interest without a lot of work.

September Play Group Scrappin' Class Layouts (Laughing Lola)


I left one week ago today for Cedar City, UT to be there for our son, Tannon as he had shoulder surgery. It was something we knew was coming but it was Tuesday when they scheduled the surgery for Wednesday. Crazy sauce!  It ended up being much more complicated than they thought, which made for a very helpless and in pain Tannon. I am home again and ready to blog! Thanks for your patience!

Today I am sharing the layouts we will be making in my September Play Group Scrappin' Classes.  Although it's too late to participate in person, it's not too late to order a kit long-distance.  If you would like to order a kit, please have your orders to me no later than September 20. (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com) THANKS!

If you are participating long-distance, just add $5 to your kit total.  I'm confident you will enjoy what we do and be very happy with the projects you make! I had fun choosing photos to go with this funky, trendy and bold paper!  I even added a bit of Sunset cardstock in to make a Halloween layout. Cool beans!

Baby Card for Mojo Monday and Close To My Heart New Products Installment #3


Be sure to check out yesterday's post and enter to win a brand new Designed Decor Frame Kit ($43.85 value).

Ready for some more new products?  I'd love to share the new paper packs that made their debut on August 1 in the brand new Autumn/Winter Idea Book. There are 6 of them (Baby Cakes, Laughing Lola, ProPlayer, Huntington, Sarita and Frosted)  and they are all delicious.  I've already stocked up with at least one of each!  As you read about each pack, notice that I've provided links to the products I'm referring to on my website  for your convenience.

1. Baby Cakes Paper Pack:  The card you see at the top of this post was made with the Baby Cakes papers.   I love that they can work for baby items, but also are versatile enough for so many other things.  The trendy greys, yellows, oranges and browns in this kit make it perfect for boys pages, girl pages, Autumn pages, family photos and so much more than baby pages and projects. And, with all of the matching accent stickers and bling you can get to go along with it, it's a must have!

I used the Baby Cakes papers to create this card inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch. 

Here's a close up of the card. The products used list is at the very bottom of this post.

Here is some more artwork made with Baby Cakes by the fabulous Art Department at Close To My Heart:

2.  Laughing Lola Paper Pack:  This paper pack is bright, fun, bold and fashionable!  I recently used it to complete this layout (based on one done by the CTMH Art Department) of our dancing daughter-in-law, Daysha. We will actually be making this layout, along with 2 more at my September Play Group Scrappin' Classes.  Be watching in a week or two for the announcement of this kit and how to purchase it then. Anyway, CTMH has also provided all kinds of fun accent options that match this paper packet.


This beautiful home decor item was created using Laughing Lola by the Art Department:

3.  ProPlayer Paper Pack:  I love this pack! The blues, greys, reds and blacks combine for such a masculine feel.  The matching accents are just perfect too!  Whether you want to use this packet theme specific for "gaming" photos, or whether you just want to include some photos of your boy(s), sports photos, family photos, or even swimming photos (the possibilities are endless!) you'll love the way they are complemented by these papers!  I can't wait to scrapbook some of my boys' sports photos on this paper. The matching accents are killer too!

How cute is this new Flip Stand Album?  Love it too!

4.  Huntington Paper Pack:  Don't you feel warm just looking at it?  It's full of warm, cozy, Autumn feeling colors and combines that with elegance. In fact, I almost want to redecorate my home to match.  Looking at these papers makes me feel like I'm all snuggled up in a warm family room by the fireplace.  Just gorgeous. The matching accents perfectly complement the elegantly warm papers as well.

Beautiful layout using the Huntington papers made by the CTMH Art Department.

5. Sarita Paper Pack:  Blues, golds, oranges and geometric prints!  Perfection.  These papers, along with their matching accents are so versatile, they really can be used for ANYTHING!

6.  Frosted Paper Pack:  Calm, cool and collected. That's exactly how I'd describe this paper pack.  I love it for Christmas and/or Winter photos, as well as anything you really want to see POP.  Bright colored photos would really take center stage on these muted, soft colored papers.  Beautiful! The matching accents are equally as "cool"!

As promised, here is the CTMH products used list for the Baby Cakes card I created and shared at the top of the post:  New Arrival Stamp Set, Baby Cakes Paper Pack, Whisper Cardstock, White Daisy Value Pack Cards and Envelopes, Chocolate Stamp Pad, Watercolor Pencils, Just Blooms Paper Flowers (retired), Honey Mini Medley (retired), 3D Foam Tape.

Have a great day!

Baby Cards for Mojo Monday


I thought I'd play along this week with Mojo Monday! I always enjoy the weeks when they give a circular card and a square card option. I love circle cards and quite often make them and it's always fun to get a new sketch idea. I decided to do both the circle and square since I actually need a boy baby card and a girl baby card this week.

Before we get too far into this post, I'd like to quickly remind you that today is the last day of July, which means today is the last day to take advantage of the Close To My Heart July specials. Click here to read about them.
