Back To School Card

Every mom and grandmother of a school aged child needs this set! It's not only perfect for scrapbooking those school memories, but it's great for cards for the kids and teachers.

This set is only available in August and is yours for only $5 ($12.95 savings) with every $50 you purchase (before shipping and tax).  Order $100, get 2...and so on.  When ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before checking out. Easy, peasy!

August Stamp of the Month- School Year. Carrier sheet size is approximately 6" x 6"

What kid or teacher wouldn't love this card on the first day of school, complete with an apple (or apple pie!), or a bundle of brand new pencils, or even inside their lunch?

Here's a close up. I used our watercolor pencils to color in my pencils, but didn't use any water. Our watercolor pencils are awesome with water, but also on their own, just used like regular colored pencils.

Two Toned Cardstock, New Neutrals, a Die Cut Alphabet and a Brand New Cricut Collection

As you may or may not know, we have a brand new Annual Inspirations Catalog that debuted on August 1. It's dynamite!  There are so many fun, new things!  You can view that catalog page-by-delicious page here.  After that you can click here to order.

I wanted to talk about a few of the new things that have me like...

via GIPHY

1.  Two Toned Cardstock: Yes!  All of our cardstocks are now 2-toned. There is a darker shade on one side and a lighter shade of the same color on the back. This makes your cardstock twice as nice!  There are 40 colors to choose from, or you can even purchase them in 10 color combo packs (like the Whimsy collection you see below). Check them all out here.  Not only that, all 4 colors have matching stamp pads, pigment pads, and re-inkers to match. You can find the inks here.

We have also added a brand new Color of the Year (available for 1 year only) called Bashful!  It's a gorgeous soft pink, right on trend, and is a must have. It comes in cardstock (two-toned of course), a stamp pad and a pigment pad, as well as some fun embellishments to match.  Find those products here.

2.  New Neutral Color Palette:  We have 10 new neutrals that are sure to please! I love that although they are neutrals, they are still trendy. Close To My Heart has made sure that they have chosen basics that are the basics you are seeing in home decor and fashion right now. We would never want to miss staying in style!

The colors are Charcoal, Pewter, Pebble, Linen, Mink, Heather, Espresso, Nutmeg, Toffee, and Almond.  Delicious. All of these colors come in Cardstock, Stamp Pads, Pigment Pads, Reinkers, and even a Fundamental Patterned Paper Package.

3.   A Die Cut Alphabet to Die For!:  Yep, I am doing back handsprings over this one. I love it!  The letters dies are approximately 1 1/2" high, and the font is so versatile it can go with any style. It's a must have in my studio! I love that I can cut any paper or color I want, and make titles that say whatever I want! SCORE!  Get yours here.

4.  A Brand New Cricut Collection: Although this "You Are Here" collection focuses on travel, there is so much more to enjoy as well!  I already have it in my hot little hands and have been cut, cut, cutting away! It comes with a 700 image cartridge (or digital download, whichever you choose, depending on which Cricut machine you own), 3 stamp sets that coordinate with the cuts on this cartridge (valued at $53.85 on their own) and a package of Enchantment Combo Pack of two-toned  cardstock (24 sheets).  Get yours here.

Here is a link to the shape index so you can see all of your 700 options with this cartridge.

The items I've highlighted above are just a small sampling of the new products in the brand new catalog.  There are even more to drool over!  Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm here to help (pedermom@aol.com, 801.360.9896).

It doesn't have to be straight from you.  I would need your order no later than July 31.  For this deal, I'd need you to contact me directly to place your order or to let me know you want to do this and I'll set up a special link on my website for you (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com)
