Beach Card and FREE Catalog


Doesn't this card just make you want to be on a beach somewhere, laying back in a lounge chair, book in hand, with the ocean breeze blowing through your hair?  It certainly does me, especially since we got SNOW, (yes, I said SNOW) here in Utah last night.  Snow on May 17?  Bah humbug!  Good thing I have this card to look at, then close my eyes and be transported to my favorite beach spot!

All of the products I used to create this card can be found in the brand new Expressions 2 publication.  Want one?  All you need to do is go to my website, place an order (be sure to see the May Specials here, as well as checking out the products I've used on this card at the bottom of this post...complete with photos and links. That will give you lots of awesome purchase ideas!), and you'll be given the option to add one for FREE to your order. In the meantime, you can see it page-by-beautiful-page right here.



Here's a little close up of the card.You can see that I've used some Thin 3D Foam Tape to pop up my beach umbrella. Doesn't that add some fun texture and visual interest to the card? I think so!


I hope you enjoyed this fun card. I'm off to close my eyes and imagine myself on a beach.  Brrrr!

Love Card with Instructions and a Card Sketch


Do you have people you LOVE that would LOVE to receive a card like this? If your answer was, "Yes," then you're in luck because....

1.  This beautiful stamp set (Live, Love, Laugh) is available only in May, and can be yours for only $5 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.


2.  I have decided to include paper measurements for you, quick instructions, and a list of all of the products I used (see the very end of this post for that, complete with photos and links to each of those products).  I've even created a fun little sketch of it for you.  I'd love to hear from you with a photo of your card if you use the sketch.  It would be so much fun for me to see your creations!


  • Card size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")
  • White Daisy Cardstock:  4" x 2 1/4", 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" (to stamp flower on), 4" x 1/2" (scalloped on one long side)
  • Blue Striped Piece:  4" x 2 1/2" (I used a piece of paper from the Little Dreamer Paper Packet)
  • Pink Heart Strip: 4" x 1/2"  (I actually used the zip strip from the top of the cloud paper in the Little Dreamer Paper Packet)
Instructions:
  • Using your Black Memento Pad, stamp "LOVE" on the 4" x 2 1/4" White Daisy Cardstock piece.   Then stamp the loopy flower on the 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" White Daisy Cardstock pice.   Let dry for a few minutes, then color in with Tender Pink, Turquoise Blue and Leaf Green Shin Han Markers.
  • Adhere "LOVE" piece 1/8" from bottom of card and equidistant from each side of the card.
  • Adhere Blue Striped Piece 1/8" from top of card and equadistant from each side of the card.
  • Using a scallop punch or scalloped scissors, scallop one long side of the 4" x 1/2" White Daisy piece.  Adhere this peeking out from underside of the 4" x 1/2" Pink Heart Strip. Adhere this to card at the top edge of the LOVE piece.
  • Cut out loopy flower (leaving a small white border) and, using 3D Foam Tape, adhere to the card along the Pink Heart Strip, about even with left side of card.
  • Add a small White Dot to the center of the loopy flower.

Enjoy the sketch!  Again, I'd love it if you contacted me with a photo of your creations if you use the sketch. I'd love to see what you come up with!

A Cupcake Card and a Fun Close To My Heart Event



How cute is this card? We'll talk about that in just a minute (get the stamp set and die cuts I used to make it FREE in March!).  First, let's talk about some serious fun that was had last weekend...

This past Saturday was a very special event with Close To My Heart. We have a brand new mini-catalog coming out on May 1. Close To My Heart Consultants get to see that publication early and even order from it a whole month ahead of customers (just one of the awesome perks of being a CTMH Consultant).

Quite often, when a new mini-catalog is debuting, Close To My Heart has what they call "Launch Events" across the US, Canada and Australia.  Consultants can come and see new things, and make beautiful new projects using the new products in the catalog.  How cool is that?

There were launch events in many cities across the US, and one of them was right near me...in Salt Lake City, UT. I had 21 of my team members attend with me.  In addition, I had team members across the country attending launch events in Anaheim, CA, Sacramento, CA, Andover, MA, Bloomington, MI, Detroit, MI, San Antonio, TX, St. Louis, MO and Alexandria, VA.  In total, 54 of my team members got to experience a launch event, many for the very first time! I have been inundated with messages from first-timers telling me how much they loved every second.  Here are several photos of my team members having a great time!






In Salt Lake City, our day began on Saturday with a team lunch. Unfortunately not everyone who was attending the Launch Event was able to be there early enough for the lunch, but there were still several of us there. We even got our own private room and enjoyed visiting, laughing, and anticipating the new product we would be seeing and playing with in just a couple short hours.

Here we are at our private lunch at Shula's.  You can see my eye in the bottom right hand corner. This is the only photo that day that I am actually in. I was too busy taking photos of all of my team members to actually be in one!
Did you know that if you join my team as a Close To My Heart Consultant, you not only get access to amazing events like these, but you get an awesome discount on your own purchases, AND a very generous commission on your sales? If you choose to build a team like I have, you also earn great overrides on their sales.   And, if you join in March (only 3 days left!), in addition to the inexpensive $75 New Consultant Kit (which is valued at over $200!), you also get this darling Sweet Birthday stamp set and matching die cuts for FREE!  Feel free to contact me with any questions (801.360.9896, pedermom@aol.com), or just click here to sign up in a jiffy.  Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!

I created the 3.5" x 8" card at the very top of this post with this stamp set and dies. Here's a detail shot of the cupcake and candle on the card:

I embossed the cupcake and candle in gold, then used my watercolor paints to softly add color.  I've included a list of all of the products I used on this card, complete with photos and links to the products, at the very end of this post for your convenience.

I'd love to have you join my team! We not only enjoy awesome commissions and discounts, but have such a great time together doing it!
