Expressions II 2016 - Last Few Days to Order

This beautiful publication is saying it's last goodbye on August 31 at 11:59 MST (tomorrow!) to make new for the Holiday Expressions publication that will debut on September 1.  If there is anything you want or need (hard keeping those two straight sometimes!), get it now!  Here's a link to view this beautiful publication page by delicious page (scroll down a bit, the first book you see is the annual book and that one is still good through July 2017.  The Expressions II is a just below that.), and here's a link to the shopping portion of my website to get your goodies.  Happy shopping!

Seasonal Expressions 2 New Products

In yesterday's post, I mentioned that we have a brand new mini-catalog that debuted on April 1.  Today I thought I'd share a bit of what is in it. Be sure to stop by tomorrow when I'll be sharing some art and a fun technique with some of the new products.

It would be an overly long post to share EVERYTHING in this delicious little mini,  so I'm sharing some of my faves. You can see ALL of the products by viewing this catalog online here.  I've also included direct links to each product.  You can also order any of them on my website, 24/7.

Here's how I've organized this post:
1. New Collections
    A.  Blossom
    B.  Jackson
2.  My Favorite New Stamp Sets
3.  My Favorite New Mini's
4.  My Favorite New Embellishments
5.  Albums

1.  New Collections:

A.   Let's start with Blossom:  This collection is full of bright, fun, happy Spring/Summer colors that will make your mouth water.  You can purchase the Paper Pack, Complements Stickers, a matching Accessories Assortment, and even a Card Making Kit!

B.  Now on to Jackson.  Whether you have boys, love the outdoors, have great family photos, or just love rich, gorgeous colors in general, this collection is for you!  You can purchase the Paper Pack, Complements Stickers, a matching Accessories Assortment, or a Scrapbooking Kit. In addition, there is even a matching Picture My Life card set for all of you pocket scrapbookers out there (they are also darling made into cards, gift tags, or as an accent to traditional scrapbook pages).

 

2.  My Favorite New Stamp Sets:  SE2 also features LOTS of fun new stamp sets.  To help you judge size, keep in mind that the carrier sheets that these sets come on are approximately 6" x 6".  Here are a few of my favorites:

Wavy Blooms

Dizzy Circles

Diploma Day

The Authentic Life

The Best Dad Ever

Documenting Moments

3.  My Favorite New Mini's: Among the new mini's in this book are two beauitful mini-crush books.  They each have 30 - 4" x 6" pages in a mix of styles (printed vellum, printed cardstock-weight papers, mini page protectors) with an exposed spiral spine. 

My Crush for Her

My Crush for Him

 

4.  My Favorite New Embellishments: 

Boardwalk Washi Tape Pack or Carnival Washi Tape Pack

Glacier or Thistle Extra Thick Twine

Coral Reef  or Oceanside Sequins

5. Albums:  As you know, we already have beautiful albums in 3 different finishes:  Black, Lagoon Chevron or Ruby Floral.  SE2 brings in 2 more:  Cocoa Damask and Slate Circles. All of our albums are available in either post-bound or d-ring styles.

Cocoa Damask (in either post-bound or d-ring)

2.  Seasonal Expressions 2
3.  April Stamp of the Month - Typed Note
-------------------

1. Deal of the Day:

Love a great deal? How about 30 days of great deals? During the month of April, you have the opportunity to score a deal every day with Close To My Heart! What deals are we talking about? Each day during April, while supplies last, we’ll feature a random grab bag filled with current and retired Close To My Heart products available for purchase at a major discount. To grab your bag, simply place any current, full-priced item in your online shopping cart on my website and you will then be eligible to purchase as many grab bags as you wish (while supplies last)! Grab bags will be featured at five different price points throughout the month, ranging from $35  to $150 (US value). Some grab bags will contain product with more than DOUBLE the retail value of the price you pay! Grab bags will be available for 24 hours starting at 3:00 pm MDT each day and only while supplies last—so visit often and early! Remember that grab bag tiers will be featured on a random schedule throughout the month, so seize the opportunity to purchase from the grab bag tier you’re interested in when it becomes available because it might not come around again!

Our brand new mini-catalog goes love today, April 1.  You can see it here and order easily right on my website.  Would you like your own copy for FREE? If so, just email me (pedermom@aol.com) with your address (US residents only) and I'll pop one in the mail to you pronto!

3.  April Stamp of the Month - Typed Note:  I might be giving away my age here, but I remember using a typewriter almost exactly like this in my high school typing class.  Yep, seriously...complete with white out in a bottle, manual return and sticky keys that I had to remember to push a little bit harder.  This Stamp of the Month is a MUST HAVE for me.  You don't have to be old enough to remember using a typewriter like this to need it though. It's cute enough for all of you "young 'uns" too! *wink*

This set is yours for only $5 ($12.95 savings) during April only when you spend $50 (before shipping and tax).  Spend $100 and get 2, and so on.  Head on over to my website to start shoppin'!  You'll be prompted to add your set(s) before you check out.

FREE Catalog and a Sneak Peek

As you know, our Seasonal Expressions 1 mini-catalog is ending on March 31 (Tuesday).  I posted all of the retiring products on Wednesday for you to purchase before they're gone (March 31).  Our Seasonal Expressions 2 (SE2) mini begins on April 1.  I'd love to send you one (US residents only). If you email me with your address (pedermom@aol.com), I'll pop one in the mail to you pronto, for FREE!

In the spirit and excitement of the new SE2, I thought I'd post a tiny sneak peek (see top photo).  I will be unveiling this card, and several others, using this fun technique and products from the new SE2 book, complete with instructions on how to do it yourself, on April 3.  That's only a week from today.  Be sure to stop back by.

In the meantime, as mentioned above, email me (pedermom@aol.com) with your name and mailing address, and I'll pop the SE2 mini in the mail to you right away so you'll be ready to start purchasing on April 1.
