July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Thank you for hopping over from Crafty Carol's Blog  
LIFE IS WONDERFUL!

 I decided to use the Bokeh technique with my July projects 
and it is so much fun.

 Here we have two cards with the Bokeh technique on a Cricut cut. The project in the middle is little fold out album you can easily carry in your bag.  It will hold five photos.

Here is the inside of one card and the way the foldout album looks for 
showing your "wonderful" pictures!
I put the album in a trimmed 4x6 Flip Flap for protection.
 
Now please continue your creative ideas tour to Lauren's Blog
I am sure she has something "wonderful" awaiting you!

With Heart,

Pam

Kids' Summer Scrapbooking Class

As a busy parent, you might not have time to capture the memories of your children

on paper but I am firmly convinced that they can learn to scrapbook the events that have

meaning to them and learn many valuable skills in the process.

Announcing my Summer Scrapbooking Classes for Kids

Purchase the kit for $27 and get four 2 hour classes FREE

to learn the art of preserving memories in an artful way.

My $27 kit includes:

A Crush book of your choice

A package of coordinating accessories

One pack Small Assortment Flip Flaps

One bottle adhesive

AND if ordered soon in June, a coordinating

stamp set ($9.95 value)

There are four Crush books I am offering.  

You can see them in our online Idea Book

at pamsheartart.ctmh.com

Go to Products  and Idea Books.  Select  Annual Inspirations

Your selection can be made from My Crush In the Pink Book page 150,

My Crush Wildwood Book  page 152,

My Crush Modville Book page 156  or

My Crush Bluebird Book page 157.

The sooner you let me know which book you select, the better.  

I am thinking classes will start  Tuesday, June 16th in the morning.  I will work with you

if that is not a good time for you.  I prefer students be at least 8 years old to benefit

the most from classes.

May Stamp of the Month Bloghop

Welcome as you have arrived from Kathleen's Blog
I am sure you have been blessed with many ideas for this stamp set.

 I chose to make Sunburst cards using these stamps and our 
Taste Of Summer papers available only in May.

Let me show you how to make a Sunburst card!

Cut three pieces of paper or cardstock to a 4 x 5 1/4 inch size.
Here I used some of the orange paper from Taste of Summer and it's opposite side
along with Topiary cardstock.

Stack the three sheets on top of each other and make cuts through all three pieces
that end at one point (at the bottom here).

Separate the paper pieces and arrange them so they will fit on a piece of cardstock
4 x 5 1/4.  Glue them into place.  You may either leave a narrow space between pieces as 
shown in the lemon cards at the top, or glue all pieces next to each other.
If you leave a space, you will need to trim pieces since they will hang over the edge
of the 4 x 5 1/4 base.
Mount on a standard card base  (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded in half) and you will have
a border around the edge.  
The other papers in Taste of Summer have strawberries with a pink reverse side,
lemons with a yellow side, limes with a flowered side and a 
variety fruit page with a dark pink reverse. Be watching for the posts about 
Taste of Summer.
Now hop on over to  Jeanie Burch's Blog  
for more inspiration you will enjoy.

With Heart,

Pam

Some Taste of Summer Samples

Close To My Heart is featuring the Taste of Summer papers in May to celebrate

National Scrapbooking Month.

You can purchase a set of these papers for $8.95.  There are six different papers and you

get 2 of each.  There is a coordinating reverse side to the papers.   Here are some things I have made with the papers to give you an idea of how fresh and fun they are!  The reverse side is the medallion background for the Sweet Treats stamp.

 See my post about the May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for cards using this paper and how to make a Sunburst Card.  Great Fun!!!!!!

April's Joy of Creativity is found in the projects prepared for you

Just think of the meaning behind the use of the paper and you

to let me know the project you choose and when you would like to do it.

 First up are the Stamp of the Month cards.  

 You will see I chose special days to put on the typewriter paper and decorated around
the typewriter with special Cricut cuts  from Art Philosophy and Artiste.  These little sayings fit perfectly in the March Stamp of the Month frames of Choose Happy too.  (Thank you Verna for that suggestion.)  Make all three cards for a $15 order before shipping and tax either in a Heart Art class or be a hostess for a gathering where you and friends can make them.  

April's Scrapbook Plus class features the Seaside papers.

An Opportunity Like No Other

At Close To My Heart we talk about our "why" for becoming a consultant.

Here's mine:  In 1997 during a 3 1/2 month period, I had two children get

married over 1100 miles away and both of my parents died.  If you check 

the "high stress events" you will find those things included.  That period of

time left me feeling emotionally bankrupt I guess you could say.

The Spring after this happened, I was invited to a stamping party.

I had always loved art and the way I could create beautiful artwork with stamps

intrigued me.  After another year of working through things, I signed up to be 

a consultant.  That was 15 1/2 years ago.  I still love the creative process and 

making pretty things to give away or scrapbook pages to hold special memories.

With Close To My Heart, Ron and I have traveled places we never would have.

Some were conventions:  Long Beach, CA, Portland, OR, Washington DC, Orlando, Florida.

The most exciting trip was a Mediterranean cruise where we visited, Barcelona, Spain,

Pompeii,  Rome, Pisa and Monte Carlo.  My lifelong dream of seeing the

Sistine Chapel and Michaelangelo's  magnificent art was realized on this trip.

I receive so much joy from sharing projects to make with people and have made

many friends along the way.  Now that I am retired, CTMH provides something I can

offer and it keeps my brain humming.  Ha!

So here's the deal:  In March you can sign up to be a consultant and receive the shoulder tote

pictured here FREE.  (It is a $26.95 value.  I have one and love mine!  Note the bling!)
These are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, just so you know.

 But that's not all!  If you have $300 in sales your first 40 days, you will get the rolling tote 
(little circle picture)  FREE too!  It's a honey!
You may pick between a cardmaker starter kit 

or a scrapbooking starter kit for only $99.

Each kit has over $300 of product and supplies in it--a value for sure.
If you join my team, the Heart Artists, I can support you with cutting guides and 
instructions for the projects I do.  No need to live in my area.  In fact, I didn't meet
my upline until I had been a consultant for a year and it worked just fine.
If you have questions, please email me at pajarrett@comcast.net.  I would be
happy to respond as my upline did for me.  It is a decision I have never regretted.

From your Heart Artist,

Pam Jarrett

March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

So "hoppy" you have arrived here from 
Lauren Moore's CTMH Craftings Blog

Our heat embossing was calling my name with this stamp set.  Then I wanted to add color with the Shin Han markers.

 The "Choose Happy" frames are the perfect setting for our singly purchased
Monogram stamps.  Each monogram is $2.95.  Then using a sponge, you can work the ink
color of your choice (Indian Corn Blue here) in the crevices of the embossed image..
To finish the monogram, I cut it out with our 1 1/4" punch.  It is much easier to
center the monogram that way.

 I thought the frames would be perfect for embellishing some fold-out mini albums to identify the family connection.  Again they were colored in with our Shin Han Markers
 after being embossed with Gold embossing powder.

Now hop on over to Paper Crafting Princess 
by consultant Tracey Pierce.  I am sure you will enjoy your journey!

Until next time,

Pam   

March Heart Art Projects and Schedule

What has kept me excitedly creating projects for you for 15 1/2 years?

The possibilites for beautiful artwork are amazingly endless--that's what!

For March, the Scrapbook Plus and the Stamp of the Month cards were

made with the Hopscotch papers.  Here's a look:

 The Stamp of the Month cards use Gold Embossing colored in with the Shin Han markers.

Then I loved the way the stamp frames were perfect for our Monogram stamps also embossed in Gold then the crevices sponged with color.  You will love learning this technique.  The cost for this class is you get to make the three cards FREE when you have a minimum $15 order before shipping and tax.  This is the perfect way to practic the technique and be able to build your supplies.  Please let me know if you wish to make the Stamp of the Month cards as your project.

 The idea for the Scrapbook Plus class (pictured above) is for you to make 2 layouts and six cards so you use almost all of the papers in a paper packet.  Just look how much you go home having completed.  This project is $25 and everything will be cut and packaged, ready for you to put together.  Let me know soon if you wish to make the Scrapbook Plus in March.

 This is the Cardmaker Supreme Class for March.  Make 10 cards with the Monogram of your choice.  Learn the graduated color technique as well as

heat embossing with Gold powder.  Cost is $15 and envelopes are included.

Let me know if the Cardmaker Supreme is the choice for your March project.

*******************

If you do not see a time that will work for you to make your project in March, please give me a call or email.  I am happy to work with you at another time.

If you would like to host a class in your home, I am available for that too.

Let's talk about it!
