The perfect solution for scrappin' moms-on-the-go!

Are you a busy, busy, busy mom?  Now that school has started, this defines me so well!  Between the hours of 2:30PM and 8:30PM my role of a mom is filled with picking up my kids at school, getting them to where they need to be, and waiting, waiting, waiting.  With any given activity, there isn’t time to go home – even if I wanted to – so I wait, wait and wait some more.  During my boys’ soccer practices, I have access to a great walking path, but for all of their other activities, as well as the 45-minute wait in the car-line to pick up my kids from school, there isn’t access or that same option.  I work my Close To My Heart business as a full time job, and in doing so, I cannot lose 6 hours a day, 5 days a week (WOW!  That is 30 hours a week – almost a full time job in itself!)!  I need some of this time to be productive time!  My solution has been this awesome Create Kindness Card Kit!  The kit comes all bundled neatly in a sturdy, handled, Mini-Organizer that has space for the 8 mini stamps, a 2” block, a mini-ink pad, as well as the card bases and envelopes that are in included in the kit.  In addition, there is still room for my bone folder, scissors, a few markers, 3-d foam tape, adhesive runner, a craft container filled with embellishments, a few rolls of ribbon or shimmer trim and my journaling pen!  Awesome right??!  I can now just grab my case, my marker roll (if I want even more colors) and Versa Mat and I have simple, easy projects without packing the kitchen sink!  Love, love, love it!  Now, I can create class samples, thank you cards for my customers, notes for teachers and more on the go!

The Create Kindness Kit is only available during the month of September, and while supplies last.  You can purchase the kit for $46.95 (plus shipping and tax) on my website at: www.tonyasheridan.ctmh.com.  Additional bases and envelopes may be purchased as well as the mini stamps individually. 

When you purchase the complete Create Kindness Card Kit on my website, or with me directly, I will also send you a mini stamp set from our new Holiday Expressions Idea Book to add to your kit!

Create Kindness cards - Love

Today, I am continuing to create kindness by sharing cards that I have created with this adorable kit. This particular card adds more color than the previous two cards, and of course, if you are creating them on your own, you can change the colors, or the sentiments, to your colors of preference.

The finished card size is the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Instructions to create this card:

1.  Cut two 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" strips of Pansy Cardstock.  Emboss them with an embossing folder,  of your choice, and adhere to the top and bottom edges of the card fronts.

2.  Cut piece of Lagoon cardstock to 3" x 4 1/4".  Adhere to the card front so that it is centered between the two pieces of Pansy pieces.  This should be flush with the left and right of the card base.

3.  Cut a pennant to 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" from the Create Kindness patterned piece.  Next, cut a pennant in the 1 1/2" end.  Adhere the flat edge flush with the top of the card base approximately 1/2" from the right card front edge.

4.  Stamp the Create Kindness - Love stamp with Black Archival ink onto the pre-cut White Daisy Circle.

5. Color the stamped image as desired with the Turquoise Blue, Leaf Green, and Lavender ShinHan Twin Touch Markers as shown, or alter as desired.

7.  Adhere the colored circle with 3-d Foam Tape directly below the pennant.

8.  Tie a bow, and knot ends, with Thistle Baker's Twine (retired - can substitute White Daisy Baker's Twine - either left white or colored with Thistle Exclusive Ink Pad or re-inker).  Adhere with a Mini-glue dot below the sentiment circle.

9.  Write a sentiment on the inside of the card and share with a friend, stranger, or loved one!

If you would like to create these cards, and don't have the supplies on hand, you can join me on Saturday, September 17th at the Harrisonburg Hotel at my Create Kindness event.  This will be one of the cards available to create in my card buffet.  For details on this event, visit:  Sassy Broadway Scrapers Meet-Up Group or my Calendar of Events Page here on my blog.

Create Kindness Friend Card

Tonight, I would like to share a card from this weeks card Club that we created with the Create Kindness Card Kit.  I, am a pink loving, "sassy" kind of gal, so this card featuring our new Raspberry color was my favorite from the class.

The finished card size is the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Instructions to create this card:

1.  You will note that the front of the card was embossed.  This was done on a White Daisy Value Card using the Cuttlebug and a dotted embossing folder that has recently retired, but you could easily accomplish a similar look with the Confetti Embossing Folder.

2.  Along the fold of the card, adhere a 1/2" x 5 1/2" strip of Raspberry cardstock.

3.  Using Pixie Baker's Twine (now retired) - substitute with White Daisy Baker's Twine - could color twine if desired with Pixie Exclusive Ink Pad or Pixie Re-inker - wrap twine around the front of the Raspberry strip to the inside of the card and tie with a small knot.

4.  Cut the pink striped Create Kindness base in half at the seam leaving a 3" x 3" half.  Adhere, as desired, the top portion of the card with 3-d Foam Tape.

5.  Stamp the Create Kindness - Friend stamp with Black Archival ink onto the pre-cut White Daisy Circle.

6.  Color the stamped image as desired with the Cherry Pink and Tender Pink ShinHan Twin Touch Markers as shown, or alter as desired.

7.  Adhere the colored circle to the center of the striped square with 3-d Foam Tape.

8.  Write a sentiment on the inside of the card and share with a friend, stranger, or loved one!
