GMA Deals & Steals feature Chalk Couture

I was so proud yesterday to see Chalk Couture featured on GMA Today - Deals and Steals.  I joined this company several months ago as an independent designer and have not looked back.  Being so new and innovative, it's exciting to see what the future offers.

If you missed the segment you can see it here. VIEW SEGMENT. It was a quick overview of the products so let me tell you a bit more about it.

Our transfers are actually cloth, so everywhere you see the white there is a fine mesh.  With our paste you spread the color over the white and then lift off the transfer from whatever surface you are decorating.  What's left is a beautiful design that is crisp and pretty.  Here are some highlights you might not know.

• 1.  Our transfers are reusable

• 2.  Our paste will wash off so you can change out your designs

• 3.  You can purchase all kinds of colors, surfaces and transfers on my webpage CLICK HERE TO SHOP. 

• 4.  You can join my VIP FACEBOOK group to be included in specials, ideas and fun, so you didn't miss out on any deals yesterday. 

• 5. You can get up to 40-60% off retail product everyday if you join my team + up to 10% more in free product .  Plus you'll get over $240 in product for only $99.  That's better than the Deals and Steals yesterday.  JOIN MY TEAM  

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have.  My email is lewilliams@bellsouth.net, facebook group is Southern Grace with Lori .  You'll find tutorials, inspiration and ideas with me and I welcome you to Chalk Couture.  

Who's Ready for Chalk Couture

I don't know if you have discovered Chalk Couture yet, but if you haven't you are going to thank me.  This is the most up and coming amazing company to hit the direct sales market.  I saw these products at a Vintage Market Days show and I fell in LOVE!!!!  I immediately signed up to be a designer with them and I'm going full steam ahead.  

Want to see some of the pretties I've made already?

This is a sign I made for my back door.  It's comprised of several different silk screen transfers and a lot of layering.   The best part about these products are they are permanent until you want to remove them.  Just spritz some water and wipe the surface and you're ready to start another project.  For me this awesome cause you can change holiday signs, send sweet messages and let your creative heart sing.  

Here is another project I did using their inks instead of the chalk and once heat set, these are permanent.  This pretty pillow now graces my bed everyday.  

CLICK HERE TO SHOP 

So want to know more about this company?  Be sure to look me up on Facebook , Southern Grace with Lori VIP group or email me lewilliams@bellsouth.net  to find out about specials that are exclusive to my group.

Welcome Baby with CTMH

 

 

I'm in love with the color of the year from Close To My Heart...BASHFUL.  It's this soft muted pink and I love it, don't you.  I thought it was crying out to be made into a baby card, so that's exactly what I did.  The whole card was made with CTMH products including this must have.

 

Click here to get this adorable stamp with coordinating die.  It's so stinkin cute.  Now I just have to figure out how to incorporate this into every project I do, LOL. 

 

For the inside of the card I did an ombre color stamping.  What do you think?

Welcome Spring with Heartfelt Creations

 

 

Heartfelt Creations invites you to usher in the spring season with the new Flowering Dogwood Collection!  Immerse yourself in this newest springtime assembling of designer papers, divinely detailed cling stamps and coordinating dies steeped with beautiful meanings and symbolism perfect for the Easter Season!  The dogwood tree is surrounded by a mesmerizing legend within the Christian faith…once the size of a mighty oak tree it was chosen to be used to construct the cross on which Jesus was to be crucified.  The tree became unhappy with its purpose and would never again grow large enough to ever build another cross.  Its branches would become narrow and crooked and no longer suitable for construction.  The delicate dogwood flower itself is a wonderful symbol of the Easter season…four petals that resemble the shape of a cross, the center laid as a crown of thorns, at the tip of each petal an indent resembling nail punctures, and a reddish hue around those indents resembling the blood of Jesus.  Soft and pastel in coloring, this newest paper collection reveals beautiful springtime shades of pinks, peaches, and greens which set stunning backdrops for scripted lettering and graceful swirls, while darker hints of blues and blacks bring out the gorgeous detail and coloring of the showy dogwood florals.  Bountiful blossom filled branches, peaceful white doves and hillside chapels are just a few of the beautiful illustrations found within the cling stamp sets!  Assemble the perfect dimensional dogwood flower using the varying sized petals within the Flowering Dogwood Cling Stamps Set and die cut using the coordinating dies.  The ideal collection to send out springtime and Easter wishes to friends and family!
