Only 2 more days for STAMPAGANZA at Close To My Heart!!!

The AMAZING STAMPAGANZA stamp set sale is coming to an end!!  

With March just 2 days away, I thought I'd share a card I created recently, using some of my favorite stamp sets. 

My cousin is getting married, and we had a surprise bridal shower for her last Saturday.  She has already mailed us her wedding invitations (that she handmade), and used the CTMH colors of Thistle, Eggplant, & Fern.  So, I did my best to create a card for her using these same colors - and this was the result. J 

I used 3 stamp sets...and 2 of these stamps are apart of the STAMPAGANZA sale that is happening this month at Close To My Heart!  

The flower stamp, came from the current Workshop On the Go (WOTG) kit of La vie En Rose.  I ADORE these workshop kits, and they become extra special because of the EXCLUSIVE stamp set that is included int his kit!!  While this stamp set is not apart of Stampaganza - it is definitely a stamp I will use over, and over again.  

Here's a picture of what's all included in the La Vie En Rose WOTG kit....there are so many beautiful items in this kit!!! The included stamp set DOES coordinate with our newest Cricut Cartridge at CTMH - Artistry! 

Do you see the other two stamp images I used?   

Here's a close up of my created card...

The words come from a GREAT wedding stamp set called "The Happy Couple".  Check out all these images!!!

This stamp is a D-size, meaning it's a $17.95 stamp set & you can see how useful this will be in upcoming projects!  I know we have about 4 weddings we are attending this coming spring....time to get those wedding cards created! 

The other stamp is one that I talk about quite often (sorry...but not really ;) ) is the "Ink Blot" stamp set  and it is one I will use over & over again - even after it is retired.  It's just "one of those stamp sets" that I will always love, and will use in a variety of ways.  Take a look at all of the FUN images in this stamp set.  

The paper that I used for most of this card, is our FABULOUS white-cored cardstock.  But take a look at the strip of green "cardstock" to the left of the card...do you see it?  See the shimmer, glossy design on the paper?  This cardstock is from our BEAUTIFUL, Fundamentals Cardstock collection.  I LOVE the versatility of using the GLOSSY side OR the printed side...it's up to you for YOU to choose!!  

So...now you are set with the products I used, and you can head to your creative room to create one of your own! 

Here is a reminder of the details, of what this stamp set SALE is all about.....

Buy any two My Acrylix® stamp sets (M-, A-, B-, C-, D-, or E-size) at full retail price and get a third stamp set of equal or lesser value FREE! 

That is a savings of up to $29.95! This offer is only available during March, so start submitting your stamp orders as soon as possible, and let the Stampaganza begin! 

That’s all for today, and don't forget about the ADORABLE March Stamp of the month stamp set you can get for JUST $5 with your $50 March order!!!  See details below!

I look forward to seeing you again soon!!

Blessings to you!

Seasonal Launch CTMH CONSULTANT event in Annapolis, Maryland!!

If you follow my Close To My Heart business Facebook page - you already know that I was very EXCITED for the CTMH event that took place in Annapolis, Maryland this past Saturday!! 

I am SO THANKFUL to CTMH for hosting these mini events!  It's a great way to catch up with our seasoned consultants, as well as meet a bunch of new ones too!!  We have an annual CONVENTION each year (this year it's at Disney World in FL) and not everyone can make it there - so this is a PERFECT alternative! (although I hope to see some more "newbies" at Convention this year!) 

At the Seasonal Launch, we have a business portion & we get to CREATE with upcoming New products too!!  I LOVE the perks of being a consultant, and all the sneak peeks we are allowed. 

Pierre Gelinas, our Canadian General Manager, was our business presenter.  He fill us in with UPCOMING specials & goodies that we can't share with you yet...but you'll want to STAY tuned in the next week or so to learn more!

Since Pierre has only been at CTMH for less than a year, Home Office asked if I would help out with the Creative portion of the event.  I was honored to be asked, and said - sure I'd love to help out.  

I received my box of goodies ahead of time, so that I could create the projects, and give tips where needed.  The projects we created were very simple, but beautiful.  We used all 3 NEW, upcoming paper packs that will be arriving on May 1st!!  You are going to LOVE these papers!

At the end of our time together - we received our OWN copy of the NEW Seasonal Expression 2 (SE2) mini book that will go LIVE to CUSTOMERS on May 1st - but as CTMH consultants....we can start ordering these items on April 1st! 

 I'm so thankful that CTMH gives us as consultants a month ahead of everyone else.  That way we can work on creating samples & artwork to share with you when the live date happens on May 1st!!

It also gives us time to "check our list twice" and get the last products we need from the SE1 book.  Don't forget EVERY stamp set, paper pack, etc WILL be RETIRING from the SE1 mini-book.  Click here to VIEW the book now, to make sure you have all of your favorite things! 

At Saturday's event, we DID learn about an AMAZING April special coming your way called "Baby, I'm Worth It!" and it is our BRAND NEW consultant kit arriving April 1st for ONLY $75!  

The best part is that this kit comes with $50 of SPC credit...and you can CHOOSE what papers & stamp sets you'd prefer to complete your OWN customized Consultant kit!!! Wahoo!!!

THIS DEAL gets even better....when YOU as a NEW consultant (that signed up in April 2016) reaches $350 in sales in your 1st 30 days as a consultant....you will receive an EXTRA BONUS - your choice of a Cricut cartridge OR $100 in SPC!!!

We only received a little bit of information at the event, but more details are coming soon!!  Stay tuned to learn all about it & I'll have a FB party or conference call to give MORE details to those that are interested!! Please feel free to contact me for more details, and I'll get them to you as soon as I receive them. 

March is coming to a close, and that means the TWO specials will be leaving us too!!  STAMPAGANZA is still taking place!! 

      

Feel free to head over to my website to get these fabulous goodies today. 

That’s all for today, and don't forget about the ADORABLE March Stamp of the month stamp set you can get for JUST $5 with your $50 March order!!!  See details below!

Come back and see me again soon!!

Blessings to you!

If you have arrived from Joyce's blog you are right on track.

Today I am sharing another card I created using this month's Stamp of the Month "Sunshine Birdies" that's the EXCLUSIVE stamp during March 2016! 

Take a look at this fun card!! J

I used the paper collection from CTMH's Penelope paper pack to create this card.  This paper is so "springy" & "happy"...it seemed to be the perfect fit! 

The banner was cut from the Artistry cartridge, and I used the designer paper to cut out the frame of the banner while using the dotted b&T paper for the inside of the banner.  I was excited to use 5 different pieces of B&T paper from the Penelope paper pack!!  

The butterflies were stamped with Memento ink, and then I used our Watercolor pencils & blending pen to color in the butterflies!  What FUN to pull out these tools again! 

To finish up this card....I used my scallop border punch to create a border using the white glitter paper (from the gold glitter pack) ...and did you see at the bottom of the card, I used the everyday life washi tape too. 

I had to use our beautiful, purple enamel hearts, so they ended up on the bottom right of the card to continue to sparkle throughout the card.  Check out the variety of enamel shapes we carry at CTMH by clicking here.
