Retiring Soon ….Post #4–Pretty Poinsettias, Oh Deer & Shimmer Ribbon

In case you haven’t heard….my last couple of BLOG posts, I’ve been sharing items that are RETIRING on Dec 31, 2016 OR While Supplies Last!!

These items are some of "My Favorite Things" and I wanted to make sure you don’t miss out on these products, especially if they are a part of your wish list.  

As you may have heard, Close To My Heart's Holiday Expression "mini" book, will be ending on December 31, 2016. 

At CTMH, we have a NEW mini book that arrives every 4 months....so that means our NEW Seasonal Expression 1 "mini" book will be arriving on Jan 1, 2017.

So make sure to check your wish list, and make sure you have what you need from the Holiday Expression mini book prior to its retirement. 

If you’ve missed the previous posts, you can find them at these links below…

POST #1 – Jolly Holiday stamp & City Sidewalks paper

POST #2 – Woodland Wishes thin cut bundle & snowflake embossing folder

POST #3 – Oh Deer, Perfectly Pine stamp & Jingle

Come join me as we look at another one of CTMH’s FABULOUS products that will be leaving us soon! 

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

Let’s take a look at festive Christmas card!  This card was created by Kate Fisher for our Christmas Cardmaking Day we held back at the end of September…so pretty!

How pretty, and “Christmasy” this card turned out to be!

The focal point of this card, is the poinsettias.  And…the stamp set name is “Pretty Pointsettias”.  It’s a B-size stamp set (B1540) & that means it is only $9.95! 

She also used the soon-to-be-gone – black shimmer ribbon,

the Oh Deer paper pack & the word JOY came from the stamp set “Very Merry”….another GREAT Christmas stamp set – check it out!!

Here is a close up of the pretty flower….

This flower stamp set is one that caught my eye, immediately upon its release in September.  Even though this stamp set had a Christmas name….or made me think of Christmas, I was determined to create a non-Christmasy layout. So…I went to the drawing board and this is what I came up with…what do you think?

This was the layout that was part of my all day crop in Sept 2016.   The ladies loved it and I will be creating a 2nd page to this layout as soon as I get a chance. 

We’ll finish this post, with one more card from the CTMH Art department using the “Pretty Poinsettia” stamp set… 

Don’t forget these products WILL end on Dec 31, 2016 OR While Supplies Last!! 

I hope you enjoyed this card, and stay tuned as I feature MORE products that will be retiring in the next few days!!   

Blessings to EACH of you!!

Retiring Soon…Post #3 –Oh Deer, Perfectly Pine, A Little Jingle….Christmas Cards

In my last couple of BLOG posts, I’ve been sharing items that are RETIRING on Dec 31, 2016 OR While Supplies Last!!

These items are some of "My Favorite Things" and I wanted to make sure you don’t miss out on these products, especially if they are a part of your wish list.

Come join me as we look at another one of these FABULOUS products that will be leaving us shortly!

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

Today, let’s take a look at this adorable card!  This card was created by Jodi Hoover, and she was inspired to create this card from the card shown on page 44 of the Holiday Expressions mini-book.

There are 3 items, used on this card, that will be leaving us soon…

**Oh Deer! paper collection – X7214B….$9.95

“A Little Jingle” mini stamp set – M1147….$2.95

“Perfectly Pine” stamp set – A1191….$6.95

This was another card that we created at our Christmas Cardmaking Day 2016.  What fun!! (click on the link above to check out what that day was all about ;)) 

Take a look at this close up photo…

Can you see that we used heat embossing on the golden bells?  It’s amazing what a little extra embossing does to this card.   

The gold shimmer was our glitter paper, however – you could just as easily use our gold shimmer trim and cut it in half to get the same effect.

The PERFECTLY PINE stamp set is one of my absolute favorites in this book….here are a few more pieces of artwork created with this stamp set.  

Thanks to all of my fellow consultants for sharing their beautiful artwork!!  

I hope you enjoyed this card, and stay tuned as I feature MORE products that will be retiring in the next few days!!  

Blessings to EACH of you!!

Joyful Stars Blog Hop - Woodland Wishes - retiring soon....Post #2

Welcome to our monthly  

 Joyful Stars Blog Hop!!!!

We're excited to share our creativity with you using PRODUCTS

from Close To My Heart!!

Come on in and see what BEAUTIFUL projects my fellow consultants have creating using the AMAZING products from Close To My Heart!!

 This blog hop is easy to do…just click on the link at the end of the post to go to the next creation!!  If you get lost along the way, CLICK HERE to see the list of this month’s hoppers! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

If you've been following my blog, you may have noticed that I'm doing a blog series on "retiring soon" items...so that's a little bit of background of the card I'm sharing with you today. :) 

Let's take a look at this card below, that uses a BUNCH of items that will be retiring on December 31st. 

This card was one we created at a Home Gathering and a simple but beautiful one to create!! I got my inspiration from a fellow consultant, and I'm sorry I forget who it was...but thank you! 

Take note on the picture above- we were even able to emboss the flap of the envelope with the snowflakes embossing folder! :) 

We used our NEW Thin Cut bundle......Z4015- Woodland Wishes Thin Cut Bundle.   

This BUNDLE is available at a DISCOUNTED price because it's a BUNDLE!!!

It's only $26.95 for the D-size stamp set & metal die cuts!! (The stamp set be purchsed by itself for $17.95 - D1696) 

This 5x7 Snowflake Embossing Folder will be leaving us at the end of December too.  This beautiful folder is ONLY $8.95 & has a special feature!!  

There is a 4" "slit" in the hinged part of the embossing folder.  This allows you to emboss a 12" strip of paper!  I LOVE this added feature that CTMH 5x7 embossing folders bring to us! :) (and yes, 5x7 is a LARGER size than most embossing folders out there. ;) ) 

On this close up photo - you'll notice that there is a bit of "shimmer" taking place on this card too. :)  

I ADORE our new Shimmer brush - and this is ONE item that won't be retiring at the end of this month!  Yay!!  

However, if you don't have one of these fabulous tools already, you may just want to add that to you next purchase.  It adds so much, and is only $4.95!!  

Stay tuned to my blog as I feature MORE products that will be retiring in the next few days!!  

That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to ready to go CREATE something on your own! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it’s time to Hop on over to Jen's  blog and see what beautiful, crafty item she has to share with us!  

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month, when the Joyful Stars team members will be sharing more artwork using Close To My Heart products!    

Blessings to you for BEAUTIFUL day!!!
