I LOVE that we have an EXCLUSIVE stamp set available at a DISCOUNT each & every month!!

Take a look at the card I created with this month's stamp set.

I found today's card design in our BRAND NEW Jan/Feb 2020 mini Idea Book. Check out page 24, and you'll find the pattern for this card, shown there. :)

A newer item that we carry, are these ADORABLE Acrylic hearts.

For this project, I wanted COLORED hearts, ....so I pulled out my Tri-Blend alcohol markers, and colored them to match my paper!

I used 2 of my Tri-Blends.... Blue Turquoise & Bright Pink

I also used some BRAND NEW items that are shown in our Jan/Feb mini Idea book....I ADORE all of these new goodies!!

Do you see where I used our NEW...
*Lagoon Shimmer Brush
*Soft Pink Shimmer Trim

I also used our CLEAR Shimmer Brush inside the Raspberry inked heart.

...............................................................
My papers come from our BRAND NEW "Celebrate Today" papers. What a BRIGHT & Happy paper pack!

I also used, our "oldy by goody" Rectangle Stitched Frame Thin Cuts.
These are so versatile and can be used on almost ANY project!

First...can I share some EXCITING news about Stampaganza?

For THIS MONTH ONLY....Close To My Heart has brought back the ever POPULAR Solo Alphabet & Number stamp sets....just for this special SALE!!!

These B-size stamp sets ($9.95) are INCLUDED for this July Stampaganza monthly sale!!

Talk to your CTMH consultant on details of how YOU can get 3 of the Solo Number stamp sets for FREE and/or get the entire SET of each the Alpha or the Numbers for half off!!

For today's creation, I used 2 of the SOLO alphabets...letters "H" and "I"

Take a look at the card I created for today's hop.

I started off using Pattern #16 in the Make It From Your Heart volume 4 How-To book, and adjusted my measurements, according to the height of my letters.

I used the "happy" paper pack in our current catalog, ;) .....this paper is called Central Park. Doesn't it just make you HAPPY when you look at all of those bright, fun colors?!?!

I wanted to add a small "embellishment" to the front of this card, and I happened to see a few of these Stitched Heart Images laying on my crafting table....the perfect choice!

These stitched metal dies are part of our THIN CUTS product line here at CTMH...they are BEAUTIFUL & coordinate to mat perfectly with our Basic Heart Thin Cuts too!

Let's take a look at the two stamp sets I used for this card...

The Solo letters H & I

I should have used THREE stamp sets....why you ask?
Because this month purchase TWO stamp sets....and get the third stamp for FREE!!
A GREAT stamp set deal!!

It was fun to use the large letters on the front of the card....
but also a lot of fun to stamp the "happy circle" in the background too!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were INSPIRED today!! :)

Joyful Stars Blog Hop - Here For You cardmaking kit

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 Tracey's blog you are right on track.

Did you know that Close To My Heart, has brought back Cardmaking Kits?

Yes - it's TRUE...and I love these kits and the included EXCLUSIVE stamp sets that creates a set of 12 cards! The Seasonal Expression 1 mini-book, has FOUR new cardmaking kits ...that INCLUDE kit-only stamp sets!

Take a look at the "Workshops Your Way Here For You" cardmaking kit, that uses paper from our "Some Kinda Wonderful" paper collection.

Take a look at what is ALL included!!

Kit contents:
1 – exclusive workshop stamp set (B-size)
2 – sheets Some Kinda Wonderful B&T Duos™
2 – cardstock sheets (1 Blossom, 1 White Daisy)
1 – white shimmer trim (Z3024)
1 – black & white dots (Z3314)
12 – white card bases and envelopes

This Workshops Your Way® kit contains materials for creating 12 cards. Downloadable, easy-to-follow online instructions guide you in creating two different card designs.

Additional supplies needed to create cards as shown below:
Blossom Exclusive Inks™ stamp pad (Z2810)
Smoothie Exclusive Inks™ stamp pad (Z2896)
Willow Exclusive Inks™ stamp pad (Z2807)
2" × 2" My Acrylix® block (Y1003)

Here are the 2 card designs (4 cards, by using both sides of our double sided paper) that CTMH has created for this kit.

They are such pretty cards....I ADORE the clusters of flowers & leaves...so beautiful!! Take a look at some close ups....

Well, if you know me...LOL ;)

...you know I will OFTEN change up some of the kit designs, according to what I know my customers will like. :)

So...while I do like the wording of "I'm here for you" and "You're Not Alone" that are INCLUDED in this stamp set...I knew those sayings were a bit more personal, and more "generic" type sayings may be better when making a batch of 12 card designs.

So I had an idea...I pulled out another stamp set - called "Dreamin' Big - Cardmaking" & the Thin Cuts to match.

Take a look at this CUTE stamp set - and notice the font of the words, is very close (if not the SAME) as the font of the stamp set in this card kit!!!

AND...GUESS WHAT???

This BUNDLE (stamp set & thin cut) are on SALE during March 2017!!!

Get this bundle for a 25% discount -make sure to talk to your consultant about this AMAZING, March deal!!!

Ok...so let's take a look at the set of cards I created. :)

I used the SAME paper pieces, but I added the butterflies & wording from the above stamp set (Dreamin' Big Cardmaking Bundle) ...

What do you think? Do you see the changes? :)

These cards still look VERY similar - but I think the "Just for You" and the "Thinking of You" wording will be able to used for many more occasions.

Here's another CARD I created with some leftover scraps from this card kit...

I took the "upright" card design - and just turned it on it's side, and stamped my images accordingly. Again - a SIMPLE change, but a FUN one! :)

If you haven't seen the NEW goodies Close To My Heart released on January 1, 2017 in the Seasonal Expression 1 mini-book...make sure to touch base with your CTMH consultant, or feel free to CLICK HERE.

This "mini-book" is ONLY current until April 30, 2017!! SO...if you have anything on your wish list from this book - you'll want to make sure to get those goodies before they are gone forever! :)

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 Donna'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!!!

Retiring Soon...Post #1 - A few of my Favorite Things - Jolly Holiday & City Sidewalks -

I thought I'd share a few posts of "My Favorite Things" that will be retiring at the end of this month OR While Supplies Last.

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.

Of course, we have mixed emotions ;)....we are sad to see these goodies leave us, but are VERY EXCITED to see the amazing product CTMH has created for the next 4 months too....SO while it's bittersweet - I DID want to share some of my favorites that will be missed!

You will also want to check your wish list, and make sure you have what you need from the Holiday Expression mini book prior to leaving.

Come join me as we look at ONE of these FABULOUS products that will be leaving us shortly! :)
*********************************************************

TODAY - let's take a look at this card, created by one of my team members, Jodi Hoover.

This card was one we created at out Christmas Cardmaking Day we held back at the end of September. What a simple but beautiful card to create!! The bright colors in this card just make me smile! :)

The City Sidewalks paper pack has been a FAVORITE to many of you - and yes, the City Sidewalks will be retiring on Dec 31st ;( (or while supplies last...WSL)

Take a peek at the 12 sheets you'll receive in this beautiful paper pack.

Take note of the 2 sheet of cut-apart PML cards in this pack.

I LOVE this extra, added feature that CTMH includes in our designer paper packs. These 4x6 and 4x3 cards can be used in a variety of projects!! Use them on your Scrapbook page, a card front, or even punch a hole and use as a gift tag! :) So FUN!!!

The stamp set we used is the "Jolly Holiday" $13.95...take a peek.

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

Did you know???? We, at CTMH, carry 8 colors of SHIMMER TRIM!! Make sure to check out all 8 colors by clicking HERE....
