As a Close To My Heart Idea Book season comes to an end, I feel a little sad.  Sad for the fact that I may miss some of the fabulous retiring products…

HOWEVER J …with the debut of the NEW 2014 Spring/Summer Idea Book just 2 1/2 weeks away, I know you & I are going to LOVE the new items coming from Close To My Heart!

So, let’s take a look at some paper packs that are retiring…and you’ll want to make sure to get them while supplies last!!!

& the Frosted Assortment - Z1890

G1070 Frosted Scrapbooking Kit

G1063 Frosted Cardmaking Kit…

I LOVE the included stamp set!!!

are all on the RETIRING LIST!!

I used a LOT of the Frosted collection this season. The blues & tans just “pulled me in” as I created!  I love these softer colors! 

Take a peek at a few items I created with this beautiful kit!!

I created this layout for the Crop for Kenya this past November.  I wanted to show the ladies how neat the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge was, so that was the emphasis on this page.

The Chocolate Striped ribbon will also be retiring this month!!!

This page design was taken from our Make It From Your Heart, vol. 2 book - Pattern #14

Here is a card I made with the Frosted Assortment. 

These flowers add so much, in such a short amount of creating time!!! Love that!

Take a look at this ENTIRE COLLECTION of items…all created with the Frosted paper pack & accessories!!

Make sure to DOUBLE CHECK your list twice…the items shown on the Retiring List will be GONE on Feb 1st to make way for the NEW product!!! 

Come back NEXT WEEK to see another paper pack (and items I’ve created with it) that are on the retiring list as well!!  Get them while you can!! J 

Blessings to you for a BEAUTIFUL day!!!

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

If you have arrived from my fellow teammate & friend Nicki Hoffer’s blog you are right on track.

Today I want to share some CHRISTMAS CARDS with you!  If you are anything like me J, you still have some Christmas cards to create and are looking for some new ideas! 

Take a look at this collection of 5 cards to inspire YOU in your creating!

These cards were 5 of the 11 cards we created at our annual Christmas Card Making Day this past September.  
To see the 1st post of Christmas Card Making Day CLICK HERE. 

At this annual event, we create 8-10 Christmas Cards throughout the day!!!  The picture above shows the set of cards we created during the morning. 

As consultants, we use CTMH’s FABULOUS how-to books, and create cards using ALL 6 new paper packs that came out in August- EVEN if they are NOT a Christmas designed paper packet!! Then, we TEACH our card to our friends & customers that attend this event! 

Let’s take a CLOSER look at these card designs!! 

This first card was designed by Kate Fisher. She used the Oct Stamp of the Month- Scandinavian Wishes.
 

I LOVE the detail Kate added to this card, from the stamped background at the top of the card, to the red heart she cut out from our adhesive backed red shimmer trim.

Here is a 6x6 card created ONLY with the ARTBOOKING Cricut cartridge!!! 

I LOVE the design that Devyn Zimmerman came up with to create a SIMPLE but BEAUTIFUL card! By adding some silver shimmer trim & stardust glitz glitter gel, she added just the right amount of sparkle!

This candle card uses the new stamp set called “Yuletide Greetings”! 

I designed this card, but the card was taught by Sheri Reiff.  We used metallic markers, Laughing Lola paper, Green Glitter paper, Universal backgrounds stamp set & NEW stamp set called “Stitch Wonder”. 

 

Here is a beautiful snow/winter card that I created, but I was inspired by a fellow consultants card. 

Stephanie Huber taught this card to our group of ladies this day.  There is NO paper pack used in this card, only the colors Twilight & White Daisy were used. 

    

The stamp set was “Christmas Village” & the snowflakes came from the Frosted Card Making Kit stamp set.  We “glitzed it up” with some liquid applique &  stardust glitz gel.

The last card for today, is called a Step or Stair card. 

I was inspired by fellow consultant, Brenda Rose, as I created this card.  I wanted to include something a bit “different” for our ladies this year, and everyone really appreciated this different style card! J

Stamp sets that I used to create this card were: Classy Doily, A Holiday, and Frosted Card Making kit stamp set.

 

I hope this has INSPIRED you as you create those last minute cards you for Christmas!  Feel free to join me here again later on this week for the 3rd and final post about our Christmas Card Making Day!

Now it’s time to Hop on over to  my good friend & fellow teammate Stephanie Huber’s blog to check out her crafty Christmas item! J

Happy Hopping and we’ll see you on the 9th next month (January 2014), when the Joyful Stars team members will be sharing artwork of some NEW goodies!!    

Blessings to you for a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
