Another great video to help you get started in your stamping adventure! Its a great refresher or a great start - depending on where you are in your skills!

Hope you will have fun with this!

Don't miss the December online party!

 Thank you so much for helping last month in the great cause of helping out all those many people on the East Cost - I am sure it was greatly appreciated!

Once again you have a chance to join my monthly online party and this month we have added all kinds of great savings again! Don't wait too long, before some of your favorite items are gone! There is still time to get some of your Christmas projects done. Once I am more moved in and we are finally cleared from the military I am still planning to get some Christmas ornaments made - yes I am ambitious - ha! But with our Cricut Artiste cartridge, our dimensionals and coordinating stamp set it will be much easier for me.

Let me know if I can help you get some quick gifts together and don't forget our wonderful tutorials!

Hope you are taking advantage of all our great tutorials we are putting out. Close to my Heart is almost taking my work away by not having to show all the cool things you can do with our stamps - almost ... ha! I would love to show you more! So, get in touch with me - I would love to help you get started with your projects. Get those things out of the drawer! Things in the drawer are very expensive. Only when you pull them out and do something with them do they become a bargain!

If you are looking for a quick project - check out one of our Workshop of the Go kits. Everything is in one place. Love those kits!

Need to get quick pages done - consider our Express Layouts in Studio J. Check it out, play around - you don't pay until you press the purchase button. And yes - they count towards a party, hostess rewards. It cannot get better!

Alcohol Marker Madness with CTMH

So, here is another installment how you can use our new alcohol markers with our acrylic stamps. The markers are very easy to use. They are different from the Copic markers, they are less expensive - they are an alternative. We do have a great blending pen for the markers, but it is used differently than a regular blending pen, in that it actually erases your color. So, play around and see what you can with those beautiful new markers!

Base and Shade and stamp on multiple surfaces!

 

Here are the next two segments of our great series from our stamping tutorials. I love those videos. When I started as a consultant over 18 years ago I learned the base and shade technique, but I used wood mounted stamps. Back then I had to use a stamp guide and hope it would work and not mess up. More than once I ended up with scrap! Acrylic stamps made it so much easier to do both of those techniques! Have fun to play.
