The new 2015/2016 book is here!

11 Must-Have Crafting Supplies for your Wishlist

by Close To My Heart
CTMH Picture My Life™ Overlays
It’s finally September 1, and you know what that means—our brand new Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations and Holiday Expressions idea books are now available to the public!
Holiday Expressions and Annual InspirationsWe’re elated to finally be able to brag about all the gems featured in these beauties! :) Even though it was VERY difficult for us to narrow this down, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to create a list of 11 love-it, gotta-have-it crafting supplies from our new idea books. Here we go!
1. Instalife™
CTMH Instalife™
This brand new product line is perfect for preserving your favorite social media memories or really any miniature keepsakes. We find the petite size of this line adorable! Add Instalife cards to the Memory Protectors™ for an extra pop of color next to your photos, or stamp on cute dates and messages using our Instalife roller stamps. This line is extremely versatile, letting you create an album that’s just right for you!
2. Watercolor Paints
Add a splash of color to any project with our brand new watercolor paints! From creating showstopper backgrounds to embellishing with a little splatter of paint, these watercolor paints are one of our most multipurpose tools
3. Fundamental Stickers Packs and Assortments
CTMH Fundamental Stickers Adventure Pack

Every crafter knows how nice it is to have items that color coordinate. Our Paper Fundamentals match our exclusive colors perfectly to make paper pairing a cinch. Along with updated colors and patterns, this line now also includes Fundamental Stickers Packs and Assortments! You’ll find color-coordinated tags, icons, and titles, as well as letter stickers you can use for putting things into your own words! Embellishing and accessorizing has never been so easy!
4. Picture My Life™ Overlays
Our Picture My Life™ pocket scrapbooking line makes catching up on scrapbooking quick and easy. In our new Annual Inspirations book, we now have beautiful overlays to add a touch of foil or else an eye-catching pattern to your photos without having to stamp directly onto the photos.
5. My Legacy™ Albums…and new posts!
Creating beautiful layouts for your favorite memories is important, but so is choosing a beautiful album to store those layouts! We love our high quality My Legacy™ albums because they protect our memories in style! Since each album tells a different story, we provide both 1 ½" D-ring albums and 1 ½" post-bound albums in a variety of patterns. For slightly shorter stories, use our brand new My Legacy™ 1" Album Posts to keep your layouts perfectly nestled between the protective album covers.
6. My Acrylix® Etched Alphabet Stamp SetUnknown-1 copyYou can never go wrong with a monogram, which is why we’ve created the My Acrylix® Etched Alphabet stamp set. It’s the perfect size for adding a monogram to our Base & Bling pendants. Create several monogrammed pendants for an easy go-to gift— because honestly, who wouldn’t want to wear an adorable monogramed bit of bling?
7. Cricut® Artistry Collection
This fella is the newest addition to our set of exclusive Close To My Heart Cricut® collections. Featuring over 700 images ranging from banners and borders to shapes and layers, it’s sure to make your crafting even more awe-worthy. Oh, and did we mention that now ALL of our Cricut® collections include THREE My Acrylix® D-size stamp sets AND a cardstock combo pack? Let the cheers commence! ;)
8. Cut Above™
CTMH Cut Above™ Dapper Giraffe and Beautiful Blossoms Card Kits
CTMH Cut Above™ Boughs & Berries Card Kit
CTMH Cut Above™ Deck the Halls Card Kit

Don’t you hate it when you remember an occasion last-second and you desperately need a card? Our new Cut Above™ card kits are perfect for these exact situations. Taking only moments to put together, these card kits are absolute lifesavers, as well as easy on your wallet!
9. Marker and Accessory Roll-Ups
We know that crafters tend to collect quite a few items (it’s okay, we do, too :) ). Keep the clutter at bay with our brand new marker and accessory roll-ups! The marker roll-up is designed to hold our ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ markers to make transportation and horizontal storage easy, and our accessory roll-up can organize anything from Base & Bling items to embellishments and accessories.
10. My Reflection™ Paper Packets & Hashtags
CTMH Zoe
#ctmhzoe
CTMH Nevermore
#ctmhnevermore

As always, new idea books mean new paper packets! And we’ve got 8! This year, we will also be spotlighting one or two paper packets each month on social media. Zoe and Nevermore have already claimed the month of September. :) Use our featured paper packet hashtags to share your artwork during the featured month, and look at other crafters’ artwork by entering these hashtags in the search bar of any social media website or app—especially Facebook and Instagram. All of our featured paper packet hashtags are #ctmh followed by the name of the paper packet: #ctmhzoe #ctmhnevermore.
11. New Consultant Kit*
New Consultant Kit
When someone decides to join our family by becoming a Close To My Heart Consultant, they receive a New Consultant Kit full of goodies to start off their business. Well, this is the NEW New Consultant Kit, and isn’t she a beauty? We want you to inspire you from day one, so we’ve revamped this kit to make it as handsome as it is helpful.
And there you have it, folks! That’s the list! Now come’s the tricky part—figuring out which one of these 11 products you’ll purchase FIRST! Good luck!

Only a few more days left....


Do you remember this workshop I posted last year? Did you not love those stamp sets? If you do - you may want to hurry and get those sets now - in a few days they will be gone! My favorite here is "O Holy Night". It is one stamp, but you can use it in so many different ways - even on your scrapbook layouts!









I used "Love Ya Silly" another one of my favorites :)




Love Ya Silly

Item Number: B1470
 


Right now we still have lots of great items available on our Retirement List - remember - when they are gone - they are gone! There are a number of items, that have gone "unavailable" already.

Take care and have fun!

Space is limited - I already have several people who said, they want to come! Please let me know if you prefer a morning or evening class - I may add a morning class if I have enough interest for it.

We may not always use all of these items, but its a good thing to have these items in your "tool box". You can always order additional items at my website before you come to class :) and I always have extra supplies on hand, but things will go smoother if you have your own items with you. I will have all the other supplies for you like paper, embellishments, etc.

Retiring Items and While Supplies Last
As we all wait for the new book in September to come live, we have lots of items to choose from at great prices! You don't want to miss any of your favorite items in the "Retiring Items"
list or the "While Supplies" last list.
Here is the difference between the two, the latter has items, that have been retired and will not be replenished. Most of the items have been reduced in price, some of them quite deeply. When the items are gone - they are gone! It also pays to keep checking this list, since the company keeps adding on a regular basis to this list.
The Retiring List has items that can be there until August 30, however - it is also while supplies last on some items. We can get more supplies on some items. As we just reprinted some of our papers, but we cannot guarantee that all the items will be there through the end of the book. As you can see some of the supplies have already sold out. So, if you have some favorites - get them now!

Since we are talking retiring - here are the colors that will be retiring:

This is it for this month - please make sure you keep checking my blog and my facebook for updates! If you are not on facebook, let me know I would love to stay in touch with you with other means. We are about to launch the new idea book and we have always newsflashes I would love to bring your way - I would hate for you to miss something.

I would like to serve you - please let me know how I can do that the best way.

Oh - one more thing! At convention, we were informed how much we have supported Operation Smile in the passed 10 years! Can believe, it has been that long? We now have upped how much of the Operation Smile stamp set will go to that charity and we offer a T-Shirt with the proceeds going to that charity. If you would like to help share a smile - you may want to purchase a T-shirt!
Thank you!

Have a great day and I will talk to you soon.
Happily stamping,

Blossom Card Workshop


 These are the cards I made this month for the card workshop. I used the Blossom WOTG kit, of course I made some of my additions :). I will explain on the individual cards what small changes I made. I love this paper - there are so many possibilities with this. If you like this kit - you want to hurry, it will go away by the end of August!





I love this card! Not only because I made it, but the summer feel! If you look closely on each Popsicle, you can see that I added some liquid glue on top to make it look like they are melting. A fun little touch. I also added the corners. With a few little touches to your artwork, you can add a little bit more to your finish - go ahead and play - make it your own!

Tip: As I have mentioned before - I love to distress - if you look closely on the edge of the green edge - you might see the white edge of our wonderful cardstock. Just take the scissors and rub until you can see  the white core - distressing done!




 On this card I also added the Liquid Glue or Liquid Glass, but I also added Shimmer Trim. Shimmer trim adds lots of bling to any artwork - you may see that in many of my cards - love the stuff! In this card, I actually cut the trim in half. You don't always need a lot, just a bit adds just enough to give that needed "bling" :)

Tip: On my bow, I glued the strings down to keep my strings in shape. I don't know about you - but I like artwork to stay in shape when it gets moved around. This way, I show it around and I don't have to constantly adjust the bow.


On all three cards I used 3-d thin and thick foam tape. Depending on how high or low I needed it for my layering. On some cards, I used both. Both tapes are great to use in conjunction. When you adhere bigger pieces like this one, make sure you always put a piece in the middle as well. If look at my leaves you may see that I also used my Shin Han markers to give the leaves some better emphasis.

Hope you enjoy these projects. If you have any questions - please feel free to contact me - if you like them, please let me know, follow my blog, follow my facebook. I would love to hear from you!

Take care and have fun!

Newsflash: Colors Retiring in 2015 and more!

Convention was a blast! I will post some pictures soon - in fact if you follow me on facebook, you will have seen some of my pictures already :)

I did want to let you know that we will have a "blast" of new colors this year to stay on trend with new colors. The new colors will be in the Enchantment family of colors:

Smokey Plum
Outdoor Denim
Indian Corn Blue
Ponderosa Pine
Olive
Autumn Terracotta
Barn Red



The card stock, ink, reinkers in these colors will all retire - but never fear we will introduce some wonderful new colors to take their place.

I can not even tell you all the wonderful things we will have in store for you come September 1 - really, I can't tell you yet.

However - come August 1 - you can order one of the items we will introduce early - drumroll, please:

you will have wait and see, won't you :)...

until then - don't miss all the wonderful specials we have going on right now, like:

  • While Supplies Last
  • The Retirement List
  • Studio J Flashsale
  • This Month's Stamp set special
  • You cannot loose!


Did you see the Flashsale?

Check out the details now on the flashsale for Studio J! Normally, the layout is $6.95 through July 31 you only pay $5 per layout. If you have not tried it out yet, this is the best time to play with the program. Remember, you get the jpeg free when you purchase a layout. You can then use those jpegs and get books at shutterfly or anywhere you want, if you want to have books printed and share - if that is what you would like. You keep the big layouts :)

Until the next time - have a wonderful day :)

Margit

PS - if you cannot wait - consultants get an early peek ...

This is it for this month - please make sure you keep checking my blog and my facebook for updates! If you are not on facebook, let me know I would love to stay in touch with you with other means. Let me know and we will work something out.

Now, I still have some more packing to do - have a great day and I will talk to you soon
Happily stamping,

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

This is my first attempt on a blog - can you tell? I am sure you can. From what I have learned about blogs they are like an online journal and you are getting a peak into my soul ...

At this time I am trying to learn how to post my artwork with watermark and copyright and all that jazz -but I a, learning. My plan is to post my work and along with it I will explain what I used and how I made the project.

As we go along, I will also give you a peak into my life. I will share some pictures of my family, places we have been, places we have visited. So, please come back and visit often. Just know, that I am very new to this blogging thing! So, at this time - any help you can give me is highly appreciated in growing my skills in "blogging".

If you live close to me and you would like to join me in my craft place or one my crops please, check my calendar for any upcoming workshops!

A scrapbooker's quilting bee!
