The Dream Pop paper packet includes 12 cardstock sheets and 12 B&T Duos® papers that were specifically designed for this promotion—you can’t get the paper packet anywhere else! The vibrant hues of the papers are specialty colors exclusive to this paper packet. The cardstock sheets have glossy patterns on one side that coordinate with the B&T patterns for a pop of shine on the colorful cardstock. 

This cheerful, limited-time only paper packet deserves a work- shop all its own! 

We will be creating 2 two-page layouts, 3 cards, and a set of 6 decorated treat tubes, all using the dream Pop paper packet and the May stamp of the month set, Pinwheel. The cards and treat tubes are perfect for year-round gifting.

CTMH has HEART!

I love being a part of Close To My Heart for so many reasons.  This is one of them:

The tornado in Oklahoma has had a devastating effect and Close To My Heart wants to help. To aid relief efforts, Close To My Heart is making a new Autumn/Winter 2013 stamp set, A True Thank You ($2.95 retail), available immediately and will donate 100% of the profits from sales of the set from May 23 through June 30 to the American Red Cross. Help us provide relief to those affected by the Oklahoma tornado by purchasing  the A True Thank You stamp set (M1029) and this relief effort to all those who have been affected by this horrible tragedy.



Stamp Scrubber

I love the Close To my Heart Stamp Scrubber (item # Z1782) and My Acrylix Spritz Cleaner (item # Z1778).  I now give a Spray Pen filled with cleaner with every purchase of the Stamp Scrubber.  This is my gift to you.  Below is an informative video about how the scrubber and cleaner work together.

Happy Thoughts Kits!

Close To My Heart is teaming up with Big Picture Classes to bring you a live webcast with step-by-step instructions for making this Happy Thoughts kraft container. The FREE webcast will air Thursday, May 30 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm (MDT). During the presentation, you’ll learn to make several projects from a variety of sponsors, including Close To My Heart’s Happy Thoughts kraft container, as the presenter walks you through the steps. Watch the Pajama Party by yourself, with other Consultants, or with your customers for a fun crafting pajama party. Anyone with an Internet connection can watch, so be sure to tell your customers to order their project supplies in advance and then tune in!

The Pajama Party class will be available for FREE atBigPictureClasses.com on May 30. If you would like to interact on the message board, participate in live chat, post to the gallery, download handouts, or enter any contests, you will need to log in to the Pajama Party “classroom” by creating a free account on the Big Picture Classes website.

I am putting together "HAppy Thoughts" Kits as we speak!  It you would like one please let me know.  Kits are just $12.00.  Order yours today so you have it for the Pajama PArty on May 30th!

The best part about this project is the list of 52 Create Things To Do paper strips that go inside the craft container.  You can set this decorative container on your desk and pull out a strip of paper every week to help you make time each week for an entire year to BE CREATIVE and MAKE SOMETHING FUN!  Isn't that great?!

LOVE YOUR LAYOUT!

Card Kits, Alcohol Markers and Dream Pop!

I am busy getting ready for the FIESTA SCRAPBOOK WARS/CROP on Friday night.
Right now I am working on my card kits that are available to purchase.

The CTMH "Puns of Praise" stamp set  (#C1535) goes perfectly with the Archival Ink Pad (#44751) and Alcohol Marker Sets and Blender pens.  I have a few extra kits for sale.  First come first serve!
The Alcohol Markers makes coloring and blending a BREEZE...and the look is oh so professional.
Take a peek at this video for some tips and tricks!



I am looking forward to playing with the exclusive DREAM POP paper pack once these kits are completed.  Here are a few cards that YOU will be creating at my DREAM POP Workshop in early June (details coming soon!)!

FREE Gift!

Happy Monday!

Today I would like to share with you just how much I love the Close To My Heart My Acrylix Stamp Scrubber (#Z1782).  This is a lint-free cleaning of your stamps. It has raised bristles for cleaning large stamp.  It features rubber feet for a good grip.  This Scrubber is ideal for cleaning all inks, especially pigment inks.  It's size of 41/2" x 4" is ideal for holding in your hand, if you prefer to clean stamps that way!  This item sells for $12.95 before shipping and tax.

I personally own two of these scrubbers for my personal use.  I use one for my dye inks and another for my pigment inks.  I have recently learned a little tip when it comes to leaning stamps.  The Close To My Heart Spray Pen is a PERFECT enhancement to cleaning your stamps!  I fill my spray pen with the Acrylix Spritz Cleaner (#1779) and use that to spritz my stamp when I am done inking it with a particular color ink and then wipe it dry on my Stamp Scrubber.  It works like a charm!  LOVE IT!

Because I love it so much I am now going to be giving a spray pen to all those who purchase the My Acrylix Stamp Scrubber FREE!  This is my gift to you!  I recommend you purchase the My Acrylix Spritz Cleaner Refill (#1779) along with the Stamp Scrubber.  Then you can use the cleaner refill to fill your FREE spray pen! You can order your Acrylix Stamp Scrubber and Cleaner Refill HERE.
