We really are In This Together

🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻

This past year and into the new year has really been a challenge to many of us.  Some have lost, some have found, some have gotten sick, some are sick of being at home but in the big picture, we are all in this together.

Close To My Heart has just released a BRAND NEW paper collection adeptly called In This Together.

🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻

This fun collection features a 12-sheet paper packet with coordinating sticker sheet, enamel dots, cardstock pack, and an EXCLUSIVE My Acrylix® stamp set!

Save 20% with three different bundle options, including two different workshop bundles that give you the products for creating a variety of artwork. The In This Together Workshop Kit includes materials for creating three 12″ × 12″ scrapbook layouts, while the In This Together Album Workshop Kit includes materials for creating a set of 6″ × 8″ pages.

Here are some layouts that were completed with the kit.

Purchase your collection on my website before it is SOLD OUT!  You won't find a better collection out there for COVID scrapbooking and cardmaking.

Like you I hope we’ve all made it onto Santa's nice list this year. I am making it easier for the gift givers to grant you a fabulous gift giving experience this season.  I created a list of perfect items for them to give.

Take a look at the list below, then share the link to this post with your giver and let them know which numbers on the list you are interested in. By clicking on the item, they will be navigated to my website where they will be able to add the product to their shopping cart. Keep in mind, your gift giver will need specifying colors, item number (if there is more than one) and quantities so please share that information with them when you send the link.

Step Up Your Card Creation Game

 Go From Simple to WOW!

Have you been making cards and they look great but you want to step up your game and go to the next level?  I have some simple tips for you to follow.

Make your cards pop by using layers, thin cut dies and embellishments!

These cards are created using the In My Prayers Item Number: C1870 stamp set.  It’s so easy to add a card stock mat behind your main image or greeting and it really makes it pop.  

I cut my card mats to either match the size of my card or I go down a 1/4" from the card size. 

You can see that the card on the left is matted in black cardstock.

Another great tip is to use a thin cut die, like the card on the right.  The Olive Branches Background Thin Cuts Item Number: Z3679 was used to cut out a lighter cardstock color and then it is adhered to a darker cardstock to really make it POP!  The center is stamped with the flourishes and sentiment.

Add embellishments, like the gems, sparkles, pearls, dots, buttons, stickles and ribbons.  The card on the right has three sequins glued on the front along with a black velvet ribbon bow. There are quite a few that you can use that won’t add too much bulk to your cards. I like to keep them simple so my cards will easily go through the mail without extra postage.  If you aren't mailing your cards then the choices are endless!

Got Candy? special

Creativity in Motion Is Here!

 Animated Stamps, Yes Please! 

Welcome to September and to our FABULOUS special called Creativity In Motion!

 The Creativity in Motion special is brand new and introduces a new line of animated stamps. These animated stamps create images that move on the page and provide a fun, interactive experience you’ll have to see to believe.

This special includes three animated My Acrylix® stamp sets—Animated Sentiments, Animated Butterfly Kisses, and Animated Safari Animals. How cute are they??

Along with the three animated stamp sets shown above, the Creativity in Motion special also includes specialized Animation Sheets. These acetate sheets are printed with thin, black lines. These lines cover portions of the animated stamp images, but when they are pulled, the lines cover different parts of the stamp, creating the illusion of movement.

The Creativity in Motion special also includes the Border Tab stamp set and Thin Cuts metal dies. Together, they allow you create pull tabs to help guide the animated stamp experience. With simple instructive sentiments like “pull here” or “SLIDE,” and a few more fun options like “fancy,” “surprise,” “OOOH,” and “AAAH,” the Border Tab stamp set gives you plenty of options to create personalized pull tabs for your animated artwork. 

The Creativity in Motion special also includes our brand-new 6″ x 6″ Bright Stack; we’ve taken some of our favorite paper patterns from past collections and shrunk them down from their original 12″ x 12″ versions to create this adorable mini paper packet!

Purchase the special Creativity in Motion Bundle and get it all for a discount!  The bundle Includes:

1 – My Acrylix® Animated Sentiments Stamp Set (CC9201)

1 – My Acrylix® Animated Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set (CC9202)

1 – My Acrylix® Animated Safari Animals Stamp Set (CC9203)
