It's a Stash Class!

Make It From Your Heart" Stash Class (known to many of you as "Jill's Scrappy Hour")

January is a great month to ECONOMIZE and what better way to save money than using up some of those scrapbook materials you've already purchased! I thought this month it might be fun to use up some of your old supplies and save you some money!

Pull out that scrapbook paper and embellishments that you have stuffed away in your scrapbook room. We will have a great time using it all to make layouts and/or cards from the new Make It from Your Heart book! I'll teach you how to use the book and then you will have four hours to create, snack and visit with friends!

This is a new layout and design book from Close To My Heart. You will get it FREE when you attend my stash class! This great book has layouts and card designs all in one. Then, when you leave, take it with you to inspire you to use up that "stash" at home!

Please don't forget to RSVP on or before Friday, January 11, 2013 to make sure you get a spot in this popular class!

All New and Exclusive Cricut Cartridge!

Exciting news from Close to My Heart!

All new Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book (available August 1)

 

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have noticed my posts last week about the Close to My Heart annual convention in Dallas. Woo hoo! We had a great time and there was a lot of exciting news announced during this fun, annual event. The biggest and best announcement for me was the brand new and exclusive to CTMH Cricut "Artiste" cartridge that just joined the CTMH catalog of products. My "Art Philosophy" cartridge (released last year by CTMH) has lived in my machine for the past year. Both of these cartridges are exclusive to CTMH and can only be purchased through me. There are some SERIOUSLY COOL things on this new "Artiste" cartridge! From cupcake wrappers, party ensembles, sun and clouds, mustaches, pinwheels, font, ferris wheel and merry-go-round, to strawberry boxes, cupcake boxes, treat boxes, coffin box, rosettes, interactive cards, pop up cards, fancy envelopes and more this is a 700 image packed cartridge!

Click here to take a look!

But wait! There's more!

* This cartridge comes with 3 "D" size stamp sets (retail $17.95 each, yours free with the cartridge)that coordinate with the images on the cartridge and are exclusive to the cartridge bundle!

* You will also receive 3 sheets of coordinating chipboard elements (free) with your cartridge bundle!

* Price is just $99 plus shipping and tax.

* You can purchase the Stamp of the Month for just $5 with your cartridge!

*  Orders begin on August 1st, 2012 for all this awesomeness! I'm taking preorders now! Just $25 down to reserve a cartridge for yourself. Last year, the "Art Philosophy" sold a year's inventory in just two weeks!  So don't delay!

* Or order directly from my website (beginning August 1) and have it shipped to your door via Fedex from our corporate warehouse - CLICK HERE to visit my website now!

I was able to order "Artisite" a bit early as a consultant so I will be sharing FUN projects using Artiste and our some of our new papers and stamps starting the middle of next week! 

And....If you've ever thought about becoming a Close to My Heart consultant now is the time to take the plunge because they just announced a brand new $49 Consultant Starter Kit that is full of $130 in product!  This kit is perfect for scrappers and papercrafters and/or those just starting out, who may want to try the product at a great price!

Final Dotty for You Techinques

This is the final post in my series on extra techniques that can be found in the limited edition Close to My Heart Dotty for You paper pack....

Technique #4: Creating Visual Transitions

Carry the neutral foundation color, in this case Grey Wool, onto the other elements of your art piece to help the eye easily transition between elements, like the colorful chevron box top and the sides of the box.


Don't forget the Bonus Projects included in the Dotty for You insert!

Technique #5:  Use Neutral Inks for a Crisp, Clean Look

To create a card with a clean, crisp look, use the dominant neutral color to stamp your sentiment.

Continuing my series on extra techniques that can be found in the limited edition Close to My Heart Dotty for You paper pack....

Technique #3: Using Patterned Paper

Helping Adjacent Patterns POP!

To help two adjacent patterns stand out individually, separate them with a sold color.  Notice the butterfly B&T* paper is backed with cocoa cardstock and the polka-dotted B&T* is layered with the kraft cardstock. (*B&T refers to patterned paper that has background and texture.)

Creating a Bohemian Look

Combine several B&T paper patterns and colors to create a trendy, bohemian chic look. You can find this technique on the Simple Pleasures card.

On trend:  banners and flags are hot! hot! hot! Make a darling accent from your paper scraps by trimming a complementary banner and wrapping it around a pin from the Bling assortment (Z1466) to form a small pin flag.

It's National Scrapbooking Month!

You will love the colors and textures in the new Dotty for You paper packet, available only while supplies last during National Scrapbooking Month!  I love the fabulous artwork you can create! Each promotional paper packet includes an insert with a picture of the artwork, recipes, and a unique technique to inspire you.

Tor order the Dotty for You paper packet, simply go to my website, http://jillk.myctmh.com!

I'll be sharing extra technique ideas, not included in the paper packet insert but using the same artwork, over the next few days, so follow my blog for lots of ideas!

Technique #1: The Polaroid Snapshot (found on the Sisterly Love layout)

Create a Polaroid snapshot look by first cutting out a rounded-corner rectangle the size of your focal point. Then, cut a larger rectangle around the negative space, creating the look of a Polaroid. For example, if your subject is 3″ × 2″, cut a rounded 3″ rectangle using the Cricut^® machine then discard the rectangle and keep the negative space, cutting that piece at 4″ × 2½”. Add journaling to the empty white space at the bottom and attach it to the layout at an angle using 3-D foam tape. You’ll now be able to create the Polaroid look for any kind of picture without needing a Polaroid camera!

Want your own Dotty for You paper packet?  Here's how:

Celebrate National Scrapbooking Month in May by mixing and matching to your heart’s content with our new Dotty for You paper packet! The trendy patterns on the front of the papers coordinate perfectly with the dots on the reverse side, giving you lots of options for crafting colorful layouts, cards, and other projects. Dotty for You includes 24 specially designed, coordinating B&T Duos^® sheets (2 each of 12 patterns) and an artwork idea insert to get your creative juices flowing.
