September Specials

I can't believe we're already halfway through September, but I did want to write a post about this month's specials. If you have any questions about anything, or if you would like to sign up to host a party or become a consultant, please contact me. I'm here to help!

Holiday Expressions Idea Book
The Holiday Expressions idea book is always one of my favorites, and this year's catalog does not disappoint! There are five new paper collections and so many great new stamp sets. There are also lots of new embellishments, Thin Cuts, and organizational products. Check it out at the link below!



National Stamping Month - Memories in the Making
The exclusive Memories in the Making Cut Above layout kit contains die-cut pieces and stickers for creating 13 single 12x12 pages you can add to a scrapbook album or use to adorn the pages of a calendar for the coming year! Save 30% when you purchase a bundle that pairs the kit with this month’s exclusive Memories in the Making stamp sets and a My Creations calendar!


You can also receive both of the Memories in the Making stamp sets FREE when you sign up as a Consultant or host a qualifying party.

September Stamp of the Month - Just Treats
This month's stamp of the month set is so much fun - and so versatile for several holidays and occasions. It's definitely geared toward cards but could be used on scrapbooking layouts or treat bags as well.


Each month you can purchase a new D-sized stamp set, available for one month only, for $5. When you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products, you qualify for this special Stamp of the Month pricing.


Click on the link below to learn more or to get your own Just Treats stamp set!


Keep an eye on my blog and Facebook page for more posts this month about these specials and the featured paper packet, Boutique. And if you have any questions about anything, just ask!

Thanks,

Boutique Scrapbooking Workshop

It's now September, and the new Holiday Expressions idea book is live! And with the release of a new catalog comes new product - including five new paper packets! In September I will be focusing on the Boutique collection, and I have a new scrapbooking workshop all ready for you!



In the past I have offered monthly scrapbooking workshops at my house, but for the next few months I'm trying something different. Instead of signing up for a workshop, you can now purchase a kit and come to any of my open craft times to complete your layouts. If you prefer to purchase your own materials or if you want to make the layouts on your own, you can buy the supplies online, and I can send you the instructions and cutting guide.

You will also receive Customer Loyalty Points no matter which option you choose! If you order the materials yourself, you will earn points for your order ($1 = 1 point). If you purchase a pre-cut kit from me, you will receive 30 points. It's a win-win!

Here are a few pictures of the layouts. To see the complete layouts, please visit my online store at the link below.







If you would like to purchase the supplies on your own, here's what you need.

Once you have ordered your materials, simply email me to let me know, and I'll send you the instructions and cutting guide.

If you prefer to purchase a pre-cut kit from me, you can do so at my online store at the link below.

Since I have to order most of the materials, if you want to complete your layouts with me, please order your kit at least 10 days in advance of the open craft time you wish to attend. Open craft times will be listed on my Upcoming Events page soon.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks,

Documented Scrapbooking Kit

I am now offering a scrapbooking kit featuring the Documented collection from Close To My Heart! This paper is so versatile, and the rich colors are just beautiful together.

If you prefer to purchase a pre-cut kit from me, you can do so at my online store at the link below. You can choose between a kit with leftover papers and embellishments or a kit with no leftover supplies. Here's what you will receive with the kit with leftover papers and embellishments.

Important information! August is the last month for both of the current idea books, so I do expect products to start selling out soon. If you are planning on purchasing your own materials, I would advise you to do so soon to avoid missing out. Similarly, if you would like a pre-cut kit, please purchase it soon so I can order your materials. At the moment I do not keep stock on hand, so I can only order materials for as long as they're available.

Also, since I have to order most of the materials, if you want to complete your layouts with me, please order your kit at least 10 days in advance of the open craft time you wish to attend. Open craft times will be listed on my Upcoming Events page soon.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Until further notice...

I love my blog for sharing longer posts and information, but for now I have to put my blog on hold. I am experiencing some physical limitations that make it very difficult for me to type, so until all of that is figured out, I'm going to have to step away from my blog. I'll still be active on Facebook, and feel free to email, call, or text if you need anything. Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks,

April Stamp of the Month

Today I'm sharing all about the April stamp of the month set - Color Your Life. This is a really fun set for both cards and scrapbooking.


All of the sentiments can be used separately, or they can all be used together for one, long scrapbooking title. I think these letters will be so fun to color in, and I look forward to using this stamp set more in the future.


As in other months, I have seen some great artwork online using this stamp set. If you're interested in seeing some of this artwork, search the hashtags #ctmhcoloryourlife, #ctmhsotm, #stampofthemonth, or #ctmhstampofthemonth on social media. Those should get you some good ideas!

Here are a few cards I made using the Color Your Life stamp set. The patterned paper comes from a brand-new paper packet coming next month!




The Color Your Life stamp of the month is only available in April! You can buy it at the full retail price of $17.95 or get it for only $5 with a $50 order.

Click on the link below to learn more and to get your own Color Your Life stamp set!

Postcard Perfect Layouts

Today I want to share several layouts I've made with the brand-new, exclusive, coming-in-May Postcard Perfect collection from Close To My Heart!


This new collection will be available to order in May in honor of National Scrapbooking Month, and it will only be available for one month! If you want to find out more about all the product offerings, check out my blog post from last week.

Today I'm sharing three layouts I made with the paper packet, the coordinating cardstock, and the Postcard Perfect stamp set. I'm also offering these as part of a scrapbooking workshop on May 4, but you have to sign up today if you would like to attend the workshop. For more details about the workshop, please visit the Facebook event page.

Here are pictures of my three layouts.

These layouts were designed by a fellow CTMH consultant and provided to all consultants to use in our workshops. I just love my job and all of its perks!


Close To My Heart is also offering a Cut Above layout kit as part of the Postcard Perfect collection. This layout kit provides you with everything (except adhesive) to make three two-page layouts - and it also includes page protectors! It features pre-printed base pages, die-cuts, and stickers - no need for stamping or cutting! These layouts are really beautiful, so I thought I'd share mine with you today. There are a few stickers I haven't put on the second layout yet; I'll wait until I put down my photos. But here they are!

Aren't they gorgeous?! You'll be able to purchase the Cut Above layout kit separately, or you can save 20% when you buy it as part of a bundle. There will be album bundles available, as well as a Postcard Perfect bundle, which includes the paper packet, coordinating cardstock, and the stamp set.

Again, if you'd like to complete these layouts with me at my Postcard Perfect Scrapbooking Workshop, please visit the Facebook event page to RSVP. You can also contact me to sign up, and you can even pay for the workshop ahead of time with a credit card at my online shop. Just scroll to the bottom of the page and choose your workshop time.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and I'll have links for all of these products once May arrives!

Thanks,
Bethany Rielage
