Want to learn about some of Close To My Heart's amazing products?

Well, I have a Close To My Heart party going on right now on my Facebook page and I have stepped out of my comfort zone to show some of the great products we have.  If you would like to join the party or just see what I have shared, hop on over to my Business page and take a look.

https://www.facebook.com/janicewilsonCTMH/videos/1759705327385488/

There you will find some information about our Cricut Cartridges, including Artbooking which was used to create the mini album on the cover of our newest Seasonal Expression ll Idea book. 
I just returned from Seattle, WA on Sunday after attending our Seasonal Expression ll Launch and I have to say this is by far the best Seasonal Expression Idea books we have had.  I can hardly wait till I can order and get started creating cards and layouts to share with all of you.  It has some papers that I am sure they created just for us, who live in the Pacific NW.  I know you will love them as much as I do. 

If you would like a copy of the new Seasonal Expression ll, 

let me know and I will add you to my list.  

You can join Jenny's Party and place an order on my website here

Stacking Die-cuts In Your Favor

Thin Cuts come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Stars, hearts, circles, flowers, ovals, banners, tags, numbers, letters—just to name a few  . Our goal this month is to remind you just how handy these tools can be in creating beautiful artwork that is versatile and, dare we say it—Die-namite!

All of our basic shapes Thin Cuts come in a set of four dies ranging in size, from 1″ to 2½”. In the page above we used our Basic Stars Thin Cuts to create something that literally pops off the page.

First we attached the largest stars to the page. You can use glue dots, thin 3-D foam tape, or both—which is what we did. Add the adhesive only to the center of the shape to keep it from going completely flat.

The smaller stars were stacked on top and then attached with a mini staple—not only functioning as an adhesive but as an added design element. You’ll notice that we only used three out of the four star sizes per stack. We found that doing more than three looked too bulky and didn’t visually work with our page. (If you remember from one of our previous posts, details in odd numbers look better than even!) Lastly, using nothing more than a finger, we lifted the corners up starting with the top layer.

Replicate this user-friendly technique with any of our basic shape Thin Cuts. If you want to achieve a similar effect with a Thin Cut that doesn’t come in a variety of sizes, follow the same steps and stack the same sized shapes on top of each other.

And don’t forget, our Thin Cuts are on sale this month! Save 25% on individual sets and 30% on select bundles! Click here to shop!

Do you love to craft?

When I ask someone to host a party, this is what I hear. 

I would love to, but I don't have any crafty friends, or I don't have local friends. 

I say invite FRANK. 

Get a piece of paper and start with writing this at the top:

F = Friends
R = Relatives
A = Acquaintances
N = Neighbors (don't forget past neighbors)
K = Kids' Friends' Parents

You may want to include teachers too. 

Lots of people want to learn how to make cards, who wouldn't? Have you seen the price of a Hall Mark card lately?  Wowser!!!

Did you know we have lots of tools to help make your party a success? 

We can set up your party online too, so that even people across the country can go to my website and join your party.  Once I setup your party, you will receive an email where you can invite all your friends no matter where they live to join your party and their purchases count toward your party sales.  How cool is that? 

Let me know if you would like to host a party and earn Free Close To My Heart products.
