This weeks mojo monday sketch

So this week I used our Flirty Paper. This one was really a challenge for me. I thought the original was busy so I changed it up some, the third backgroud strip ended up being dots of pink instead of a solid piece. In the end, I like it. :)

To order you some Flirty paper head on over to my website.

Some of my Favorite things.....

Posted in | at 10:22 AM

Today I'm posting about some of my favorite things by Close to my Heart.

First up...Liquid Glass

Apply this clear liquid to your stamped images, My Stickease™ art, or any other item for an extra bit of 3-D sparkle and shine. The fine-tip applicator lets you apply it precisely where you want for a glossy, glaze-like look. You can also use this as adhesive and make dots to look like gems! To purchase this awesome versatile stuff click here.

Next up are the TWO exclusive to close to my heart cricut cartridges.

Art Philosophy and the newest Artiste comes with 3 stamp sets and 3 sets of dimensional elements that all coordinate with the cartridge.

They are both great cartridges, the Artiste has even more 3d items you can make that also comes with a instructional booklet too. I have both and love them both. In fact I havent used another cartridge yet since receiving these. :) To purchase these click here

The other thing that I absolutely LOVE are their ink pads.

Our Exclusive Inks® stamp pads offer an innovative in-lid pad to keep ink close to the surface. Labeled on three sides for quick reference, each pad is stackable, closes securely, and features a patented swivel base for easy access to the entire pad surface. Each is approximately 3 1/8" × 4" and contains dye-based or pigment-based ink that is vivid, luxurious, and true in color. It’s also archival safe and pH-neutral. Refresh a used stamp pad with a matching re-inker, available in every Exclusive Inks color.

These are the best I've tried. I'm working at getting more of these, just like shoes, have to have one of each color! ;)

And finally......

The STAMPS!!!!

This one is the Enjoy stamp set, I love this and all of them! I have this one which is perfect for me when I want to bake something fresh for someone and need to make the perfect tag or wrap for it....

Our premium-quality decorative stamps are offered at a fraction of the cost of rubber, yet deliver all the benefits and beauty of every Close To My Heart product you’ve come to know and love. They’re easy to use, simple to store, and most importantly, offer creative control and artistic precision every time you use them.

Our exclusive clear blocks allow you to see exactly where the stamp is placed and whether there is even coverage of the ink. You can choose a block that perfectly fits an individual image, or design your own “scenes” by placing multiple images on a larger-size block. You can also manipulate the stamp images on the block to create curves or waves. Stamps have a “memory,” and will always go back to their original shape.

My Acrylix® stamps are made of a softer substance than rubber and don’t require as much pressure when in use. My Acrylix stamps provide the same results when used with embossing products, markers, watercolors, and more.

Mojo Monday

This was the sketch for the Mojo Monday fun. Here is my version using the Avonlea papers from CTMH.

I inked the edges in Slate ink. I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut out the shape for the sentiment which I used the It's your Day Double stamp set for the saying. Notice that must have tape there, yea the silver one, yep its Close to my Heart also, It's our new Silver Shimmer trim. It is a tape! LOVE IT, So pretty and durable.

Thank you Card

Posted in | at 6:01 PM

Want to see a really cool Thank you card? I am just loving this new Artiste cartridge!

So my neighbors got word that today is my Birthday and put a sweet card in my mail box. :) Sweet! So I was super excited at their thoughtfulness and the fact that it gave me a reason to make these awesome cards, I made two the same.

When you open the card, inside is this yummy almond joy candy! I then wrote a personalized letter inside expressing my Joy! I used the paper from Avonlea, again, it was super easy to know which papers to use, cux I already know that these all go together! Close to my Heart took all the guesswork out for me. I used the chocolate ink to sponge the edges and stamp the coordinating stamps(that match the paper) onto the white part of the card. If you too would like to make something sweet for your peeps, come on over and join the Launch Party on my website. I'd love to have you!
