This year will mark my 5-year anniversary with Close To My Heart. I have loved every single minute of this whole adventure. While I know doing what I do doesn't excite all of you, I do know that you all LOVE to craft!!

I have a fabulous opportunity for you to be able to earn awesome NEW products from the Spring/Summer Idea Book for FREE by purchasing the Close To My Heart products you love!! Having done this now for 5 years has allowed me to increase my CTMH stash of goodies which in-turn will benefit all of you as I can provide fun new incentives and give-aways!! If you were in a club before you will want to rejoin...I PROMISE!! :o) Here's how it works:

You can choose from two different club durations:
The 6 Month Club runs parallel to the Spring/Summer Idea Book from February to July, and you spend $25 each month (plus S&H and Tax). There are 6 spots in this club of which you can have more than one spot if you choose to. You will then be the Hostess and earn FREE product for each club spot you hold.

OR

The 12 Month Club which runs parallel to both the Spring/Summer Idea Book from February to July AND to the Autumn/Winter Idea Book from August to January. You will spend $15 each month (plus S&H and Tax). There are 12 spots in this club of which you can have more than one spot if you chose to. For instance if you want one during the S/S Idea Book and one during the A/W Idea Book you would take 2 spots. You will be the Hostess and earn FREE product for each club spot you hold.

When it is your Hostess Month you will receive an email explaining the details again so you don't have to remember all of this. You can choose from stamp sets, paper packets, stickers and complements, ink pads, markers, re-inkers, cardstock, acrylic blocks, Workshop on the Go Kits, Studio J Memberships, and Studio J 5-Packs.

In addition to being the hostess, ALL members will receive:

February.

until the beginning of August.
2) A FREE gift just for joining!!
3) A FREE Stamp of the Month during hostess month!!
4) One month of being the hostess earning at least $25 in FREE Hostess Rewards!! (Hostesses average $40-$60 or more in FREE Product plus 1 half-priced item or 1 Hostess

Today I have created a masculine birthday card using the Gallery sketch from Wishes. I love this Stamp of the Month because I could make 10 of these cards, and then just circle the month and day of the person's birthday! Cool huh!!
I was going through my stash of paper, and usually have trouble mixing patterns from different paper packs, but this time I was looking for specific colors. I chose a Desert Sand pattern from Bella (retired) and a Twilight colored pattern from Grace (retired). How'd I do??
I love that I was able to cut out the circles with my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and stamp on them. I stamped a pattern from Love Life and added a Kraft Border to finish it off.

Supplies:
Bamboo Cardstock
Bella paper
Grace paper
Kraft Border
Cocoa ink
Love Life
Happy Birthday

CTMH--- Gift Wrapping Art Philosophy Style

noreply@blogger.com (roxybonds) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 02:38:00 +0000

A few days ago when I started wrapping presents, I got out my little tiny gift bags I had in the closet and put a couple of gifts in them. Well I ran out of those... so I decided to make a couple myself with my Art Philosophy Cartridge. Well that turned into making a whole bunch and tossing those store bought ones!

Art Philosophy is the most amazing Cricut Cartridge! It has several bags and boxes to choose from and they're all great for gift wrapping!

Here's a large pillow box I made. It's big enough to hold a set of cards, but I put a gift card and a coupon inside. Paper: Believe, Stamps: Holiday Wishes, Art Philosophy Tags

Chinese Take-out box. Perfect size for wrapping up an ornament for my work exchange. Paper: Roxie. Stamps: Art Philosophy Seasons, December 25th.

Wonderland Take-out box: Wrap a pretty ribbon around it and voila! This one holds Jewel Kade Jewelry. Paper: Wonderland. Stamps: December 25th.

Sonoma Bag: Again, holding Jewel Kade Jewelry. Paper: Sonoma. Tree & Tag cut with Art Philosophy too

Believe Bag: Once again- Jewel Kade Jewelry. Paper: Believe. Stamps: Believe WOTG

Believe Fry Box: This one, cut at 8" is plenty big for a gift card. Tag cut with Art Philosophy too. Paper: Believe. Stamps: December 25th.

All products are available to purchase on my website HERE, including the amazing Cricut Art Philosophy Bundle!

Remember, when you spend $25, you can add this Rock the Block special on for only $15 (savings of $30).

For the last 4 years, I have created 12x12 scrapbooked calendars for my parents, my in-laws and for myself. The first two years, I did traditional scrapbooked pages on the calendars.

Both mom's commented on how beautiful the pages were and how much lighter and thinner the calendar was! Not to mention, they could be fully embellished without the bulk!

You can see last year's calendar feature HERE

So of course, here are this year's pages:

January: Magic Moments

February: Sweetheart

March: Lucky

April: Sophia

May: Let's Get Together

June: It's a Guy Thing

July: Fanfare

August: Boo!

October: Hooligans

Create the triangular base of this calendar by folding a 12" × 12" piece of chipboard at the 3" and 7 1/2" marks.
Insert three pins from the Bling assortment (Z1466) and clip the sharp ends if they protrude too much. (Tip: You can use hot glue on the back to anchor the pins.)
Cut twelve 3 1/2" scalloped squares from Pear cardstock using the shape on the Cricut^® Art Philosophy cartridge (Z1686) and sponge the edges with Pear ink.
Cut twelve 3 1/2" squares from Grey Flannel cardstock and sponge edges with Grey Flannel ink.
Use the 3" chipboard squares from the My Creations^® memory game (Z1614) for the date tiles. Stamp the background flower pattern in second generation using Grey Flannel ink and then stamp the month or numbers with black StazOn^® ink. Sponge the edges with Grey Flannel ink. (Tip: Stamp two of numbers 1 and 2. Stamp one each of numbers 3 – 9 and 0.)
Back each month and date tile with the 24 pieces of cardstock and then punch a hole in the top for easy hanging.

Art Canvas

Cut a piece of cardstock to the size of your canvas. (Tip: Do all your stamping and inking first before attaching the cardstock to the canvas.)
Select four or five alphabet stamp sets, varying the size and styles. (Tip: You can create this “subway art” look with whatever alphabet sets you have on hand.)
Choose a few simple icon stamps to fill in empty areas.
Play around with the placement and spacing of the letters and icons before stamping.
Stamp the words and icons with black StazOn^® ink.
Attach the finished cardstock piece using a thin coat of Mod Podge applied to the canvas.

Vase

Cut out 130 2" scalloped circles from Grey Flannel cardstock using the shape on the Cricut^® Art Philosophy cartridge (Z1686) or by punching the circles using the 2" scallop circle punch (Z1392).

Staple the circles together in stacks of five.

Squeeze and scrunch the edges then adhere two stapled sets together on the flat sides to create a spherical shape.

Sponge edges with Grey Flannel ink if desired.
Place the finished flowers inside a glass carafe or vase.
Wrap Sweet Leaf ribbon from the Designer Ribbon green collection (Z1616) around the neck of the vase to accent.

Don't some of these just look so easy and cool! I'm definitely going to do the calendar one! Great gift ideas I think!

Today I have created a heart shaped treat bag using the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. This quick and easy treat bag will be for my daughter for Valentine's Day. This one features the retired "Sweetheart" Paper pack and Wings level 2 ribbons. I used some white daisy ric rac as a hanger/handle.
The Mad About You SOTM is a cricut-friendly stamp set, so I was able to cut out the circle shape and then stamp the border in black. My sentiment is stamped in Tulip Ink.
I will create another for my son using the Roxie paper pack- to look a little more boy-ish.

CTMH--- Art Philosophy Banner Christmas Tree

noreply@blogger.com (roxybonds) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 05:34:00 +0000

What have YOU created for the Holidays this year???

My biggest project this season has definitely been this Christmas Tree:

I just LOOOVE how it turned out! Here's how I made it:

First of all, the idea came from a project I saw at convention by Sara Batkin. I used ALL Close To My Heart products on the tree, and tons of cuts with my Cricut Art Philosophy!

I used two packages of these banners. I found that I could cut the banner shape on the Art Philosophy Cartridge to 7" to fit the banners :)

The papers used are the Olive diamond pattern from Lucky, and Olive Cardstock

I stamped some tiny ornaments in Olive ink, then added some Sparkles to them

I created over 40 rolled flowers (remember THIS post). I used them to create a "garland" across my tree.

I used hemp to tie each banner together, then cranberry ribbon to make bows (and keep the pieces together too). Even though its all tied up, I had to tape some cardboard across the backs of the rows to secure them really good!

Here's some detail for you :)
