Wild Thing, I Think I Love You!

 Well, I know I love the February Stamp of the Month, Wild about Love, anyway!

I made this card for my open house a little while ago, and just can't get enough of these adorable foxes!  The striped paper is from the Babycakes Paper Packet.

This sentiment is super to use in a scrapbook page too!  I have a certain little "wild child" that it will be perfect for, lol!

The sentiment on the inside of the card is awesome with the woodgrain theme!  Do you have a Wild Thing in your life to make a card for?  ;)

This is a limited time stamp set, so don't wait to get your hands on it--when February disappears, so does the stamp!  :)  You can purchase Wild about Love at full retail price of $17.95, or you can get it at a huge discount for just $5 with a $50 purchase on my website!  Check it out HERE!  ALSO!  Check out the adorable My Acrylix set that I am giving away to one lucky winner in February...details below!

Introducing the Close to My Heart Spring and Summer 2014 Idea Book!

The time is finally here!

Today, we proudly unveil the 2014 Spring and Summer Idea Book!  Everyone is ready for warmer weather and longer days, and this is the perfect little step into Spring!  (Unfortunately for those of us in the midwest, we are getting HAMMERED with snow again!!!  Go away, Winter!)

There are SEVEN brand new paper packets in this issue!   Not only that, but GUESS WHAT!?  Close to My Heart now carries a variety of EMBOSSING FOLDERS!!!  I am so excited to get my hands on these!  (More about them below!)  Let me think...oh yes, PINK GLITTER PAPER, three new colors of shimmer trim:  teal and PURPLE sold individually and a beautiful gold sold in the Ivy Lane Cardmaking WOTG!!!!  I am just crazy excited about these new products, and cannot wait to show you more easy ways to use them.  You can view it on my website now!

If you would like a copy of the new Idea Book and are not local to me, NO PROBLEM!  Just place an order of at least $50 on my website and I will send you one completely FREE.  They are actually quite expensive to mail, as they have to go priority, so this would help cover the shipping for me.

No more sneak peeks of this Stamp of the Month!  HERE it is!!!!  It is called Wild about Love and here for February ONLY!  You can get it at full price at $17.95, OR for JUST $5 with a $50 order on my website!  

ALSO, February is a month of LOVE, so I am spreading the LOVE to my customers with a special offer JUST from me!!!

THIS month, when you place a $50 order and add this Adorable Stamp of the Month for just $5 through me or on my website, I will enter your name into a drawing and choose one winner to receive THIS Size C My Acrylix stamp set, Lifting Spirits, with a $13.95 value!

New Close to My Heart Idea Book Sneak Peeks!

Happy Friday!  I am so completely excited that I just completed three challenges in one sitting!  Do you even know how crazy that sounds?!  Let's get right down to it because this one has some going ON!  ;)

The first thing you might have noticed is that I used the awesome sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Yes, I did flip it on it's side...the card is kinda wild like that.  ;)

OK, the SECOND thing you might have noticed is that I used a technique that is totally NEW to me! (Since the codeword over at Addicted to CAS is NEW, I am linking up over there with this one, too!)

I have never used a stencil before...or spritzed my paper with anything except water.  It was SO much fun that I just might try it more often!  You won't believe what I used for the stencil...

This is the remnant left after I punched out all the chipboard hearts from the Close to My Heart Dimensional Elements Hearts that coordinate with the cuts from the Art Philosophy Collection!  I cannot believe we have to say good-bye to these at the end of the month!  And to think I JUST figured out to do THIS with it!  Sigh...

Really, it was super-easy to combine just a bit of Isopropyl Alcohol with my Ruby Re-Inker in one of my Spray Pens.  I sprayed it just three times so it would not cover it completely...and I love the result!

Alright, moving along...the My Acrylix Stamp set that I used for this card is actually a sneak peek of the Stamp of the Month for February!  Since that is NEW as well, I am also linking up over at Heart to Heart Challenges for their New Year, New Beginnings Challenge.

I adore this sentiment!  It coordinates with the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection, so matching up the stamp was easy-peasy.  I cut the little heart out of Ruby CS and added a touch of Liquid Glass to make it look like a little enamel sticker!  Super-cute!  A little once-over with my Wink of Stella glitter brush never hurt anyone either.  ;)

Behind the sentiment, you can see the retiring Dark Chocolate Striped Grosgrain Ribbon which I love and will miss.  Better pick some up while you can.  Also, some sequins seem to have gotten away from me and somehow flung themselves onto the card!  I guess they wanted to bling it up a bit!  The large ones are new from Teresa Collins' You are My Happy Collection (totally adorbs!) and the littler brownish ones are also a sneak peek at some of the new embellies coming in the CTMH Spring and Summer Idea Book!  I sure cannot wait!

Thanks for stopping in today, and come back anytime!  :)
