NEW Close To My Heart Products - Installment 1

As promised, I'm back to tell you about some of our brand new Close To My Heart products that debuted yesterday in the new Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I'll be talking about 3 new products today.   I'll also be breaking new product descriptions and my thoughts on them into several posts, so keep checking back over the next few weeks for more, more and more.

1.  The first product I wanted to focus on is the new Artbooking CTMH/Cricut Cartridge.  This is the 3rd exclusive cartridge that CTMH has collaborated on with Cricut and it's revolutionary!  You're gonna LOVE it, my friends!  It takes all of the guess work out of scrapbooking for you!  There are still the hard to believe 700 images in this cartridge this time, just like the other two, but this is a cartridge with a twist.  I am pretty excited about it!  It will help you take your scrapbooking to never-before-seen levels!  With oodles of images in each of 15 layout themes, you can create several coordinating pages for each theme using just two keys and one dial size. For instance, if you are creating a 12"x 12" page, just set your size at 11" and it will cut every single page piece to size for a 12" x 12" page (like the layout below). No more guessing on title sizes, accent sizes, etc! Images include accents, borders, titles, overlays, photo mats (in standard photo sizes) and more! Check out the layout below that was beautifully made with this cartridge. In addition to the new font and page designs, this cartridge also includes 10 themed mini-books (like the one below), also optimized for several different sizes using just two keys and one dial size!  Celebrate birthdays, new baby, vacations, friends, sports, Halloween, Christmas and more!

The collection comes with the cartridge, an instructional book as well as pages of each key's images, 3 sets of coordinating stamps and 3 coordinating sheets of chipboard shapes.  All of this for only $99.

2.  Our new Base and Bling Wearable Craft Collections:   You can now show off your creativity anywhere you go with our new Base and Bling wearable crafting projects.  You will love dressing up these affordable, lightweight fashion accessories with our textiles and specially designed Base & Bling adhesive-backed jewels and accents - so simple and quick, you'll want to make several items in different colors. See and purchase the Base and Bling products on my website here.

There are many base and bling options to choose from!

There's even a workshop kit to make this very necklace for only $14.95!

I personally made the necklace in the photo above and it took less than an hour! Easy, peasy, lemon squeasy!

3.  The last product I wanted to feature today is one that EVERY scrapbooker and card maker needs!  It is the scrapbooking and card making how-to magazine:  Make it from Your Heart - Volume 2.  This 48 page volume is essential for creating beautiful scrapbook layouts and cards.  With patterns inspired by Jeanette Lynton it features sixteen 2-page layout patterns, two 1- page layout patterns, and 12 different card patterns. You'll also find detailed blueprints, cutting diagrams, full-color artwork, and helpful hints for the creating process.  In addition to being affordable, it's lightweight, softbound and easy to carry to crops and club nights.

These 2 quick pics were taken with my awful phone camera but I wanted you to get the idea:
