Top 10 Favorites - #3

The new Core and Supplemental Catalogs are here and I have some new favorite items for my crafting stash.

#3 - Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking Subscription.

What is it?
A subscription Cardmaking Kit sent straight to your door to create at your leisure.

How much is it?
$100 (for 4 month subscription) or $232.50 (for 12 month subscription)

What's included in the price?
Each delivery includes materials to create a set of beautiful, handmade cards, that will come together in a snap thanks to pre-printed card bases, die-cut shapes, embellishments, trims, an exclusive My Acrylix^® stamp set, a stamping block and mini ink pads. You’ll have all the pieces you need to create your cards just the way you want them. The September-December Kit includes materials to create 24 cards.

What's different about this Kit?
This kit is preprinted, diecut, and ready to assemble. There's no cutting of papers or cardstocks. Score!

My favorite part about it?
The stampset and a mini ink pad are included. It is shipped straight to my door. It comes in a flippin cute box. I get to create when I have the time and brainspace to do so. If that's at 3am while waiting for the house to cool down in middle of summer? Perfect. During naptime? Mmhmm. While on holidays down the coast at a little beachside unit? Girl, invite me along!

What else is needed to complete the kit?
At minimum, an Adhesive Runner, Foam Dots, Glue Dots, Scissors, Versamat, Stamp Shammy, Spritz, and a Pen. Any extra items will be listed on the instruction sheets in the kit. Note: purchasing a subscription is a separate transaction and cannot be combined with other items in your cart. Subscribe first, add tools to your cart, then check out.

How long is this available to order?
The 4 month subscription is available to order until December 31, 2019. Get all the details and subscribe here! Cards not your thing? You can subscribe for Scrapbooking too!

I made up a quick lil "just because" card for a mate who is in the throes of her final weeks at uni.

Voila! My happy mail has been sent, received, and opened! A lil card for my mate in the throes of her last weeks of uni. 😊 😉 😎 😇 All it takes is a few bits. Bits of #Seaside paper, some embossed cardstock, sequins, and a couple stamps = this lovely card.

In print

I love love LOVE seeing my custom design work in print!

In today's mail was our invitation to my middle brother Erik's wedding. He and his fiance Rachel chose a lovely set of pictures to use. With their input, and lots of 3-5am bedtimes (on my end!), this is the finished product. I'm pleased with how it turned out!

Now I get to do another custom order.... their programs! Oh my, I'm busy! Invitations, programs, being one of the bridesmaids....

Got my dress...

Got my shoes...

Now, on to the programs.

Breaking news

For all the lovelies out there wondering about the new D-ring albums....

They're here! *happy dance*Here's the information direct from Corporate's email today:

Album Update: D-Ring Now Available, Faux Leather Inventory Status

"Our first shipment of the new My Legacy™ D-Ring albums has arrived, and we are making them immediately available to order. This first shipment contained a limited number of the 2 styles of D-ring albums (slate and cocoa), and we expect the stock to be depleted soon. Rather than placing the albums on backorder, we will be making them unavailable to order once the inventory is depleted, until we receive additional stock of the albums. Because the albums will be arriving in multiple shipments, they may be made unavailable multiple times over the coming weeks.

Also, please be aware that as we transition from the faux leather albums to the coated canvas albums, we anticipate some of the faux leather albums to become unavailable as well. Because of the vast difference in album quantities on hand, it is not feasible to provide a gauge indicating percentage of stock on hand; however, we will strive to keep you apprised of album availability.

Currently, the Dark Cranberry album (Z1343) and the Hollyhock album (Z1344) are the lowest in stock, with an outage of the Dark Cranberry likely within the week. At current sales levels, stock of the Hollyhock album is anticipated to last through mid-June. Both the Dark Chocolate (Z1342) and the Outdoor Denim (Z1346) may experience a brief backorder in May as the last of our material is manufactured into completed albums. Once all the completed albums are manufactured, we will have a large enough inventory of these two colors to easily last through the current Idea Book’s season ending 31 July, 2014."

You can order these here, along with the rest of the fabulous ranges from Close To My Heart. Don't forget the double up promotions for May: Free To Be Me and Stamp of the Month. Any questions? Contact me! I'm here to help and to show you how.

Happy Mail

A bit of happy mail arrived today. From who? CTMH corporate office in Utah! A belated Christmas card! :D

National Papercrafting Month

Join me on Cloud 9!

You can get an exclusive Cloud Nine cardmaking kit for $20 (retail value $59 AUD) with a qualifying purchase of $55 or more (excluding tax and shipping) during January in celebration of National Papercrafting Month. Make 10 adorable cards (2 each of 5 designs) with funky messages to put any recipient on cloud nine! You can add one cardmaking kit for every $55 in your order*.

Watch the video below and then contact me for more details.



*Note that Cloud Nine cardmaking kits do not count toward qualifying order totals. The retail value of the order is totaled prior to determining promotional kit eligibility. For example, if you purchase $100 in retail items, and add a single card kit for $20, that $120 purchase does NOT qualify you to add a second promotional kit. The qualifying base purchase is exclusive of promotional cardmaking kits

Happy papercrafting!

Happy mail

A friend from home sent me this cute little seal card for Valentine's Day last year. I had it pinned to my wall and then thought of this page in my crush book. Perfect! The envelope is still fully functional so you can flip up and remove the card. The other card is from my director Susan in Sydney. I won a contest in our business group on facebook and this was my prize!

My latest page. I'm cutting out and putting in a picture of my prize under the celebrate card.

The announcement on our group. I won!

My prize! A barn red exclusive inks pad and a set of harvest baker's twine! Yay!

I'm really loving My Crush book. I'm tempted to get another one and fill it with things that are my happy. And with stamps from the You Are My Happy trio that's on special this month.

What's your happy?

Yay!

I'm getting my supplies all set up for the Virtual Crop tonight and I've had a great day so far!

I had a lovely long sleep in. I checked the mail on my way out and found my order of Vistaprint address labels has arrived super quick and they look great! I had a lovely walk down to Subway with a mate and her 6month old son for a quick lunch. I got home, made myself a cuppa and got my computer booted up to find I'd won a prize pack from one of my directors! YAY!

Yay! They turned out so good! Now my business cards, address labels and post cards all match!

Woohoo! I won a group competition and have a packet of goodies coming my way! :D

Are you joining me on facebook for the virtual crop tonight? I'll be posting my results of the challenges and any tips or tricks I pick up along the way.

When you give, you receive

For most of you, you'll know that I have two adorable bubbies waiting up in Heaven. I go to a fabulous support group of like minded mummies in Mt Gravatt, SIDS and Kids QLD. A couple weeks ago, I mailed out a card to Robyna (one of my mummy friends) who was going through a rough period with her son's first anniversary. I like getting cards around my babies special dates so I figured she would too.

On Friday, she blessed me and returned the favor with this stunner! Thank you so much Robyna! She even added both my babies names in the design! :o :D

I got my first order last week and promptly made a happy birthday card for my favorite barista Alex at The Coffee Club Logan Mega Centre. I dropped it off yesterday before he got in, and stopped by to visit after work to double check he got it. I got a big hug and kiss and "Thank you! Did you make that?!" from him. :D I like to remember birthdays and decided I would make one for him too. I think it made his day!

Join me in the fun and spread the happy! :)
