Top 10 Favorites - #6

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

#6 - Paper Envelopes.

What is it?
A clear 12"x12" envelope in the same style as our Stampset Envelopes.

How much is it?
$20 + shipping

What's included in the price?
3 envelopes

What's different about this?
This is not a new product for these catalogs, it is a new product to me! I bit the bullet and bought a pack of these last month as a trial for storage of my papers and kits. Guess what? I'm sold.

My favorite part about it?
The envelope is the same style as our Stampset Envelopes. It has a slit in the main part for the fold over flap to slot into. It holds 12x12 sheets of paper perfectly. No more bent corners! While all of our paper packets come in a ziptop clear bag, these envelopes are sturdier and won't split at the sides when pulling papers out.

What else can I put in it?
What are you taking to your next crop? Put that project in an envelope. Have scraps from 2 different projects from one paper collection? Put those in. Have some memorabilia from a trip that you want to keep tidy until you can scrap them? Booyah. Paintings and drawings and artwork from your kids? Pop em in these too. Need somewhere to put your copy of the 2 current catalogs and keep your wishlist with them? Done. The options are endless!

How long is this available to order?
Unless sold out earlier, this is kit is available to order until August 31, 2020. Add a pack to your next order and tell me how you like them!

Organization

I'm a bit of a messy scrapper. I like to have EVERYTHING out on the table as I work so I can see and grab things as the moment dictates. I'm sure it must bug my husband as our dining table disappears regularly! When I have to clear off and pack away, I love the organization goodies from Close To My Heart.

I was flipping through the Annual Inspirations Book this afternoon and fleshing out my workshop ideas. I got to the Snowhaven Cardmaking Kit page and realized that I didn't think I had all the ink colors necessary. I hopped off my computer, went to my dining table, grabbed my inks and my checklist, and marked off what I had. Now I know that I need to order cranberry instead of a ruby ink. :)

I made up this color chart months ago as an easy visual way to keep track of what I had with inks and cardstock packs. I printed it off as an 8x10 photo and marked off with a sharpie as my ink collection grows.

Pretty easy eh? If you'd like a copy of my color chart, let me know and I'll send one out to you after your first order.

I keep my inks in these towers available in my shop. I have them sorted in ROYGBIV order. As a bonus, the mini stamps also fit in the tower if you've run out of places to put them!

For my blocks, I use the small organizer and My Acrylix™ Blocks Foam Insert. It keeps my blocks easily organized and protected between uses and while in transit. I highly recommend them! It also makes it very easy for me to see which blocks I don't have. I nearly forgot to order one block size!

I store my embellishments, stamp scrubber and spritz, various Picture My Life cards, and extra trimmer blades in a medium organizer. I've got my eye on a large organizer for all my stamps. What's really nice about the organizer boxes is they all stack very nicely and save space on my table.

If you've been um-ing and ah-ing over an easy way to dip your toe into Close to my Heart's range of items, I suggest starting with an ink or two, a block or two, and the small organizer. It's sturdy, lightweight, and easily portable.

Organizing Your Supplies

Now that I've been using and loving the scrapbooking and papercrafting ranges from Close To My Heart, I'm running out of space to store things. I've seen other sister consultants using the various sizes of organizer boxes at events and I've been drooling ove them.

Did you know that Close To My Heart has a range of organizers for your supplies? A marker tower, stamp pad tower, small/medium/large boxes, foam inserts? Well, we do!

Currently I have the entire range of mini pigment inks in the matching foam insert. (I need the small organizer box for these inks.) I have two of the stamp pad towers. I didn't get the marker tower as I already have a marker storage solution I love.

My old "other company" pens and pen cups.
They still work just fine after 6+ years!

Next up on my wishlist is the small and medium organizer boxes. Holy moly, these babies are ALL OVER the web!

Source: pinterest CTMH Small, Medium, Large organizers. Great storage!

I didn't think of using the small box for storing my washi tape. Now I really need to get one! :D

Pocket scrapbookers of all lines love the medium boxes for storing their 3x4 and 4x6 cards. I've got only 4 of our Picture My Life card kits and I'm storing them in plastic sandwich bags.

PML kits seen L to R: Surf's Up, Balloon Ride, Laughing Lola, Skylark.
I've got nothing else on hand at the moment that will keep them corralled! I need to fix this.

Are you looking for something to keep all your Picture My Life, project life, Becky Higgins or other brand of pocket scrapbooking cards in order? Consider the medium organizer from Close To My Heart. It's stackable, portable, only $25AUD + postage. You can purchase them directly from my website and have shipped straight to your door. Bargain! Once you have one in your hot little hands, you'll probably wish you'd gotten two.

Why not order an organizer box or two today and get all your crafting goodies safely organized and stored. Crafting is so much easier (and enjoyable) when you have everything you need at your fingertips. You'll be supporting a small business and getting a fantastic selection of exclusive products.

I really really really appreciate your business! Thank you!
