A Day To Play!

Well it has been awhile since I have been able to create.  So here goes!  I love our new PML (Picture My Life) program.  The cards are so cute and they are ready to use.  You can use them as intended by placing them in the page protectors along with your photos and journal on them or decorate them as little or as much as you want.  The nice thing is that you don't have to do anything to them at all if you don't want to.  They are so cute as is.
I was cleaning off my table and it was amazing what I found on there.  I found a Tag/Card base that I cut out on my Cricut from the Art Philosophy cartridge page 50.  Really I don't even remember cutting it out, so that is how long it has gone undiscovered just laying on my table.  I found a doily that I had cut out using Creative Card from my Subscription on my Explore.  The Ribbon piece is just a scrap that was already cut and sponged so hey, I just had to use that too.

Here is what I did with all the pieces I had.  The PML card was a little shorter than the card so I just placed the Tag/Card on my trimmer and cut it off to fit the PML card perfectly.  I then used my corner rounder to round the edges that I just cut off.  No one with ever know.  Well except for us!  

I love to use up my stash and boy did it come together fast.  I cut up the doily to fit on the page where I wanted it.  Stamped the saying in black, the little tree in Ponderosa Pine and the cloud in Crystal Blue.

 The stamp set is the C1578 Camper Crazy and I just love this set.
The RV there yet?  I bet you have heard that a time or two.
I colored in the Trailer with ShinHanart alcohol markers cut it out and backed it with 3-D Foam tape, just to pop it up off the page.   I love to color!!!

On the inside of the card I used another PML card.  Just stick it down and you are done.  I had a piece of  Ribbon on the table and I only had to trim off the end a little
What do you have laying around that you can use up????   You can see all the PML program here
All the products I used are Close To My Heart.

What's new in stamps with CTMH

Here is a short video on just some of the new things that are going on with CTMH and our new Autumn/Winter Idea Book 2013. Take a look!

Creatively Cricut®

Here is a fun filled video on using our Cricut cartridges with the coordinating stamp sets that we carry. It also has a few tricks and tip of some of the things you can do with them too.

Artiste Cricut Cartridge Cuts page 32

Okay well I got a little sidetracked but that is a good thing.  It's the 6th of Aug and I am only on the second page of cuts.  There are so many new things to share with you.  So let's get started.
Here are the cuts I made from page 32 in the Artiste Handbook.  The Card and Envelope are cut at 4", 2 tags cut at 3", Font at 1 1/2", flower and leaves at 1 1/2", Corner piece at 2". 
The Stamp Set I used on the Card is the Stamp of the Month for January 2013 Happy Valentine's S1301.  I use the water color pencils 3505 to color in the Roses and leaves.  I stamped the sentiment from 4 My Friend D1510.  The 3-D project is cut at 2" and stamped with this month's Stamp of the Month Baroque Borders S1208 with the new pigment mini inks set Basic Z2503 in Whisper.  You are going to love these.  You can see them here.  The Happy Birthday is from 4 My Friend D1510.

Here is the sign that I made from page 32 also.  I hung it around the neck of my soap bottle with some ribbon.  It is a bottle that I have had for years and put an olive oil stopper in it.  Now it is my soap dispenser.

The Accent 4/S piece is on the front of my card box holder here.
So all this is just on 1 key on the overlay.  All these images and we have only just begun. You can see that I did not do much to any of the cuts yet they are so cute.  The sky is the limit!
Keep checking back I am trying to post daily on what you can do with the New Artiste Cricut cartridge..  It is so amazing!!!!

Stamp Set Organizing and Storage

One of the things I love the most about Close To My Heart is the My Acrylic Stamp Sets.  They are clear, pliable, and not hard.  They come in a slim plastic carrier that is easy to store and does not take up much room.  We also carry this My Acrylix Organizer for $12.95 #Z1038 that holds 15 stamp sets.

  I use this when I travel too.  I can put all the stamps I need for a class that I am teaching or when I travel.
Since I have so many now here is the way I store mine.  I found these baskets at IKEA for $6.00 each.  They fit the stamps sets perfectly.  Each basket holds a different color.  I arrange them by Color first then by Letter and then by number.  This makes it very easy to find the one I need.  More to come on my Stamp Binder!!!
So here is one of the baskets with the stamp sets in it and did I mention that I can get at least 50 stamp sets in each basket.  Oh yes I can!

As you can see below I offset every other one.  This makes it easy to go through the sets when I am looking for a specific one.  It also makes it easy to see where they go when you put them back. Having all the like colors together is handy too.

Below is how I have them all arranged in my scrap room on the shelves.  Each basket has a color square on the front to let you find that color set, fast.  Well! I guess you already noticed that some have two baskets for a color.  I know! I know!  really do you need that many.  Just remember that I have been using CMTH products for a long time.  Since 1995 and I love them just as much today as I did when I started.  If only I had signed up to be an Independent Consultant then........ If you would like to know more about becoming a consultant too and join my team just let me know.  I will be happy to help you.

I hope this helps with an idea about storing CMTH stamp set.  I don't think you can do this with any other stamp sets, from any other company out there. All my Customers have a great time looking through my binder for just the right stamp they want to use.  I photo copy each set, label it with the name on the stamp set, the number, and the color then place it in my binder.  Check back often to find out more about my binder.  You will love that one too.  Better yet become a follower so you don't miss out.                  How do you store your CMTH stamp sets?  Let me know.
