Cloud Nine - Winter Special! January 1-31


Hello!  Happy January!  Did you know that it's National Papercrafting Month?  It is, and Close To My Heart is celebrating with the Cloud Nine winter special.  It's only available during the month of January with your qualifying order (spend $35 and get the kit for just $15!)

You can also get the kit for FREE when you sign up to become a Close To My Heart consultant in January and you submit $300 in orders before June 30.

Here's the goodies that come in the kit.  On the far left (that you can barely see) is a pack of cards and envelopes.  It also comes with instructions on how to put the cards together.  The white sheet has a bunch of cutouts (already punched).  After you've made these original cards up, you can cut more shapes out with your Cricut cartridge.  (yippee!)



Included in the Kit:
Cutting guide and instructions
Exclusive to this kit, Swirly Sunset B&T paper
Sunset Card Stock
Lagoon Card Stock
Cutouts for the projects
Stamp set (see below)

(NEW!) Triangle Studs Durables (also sold separately - Z1928, $3.95 for 48 studs in 2 sizes and 2 colors)!

Close up of the stamp set:





Not a big fan of mustaches, but the other stamps I like ok. 
Here's the 5 "official" cards that you can make in the pack:
(I stamped everything in Lagoon...)


Oops, I rotated the card before I put the mustache on.  I kind of like it...it's a faceless face.


 Love the clouds...and the Star Trek-like triangles...


I cut a tiny glitter heart out of the Shimmer Trim by hand.


This card (above) is my favorite out of the kit. 




Still dealing with my Washi Tape Phobia...but I may be getting the hang of it...

Here's a couple more that I made with some leftover pieces...


I adhered the Teal Glitter Tape to a piece of paper that was 3/4" wide, trimmed the bottom and made it another flag.  The dots on the corners are from the Aqua Dots embellishments (Z1853, $3.95 for 108 dots in 4 different sizes and 3 different colors)


I used one of the larger hearts in the kit and made like a heart with an arrow through it.  The reason the stamped image is fuzzy, is I twisted it after my original stamp.  It blurs the stamped image.  I like it, even though it's a little weird looking.  Also, I used some Paradise Assortment Baker's Twine (Z1702, $4.95 for 10 yards each of 4 different colors).  The twine is one of my favorite accessories!

I hope your year is filled with blessings, smiles and good health,  Like the beauty pageant contestant says - I wish for WORLD PEACE.  (With all the people wishing for it, why is it that we are still searching for it??)
