Core Catalog New Product Blog Hop!

Welcome to our BLOG HOP!

Today, my creative Close to my

Heart consultant friends and I

are sharing what we've created

using NEW PRODUCTS

from our beautiful 100 page

annual CORE PRODUCTS catalog!

If you've just arrived here from

STEFANI's BLOG

then you are on the correct path.

I hope you are inspired by the two standard-size cards

I created using the following NEW core products:

D1947 From the Funny Farm stamp set

Z3779 Wishing You Everything stamp set (+ thin cuts)

X8016B Party Time paper packet

X8016C Party Time coordinating cardstock

X8017 Wood Grain paper packet

Z3850 Pink Acrylic Hearts

Z3804 Yellow Acrylic Stars

The "Happy Birthday" sentiments are not

from a stamp set, they are cut from zips strips

included in the Party Time paper packet!

Now you can continue on with the blog hop

and be inspired by more creativity using

new core catalog products by visiting 

BRANDI's BLOG next!

Annual Inspirations 2016 New Product Blog Hop!!

THANK YOU for stopping by to enjoy our

Annual Inspirations 2016

New Product Blog Hop!!

Today, 25 consultant artists are sharing artwork
they've created using NEW products

featured in the Annual Inspirations 2016 catalog

from Close to my Heart!

If you've just arrived here from BRENDA's BLOG
then you are on the correct path. 
  

For me, one of the most exciting new additions
to our basic CTMH product line, was the
NEW Color of the year!...SEA GLASS!!

It's a beautiful shade of light teal that I
immediately fell in love with and couldn't
wait to use. I also joined a team card swap
this month, so I needed to come up with a
card design to duplicate (16 times) and 
mail to my fellow consultant swappers.

First, I gathered a few materials I knew I wanted 
to use (including SEA GLASS glitter paper Z3240
and a SEA GLASS mini pigment ink pad Z2507)
and then began experimenting. I colored the sea shells 
above and below with watercolor paints and let dry.
(NEW stamp sets I used are 
Swirly Seashells C1664,
and Way to Go D1700).

As you can see, this project involved A LOT of watercoloring and hours of 
detailed cutting!! BUT it was a labor of love and I was really pleased with
the end result...a lovely card I was proud to send/share with my
fellow consultant artists. I hope it inspires you too! Enjoy!!

Now you can continue on with the hop

and be inspired by more creative artwork

and ideas by visiting KRISTA's BLOG next.

Enjoy the hop!!

Color changes, Open House, and Online Ordering Announcements!!

Okay, so I am home from the Close to my Heart annual Convention

and there are so many exciting new things to tell you about,

I hardly know where to begin!!

 

I think it's probably best to start revealing things gradually

and one at a time, so here is my first announcement...

there are some big changes coming to our

Exclusive Color palette!

7 NEW Colors are being added to

the Enchantment Color family!

This means that 7 of our current colors have to go:

 

At first, I wasn't thrilled about this change because I

love our current colors so much, BUT...

when you see the new colors you are gonna LOVE

them too! I was completely "Wow"ed by them!

 

The new colors names are:

Eggplant, Fern, Peacock, Pomegranate,

Poppy, Saffron, and Sapphire!

 

...but if you want to SEE them before September 1st

you will want to plan to join me for my

NEW Catalog Reveal Open House

on Friday, August 14th (7-9pm)!

More details will be coming soon, but for now...

Please SAVE THE DATE!

 

I do anticipate that the ink pads, cardstocks,

(and re-inkers especially!) may sell out quickly,

so if you are a collector of these items

you won't want to wait to order them now!!

 

Online orders can be placed with me at:

www.StampwithJen.ctmh.com

and I will be mailing/giving away FREE new Idea Books

(including the NEW Holiday Expressions!)

starting August 24th to anyone who places any size

online order with me in July or August!

Don't forget to take advantage of the "Jump on it July"

promotion while you're visiting my online shopping

section, and there are quite a few new additions to the 

"while supplies last" section also! :)
