Retreat!

That's right . . . I've retreated with my Stamp Studio treasures to the mountains of Big Bear Lake, California. It's beautiful up here . . . mountains and trees and critters galore. I've looked. I've seen. I've photographed for more scrapbooking. LOL

Even with the distraction of the beautiful scenery, I've managed to get a lot done. One of the big accomplishments yesterday -- I completed the Workshops on the Go Frosted cardmaking kit. This kit was a breeze -- or should I say a blizzard -- to put together and the results were stunning.

The Frosted cardmaking kit is on page 69 of the new Idea Book and includes everything you need to create 15 stunning cards, even pre-cut cards and envelopes. The only things you need to add are stamp pads and acrylic blocks and some basic tools, like adhesive. Presto, bam . . . 15 cards!

If you'd like to order the kit to complete your Christmas or Holiday cards, just send me an email or leave me a comment and I'll get it to you asap. You'll love the ease and fun of this awesome kit. And that's not all! Laughing Lola (p. 68) is another cardmaking kit, plus you'll discover numerous scrapbooking kits throughout the catalog.

Enjoy! I'm off to make some more cards!

The new card KIT!

That's right! For those of us who love to make cards and can't resist a good card kit, you will want to play with this new addition to the Close To My Heart line of products. Located on page 123 of the Spring/Summer catalog, this kit has everything you need to make 10 3D type cards.

For just $19.95 your kit includes adorable stickers, decorative chipboard, cards AND matching envelopes, the little cups to hold your treats and ideas for assembling the cards. It really was super fun to make although, here are a few tips to make the process go a little better for you.

When attaching the self adhesive little cup, fill with candy, remove the sticker back and line it up with the envelope closed and then set it down on the paper.

When applying the chipboard use a strong glue like Liquid Glass to make it stick.

This is what the card looks like open. You will have extra stickers, so you could potentially add more decoration to the inside as well.

This is your finished card. Isn't it so pretty? I would love to receive this from a friend. Easy and fun to assemble, this card kit is a blast!
