New Close To My Heart Websites!

I guess I outdid myself at the retreat a few weekends ago.  I haven't felt very creative since I've been back. My scrap table is growing cold without me there.   I had good intentions of doing a few things last night but after dinner I went for a walk.  I'm going to try to get back into my daily walking routine.   Sometimes it is hard when I've been gone working all day.   By the time I get home I usually have a list of things I need to do and walking hasn't been on that list.   I'm going to make that a priority now.   After I got back from walking, my daughter was leaving to run over to The Avenue to pick up a pair of shoes she's been wanting.  Her friends were all busy so she was going alone.  She is on spring break this week and I thought it would be fun for a little Mother/Daughter time.  I think she was happy for me to come along.


So, there went another night leaving my scrap table all alone.   I thought this would be a good time to talk about our new Close To My Heart websites.   They are FREE to all consultants which is really cool!  (Another perk to being a consultant!)  So anyone, at any time can shop on our sites!  I love it!  


Here is screen shot of the main page:  The main picture changes every few seconds - showing are special for the month or other great artwork.

Across the top are important links to navigate the website.  I will go over them here:

Ready to SHOP?  Just click on the SHOP link and you are ready to begin!  If you haven't ever shopped on-line before, you can set up an account.  Each time you go back to shop - your information will be there PLUS you'll be able to see what you ordered on-line before!

PRODUCTS- This link will take you to our On-line Idea Book and Studio J Online Scrapbooking.  The Innovative Products section will tell you about all the innovative products that Close To My Heart has produced.    Want to know more about the Art Philosophy Cricut Collection?  Click on the link and find some Tips & Tricks, A Shape Index and more!

OPPORTUNITIES - Interested in being a Hostess?  Or maybe you are thinking about being a Consultant (you'll get one of these cool websites!).  The Opportunities link will provide the information you need to get started.  There is also a link that will share about our favorite charity - Operation Smile.

ABOUT ME - this is where you can find out a little more about ME!  

IDEAS & INSPIRATION - This is a link you'll want to visit often!   Under Project Inspiration, Close To My Heart will post videos on how to use some of our great products.  You will truly be inspired.   Also, included in the Ideas & Inspiration heading is our Workshops On The Go!  This is where you will find additional Layout and Bonus projects that go with the Workshop On The Go kit you purchased.  

PROMOTIONS - And the best link of all?  Promotions of course!  Here is where you'll see our montly specials.  (This month's special - join my team as a Close To My Heart Consultant and you will get the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for FREE!)  Be sure to go check it out.   Also, under Promotions is our Stamp of the Month.  Each month's exclusive stamp has feature artwork and you can find instructions for creating this artwork here!  

Now that we've navigated some of the links, lets discuss the bottom portion of my website!

Each month, Close To My Heart will feature a product. This month is our cute little Sweet Surprises Card Kit.  There is a video about this kit under Ideas & Inspiration!  Next, you'll see our Stamp of the Month.  This is a special stamp that can ONLY be purchased during the current month.   You can get it at a low cost of just $5 when you spend $50.  (Retail value is $17.95).  That's a deal!  

On the right side of the page are my Open parties.  If you'd like to add your order to one of the parties so that the hostess will get credit, just click on the  "JOIN" link.   You don't have to JOIN a party to shop! You can always shop on your own by clicking on SHOP.   If you want to host a on-line gathering - let me know!  I'll get you set up and you can direct your friends to my website to JOIN your party!  It's that EASY!

And the very bottom, are more links to additional information about Close To My Heart.  But more important, my links are there!  You will see my email address, a link to my StampinHeaven Facebook page, a link to my StampinHeaven blog and also my Pinterest.

Something very important to note:  Our new websites no longer have a calendar.  I've added one here on my blog.  You will need to come to my blog to check out my calendar.   Also, our websites no longer have an artwork page but that is what I use my blog for!  So you'll want to visit my blog for artwork ideas by me!

I hope you enjoyed my little website tutorial.  Now, go check it out!  Click on the "Shop with Me" box in the top right margin and it will take you there.  Be sure to stop by the Ideas and Inspiration link! Let me know what you like about the new websites!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
