January 2013 Stamp of the Month



I love the January Stamp Of The Month.  It has a real woodcut feel that will be fun to colour in with our new markers.  The stamped images look fabulous stamped with that linear look of an ink drawing.  I love the beautiful floral images.  And who does not melt at the word "Smitten." 

Close to My Heart January Stamp of the Month, Happy Valentine’s. $17.95 or just $5 with a qualifying $50 minimum purchase on my website. Available Jan. 1-31, 2013. This also qualifies you for the Whooo's Your Valentine special!

Everyday Embellishment Ideas from Close To My Heart!

It’s easy to incorporate chalk, metallics, and bling into your artwork with a few embellishments you can use on your everyday papercrafting projects. Let us show you how!

This Merry & Bright page uses dots created with the gold metallic marker to add extra sparkle around the edges of the page. Notice the scalloped accents with outlines in gold marker which adds dimension and draws your eye. Our metallics markers will make your artwork sparkle!

Add heart to your art with an extra touch of bling—cover your Dimensional Elements with silver Glitz™ glitter gel, a clear Sparkle or two, or a touch of silver from the metallics marker! Your heartfelt messages will bedazzle your loved ones.

The chalk marker and 12" × 12" chalkboard sheet are a perfect pair for creating a unique project. Journal and embellish your memories with the quaint look of a chalkboard—minus the dust—and a lot of freehand fun, perfect to display in your albums or on your walls!
If you haven’t had a chance to scrapbook your Halloween photos yet, here’s a great idea for a spooky page. The Haunted assortment with its cute skull brads, spider badge buttons, and more, is the perfect go-to for scary Halloween memories. It also coordinates nicely with the Moonlight paper packet and Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements.

Tell your story with papers and accents that complement your unique tale. The Memo assortment’s little note tags are great for embellishing and journaling all in one, and the tiny epoxy numbers mimic old typewriter keys. Pair the Memo assortment with our Scholastic paper packet and My Stickease® assortment for your school-themed memories and more!

This elegant layout is tied together by antique elements from the Baroque assortment, Avonlea Complements canvas shapes, and the beautiful Avonlea papers. Add a timeless quality to your memories with graceful keys, broaches, and buttons from the Baroque assortment.
Whatever your project, embellishing will bring your artwork to life.

Organize Your Craft Supplies

Turkey

To make this cute Turkey I used the Cricut Artiste Cartridge from Close To My Heart. I cut the turkey image out found on page 78 at 5 1/2". Then I cut out different rosettes from page 50 at these sizes: 1", 1 3/4", 2", 2 1/4", 2 1/2" and another at 2 1/4". I placed these in the order from the front to the back of the turkey. I also cut out 10 circles at 1 1/2" using the circle image found on page 48. I folded each circle in half and then glued five folded circle together at their sides to form a sort of accordion like half 3D circle. Glue each open end to the round belly part of the turkey to give it some shape. I also took some red paper from an extra rosette (page 50, the yellow rosette shown under "card") and used it for its throat. If you would like to make this and do not have the Cricut Artiste Cartridge please visit my website: www.scrapwithheather.ctmh.com
