Black Friday Just got EVEN SWEETER!

Do you LOOOOVE getting a great deal on crafting supplies to add to your stash? For Black Friday this year, you’ll have the opportunity to get even more crafting supplies at an fantastic price with Close To My Heart! 



For 24 hours only, Close to My Heart will feature themed mystery boxes filled with retired Close To My Heart products, all at a major discount! 

These mystery boxes will have five different price points ranging from $35 to $150, with some mystery boxes being offered at 50% off the retail value! 

All mystery boxes will be available beginning November 25, 2016 at 12:00 am (MST) while supplies last—so grab a box (or BOXES) for your stash before they’re gone! 

NOW...you KNOW I wouldn't advertise a deal this good without adding a little 'Studio Sus' Bonus to it, right?! SO, Exclusively from me (this is my own personal promotion and not offered by Close to My Heart Home Office) I'm adding something a bit sweeter! 

When you purchase a Mystery Box (or multiple Mystery Boxes) you will receive a Stamp set of your choice from me! 

Purchase a $35 Box (valued at $70) and receive 
your choice of 'A' Size Stamp sets (added value of $6.95).

your choice of 'B' Size Stamp sets (added value of $9.95).

If you purchase multiple boxes you will receive multiple stamp sets! The number is limitless but don't wait - the Mystery Boxes are a 'While Supplies Last' special and once they're gone they are GONE! 

Remember to look over in the RIGHT SIDEBAR of my blog (this page right here) to see if you have missed creating any of my 'Studio Sus' Workshops! (Just click on the photo and it will take you directly to the original post). 

You can receive a set of workshop files (with cutting guides) for every $25 you spend on my Shopping website! (So if you purchase a $150 mystery box you will receive an 'E' sized stamp set of choice as well as (6) sets of workshop files!) Whoop!! 

I think we deserve to have a Mystery Box of Crafty Goodies to unwrap on Christmas Morning, don't you? I can't wait to see what the boxes contain and I'm so Excited to be checking off a few names from my Christmas list without having to hustle through a crowded store on Friday! 

Also, if you haven't noticed, you NOW have the option of purchasing workshop files WITHOUT a qualifying website order! 



























You are welcome to hop over HERE to see all of the workshop information and add the files to your cart - you can check out right there via paypal! (Yes, ALL of my Workshop files are available for paypal purchase - not just retired collections) 

Keeping the 'Black Friday' festivities going - I am giving (1) free set of workshop files when you purchase (4)! This additional offer is available until November 30th 11:59 p.m.

Happy Holidays 'Workshop Your Way' Card Kit PLUS!

Greetings Peeps! 

I am soooo Excited to get to share with you another Quick (yet stunning) card workshop offered by Close to My Heart Home Office! I have been knee deep in other projects but the very moment the Home Office uploaded this darling workshop I just HAD to create it right away! 




Oh My Word! Aren't those cards stunning?! These will surely be a treasure to any who receive them! And HOW CUTE are those coordinating envelopes!? 







This workshop actually uses the 'Happy Holidays' Card Kit with a few additional Supplies! 




The Card Kit is only $19.95 (THRIFTY!!) and that even includes a stamp set! :)

The workshop uses the Heat Embossing technique - which I don't do often! It was SO much fun to break out my tools...Heat Embossing has always been a 'Look, it's Magic' kind of technique to me! (LOL) 

Here is the Supply List provided with the workshop: 

- G1115 Happy Holidays 'Workshop Your Way' Kit
- Z3237 White Glitter Paper (1 sheet)
- Z3090 Red Enamel Gems
- Z2060 Thin 3-D Foam Tape
- Z4003 Thin Cuts Snowflakes
- Z2807 Willow Ink Pad
- Z2816 Cranberry Ink Pad

**If you don't wish to Heat Emboss your cards you can easily just use our White Pigment Ink Pad #Z2863 - remember you will need to let the ink air dry for a bit or use a craft heater to set it as pigment ink remains 'sticky' for a while unlike dye based ink that dries instantly!**

Here are the additional supplies needed for heat embossing with this workshop:

- Z891 VersaMark Ink Pad
- Z2068 White Embossing Powder
- Z555 Craft Heater
- Z1382 Tweezers
- Z2045 All Purpose Mat

The file for this workshop includes step by step directions for creating the cards AS WELL as information on the steps to achieve perfect heat embossing! So if you've never learned how to Heat emboss this is a perfect time! 

All you need to do is place an order on my CTMH Shopping Website for the Happy Holidays 'Workshop Your Way' Card Kit and email me to request the cutting guide and instruction files! I'll be happy to send them right over to you!


I just LOVE the way these cards turned out completely different than the original workshop! I'm so Grateful for the Close to My Heart office to provide this additional workshop for us! I know you will enjoy creating it as much as I did! 



Also, just in case you have not seen the announcement earlier this week, all of my Studio Sus Workshop Cutting files are now available with Paypal purchase (yes, even the brand new ones)! 

Now you have an additional way to receive these files! You can still receive them FREE with any $25 purchase from my website OR you can purchase them directly from my Blog via paypal - CLICK HERE to see all files available! 

Have a Blessed Day friends! :)

HAPPY HAPPY Christmas Workshop with Cutting Files!

Happy Happy Christmas a bit early peeps! 

Close to My Heart is promoting a Brand New Workshop and it was SO CUTE I couldn't resist putting it together myself! 

Have a look at these...!! :)














Okay.....SO CUTE, Right?! 

So here are the details I know you're waiting for! 




During November you can purchase the 'Happy Happy Christmas' Products as a Discounted Bundle OR you can purchase them separately! Here is the link to the Bundles so you can see each of them in detail

Did you notice all of the Additional Projects you can create? (Yes, addition to the 10 Scrapbook pages!) and YES, the Cutting guide reflects pieces for every project shown! 

We (as consultants) didn't even have access to purchase the additional (retired) products early so I couldn't create and photograph the projects for you but here are the photos from the Home Office Art Gallery! 







Cute Again, Right?!  Your investment is stretching CRAZY FAR! 

Okay, so you know me....I have to 'do my own thing' so I had to jazz the layouts up juuuuuuust a tiny bit with a couple additional products! So my layouts shown are going to have just a few 'upgrades'. (wink) 

But let's get to the Supply list so you can get these ordered (or at the rate I'm talkin' we'll be here all night)! 


  • - My Crush Happy, Happy Christmas $7.95 #Z4020
  • - Picture My Life™ Happy, Happy Christmas Cards $7.95 #Z4019
  • - City Sidewalks Complements $6.95 #X7213
  • - Oh Deer! Coordinating Cardstock $9.95 #X7214D
  • - (12) Sheets of White Daisy Cardstock (24 bulk pack $9.50) $4.80  #1385 
All of the supplies above are a portion of the discounted 'Happy Happy Christmas' Bundle PLUS the bundle includes your choice of Album and a package of (10) Page Protectors!

LINK HERE!!  

Soooooo....you have the option of grabbing your favorite bundle and head for the checkout! or if you'd like to Jazz up your projects (as I have done) you can add the (2) following products to your shopping list as well...

- Silver Shimmer Trim $4.95 #Z1799
- Snowflakes Embossing Folder $8.95 #Z4000

I also added Cocoa Cardstock to serve as 'Faux Photos' since I don't  have photos ready for these pages just yet but that isn't really an upgrade as it will be covered by YOUR photos anyway!

See why I LOVED adding the Snowflakes Embossing Folder?!










Oh My WOOOOORD, it truly added so much to the pages! I almost didn't end up using it but when I tried assembling one of the layouts without the embossed pieces it looked bare so I tore it apart and used the embossed pieces! You will LOVE having this folder in your craft stash! 

And of course the Silver shimmer trim just 'made sense'...LOVE ME SOME SHIMMER TRIM! I only used a portion of the roll so just toss it back in your stash and pull it out for more projects in the future! 

So after you've placed your order just shoot me an email over HERE,contact me at my Business Facebook Page, or just leave me a comment on this blog post to let me know you'd like for me to send over Close to My Heart's Cutting guide for the 'Happy Happy Christmas' Workshop and It will be my Pleasure to get it right over to you! 

Okay...so remember, time is of the essence - the Additional retired products are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST and you won't want to miss these - what FABULOUS Christmas Gifts they will make!! 




And don't forget! While you're shopping be sure to grab the supplies to create the cards in my 'Merry and Bright' (50) card workshop (Link Here!!) The consumable products ended up being only .68 each! Whhhhhhat!? FOR REAL! I filmed a quick video of half of the cards over here on my Business Facebook Page, you are invited to hop over to have a peek! 

I think that's all for today gang! Thanks for joining me, you are such a BLESSING!
