Goody Boxes Up for Grabs!

Just like most devoted crafters, I have waaay too many crafting supplies! I decided to go through my stash, box up lots of great goodies, and offer them to you at a HUGE discount! Most of the items are brand new, however I did include some used stamp sets and partial accessory products in each box.


I have 10 medium-sized Flat Rate boxes filled to the brim with all kinds of crafting “goodness.” Each box contains between $300- $400 retail value worth of Close to my Heart products. (Some retired and some current products are included.) While each box contains different items, the boxes contain a variety of the following: a minimum of 10 stamp sets per box, paper packets, Workshop on the Go Kits, bulk paper, retired promotions, Stickease/Compliments, paper flowers, mini albums, rub-ons, ribbon, PML Cards, card kits, punches, accessory assortments, embellishments and tons more!

While each box contains different items, they all have between $300- $400 in retail value worth of Close to my Heart goodies. I am selling the boxes for just $75 (local pick up) or $88 (shipped) each! You may purchase as many boxes as you like, however I only have 10 up for grabs. They will go to the first 10 people who contact me and send me paypal payment. Once they are gone, I will post here on my blog and on my CTMH Facebook page.

I am looking forward to all of these wonderful goodies finding a new home where they will be well loved! *Ü*

Price is only valid for U.S. shipping addresses. If you are not in the U.S., feel free to contact me for actual shipping cost.

Update: The goody boxes are now gone.
Thanks to everyone who purchased one. Have fun with your new goodies!

Happy Times Birthday Card

I am in love with the Happy Times stamp set. (I am sad that it is only available until the end of May. If you'd like to order the set, make sure you order it by May 31st.) I made this birthday card for my dear friend Christine Adams using the flowers from the set. The butterfly is from a retired stamp set called Your Beautiful Self.


I stamped the butterfly on the card in black ink and again on a piece of scrap cardstock. I colored in the butterfly on the scrap cardstock with alcohol markers and then cut it out. I attached it to the card by adding adhesive just to the butterfly's body and then bending up the wings so it looks like it is flying. I drew the trail with a journaling pen. I also cut a cloud mask from some cardstock and sponged some Glacier ink around it to create the light blue sky in the background. The sentiment is printed using a font called Brightest.

(Don’t forget to add the coordinating paper packet too.)

Happy Times Card


This simple card was made using the promotional Happy Times stamp set (only available through May 31st) and the Your Own Kind of Wonderful stamp set for the sentiment. I used the Floral Embossing Folder to give the background a little dimensional pattern. I popped up the stamped panel with some 3-D Foam Tape and added a small piece of Pixie Extra Thick Twine to finish it off. Ink colors used are: Pixie, Canary, Fern, and Chocolate.


I love that this card can be used for almost any occasion. I actually used it for a Mother’s Day card this year.

Happy Times Mother's Day Gift and Card

 

Close to my Heart’s Base & Bling Collection along with the Happy Times paper and stamp set are a perfect match for Mother’s Day gifts. I stamped one of our Base & Bling Necklace Cards with the sweet flowers from the Happy Times stamp set and then used it to hold a Base & Bling necklace with photos of my cute kiddos for my Mother-in-Law. To personalize it a bit, I used some sentiments from the For Family stamp set.


I also made a quick card for her using the coordinating Happy Times paper. One of my favorite things about the beautiful Happy Times paper is the gold foil that is on many of the papers in the collection. It’s hard to see in the photos, but the the zip strip on the bottom of the card and the border on the strip across the middle of the card are gold foil.

I am hoping that my MIL won’t remember that I used the same card design a few years ago. LOL. (This is the card I made 3 years ago.) I used the Perfect Fit—Mom stamp set on both cards. One of my favorite things about this stamp set is that it coordinates with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.



If you like the Happy Times paper and stamps, be sure to get yours while you can. They are only available during the month of May while supplies last. You can even get the paper packet for FREE with a $60 order!
