I'm BAAAACK!

Hello Bloggers! I was off for a while, but now I'm back just in time for the release of the AWESOME new Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book.  The items in this book will be available on August 1st, so let me know if you want a copy and you can get your wish list started!
I was able to preview of all the fantastic new products during the CTMH Convention last month in Disney World. Me and my team really had a blast, and we were so excited and blown away by all the items. 

Especially the brand new exclusive CTMH Artbooking cartridge! See the overlay of arrows on the cover artwork above? Well, that's just one of the many unique and fun overlays offered on this cartridge.  It will definitely be a must-have cartridge for all scrapbookers! 

I'll be showing some fun artwork in the next few days, so make sure to stop by my blog again and check it out. 

For now, I'll show you some of the fun we had during convention!

Have a Cricut Party!

Whether you use one Cricut®-cut piece or several, you can create cute party favors and decorations using your Artiste cartridge. Combine your Cricut® pieces with unique stamping techniques and you have projects that will knock your guests’ socks off! 

Take a look at this adorable Owl Bag and Party Banner created by the Close to My Heart art department. These would make any party special!

Recipes and Tips


Cricut® Shapes:
Artiste
4½" 3D Object <Hallween> (p. 77)
4½" Shift+3D Object <Boo> (cut 2, p. 77)
1" Shift+Accent 2 <A> (p. 51)
Art Tip! This project uses many Cricut® shapes and all the pieces coordinate so nicely for an adorable finished product. Use the Artiste assembly booklet to put the bag together and then add the embellishments. The feathers are created with punched circles that are stamped using the kissing technique; however, if you don’t have the circle punch, you can easily make these using the Cricut as well. The eyes were created using Shimmer designer brads, but you can use any large brad or button to create the same look. Finish with the “owl miss you sentiment” for a special touch.

Party Banner
Stamp set of your choice
X5668 Honey Cardstock
X5764 Pear Cardstock
1272 Cranberry Cardstock
Z2197 Pear Exclusive Inks® Pad
Z2163 White Daisy Exclusive Inks® Pad
Z1751 Baker’s Twine Harvest Assortment
Z1311 1¼" Circle Punch
Cricut® Shapes:
Artiste
1" Shift+3D Object <J> (cut 56, p. 57)
Art Tip! This banner only uses one type of Cricut® shape, but the finished product is still stunning. Use stamp kissing to randomly stamp across the pieces using the stamp set of your choice. Score with the help of the Cricut®-cut score lines on the shape and piece together to create little globes. Tie together with baker’s twine and voila!

You can order your Cricut Artiste and Art Philosophy collections HERE.  As an added bonus, I will personally send you a FREE CTMH Paper Pack of your choice! You'll love how great the CTMH papers cut in your Cricut, and there are 11 packs for you to choose from HERE.  Simply place you Cricut Collection order on my website, and I will email you to see which paper pack you would like me to send out to you.  Then you can prepare your own Cricut Party! 


Happy Crafting!

Jump for Joy & Mystery Hostess Party!



Hostesses earn more rewards in March because when a Gathering reaches $250 or more in sales, the hostess jumps up to the next Hostess Rewards and Hostess Rewards Plus! levels. Now that’s a reason to jump for joy!*

Did you know you can earn hostess rewards, without even having a party?
That's right, no invites to send, no orders to collect, and the best part of all...no house to clean! You can host an "E-Party" and simply send out email invites to your family and friends! I will set it up for you on my website, making it simple and easy for you to invite your guests to order directly. They can shop at their convenience, and all the orders will ship directly to their homes. Every order will help you earn FREE and 1/2 price items! 


Here's how it works:
Orders of $150-$249 = $25 in product
Orders of $250-$349 = normally $40, this month $60 in product and select a 1/2 price item!
Orders of $350-$449 = normally $60, this month $80 in product and select two 1/2 price items!
The more they spend, the more Hostess Rewards you get!

Of course, if you'd like to invite your friends and family to your home for a gathering, I would be happy to bring a new project to teach, and you and your guests can have fun using some awesome CTMH products! 

MYSTERY HOSTESS PARTY!!
Want a chance to get the rewards without hosting your own party? Then you can join my online Mystery Hostess Party for a chance to win the hostess rewards! For every $25 that you spend at this party, you will receive one entry for a chance to win all the rewards. If you spend $50, you'll get two entries, $75 gets three entries, etc. So tell all your friends to join this party and spend at least $25 for an entry. The more who enter, the higher the REWARDS!! 

To enter, Click HERE, and then click on JOIN for Rachel's Mystery Hostess Party! The party ends on March 31, 2013. The winner will be notified on April 2, 2013. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Good Luck and Happy Crafting!! 

*Shipping/handling and tax applies. Only Gatherings with a total of $250 or more will qualify for the jump in Hostess Rewards or Hostess Rewards Plus!. Qualifying hostesses will receive Hostess Rewards from one level only—the level that is one higher than their sales total.
