Become a Close To My Heart Consultant TODAY!

Close to my Heart has announced some changes for New Consultants who sign up after January 1st, 2014. I wanted to share these upcoming changes with you now in case you would rather sign up before the changes take effect. This way you can choose whether you'd like to sign up now or after January 1st.

The first change is that CTMH will no longer be offering two kit options. Currently there is a $49 kit option and a $99 kit option. The new kit will be offered at $99 and will include over $300 worth of products and business supplies.

The second change is with the Straight to the Top Program. This is an exciting change because with the new program, you can earn back the $99 you spent on your kit! With the new program, if you have $1,200 in sales (including your own orders) within the first 90 days, you will receive your $99 back, ultimately making your kit FREE! (The current Straight to the Top program allows you to earn $25 in Select Product Credit when you reach $300 in orders in your first 30 days and an additional $75 in SPC when you reach a total of $1,200 in your first 90 days. So the main difference is that instead of earning product credit that can be used to get certain items, the new program will allow you to earn $99 cash back that can be used for whatever you like.)

Here are the current Consultant Kit options:

$49 Kit (valued at $155) available through 12/31/2013

$99 Kit available through 12/31/2013

includes everything in the $49 kit plus these extras...

$99 New Consultant Kit (valued at $309) available January 1, 2014:

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday today! Since it is late and I am exhausted, I am simply going to post a CTMH video on Christmas layouts - it's "Artbooking Made Easy"! Enjoy watching and have a very merry Christmas!

The Frosting on the Cake

Anything frosted sounds pretty good, don't you think? Even things that don't involve actual icing, like frosted glass, are quite attractive. Well, now I've got one more thing to add to the wonderfully frosted list - it's the "Frosted Workshops on the Go Cardmaking Kit" from Close To My Heart. I was finally able to break mine out and complete the cards (fifteen of them - five each of three different designs), and I LOVE them!

The kit comes with everything you need, including an exclusive D-size stamp set:

I absolutely love these images and sentiments. I used them on all of my Christmas cards! Here, however, are the three designs that you will make from this kit:

(This card actually calls for stamping the trees in Cocoa ink, but I preferred mine to be Olive.)

I wish my photos were better - they look really bright white, but they are actually on Colonial White cardstock (not that there's a really big difference).

In addition, I also stamped the envelopes with coordinating images:

This is just one of the fun and beautiful card kits you can find in the Autumn-Winter Idea Book. You can order your kit online anytime on my website (funforyou.ctmh.com) for $24.95. Happy stamping!
