The So Much Happy collection includes coordinating Picture My Life cards (<a href="https://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11871&ci=12709" target="_blank">X7241E</a>). These double-sided pocket cards feature unique designs, sentiments, and icons. You get 12 each of 4"×6" pocket cards and 3"×4" pocket cards<br /><br />Here I chose 2 cards, trimmed off the edge of the long side to 5.5"x4" so it fit the front of a card.<br />

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
****</div>
When I think of <b>celebrations</b>, I think <b>birthdays</b>. I for one can never have enough birthday cards on hand. So I decided to showcase a birthday card using two of the French stamps that CTMH currently sells as well as a sneak peek of one of the new paper collections that will be available starting May 1st. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DcQmeAID7d4/WtPk5v-eTLI/AAAAAAAACEk/ibALny4BiBgT2EFSDE3NH4xmJZNUJNSQgCLcBGAs/s1600/card%2Bfrench%2Bbirthday.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="French birthday card CTMH Close to My Heart carte fête www.fun2cre8@blogspot.ca" border="0" height="282" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DcQmeAID7d4/WtPk5v-eTLI/AAAAAAAACEk/ibALny4BiBgT2EFSDE3NH4xmJZNUJNSQgCLcBGAs/s400/card%2Bfrench%2Bbirthday.JPG" title="Birthday Card CTMH Close to My Heart " width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Birthday card / Carte de fête</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<br />
<br />
The card cover is made with two 2"x2" squares of Central Park paper. The sentiment and the bubbles are from the Invitation (French) stamp (C1701)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o_uILPxd1UQ/WtPcyBRfYDI/AAAAAAAACEM/lWIWiePECdc5SgBG8Tb0yEZAi3ErE9f5ACLcBGAs/s1600/stamp%2Bfrench%2BInvitation.jpg"><img alt="CTMH Close to My Heart French stamp Invitation (C1701) www.dominique.ctmh.com" border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o_uILPxd1UQ/WtPcyBRfYDI/AAAAAAAACEM/lWIWiePECdc5SgBG8Tb0yEZAi3ErE9f5ACLcBGAs/s400/stamp%2Bfrench%2BInvitation.jpg" title="CTMH Close to My Heart French stamp Invitation (C1701)" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For the inside, I used another of Close To My Heart's French stamps, the gorgeous Bonne Fête (A1212). It is stamped in archival black ink to give a crisp glossy image. The delicate flowers and leaves are coloured with Shin Han alcohol markers.<br />
<br />

I decided to showcase how one of new papers coordinates perfectly with a stamp and diecut from the annual catalogue. Here is a quick card for a baby shower, wedding shower, wedding, or Mother's Day. Stamp an appropriate sentiment for the occasion and voilà you're ready to go!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2aR9QVzJniQ/Wly7I65zU6I/AAAAAAAACAI/s5IovPAkBUYtQbkCw6R6r428-zpxTy8fQCLcBGAs/s1600/fun2cre8%2Bcard%2Bgimme%2Bsugar.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="429" data-original-width="678" height="252" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2aR9QVzJniQ/Wly7I65zU6I/AAAAAAAACAI/s5IovPAkBUYtQbkCw6R6r428-zpxTy8fQCLcBGAs/s400/fun2cre8%2Bcard%2Bgimme%2Bsugar.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
This card is made by using the <b>Gimme Some Sugar paper. </b>The floral pattern is cut at 5.5" x 3", and green piece at 5.5" x 0.5".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Mg1aEmgMUE/Wly9spx6kxI/AAAAAAAACAg/DoLJnCJeGJQxvTiIRuiK8vGrOC0YGvd6gCLcBGAs/s1600/fun2cre8%2Bgimme%2Bsome%2Bsugar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Mg1aEmgMUE/Wly9spx6kxI/AAAAAAAACAg/DoLJnCJeGJQxvTiIRuiK8vGrOC0YGvd6gCLcBGAs/s320/fun2cre8%2Bgimme%2Bsome%2Bsugar.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The <b>Beautiful You die </b>was used to cut the flower and 2 leaves out of Daisy white cardstock. A third leaf was cut out of vellum. The medium-sized flower was stamped with pale Bashful pink ink and the second layer in Pixie. The middle of the flowers was made with ShinHan marigold marker. The two leaves were stamped in Juniper. I embellished using Bitty sparkles in the center of some of the little flowers and a sparkle on the large flower.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H5GO6RUSgs0/Wly8oubbJ4I/AAAAAAAACAU/VHmFCVJ_FCsK8XgdjGf0YfvZX15C3dq_wCLcBGAs/s1600/fun2cre8%2Bbeautiful%2Byou%2Bset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H5GO6RUSgs0/Wly8oubbJ4I/AAAAAAAACAU/VHmFCVJ_FCsK8XgdjGf0YfvZX15C3dq_wCLcBGAs/s320/fun2cre8%2Bbeautiful%2Byou%2Bset.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To tie everything in, I like to decorate the envelope - this time I stamped flowers across the flap.<br />

Close To My Heart Corporate office will email out details in their newsletter.<br />
<br />
If you would like to receive the Corporate CTMH newsletter, do the following<br />
<br />
1. Go to my <a href="http://dominique.ctmh.com/">Online Store</a> at <a href="http://www.dominique.closetomyheart.ca/">www.dominique.closetomyheart.ca</a><br />
2. Click the "sign in" button at the top right.<br />
3. Click on the "Create Account" button.<br />
4. Enter your name email address, create a password.<br />
5. Tick the checkbox to ‘subscribe’ to the newsletter. "Subscribe me to the Close To My Heart newsletter."<br />
6. You will then get an email asking you to confirm that you want to be subscribed to the email. Make sure to click on the email link that says ‘Click here to confirm your subscription to our list’.<br />
<br />
I am signed up for Corporate newsletter and I promise they do not share your email and they do not send too many messages each month. I typically only receive one message per month, but during specials, like Flash Sales, there are more messages, but this happens only a few times each year.<br />

Provo Craft has decided to discontinue production of physical Cricut cartridges. <br />Effective immediately, all CTMH Cricut collections that include a physical cartridge are available while supplies last. Now is the time to stock up on <a href="https://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9395&ci=6694" target="_blank">Flower Market</a>, <a href="https://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8545&ci=6308" target="_blank">Artistry </a>and <a href="https://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8547&ci=6310" target="_blank">Artbooking</a> collections.<br />

<br />
Over the last year, CTMH has been taking steps to make the transition easier by introducing digital-only collections, and by introducing a Cricut Explore Air 2 hostess bundle. This has been to help encourage us to upgrade our machines in anticipation of this new digital decision. In fact, you may have even noticed that CTMH has started to include image numbers in artwork recipes. This helps make creating easier for us as we learn to use digital cartridges within Design Space.<br />
<br />

<br />
Tutorial videos are in the works! These videos are being created to help us learn how to navigate Design Space on newer Cricut machines. Perfect timing.<br />
<br />
Close To My Heart has been able to secure enough inventory of the <a href="https://dominique.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=275" target="_blank">You Are Here collection</a> to last through the duration of our Annual Inspirations 2017–18 Idea Book. Yay! </div>

<br />
In this month's Cross-Canada blog hop, we are sharing projects using the <a href="http://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=237" target="_blank">ShinHan Touch Twin Markers</a> that Close To My Heart sells. There are 24 colours available, plus a blending marker.<br />
<br />
If you've arrived from <b>Carol-Anne's</b> <a href="http://cagrenier.blogspot.ca/2017/04/april-blog-hop-featuring-shinhan.html" target="_blank"><strong>blog</strong> </a>then you are in the right place! <br />
<br />
Colouring is so much fun and the Shin Han markers are so vibrant and perfect for colouring in the clothes and hair of this cute little girl and boy from the School Kids stamp and matching thincuts. To make the girl's hair a strawberry blond colour, I used the <a href="http://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8098" target="_blank">Golden Yellow </a>and the <a href="http://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8103" target="_blank">Marigold </a>markers.<br />

Close To My Heart vend une dizaine d'étampes en français. </div>
Ici j'ai utilisé 2 ensembles avec de l'encre noire sur de l'aquarelle. Dans la <b>collection </b>d'aquarelle, CTMH vend un ensemble de pinceaux, une palette d'aquarelle, trois pinceaux à recharge d'eau, ainsi que du papierpour aquarelle 12x12 qui est lisse et donne un beau fini lorsqu'on étampe dessus.<br />

<br />
For this first card I applied a wet wash on the paper first before painting the colours from light to dark pink to give an ombré effect. Once the watercolour paint was dry, I stamped the sentiment and hearts from the <b><a href="http://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=A1192F" target="_blank">Happy Heart</a> - French</b> stamp set (A1192F). This stamp costs only $9 - quelle aubaine !<br />

For the following two cards I used the <a href="http://dominique.closetomyheart.ca/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9702" target="_blank"><b>Happy to Be Friends</b></a> <b>- French </b>stamp set (C1605F).

<br />
For this <b>pastel </b>card, I did a wet wash on the paper first close to the paper's edge, then chose colours similar in muted intensity. I let the paint stripes overlap a bit and blend into one another making for a smoother transition. Once the paint was dry I ripped the edges all around pulling paper towards me to reveal the core. <br />

For the <b>rainbow </b>card, I painted stripes directly onto the dry paper, no blending, going for bold vibrant colour contrast. I also painted the same colour stripes on the silver shimmer trim. Once the paint was dry, I stamped the Bonjour in black ink.<br />
