Paper Ink Swiping Technique

 Good Evening Everyone!

I wanted to pop on here and share some artwork with another technique that I learnt at the CTMH album retreat just over a week ago.  I taught this technique live on Facebook on Saturday during my Good Stuff Virtual Weekend Crop the link to that video is HERE.  I did this technique near the end of the video as it was a video on Distress Oxide and Stencils.  So, here is the card I created using a few of the techniques from the layouts that are below.  I love how you can take techniques and use the same technique on both a layout and a card.  

Card with ink swiping and distress oxide with stencils.

I would love to know what you think of these layouts and the card.  If you are interested in making them please let me know.

Supplies used:

X8019 - Gold Foil Paper Packet

I recommend our CUSTOM12 or CUSTOM24 cardstock packages where you can choose your colours in multiples of 2s.  They are a great way to get just a few sheets of multiple colours instead of 24 of a single colour.  

NOTE:  The Distress Oxide inks have been a hot seller and have been selling out but they will be coming back in stock so just check back if the colour you want isn't in stock.

Also, if you are interested in getting your supplies at a discount then check out becoming a VIP customer or a Maker/Consultant.

It is $45 to become a VIP and you get back $20 of that in VIP credit.  Then you can earn 15% in VIP credit on each order and are able to get 1 stamp of the month for free each month with a $60 order.  There is also a special workshop coming up that is just for VIPs.  Here is the You-tube video about that special event.

There are a couple days left to become a Maker and this is the lowest I have ever seen it be to sign up in the almost 7 years I have been a Maker/Consultant.  You can sign up for $20 and we give you $21 in CTMH cash to spend.  So, we pay you a dollar.  You have until the end of January to get this price.  As a Maker you get a minimum of a 25% discount/commission.  You also get to see & order new products before everyone else which is a huge perk.  

Here are photos of the VIP only workshop.  I can't wait to create with this exclusive kit, mine just arrived today.  The sticker sheer and stamp set are exclusive to our VIPs and this special is available to order until the end of March.

Thank you all for joining me and if you have any questions please let me know.

Good night,

Kim

Holly Jolly Scrapbook Workshop

Good Evening!

I have been working on a Holly Jolly Scrapbooking Workshop over the past few weeks.  I have incorporated some Cricut images as well as used the Holly Jolly - Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cuts set.  This is the same stamp & thin cuts set used for the Days of December Album ( I am teaching an online class Nov 27th at 7 pm and would love to have you join me.)  and I used it on a card I made on yesterdays blog post as well.

This workshop contains 3 - 2 page layouts.  You can get the directions for the workshop from me when you spend $30 with me before shipping & tax. Including a Design Space cutting file.  Just send me a message letting me know that you would like the directions for this workshop.  If you are interested in a pre-cut kit send me a message or comment and we can figure that out.

New Workshops and Online Classes

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, I been missing in action on my blog for the past 3 years. A lot of things have changed in my life in the past few years.  I moved up to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.  I am still working on unpacking some stuff and getting it organized.  I also started working full time in a school the spring after moving here.  Now, due to health stuff going on I am not working and have more time to spend being creative again.  So, I will be hopefully bringing you lots of inspiration.

I am still an Independent Consultant with Close to My Heart.  I am starting to create my own workshops & guides as well as offering online classes/workshops on my Facebook page.

The 1st online class I am offering is on Oct. 22nd at 7:30 pm MST.  It is making cards with the Every Little Thing Cardmaking Workshop Kit.  This kit makes 4 different cards and 4 of each design.  I am also going to design a few extra using the scraps from the kit as well.  Check out the event page here and order your supplies so that you can play along.  A complete list of supplies is on the event page.  I hope you can join me as I learnt so much making these and tried techniques that I had never done before.  

Makes 4 of each of these designs.

Kit includes an exclusive stamp and thin cut.  This is my favorite card kit that Close to My Heart has ever put out.

I just created an 18 page workshop using the Every Little Thing line.  I have created a PDF cutting & instruction guide for the workshop.  You can get the guide with a $30 order on my website.  Once you place an order I will email it to you.  

I am also offering a Pre-cut kit option for $120 plus shipping if you are not local to me.  That works out to $13.33 for 2 pages.  What a great deal.   Orders for Pre-cut kits due by October 20, 2019 with payment.  EMT please to scrappinkimberly@gmail.com
