Well Stampin' Up! created a great chart to help us match Close To My Heart colors to the Stampin'Up! colors and I created labels to put on my pads!
I know this will help my fellow CTMH peeps so you can prioritize your purchases. Let's face it, we all have stamp sets, paper packs and tools on our wish lists. If we have a stamp pad that will work to get us by, we can buy something else on our list, right?
I'm not gonna lie, one of the products I will miss THE most from Close To My Heart, is our stamp pads. To be honest, it has been years since I used a Stampin' Up stamp pad and I found them hard to open, just like the previous design of the Close To My Heart pads. It has made the transition easier to know that Stampin' Up! has expressed that they are interested in switching to the CTMH design, but it will take a couple of years. They have to find a vendor that can meet the high volume demand and it takes time to make a shift like that.
Thankfully I can help my customers through this transition by showing where the CTMH colors work well alongside the Stampin' Up! colors, but there are some cases where I'm just going to NEED the Stampin' Up! pads, right?! I mean, I wouldn't be a good demonstrator if I didn't try them and compare them, right? This is my justification for investing in one of the sets of Stampin' Up! pads. haha!
Good news is that I figured out a cool hack to make them easier to slide when opening them! I've used this hack when I have 3D prints that have sliding parts; like a pencil box. I used my Snap Stick Snap & Zipper lubricant and it worked like a charm!!
In the video below I share the following tips:
Are you going to try this hack or have you done something similar? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
It's almost time! On May 1, 2024, Stampin' Up! will offer a limited release of some CTMH products.
These products are only available to former Makers, VIP customers, and customers who had an online account with Close To My Heart. This is because Stampin’ Up! was only able to acquire a certain number of products from Close To My Heart for this release. And while this is an exclusive offer, these Close To My Heart product quantities are limited and while supplies last.
Please note: If you already have a Stampin' Up account using the same email address that you used for your Close To My heart account then you are all set!
Here is the May 2024 CTMH Products available starting May 1, while supplies last.
Hello!

Hello Blog Friends! Just a quick note to let you know that I am bringing back the blog!
Why did I stop blogging?
While all those incredible things were happening, I found that I had to be more intentional about where I spent my time. I found it difficult to prepare content for my Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Instagram and YouTube.
And now, times are changing again! I have a wonderful following on a variety of platforms (including TikTok) and I want to make sure that I have a place that is independent of the social media platforms so that I can continue to provide content, regardless of what those platforms may do in the future.
Also, I missed this!
My initial goal is three posts a week. Hold me to it!!
