The Happiest Place Collection! by Close To My Heart

Hold on to your hats, because we’re going on a VIP tour of our newest and most magical collection, yet—the Happiest Place! https://stampin4ever.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/2007-happiest-place.aspx

Summertime is the perfect time to make memories, and the Happiest Place collection is the perfect way to preserve them. With vibrant colors, delightfully whimsical patterns, and a wide selection of fun products to go with them, the Happiest Place will bring a smile to any face!

1. Happiest Place Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet

Let's start everything off by taking a look at the Happiest Place Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet. This packet comes with twice as many patterned papers than the packets in most of our other collections, with 12 sheets—2 each of 6 double-sided designs!

Along with this awesome paper count, we’ve also got a beautiful sticker sheet, complete with silver glitter foil accents! This eye-catching assortment of stickers is the ideal complement to the fun designs of the papers, and you’ll love accenting your artwork with them!

2. Happiest Place Coordinating Cardstock

The Happiest Place Coordinating Cardstock adds yet another element of wonder to this magical collection. Like the sticker sheet, this cardstock pack includes a selection with silver glitter foil designs. With these shiny patterns, it’s easier than ever to add a little sparkle to your cards and scrapbook pages!

3. Happiest Place Acrylic Shapes

Looking to add even more dimension to your project? The Happiest Place Acrylic Shapes coordinate perfectly with the patterns in this collection and make a great addition to any card or layout!

4. Happiest Place Stamp + Thin Cuts

Preserve your happiest memories and create truly magical artwork with the Happiest Place stamp set and Thin Cuts dies!

In addition to the Happiest Place stamp set and Thin Cuts, the new Magical Alphabet stamp set from our July–August catalog fits right in with the Happiest Place collection. Expand your creative magic even further and create personalized, coordinated titles!

5. SVGs (Digital Art)

Along with the playful images in these stamp sets and Thin Cuts, the Happiest Place also includes a variety of digital art options. With two collections of SVG files—Happiest Place Digital Art Titles and Happiest Place Digital Art Designs—you’ll be all set to use and cut these too-cute shapes for yourself with your favorite digital design program and personal digital cutting machine! These shapes can be used to cut paper for your cards or layouts, or they can be used to cut vinyl images for a one-of-a-kind album cover, like this one!

6. Happiest Place Cut Above^® Kit

Use the materials in this kit to create the pages of an 8½" × 11" album. No fussy-cutting required!

The Happiest Place Cut Above Layout Kit includes pre-printed base pages, exclusive die-cuts, pre-cut pieces, and instructions to guide you through every step of the way! No cutting and no stamping. Just bring your memories along with a journaling pen, photos, and adhesive!

Damask Divas Blog Hop - Chalk it Up

Welcome to my Blog.  My name is Judy Dahlgren and I am an Independent Consultant for Close to my Heart.  “If you came from Jeannie Resnick's blog you are in the right place.  If you have jumped here and just discovered our blog hop, feel free to check the full list at the Damask Divas Chalk it Up Blog Hop to find the complete list of blog hop participants.”
New August 1st!!! the Close to my Heart Inspirations catalog with lots of great papercrafting items. Great Quality, great inspiration and a super company to be a consultant for!  Here's my creation for this month:

This layout is based on a sketch I saw on http://stucksketches.blogspot.com/.  Although I didn't enter the contest they offered, you can get some great ideas from sketches.  Another great resource for ideas is the Reflections scrapbook program from CTMH.  Okay, onto the details.....for this layout I used our new papers: Canary and Thistle (love, love, love these colors!)  along with Lagoon and the Chalk it Up Workshop on the Go - G1081.

This is the 2nd page for the double page layout and I used the same ideas from the original sketch, just mixed it up and turned it on its side. This new ribbon is the Black striped twill - z1988.  I know I'll be using it alot!

Close ups of the embellishments- a chipboard circle above and arrow below  from the Chalk it up assortment - Z3009 included in the kit.

Believe it or not this card was a completely random creation.  I had tested the 'Life is good' stamp with Lagoon ink on the Lagoon paper to see how it would look.  I liked it so I stamped it on my scrapbook page #2 above.   After the layout was finished, I had this image so I used it to create a Graduation Congrats card!  I cut out around the image, scored above and below and make my own swing card.  Using a white gel pen I doodled in the same fashion shown in the Chalk it Up kit and loved how it turned out.  It is a bit of an odd size so now I have to make an envelope.  The inside saying was written by my Cricut Explore.  

I hope you enjoyed my blog hop creations, please comment below, I'd love to hear from you.
