Rock the Block Special

I’ve been waiting for YEARS to make a magic cube. Really. And now Close to My Heart has come out with the perfect product to let me do just that – the My Creations Collage Cubes! They are the perfect size and weight to make this interactive photo-art display.

See it in action! Click the video.

Join me on January 4 at 7 pm PST for a free class on ustream to create the magic cube. Place an order on my website for detailed instructions emailed to you, with tips, cutting information, and step-by-step assembly.

The magic cube class will be recorded, so if you miss it or can’t follow along, you can watch it later.

You will be able to order these versatile cubes with matching tray in the spring/summer idea book, beginning February 1. They’ll be $14.95 – but guess what? You can get them NOW, plus an exclusive $29.95 stamp set together for just $15 with a qualifying order on my website!

Just place a minimum $25 order on my website on items available in the Autumn/Winter idea book and you can add the Rock the Block special for just $15!

Flat ‘n Fabulous

Couldn’t wait to show off these pretty and simple cards using Lindy’s Stamp Gang Glitz Spritz and the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from Close to My Heart.

More on these two cards coming soon, including how I matched Close to My Heart’s Heavenly Blue perfectly with the delicious shimmer of LSG’s products.

Flat cards don’t have to be boring! Adding shimmer and shine really perks things up. Use embossing powders, Glitz glitter gel and dots of Liquid Glass with Prisma Glitter. Ooooh! Shiny!

Secret Santa Sale

Don’t forget that Lindy’s Stamp Gang ships internationally, so you can get your LSG products anywhere!

Nine Fabulous Free Grunge Fonts

Free fonts are like potato chips, you can’t stop at just one. How about nine grungy, messy, destroyed fonts? If you can’t get enough of the distressed look, these are for you!

3rd Man available at DaFont.com. Bold and masculine, try it on an outdoorsy camping page.

For the 100th Time available at Kevin & Amanda. Ransom note with a bit of whimsy. In bright multi-colors this would be adorable on a kid’s birthday party layout.

 

Jamaistevie available at dafont.com. Youthful and fun, perfect for a teen page.

 

Laundromat 1967 available at fontshark. Artsy, individual. Like a one-of-a-kind friend.

 

Pookie available at dafont.com. If you love the “fortune cookie” strips for journaling on layouts, this font is readable even when small, but adds a touch of style with the slightly eroded look.

 

Project Y available at Font River. This font screams teen boy and extreme sports. Think snowboarding, shooting hoops and skateboarding.

 

Webster available at dafont.com. Another journaling favorite, easy enough to read, but still plenty of character.
