The kit makes creating personalized valentines—perfect for classrooms and other group settings—a cinch! 
This kit also offers a sneak peek at two new Spring/Summer 2013 products: the My Creations™ treat tubes and the silver glitter paper.

Christmas Countdown Calendar from Cookie Sheet!

Sharing my latest work of heART using the November Stamp of the Month. Cookie sheet ($1 plus spray paint .25) and matchboxes ($2.50) from dollar tree. Magnets from Walmart ($3). Embellishments could add up but I had all this and not all of it is CTMH...jingle bells, tiny ornaments, lace and ribbon, snowflake and heart brads. Buttons, bottle caps run through my big shot, discontinued font for the word Christmas. Old and new papers. I wanted the vintage look but you could do your own version of what you have. Many hours of prep time. I pre-stamped everything. Bling, tinsel, tiny key, tiny safety pin, yadda yadda...Use score tape for the seam on the matchbooks. Use liquid glass, glue gun or I prefer Beacons 3 in 1 glue for adhering the magnets. Use Bonding memories for the papers on the backing. (Only paint the sides not the center of the cookie sheet) Medallion behind the flower on the 25 box. Hope you likey!

CTMH Close To my Heart Cricut Artiste Pumpkin Treat Box

This is the little pumpkin treat box we are making at the team meeting tonight.  Inspired by Mary Thompson, I just had to share!
Box using ARTISTE page 32 @ 4 1/2" in Autumn Terra Cotta
I used an embossing folder and my Big Shot for the pattern on the CS
Leaves page 54 (the two) at 2" and a single using the Pear and partridge B&T page 32 @1"
Tag Page 37@ 1 1/4 using set B1410 A Friend Like You Occasions
I added a tied piece of our burlap for the stem and stuck it through the slot and taped it on the back...It closes with our new little velcro tabs.  Add a button and fill with goodies.

CTMH Glitter Tape colored with our Markers!

Look what I discovered! You can use our alcohol based markers to color our Glitter tape! This card was inspired by Beth Nauman at our Big Bear retreat...the glitter seemed a bit too bright so I tried coloring it with our markers...Presto! You can also color our sparkles any color you wish to match your project!  See my monogram stamp with the smokey plum bling?

I did try to color our silver alpha stickers, but it took several layers and it was still light.  Try it!  Show your customers!

Recap of Cindy Bakers Team Meeting & Welcome

Firstly let me send a warm welcome to our newest team member, Bee (Bernadette) Perez!
I know she is going to have fun in her new venture with Close To My Heart!
Congratulations to all 24 new recruits from my first downline team members that have been recruiting this month!
Kay Pekin, Dawn Heuft, Heather Plotzke, Linda Taylor, Lucy Kelleher, Jan Dagley, and Jennifer Lee.  Way to go my Ladies!!!
AND drum roll please...In my 1st thru 4th downline we have added 281 new team members so far just in the month of August!!!!! (Doin' the Happy Dance!) Please invite all your new recruits to our facebook team page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/225527790903176/) and our team blog!

Now...I just wanted to share some great info from Cindy Bakers Team meeting  that I attended!
Pass on this great info!

BUSINESS:

Trivia:  in the new Autumn/Winter Idea book there are....

62 new stamp sets
8 new paper packs
13 new WOTG kits
5 new accessories and tools
New publication with layout and card patterns ("Make It From Your Heart"....it's fabulous....and only $7.95)

SPECIAL PAPERS IN PAPER PACKS:There are 3 new paper packs that have special cardstock colors, that are NOT available in our regular line of cardstock colors. There are no ink pads, markers or re-inkers in those special colors, as well. Those paper packs are :  Avonlea, Flirty and La Belle Vie. CTMH has added these fun, trendy colors to these paper packs to keep fresh and up-to-date with current paper-crafting colors and trends, without having to add tons of new colors to the permanent line. These papers also create "urgency" for your customers....they will want those fun new colors, so they will purchase the kits! There are supporting neutral colors in these paper packs that you can use to stamp with, that coordinate with the special colors, of course, so no worries! Plus many of our other inks blend well with these paper packs.

New Supply Items:

W1117 Cricut Cutting Mats (2)  $12
W1118 Cricut Spatula  $5
W1119 Cricut Replacement Blades (20) $10

Order these on a supply order....they are NOT commissionable, but how GREAT that we carry them and can order them when need them asap without having to go hunting for them!

New Markers:

Not like Copic Markers, except they are alcohol ink

1. Not refillable
2.Store only horizontal
3. Hard tips
4.Will color on clear sparkles and clear embossing! (COOL!)
5. Works best when coloring an image in, if you stamp with: new Pigment Ink cubes. They work with Stazon, but still may smear. Our regular ink pads aren't the best to use with the markers.
6. Be sure and put scrap paper under whatever you are coloring...the ink will bleed through!
7. Shake the marker before using!

Artiste Cricut Cartridge Features:

1. Easier to find images
2. More organized, with "like" images grouped together.
3. How-to booklet with photos on how to put the 3-D projects together! (amazing!)
4. 700 images!
5. Several mini albums....cut out the pages, embellish and assemble!
6. 20 cupcake wrappers!
I LOVE this cartridge already!

This question was brought up: What if a customer just wants the cartridge and not the stamp sets and chipboard sheets? Should I sell them just the cartridge?

My answer: absolutely not! Tell your customer it comes "pre-packaged", so there is no way to separate it. Suggest they give the stamps and chipboard away as a gift, or donate them.
Also tell them: the stamps and chipboard are included for FREE, so customers can see how well the images on the cartridge coordinate with our stamps, accessories and Workshops on the Go!  The cartridge alone is well worth  the $99....with 700 images!
Regular Cricut cartridges average between 70-90 shapes. Ours is a GREAT value!

I highly suggest that you do NOT separate the cartridge and the stamps and chipboard. It will set a bad precedent....and others will want you to do the same and you will be losing money!

Another great thing about our cartridges.....another consultant shared that one of her downline had a customer remark that she was disappointed with CTMH, saying that we aren't keeping up with Stampin' Up"...SU had so many more punches, dies, than we do, etc.  Really?? Well....let's just see about that....yes, they do have alot more punches than we do, but...at what cost??....

This CTMH consultant did this comparison and shared it on the cruise email group:

SU carries...   
                     
46 punches                       
7 edgeing punches               
12 framelets
21 dies 
8 bigz dies                          
for a total of 73 punches and dies....
at a total cost of...wait for it....$1,920.15!!!

(not including storage of all the items above, plus
carrying them (heavy!) to a crop or a gathering, etc.)

Close To My Heart has:
2 Exclusive Cricut cartridges = $200
even if you add in the cost of a Cricut Expressions machine...approx. $200....
The total is $400.....WAY less expensive than all of those punches and dies!! And way more images!!
Isn't that incredible? Just another awesome selling point, if anyone happens to mention something like that to you!

Compensation Plan:

We discussed this a little....inspired to share some thoughts shared by my upline, Sheri Rottler in an email to her team: (thanks for sharing, Sheri!)

"Are you taking full advantage of our awesome new compensaton plan? Know your montly sales totals, so you don't miss out on a simgle dollar! It can make a big difference in your paycheck and your product credits. For instance, if you sell $599 this month but order a little more, just enough to reach the $600 mark, you get an additional $25 in SPC (Select Product Credit), for a total of $50!! That makes a big difference! There are SPC increases at $150, $400, $600 and $800.

Another important level to keep in mind is to reach $1,000 in sales. At this level, not only are you maxing out your SPC ($75) but you also gain an additional 8% in override commissions...that's another $80 in your pocket!!

Have you checked your SPC lately? It's now on the main page when you log into your CTMH account, right at the top of all the other stats! Yay for that!
Sheri mentioned that one of her downline didn't really know about SPC and had $400 in her account, waiting to be spent!! So check it often...and remember, SPC expires 1 year from the date you earned it...so it's not good forever.

What can you use SPC for:   

Invest in your business without having to take money out of your pocket!

1. Hostess gifts/customer gifts (for large sales at a gathering, for a large order, etc.)
2. Prized for games at a gathering or workshop.
3. Customer gifts at Christmas
4. Get supplies using SPC, and then do some FREE projects for customers
5. Incentives for your team....for recruiting, sales, etc.
6. I use my SPC to get supplies for my club projects for the next month, so I use mine every month...that's less money out of my pocket!
 7. Give a new recruit some extra little incentive gifts if she reaches her Straight to the Top goals!

Keep track of your sales and your SPC...it pays!!

Love this Paper Cupcake!

Album Retreat: Salt Lake City Utah, March 14th-16th  City Creek Marriott   More info to come from corp. 
 
One last reminder...I know it's a bit early, but....Sept 30th is the last day of the sales quarter...so you have a month and half to get your $300 min. sales in, if you don't already!

Make is productive, profitable week!!

Showcase our CTMH Papers

Here is how I showcase our papers. I found this black n' white polka dot album at Big Lots for $5. It has 6-4x6 openings. Perfect for our papers. I add the zip strip from each paper pack and put them in order just like the catalog.
You need to order two Spring/Summer B&T Duos Samplers and cut off 2" for another sample ring. (be aware of the hole and the direction of the print before you cut) I just flip each paper to reveal all 6 prints. I also cut up a catty for the titles.
