Convention 2018 and Retiring List

Close To My Heart Convention 2018 is officially over!  Although there is much news to share, "mum" is the word until September 1.  Trust me, though, the wait will be worth it!

I created and shared the following card with some of my closest convention friends.  The hearts were cut with the Thin Cuts-Stitched Hearts dies using the ten colors in the Adventure color palette.  The "Close to my Heart" sentiment was cut on Black cardstock using the You Are Here CTMH Cricut cartridge with a piece of White Daisy cardstock adhered behind.


As you may be able to tell from this close up of the card, I popped the sentiment and all the hearts with foam tape to add a bit of dimension.  I love the colors of the rainbow that this palette provides.


The sad news is that some of the colors that I used in this card are on the short list of retiring colors.  Please get your coordinating cardstock, ink pads, and reinkers before it's too late as they are only available through August 31 and while supplies last.


Finally, there is more than these beautiful colors set to retire.  Please review the following list for any of your favorites before they're gone!
