Last chance to get the August Craft With Heart Layouts!

Our new Craft With Heart subscription program has been hugely popular over the last year. The layouts for August are some of my favorites!

They are so bright and cheerful that I couldn’t help but smile when I was putting mine together.  What pictures do you have that would look good on these?

If you are familiar with our “Cut Above” line of products, you’ll understand how these layouts come together. Although the pages above have lots of fancy elements, there is NO CUTTING required! All those fancy designs are either printed directly on the base page, are punch apart papers or stickers! Seriously, these layout will come together in about 20 minutes or less.

These layouts are only available by subscription through August 31. If you subscribe today, these layouts will conveniently show up right on your door step!

When you sign up in August you’ll have a few options:

First, you will choose whether you want to receive a set of two layouts and pay each month. Alternatively, you can choose to receive the kits and pay every four months. With this option, you will receive 8 layouts immediately and again every January, May and September. You can save even more by selecting to pay annually. Under this option, you’ll still receive the layouts every four months, but you save 20% plus get free shipping when you choose annual billing.

Since August is the last month in the current 4 month cycle, you will also have the option of starting your subscription in August or deferring it until September.

Just to clarify, here are all of your choices using every combination of these options:

Monthly/Start immediately —>  You’ll be shipped he August kit now. Then on September 1, a new kit will be shipped. Your credit card will be charged for the August kit immediately and again on September 1 and each 1st of the month going forward.

4-month or 12-month/Start immediately –> Your subscription will be retroactive to May 1 and you’ll be shipped all 4 of the kits below (8 layouts) immediately. Then on September 1, a new set of 8 layouts will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged immediately for these four kits and again each September 1, January 1 and May 1 going forward.

12-month/Start immediately –> Your subscription will be retroactive to May 1 and you’ll be shipped all 4 of the kits above (8 layouts) immediately. Then on September 1, a new set of 8 layouts will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged immediately and every May 1 going forward.


Monthly/Start Sep 1 –> Your September layouts will ship on September 1 and you’ll have a new set every 1st of the month following. Your credit card will be charged on September 1 and each 1st of the month going forward.

4-month/Start Sep 1 –> On September 1, 8 layouts for the September through December kits will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged on September 1 and each January 1, May 1  and September 1 going forward.

12-month/Start Sept 1 –> On September 1, 8 layouts for the September through December kits will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged on September 1 and each September 1 going forward.

I hope that helped sort it out…basically, if you don’t want to miss out on the August layouts, be sure to select Start Immediately. If you want to get the May – August layouts select Start Immediately with the 4-month or 12-month option.

NEW! Craft with Heart Scrapbooking Subscription

Thursday in my August summary post, I shared with you the basics of our new Scrapbooking Subscription Program, Craft with Heart. Today I’d like to share more of the details and show you the layouts for the first four months of the program, September through December.

When the new Craft with Heart scrapbooking subscription was announced our annual convention in June, I was so excited and have been eagerly anticipating sharing it with you. Through this program, ready-to-make “Cut Above” scrapbook layouts arrive directly at your door in a pretty pink box! Now it’s even easier to stay on top of your scrapbooking passion.

Let’s get started>>

When this program is fully rolled out in September you will have the option of receiving your layouts monthly or every 4 months (following our Seasonal/Holiday Idea Book publication schedule). You will also have the choice to pay monthly, every 4 months or annually. You can start your subscription a month early and have your first set of 8 layouts mailed right away.

Let’s get started>>

Why Pay Annually?

The annual subscription is the best deal for several reasons.

  1. 20% discount. You pay just $7.18 per layout!
  2. Receive the kits for the first four months (8 layouts) right away! You’ll receive four more kits each January, May and September.
  3. No shipping charges! This is a savings of $59.40 over the monthly subscription.
  4. No renewal fees until September 2019. 
  5. Receive a coupon for 30 free prints from Persnickety Prints in each delivery

What are Cut Above Layouts?

This subscription is for two page 2-page 12″ x 12″ decorative Cut Above kits. Included in the kits are printed base pages, pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, stickers and photo placeholders. All you need is adhesive and a journaling pen —- and of course your photos. The pages really do come together super quickly.

The pages for each month coordinate with the paper packs in the 2019 Holiday Expressions Idea Book that will go live in September. This is great because if you want to do a series of matching pages, you can also do the Scrapbooking Workshop Your Way kits for a total of 5 to 8 coordinating layouts (10 to 16 pages).

Ready to see the projects?

Note that since these kits coordinate with products in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book, these pictures will give you just a little peak at what is to come!
