I love Close To My Heart products. Will Studio J use the same great papers, patterns, colors and embellishments?

Of course! And...there are some FUN things you can do too! Like resizing stickers or embellishments - how cool is that!


Do I need to download any software to my computer to use Studio J?

You may have to update a piece of software on your computer...then you'll be able to PLAY! There's no software that you have to purchase. If you can browse the Internet, then you can access Studio J from my website: http://heatherstamps.myctmh.com/.


Can I save what I'm working on and come back to it later?

Absolutely! You'll want to create a customer profile that allows you to save and return to a project in progress at a later time. Your active projects will be saved for up to 90 days...giving you plenty of time to work on them. You extend that timeline for your active projects by 90 days each time you make a purchase, and your purchased projects will remain archived for one full year after purchase.


Do I need a printer that can print 12" x 12" pages to use Studio J?

No. Your Studio J layouts are not available for you to print from a home computer. CTMH takes care of the printing for you. When you purchase your designed layouts, CTMH prints and ships them quickly and directly to you using only top quality printing technology and archival-quality papers.


What is the price?
