Did you celebrate National Stamping Day by stamping up some beautiful creations? Perhaps you used Close To My Heart’s adorable Create Kindness Kit they are offering this month only. These are the latest cards I created with the kit. I added in Shimmer Trim–the perfect complement for sure! Don’t forget–you can create any color … Read more Happy National Stamping Day!
This card is definitely too cute to spook! The *NEW* Monstrous Halloween Stamp Set and coordinating Thin Cuts are simply adorable. Tonight we made this card at my Technique Time Class. I figured this stamp set was perfect for creating a Double Z Fold Card. It turned out so cute! I can’t wait to try … Read more Monstrous Halloween Double Z Fold Card
Did you know that September is National Stamping Month? All month long you can celebrate by stamping beautiful creations. And if you really want to get into the spirit, you can celebrate on Saturday, September 17th–that’s National Stamping Day!
You know what would be a great way to celebrate? You could snag one of the exclusive *NEW* kits CTMH designed specifically for this month!
Have you had a chance to see all the wonderful *NEW* products released from CTMH this month? Here’s a great video showcasing some of those *NEW* products. Fall in love with something you just saw in the video? Shop 24/7 on my ONLINE CTMH STORE!
Do you ever find yourself in a creative rut? Whether you’re a scrapbooker or cardmaker, Close To My Heart has the answer! CTMH has compiled amazing “how-to” books that are full of ideas. Each idea comes with a diagram, a cutting guide, step-by-step instructions and a color photo of a completed project using that template. It’s really quite awesome.
We’re on the tail end of August now and I just realized I haven’t shared any projects with this month’s Stamp of the Month—Purr-fect Halloween (gasp!)
This truly is a super cute stamp set. And if you like cats (like my daughter!) you will no doubt love this set.
Summer is coming to a close. Kids have either headed back to school or will be shortly. Now is the perfect time to capture those summer memories while they are still fresh in your mind! Did you take a summer trip to an amusement park this summer? Well, Close To My Heart’s Magical Collection is the perfect companion for those amusement park photos! While the colors in this collection are definitely Disney inspired, the sentiments and images found in the papers and accessories are so versatile that they work well with any theme park.
Today was the first day of school for my kids. I was excited to pull out the sign I made several years ago–it’s the perfect photo prop as I made the portion that says “first day of school” on velcro so I also have a strip that says “last day of school” to pull out and use at the end of the year.
I figured with the start of a new adventure, today was also the perfect day to show off some fun cards made with Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Emojis Stamp Set.
A little creative inspiration (plus a great tip!) using our *NEW* Thin Cuts shapes that are designed to stand alone without any stamping (unlike our prior ones that coordinated with a specific stamp set.) These were the first thing I gravitated toward and truly are my favorites from the *NEW* Annual Inspirations Catalog! Watch and enjoy…
Today marks one week until my kids head back to school. Wow. Summer went so FAST this year. If you’re also thinking about back to school and you’d like a fun way to give your child’s teacher a special note and possibly a gift card to start off the year (maybe for Starbucks or a … Read more Back to School Gift Card Holder
Did you know that Close To My Heart supports Operation Smile? They even offer an exclusive stamp set that donates $7–yep, $7 of the purchase price to Operation Smile to help children have surgeries to correct cleft palate and cleft lip (children who might otherwise never have access to this common service we each can unknowingly take for granted.)
What could be better than treating yourself to brand *NEW* papers? How about getting even MORE paper for FREE?!? During the month of August, when you order our *NEW* Whimsy Adventure and Enchantment Fundamental Paper Collections, you can choose to get either the Rustic Home Fundamentals Or the Uptown Fundamentals for FREE! … Read more Basically the Best CTMH Special
It’s here…Close To My Heart’s 2016-2017 Annual Inspirations Idea Book/Catalog. It’s time to be inspired! There are so many wonderful *NEW* products.
First–you guessed it–a *NEW* exclusive Cricut Collection. Meet the Cricut Flower Market Collection!
Are you part of the Harry Potter frenzy? Did you pre-order your book? Or maybe you are heading to a launch party at midnight tonight?
We pre-ordered ours and should have it between midnight and 2 am thanks to Amazon Prime Now! My son, who is completely an “early to bed, early to rise” guy believes he will be able to stay awake until the book arrives!
In honor of the festivities, I whipped up this fun card using CTMH’s exclusive Cricut Artiste (retiring!) and Artistry Collections. The hardest (not really hard) part was paper piecing the tie together. Otherwise, with all the Cricut cuts it went together in a snap!
