Do you ever make holiday decor items to decorate your home for the holidays? That’s what I did with today’s project! I found a wooden bat at a local craft store and thought it would go perfectly with Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Hello Pumpkin Paper Collection.
Today’s project is one where the name is simply so deceiving–it’s called the Impossible Card but truthfully it’s so impossibly simple to do! Usually, my love of crafting resonates strongly with my daughter but this card was way more in my son’s wheelhouse this time around. This design is based on a popular magic trick called the Hypercard Illusion trick and is one he himself has done (but it didn’t look as pretty!) Today I’m going to show you how simple it is to do so you can create your own.
Today’s project is a gift bag I created with the Close To My Heart More Magical Special. When you purchase the More Magical Workshop Kit, you receive instructions on how to create fun scrapbook layouts and cards. But there’s no reason you can’t create other items with this fun paper pack!
Close To My Heart introduced 2 *NEW* fun dies that are the perfectly sized for a card front. The first one, A Big Thank You, is perfect for making a sweet thank you note.
It’s only 2 weeks away! The Santa Clara Stamp & Scrapbook Expo will be on Friday, August 3rd and 4th and I’ll be hosting a Close To My Heart Booth again.

Last week I shared a fun argyle favor box created with our *NEW* Thin Cuts Favor Box Die. Today I have a quick 3-minute video to show you just how quick and easy it is to put one of these together using this new die. To see this Favor Box die as well as all … Read more Close To My Heart Favor Box Tutorial
Close To My Heart released a *NEW* Favor Box die in their Seasonal Expressions 2 Catalog earlier last month. It is a really fun one and so easy to put together!
The end of the school year is approaching which can only mean one thing–appreciation time! Not only are there teachers to appreciate for an amazing school year, but there are many others who’ve made their mark, too. One of which is your scout leader(s)!
It’s only a few days until Easter. Are you ready? Need a cute mini Easter basket to give to someone special? Here’s the perfect one you can create in no time! Let me show you how.
This past Saturday my daughter had the opportunity to attend a Red Carpet Event with her Girl Scout troop along with 17 other troops. Each troop created their own movie and this event was the premier showing of those movies (luckily they could each only be 3-5 minutes otherwise with 18 movies to watch it would be quite the marathon!)
The last several days have been quite busy for me! The Stamp & Scrapbook Expo kicked off it’s 2018 season in Pleasanton and I hosted a Close To My Heart booth! The Expo itself was Friday and Saturday with setup on Thursday (in the pouring rain, I might add!)
One of the amazing and beautiful projects you can make with this month’s Pretty in Pink Special is this lovely Butterfly Mobile. This video walks you through the process–step-by-step!
With it being just a couple of days until Valentine’s Day, I thought I would share a card idea each day giving you a little inspiration on a style of card you could create for your loved one (that is, if you still are in need of one!)
Today is the last day of January. This means it is the last day to grab Close To My Heart’s Stamp of the Month. It also is the last day to celebrate National Papercrafting Month. And that means it’s also the last day to get the exclusive Love Letters Kit from Close To My Heart. While these DIY Monogram Kits are positively stunning (so spectacular in person!) they also make some pretty fabulous cards, too. It might be worth it to take a second look at these limited-time kits!!
It’s a little over 2 weeks until Valentine’s Day. Are you ready? Today I have 3 handmade gift ideas that you could try out this Valentine’s Day.
