Valentine’s cards don’t need to just be red, pink or purple. You can make any heartfelt handmade card into the perfect Valentine!
CTMH Card Ideas
Pretty in Pink All Month Long
I received this card from Judy Faye Garner in a Card Swap I participate in with the release of each new Close To My Heart Catalog. It seemed like the perfect card to introduce the February CTMH Special: Pretty in Pink.
Love Letters Card
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!!
Bloom Where You Are Planted Card
Today’s card is one that was created by Janice Hodgkin. I received it in a card swap I participate in with each new catalog release. I instantly loved that it was created using the same pattern I recently used from the *NEW* Make It From Your Heart Volume 4. You can see my post with my card HERE.
Floral Thank You Card with Vellum
Today’s card is SO pretty. It’s the simple addition of vellum that just really packs a punch.
Bee Mine Pleated Card
It’s a little less than a month until Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect time to start making those handmade cards for your sweetheart!
Let Love Grow Card
Today I have another project to share that uses the January Stamp of the Month–Bloom & Grow.
Thanks Flower Card
Today’s card is another I created with Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp Set + Thin Cuts dies. I truly love this set and have used it SO many times already.
Welcome Spring Card
Today it’s rainy and pretty dreary where I live. But I actually like it. It’s a change in weather, something I feel like there isn’t enough of in California (it’s important to note that I grew up in the Midwest so I am accustomed to some pretty dramatic weather changes!) I felt like this card … Read more Welcome Spring Card
Holiday Snow Globe Card
The only thing better than making handmade cards for friends and family is receiving a handmade card! I love seeing all the creativity that is poured into making a handmade card. I especially love this card I received from one of my teammates, Elizabeth. The idea of using a circle behind the snow globe is … Read more Holiday Snow Globe Card
