If you love a more grungy and masculine look, then have we got the collection for you! Close To My Heart has brought back their popular Urban Collection–and it’s been updated with our new color palette. Plus, it includes a fresh *NEW* Urban Flair Stamp Set.
As promised earlier in the week, I have a fun card I created with the current Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month, Family Time. I used several of the smaller images from the stamp set to create my own custom paper using the technique of random stamping.
For the past 7 weeks, I’ve been sharing holiday project tutorials with those who’ve signed up for our mailing list. So far we’ve shared 5 holiday card ideas and are in the middle of our gift ideas (tomorrow will be the 3rd gift idea.) If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so before tomorrow at 1 pm (PDT) and receive the remaining project tutorials.
Making a stunning handmade card doesn’t have to involve a lot of tricky techniques or fancy folds. Sometimes the simple act of adding layers can make for a real showstopper. That’s exactly what this thank you card I received from Judy Faye Garner is–a stunning beauty!
It’s the final few days to grab the Close To My Heart October Stamp of the Month, Autumn Air. This stamp set has a great variety of images–from outline and solid leaf images to sentiments and even a fun border image.
There’s just one week left to grab the adorable Close To My Heart Spooktacular Special items–the fun paper pack, the cute Frightful Friends Stamp Set (with or without the coordinating dies) or the complete kit.
It’s time to “Perk Up” because the popular Perk Up Stamp Set + Coordinating Thin Cuts Dies are back in stock and ready to be ordered!
Today’s project is so quick and easy to put together and makes such a great presentation for a gift card. And with the holiday season just around the corner, you’ll definitely want to make some of these yourself!
Today I wanted to quickly share an adorable Shaker Card I received from Elizabeth Hawley. How cute is this shaker made with real birdseed? I think sometimes we get so focused on what we “should” fill our Shaker Cards with (i.e. beads, sequins, etc.) that we miss these fun opportunities!
Things have been pretty busy here this week preparing for my Annual Holiday Extravaganza Class & All-day Crop. Add in the stress of wondering if our city & neighborhood would be one that would be impacted by PG&E’s Power Shutoff and it feels as though I’m scrambling to get things done (& hope they don’t become undone–like food purchased for Saturday’s event going bad if the power is shut off!)
I received this AMAZING Halloween Card from Robin Charvet. It’s simply too awesome to not share! I love the splatter affect she achieved using our Shimmer Brush in the Color of the Year–Julep. It’s a technique I need to incorporate into an upcoming project for sure! And aren’t those Julep Sequins so beautiful?! They are definitely my favorite sequins collection to date.
Receiving this card from Judy Faye Garner was a great reminder that today is the last day you can grab the Close To My Heart September Stamp of the Month, Random Act of Cardness!
It’s hard to believe but September is coming to a close. There’s only a few more days to celebrate National Stamping Month with Close To My Heart’s Share the Seasons Special.
The *NEW* Close To My Heart Frightful Friends Stamp Set is just too cute! Plus, you can even get them with the coordinating dies–no fussy cutting. 🙂 This adorable Halloween set is around until October 31st (while supplies last.)
Last year Close To My Heart debuted a fabulous (and super easy!) Scrapbooking Subscription–Craft with Heart. This year they’ve added a Craft with Heart Cardmaking Subscription! And let me just say–it’s AWESOME! If you love making cards and you love the simplicity of receiving a kit full of goodness in the mail, then this *NEW* Subscription Box is for YOU!
