Soccer Cards for the End of the Season

November 9, 2016 by Kristina Baldwin

My kids are approaching the end of the Fall Soccer Season (thankfully!) While it’s always fun to watch them make new friends and learn to play as a team each season, it’s always a relief when the end is in sight. Fall is especially hard with the start of school and all the weekly activities … Read more Soccer Cards for the End of the Season

October 19, 2016 by Kristina Baldwin

If you’d like to re-create this card for yourself (because why wouldn’t you!?!), here are the supplies she used: Monster Crossing (B1528) Emerald Stamp Pad (Z2806) Willow Stamp Pad … Read more Monster Crossing Halloween Card

Birthday Card

September 28, 2016 by Kristina Baldwin

Today’s card is spectacular! It was created by Elise from my Annual Inspirations Catalog Swap. It’s quite stunning with her use of the wet embossing technique for the background piece; she repeatedly stamped the Black Cardstock with the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from CTMH’s Wise Guy Birthday Stamp Set (C1662). Here are the supplies used to … Read more Birthday Card

The Perfect Card for Any Harry Potter Fan!

July 30, 2016 by Kristina Baldwin

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!

From the Notebook Card

July 13, 2016 by Kristina Baldwin

This card not only uses this month’s Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month—From the Notebook, but also several items that will be retiring at the end of this month. It’s a great time to snatch up these items before they are discontinued!

The first thing I did was cut out the notebook paper from the Cricut Artbooking Collection–I mean how could you pass up pairing the stamp set with this awesome cut!?!

This Happy Life Card

September 25, 2015 by Kristina Baldwin

Can you believe there are only a few more days of National Stamping Month? October will be here next week! I can’t believe it. If you haven’t had a chance to get your hands on one (or all 3!) of CTMH’s exclusive National Stamping Month Stamp Sets–Hello, Life, don’t delay much longer.

These stamps sets pair together so well. Even though they each were designed with a specific type of crafting in mind (cardmaking, scrapbooking and pocket scrapbooking) the images contained in each set are perfect complements to each other.

For this particular card, I used both the Pocket Scrapbooking and the Scrapbooking Hello, Life Stamp Sets.
