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.

This weekend was my son’s birthday and he is a HUGE Snoopy fan. So of course I wanted to try and do some sort of Snoopy birthday card for him. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out and figured I’d share the card base for anyone else who might have a Snoopy fan in their life.

The first *NEW* Close To My Heart product that I was exposed to from the 2018 Holiday Expressions Catalog was Stacy Julian’s latest Story by Stacy product–Short Story.

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.
Another beautiful collection from Close To My Heart that will be retiring after tomorrow is the Documented Collection. In addition to the wonderful assortment of colors and patterns in this paper collection, it has wonderful coordinating wooden embellishments, too!
Last week I shared how I turned a “fail” on creating a Right Angle Fold Over Card into a success. I was inspired to create my own Right Angle Card after I received this one from Elizabeth Hawley. So today I’m going to share with you how simple it is to create a Right Angle Fold Over Card as well as how to create the Double Triangle Pocket Card I initially thought was a fail!
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!

Today I have some very exciting news to share. Tomorrow Close To My Heart will be debuting their first ever Subscription Kit. I’m so very excited about this!
Every aspect of this new product offering is AMAZING.
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.
While today’s card has an origami fold to it (which can sometimes be intimidating for some), the design overall is quite simple and clean. I used this month’s Stamp of the Month, Highlight Reel, to make it.
