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!
If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for this ADORABLE Best Friends Furever Special from Close To My Heart to become available since you saw the sneak peek in the *NEW* November/December Catalog.
Happy Halloween! Today there are no tricks, just treats for you! I’m going to show you how you can create these cute (and easy) Tall Treat Pouches. While my sample today is Halloween themed, I can easily see this project duplicated for Christmas and filled with candy canes or other tall treats for the holiday. Grab your favorite patterned paper, your Paper Trimmer, some strong double-sided adhesive and a Bone Folder and let’s get started.
If you’re like me, you have a tough time parting ways with pretty paper–no matter how small the piece is. I’ve definitely gotten better over the years by trying to hold true to my new rule of the “scrap” must be at least a 3″x 3″ piece before I save it. For this reason, today’s blog post by Close To My Heart definitely piqued my interest!
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.
Today I wanted to share a quick 5-minute video that takes you through the completed Days of December Album that is on special right now with Close To My Heart.
