Have you seen the fabulous Close To My Heart October Special yet? The Holiday Sparkle Shaker Cards? As you’ll see in this video, all you need to create these shaker cards is some adhesive (and ink if you want to stamp sentiments on the inside of the cards–and who wouldn’t, right?!)

Happy National Taco Day! Yep, today is the day to enjoy some tasty tacos. And in celebration of such a great holiday, I thought I’d share this card I received from Rose Mary Steel.
Today’s card is one I received from one of my Close To My Heart team members, Deb Mandac. It’s a wonderful example of a simple yet stunning Gate Fold Card.

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.
With the final days of the Seasonal Expressions 2 Catalog, I’m realizing just how much I’m going to miss the Fresh Air Collection. I think this collection was my favorite from this catalog. I love the paper designs, the fun wood embellishments and the color tones of the papers. Perhaps that is why I’m so … Read more Being Together Card

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!
