Dynamic Duo

Close To My Heart's Dotty For You special is winding down!  There are only 10 days left to take advantage of this awesome deal!  I will be sharing more cards this week using this fabulous $5 pack of paper!  (More details on this pack at the end of this post!)

I love it when I discover new blog challenges that excite me!  Two that I recently discovered are the new Dynamic Duo Challenge blog and The Paper Players.  Each week Dynamic Duos features two colors to use in a card, layout or other project.   I LOVE the colors for this week.   It's called Black Tie and they used Black and a yellow.
                                        
Over at the Paper Players the challenge is to create something with Polka Dots!  Here is a card I created that works for both of these challenges.


I pulled out my Fashionista (D1504) stamp set that I have not used in a while.  It was one of the very first stamps I purchased as soon as Close To My Heart's 2012 Spring Summer Idea book came out.   I used the Buttercup  dotted pattern from the Dotty For You paper pack and teamed it up with the 'Fashionista' wearing a polka dot dress!  I added black brads to the centers of my dotted buttercup flowers from the Paradise Paper Flowers (Z1710).  This card was very quick and simple to make!




Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Oh!  What about that Dotty For You paper special?  It's 24 sheets of beautiful B&T (Pattern paper).  Two each of 12 designs.   You can purchase this special pack for only $5 when you purchase $35 in Close To My Heart products from the 2012 Spring Summer Idea Book!   Now THAT is an awesome deal!
Hurry!  This is a "While Supplies Last" item only through the end of May 31st!  Don't miss out!  To order, go to my website and start shopping HERE!

Thank you to all who joined my Mystery Hostess Party and shopped from the comfort of their own home!  I'm excited to announce THREE lucky Mystery Hostess!!  They will each get $20 in FREE Close To My Heart Products! ****WINNERS**** Rachel Boudrow Mandy LaCroix Vicky Roeger Be watching for another chance to join a Mystery Hostess Party!  Don't want to wait?  Be your own Hostess today!   Call me and book yours today. Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
