A Little Gift.... New M size stamps!

Here is a sneak peek at one of the new "M" size stamps coming out in Close To My Heart's Autumn Winter Idea Book!  There are 8 new "M" size stamps.  The great thing about these little beauties is that you can create a quick card in no time at all with them and they are only $2.95 each!

I was sitting as my crafting table last night with a HUGE list of 'must do' items before my upcoming Open House but not in the mood to do any of them!  I spotted a card I started a few weeks ago and never finished.  The card was supposed to be clean and simple with no embellishments but I was having such a hard time sticking to the rule of Clean and Simple that I set it aside to finish another day.  Not wanting to tackle my 'must do' list, I pulled the card over and began putting it together - adding a layer of cardstock, twine and Glitz Glitter Gel.  I think it was the card I envisioned from the beginning.   I will just have to resign myself to the fact that I will always have to add sparkle and twine or ribbon somewhere!

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
