Today I'm sharing a layout that my talented friend Briana Bostick created with the Magical papers. Back in April at our annual Spa Girls reunion in Virginia we got to create with new products from the Seasonal Expressions 2 book.  It is so much fun to collaborate and share our ideas.   Briana shows many fun aspects of using the Magical papers and compliments. Let's see if we can get a closer look: This layout is Pattern #4 from Make It From the Heart Vol. 2 book.  Briana used a great mix of compliments throughout her layout.   I love how she added Blue and Yellow Magical sequins to "Let's Ride".  Her title on this page is actually one of the pocket cards that is included with the paper pack. She used another pocket card as a journaling space on the left page. (see yellow card with lines.) She also used our new White Twine for an added special touch.   Isn't this layout great??   Thank you Briana for letting me share this on my blog today! Remembe

Did you know that I have a special VIP Facebook group for all my papercrafting friends and customers?  Two years ago, I realized that my customers were missing important announcements, specials and artwork because they were not seeing my daily posts in their feed.  I knew then that a Group was the way to 'get the word' out. By joining and becoming a member of my special StampinHeaven Facebook Group you won’t miss those special announcements, artwork, tips & techniques, videos and of course - giveaways too! I will still be posting on my StampinHeaven Business Page, but my goal with the  StampinHeaven Facebook Group   page is to be more interactive.... I want to get to know you and what you like more.   I want YOU to get to know me!  I want to inspire you, amuse you and bring out that crafty side that everyone has.  YES EVERYONE has one, they just may not know it.  I want to build a community of papercrafters that feel free to share their own ar

I love this layout we created at our Making Connections Events back in March.  I've been waiting to share this until summer time.  These papers are perfect for your amusement park visits whether they are to Disney or other parks!  The fun coordinating compliments include die-cut cameras, arrows, tags and even a castle.  Some of these die-cuts have a silver foil.  The compliments also include big title stickers.   I used "Big Smiles" for my title and added Silver Foil Tape to the layout because it looks great with the foil die-cuts. The Magical Papers and Compliments will be available through August 31 but I think these will be so popular I would not wait to get them.   Shop for these and other products now at www.stampinheaven.ctmh.com Products Used: Magical Paper Pack X7209B Magical Compiments - X7209C Silver Foil Tape - Z3130

This month Close To My Heart will be featuring the Magical Paper.  You may already be seeing it popping up all over instagram, facebook and blogs.   The paper pack is so much fun and can be used in a variety of ways.   Last week I shared a mini book I created with a piece of paper from Magical. Today, I want to share some cards.   I created the three layouts from the Magical Workshop Your Way kit and had plenty of paper left over to create the cards that were also included in the instructions.  The cards shown in the guide use the Fairytale Birthday stamp and look like this: But I decided I wanted to use a different stamp set for my cards.  So I cut the papers exactly the same but changed up my stamp and used the Carnival Fun stamp and thin cuts! I also used the little M size stamp - Bitty Birthday (M1144).   I think they turned out quite cute!! The Magical Paper will be available through the end of August 31 but I wouldn't wait to purchase it!  Supplies
