About a week ago I was flipping through a Pier 1 catalog that I got in the mail and came across a picture of this beautiful frame.  I kept thinking about the frame and how it would make a really pretty Christmas Card. photo credit - Pier 1 Imports This frame was my inspiration for this card!  I used my Artbooking cricut cartridge and Design Space to cut the Overlay (6 1/2 x 4 1/2).  I cut the Overlay four times  -twice in White Daisy, Teal Glitter paper and Green Glitter paper.  I used the White Daisy as my base and cut apart the Teal and Green Glitter Ornaments.  I cut two White Daisy overlays so that I could use ALL of the ornaments.  So I have another card just like this only the ornaments shown here are an opposite color on the other card.  Under the overlay is a 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 White Daisy cardstock embossed the with the Confetti Stars embossing folder.  All of this is layered onto a 7 x 5 Card.  The Merry Christmas Ba...

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the new Confetti Wishes paper from Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations book along with a few other new products that will be released in August.   This paper is so much fun!! My great uncle turns 90 next week and his family is throwing a big party!  When I say '90' don't you dare think wheelchairs, nursing homes and canes!   He still lives at home, travels... ALOT and even has a cabin that he and his sons have been rebuilding up in Canada.  He is a World War II vet and always has lots of stories to share.  When people talk about favorite uncles, my Great Uncle Ed always come to mind.  I wish I could join in the party this weekend but I had other obligations already on my calendar.  So, I created this fun card to send him Birthday Wishes. The printed paper is from the new Confetti Wishes paper.  Using the Artbooking cartridge, I cut the cupcake base from our new  Canary Cardstock and ...

Happy Valentines Day! I don't make alot of Valentine cards but I have some new Pink Glitter paper from Close To My Heart that I thought would make a pretty Valentines Card!   Oh yeah and have I mentioned my new embossing folders?   You bet!  I had to incorporate that into my card too! Freshly Made Sketches had the perfect sketch! The Pink Glitter paper comes in 3 different shades of pink.  I used two of them here.  I cut the hearts on my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge at 1" and 3/4".  I stamped the sentiment in Slate Ink. The sentiment is from the Valentine's themed stamp that was our National Papercrafting Month Special in 2013.  It's a cute little stamp and I just had to hang onto it!    The twine is from the Ruby Mini Medley Accent collection.  I love the silver thread that runs through it! Here are the Close To My Heart Products I used: Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge - Z1686 I'm entering this c...

Another simple, quick & easy card!  This time I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!  I love their sketches.... clean and simple!   I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to create the Happy Holidays banner.  First I cut the banner from white cardstock and then I cut the frame from the green glitter paper to layer.   Recipe: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 White Daisy Card Green Glitter Paper  - Z1847 Red Shimmer Trim - Z1848 Base & Bling Red Jewels - Z1893 Holiday Tags - D1560 Black Ink Artiste Cricut Collection - Z1790 CAS(E) This Sketch! #52 BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE  HOLIDAY FROM THE HEAR GIFT GUIDE!

Wedding cards are something that I don't need too much.  When I did need one, I never really had a stamp that was geared towards getting married.   Problem solved with the new 2013 Spring Summer Idea Book from Close To My Heart!  I have a beautiful new stamp - The Happy Couple (D1539) that I couldn't wait to use!  Even though I don't know anyone getting married right now I created a card yesterday.  Now, I will have a card ready the next time I need one. I used the sketch from Just Us Girls this week to create this card. I used a piece of black glitter paper from the new Black and Grey Glitter paper (Z1829) for my background on this 5x7 card.  The cake and "Congratulations" are from The Happy Couple stamp set (shown right).  I trimmed each layer of cake with a tiny strip of black glitter paper.    The third new product I used is the For Always Textiles (Z1820).    These textiles coordinate with the For Always (...

I don't think I've EVER made so many valentine cards lately.  But this Whooo's Your Valentine Stamp is just the cutest!!  It is the exclusive stamp that you can only get in the Whooo's Your Valentine Kit from Close To My Heart! I'll share my card and then I tell you how to get this stamp set before they are all gone!   I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for this card.   The chevron and little heart stamp are great for stamping a pattern on my paper.  I had no problem lining them up evenly with my clear blocks.  I used Hollyhock cardstock and Silver Glitter paper that were included in my kit for the card.  The Silver Glitter paper is one of the new products for Spring and Summer!  I can't wait to get more!  The Glitter Pack will come in 2 different shade packs - Black & Grey or Brown & Tan.  I finished the card with a little bling using sparkles from the Black & Grey Sparkle Collection. I keep up wi...
