I'm back with another card I created using the Hello Life!-Cardmaking stamp! This is one of THREE stamps set that are available ONLY during the month of September to celebrate National Stamping Month!   These stamp sets are $13.95 each or you can purchase all three for $34.95!  That is a savings of almost $7! I love the new Confetti Stars embossing folder!  (Z3119) This card also showcases two of our new colors - Sapphire and Pomegranate.  I paired these with Goldrush.  I also used the Enamel and Glitter Duos Blue Dots (Z3122) .  I love these new embellishments because there are 6 different shades of blue so I can use them with all sorts of projects!   Purchase your Hello Life! stamps here!

Have you dipped your toes into the Pocket Page scrapbooking trend yet? It really is so much fun not to mention quick! This month during National Stamping Month , Close To My Heart has a special stamp for the Picture My Life scrapping enthusiasts. I had so much fun playing with this one.  I created a set of cards using one of my favorite color combos of the new Enchantment Color Palette - Poppy, Fern and Saffron! I used the Hello Life!-Pocket Scrapbooking for my cards: Here they are all together! I created three simple 3x4 cards which are just stamping!  My other three cards are all 4x6 and each feature one of the new images from the Artistry Cricut Collection.  Don't you just love that swish of paint?  It is one of the images on the stamp set!  Products used: Hello Life - PML Scrapbooking Stamp White Daisy Cardstock Poppy Cardstock Saffron Cardstock Fern Cardstock Poppy Exclusive Ink Saffron Exclusive Ink Fern Exclu...
