Today I'm sharing the 2nd card I created using the Rediscover download accent images from Close To My Heart! If you missed my first card I posted yesterday, you can see it HERE .   I'm combing the FREE download images with this month's special paper pack - Free To Be Me!   For this card I used the sketch from Seize the Sketch. The sentiment speaks shimmer and sparkle so I used silver glitter paper (Black and Grey Glitter Paper Z1829) and the Artbooking cricut cartridge (Z1906) to create the swirling border near the bottom.  To add even more sparkle, I added bling from the Sparkles Clear Assortment (Z1752).   To get your FREE download , click on the Rediscover box in the upper left corner of this blog.  It will take you right to my website for the download!  Look for a new and different download each month!

One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of each month is seeing what the new Rediscover download provided by Close To My Heart each month will be.   It's FREE and it's always fun!  This month's free download is called Rediscover Beauty and has four fun cards that you can get creative with!  The actual size of these cards are about 3" x 3 1/2".   These are great for cards, add to your layout or use along with your Picture My Life projects!   You can print out your own cards by selecting the "Rediscover Download" in the upper left corner of this blog.  It will take you right to my website where you can download!  The moment I saw these cards I knew immediately that they would be a great compliment to this month's National Scrapbooking Month special - Free To Be Me paper pack! The colors are a perfect match! So far I've created two cards. I'll share one here and the other one a little later so you will need to come back t...

Each month, Close To My Heart provides a fun download that you can use to create something with. I always look forward to the 1st of each month and can't wait to see what little goodie is waiting for me to download.   This month it is a sheet full of colorful tags!  You can either print them out for some VERY QUICK and easy tags for your gifts, or you can use them in other ways.  I decided to use them on some quick cards I wanted to create. Here are a couple of cards I created using one of these tags I used Sky and Cranberry Cardstock for this card.  Look closely and you can see where I used tone on tone stamping with snowflakes on the Cranberry cardstock.   I added a sparkle flourish and red bow (retired cranberry ribbon and I was done!  I used Sketch #270 from Clean and Simple Stamping for this card.   This one was very quick!
