Easter Card

Hello,

I had so much fun making this card. 

I went to my stash and got this cute little discontinued Close To My Heart stamp set to make this card.

The paper is from a old Close To My Heart 
Happy Times paper packet. 

I love using my stitched dies to border the images. 

Colored in with Shinhhan and Copic markers.  

Thanks for stopping in to see!  Hugs!

Fish Happy Birthday

Hi there!
I make a lot of cards. There are many times that I go through my stash and find older Close To My Heart paper and card stock colors to use on my creation.  This is one of those cases.  
 I have been trying to only share "current" Close To My Heart stuff.  I have decided that this is my personal blog and I want show my creations no matter what paper and embellishments that I use.

 I hope that by sharing ALL my creations someone will be inspired by my cards and use the supplies they have on hand to create their own masterpiece!

  If there is a current product that can be purchased on my website, then I will make a link so you can look it up.  Otherwise, I will note if I got the products from my own personal "stash"!  

So with that being said, this card is one I made for my son for his birthday. He loves to fish and I had fun making this card.  I used the Hooked on You Stamp set from Close To My Heart.  I used the  Watercolor Paints and the Small Round Waterbrush to color the image in.  After it dried then I used the Liquid Glass on the water to give it that 3-d glossy water look.  I think it makes the fish look like it is really jumping out of the water!  The card stock and the embellishments and the embossing folder are from my stash!  
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creations. Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Sweet Card

I also used the Sugar Rush Paper Packet. 

I used the Seaglass Stamp pad, Raspberry Stamp pad, Tangerine Stamp Pad and the Canary Stamp Pad.

Oh, I also used the Clear Embossing Powder on top of the frosting on the Donut to make it looks glossy. 

Finished the card with the some Bitty Sparkles.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day! Hugs!

Hello Card

Good Morning!
For today's card I am using the fun Heartfelt Hello Stamp from Close To My Heart.  

I embossed this image with Gold Embossing Powder and colored it in using Watercolor paints and the Small round Waterbrush.

I used the patterned paper from the Dreaming Big Paper Packet.  

I also used Sorbet Cardstock and Glacier Cardstock.  Finished it off using the pretty

Sea Shell Card

This card is a quick and easy card using the Swirly Seashells Stamp set and Thin Cuts Bundle from Close To My Heart.

I decided to go with doing a simple card and using only one color of ink.  If you are inclined you can surely color the shells with some watercolors or markers or whatever your favorite art medium is!

I used the Cocoa Stamp Pad and Cocoa Cardstock.  I also used some patterned paper from the Rustic Home Fundamentals Paper Packet.  I added some ribbon from the Rustic Home Ribbon Pack and some Grey Enamel Gems.

Finished by stamping in Cocoa ink the sentiment from Happy To Be Friends Stamp Set.  

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day! Hugs!

Cute Bird Card

At my workshop this month we made this cute card.  Using the Some Kind of Wonderful Stamp Set from Close To My  Heart.  I used the patterned paper from the Some Kind of Wonderful Paper Packet as well. 

I also used a Simple Chevron Embossing Folder  with Lagoon Cardstock.  

Added a few cute little Dreamin Big Sequins from Close To My  Heart. 

A fun little card to drop in the mail to let someone know you are thinking of them! Have a great day!  Hugs!

You're Not Alone Card

This card is my version of the card idea that is in the Seasonal Expressions catalog from Close To My Heart.  

In this catalog you can purchase the  Here For You Workshops Your Way Cardmaking Kit that includes the stamp set you see here as well as  the patterned paper, cardstock, shimmer trim, embellishments and card bases and envelopes to make 12 cards.  

On my card I used different paper and "tweaked" the pattern a bit from the one in the catalog. 

 Instead of using the paper included in the kit,  I used the paper from the Whimsey Fundamentals Paper Pack.   

I used Smoothie, Sweet leaf and Pixie ink colors as well as a piece of Sweet leaf cardstock. 
 Using  a piece of Smoothie Cardstock I cut the heart out with the Thin Cuts -Basic Hearts Die Set.  
I embossed the heart with the Wood Slats Embossing Folder and attached to the card. 

 I love the sentiments from this stamp set and I enjoyed using it on this card. It always nice to have a card like this to share!  Until next time, have a great day!  Hugs!
