Close To My Heart is Celebrating National Stamping Month

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I can’t believe I almost forget to tell you about this September Stamping Special, but don’t worry you still have time to get yours.  All you need to do is go to my Close To My Heart Shopping Page.

September is National Stamping Month, and this year Close To My Heart has something to help every kind of papercrafter say a big “hello” to life!

Available only during the month of September, these exclusive C-size My Acrylix® Hello, Life! stamp sets can be purchased for $13.95 USD/$16.50 CAD each!

Or, for an even better deal, you can purchase all three for only $34.95 USD/$41.50 CAD—a savings of $6.90 USD/$8 CAD!

Each stamp set is designed to fit with a specific type of papercrafting, whether that’s traditional scrapbooking, cardmaking, or pocket scrapbooking.

However, all the stamp sets coordinate with each other and can be used together to create dynamic artwork. These stamp sets also coordinate with shapes from the New Cricut® Artistry collection to help expand your artwork options even further.

Remember, these stamp sets are available for this one month only (September), so get your orders in for one stamp set—or all three—before these gorgeous stamps disappear!

Close To My Heart ~ Happy Birthday Card Idea

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Well it has been a rainy Saturday today, but its been a great craft day 🙂

I need more Happy Birthday card ideas for my list of September birthdays this month.

Todays card was made with all Close To My Heart products.  The pattern paper is from the seaside collection ~ I really love the look of this paper and I am so upset its no longer available 🙁

The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Just To Say…Cricut Collection that comes with the Artfully Sent cartridge.

The Slate Exclusive Inks and Glacier color goes perfectly with the paper. Using the sponge dabber I lightly brushed the ends of the sentiment inside the card.  I could have stamped it directly into the white cardstock but decided to add another layer with color.  *Ooops – I forgot to add the Glacier ink pad to the picture – I also had some strips of paper so instead of throwing them away I decided to add them to the bottom.  Who says the inside of the card can’t look as good as the outside? LOL

Enjoy the rest of your weekend ~ I will see you all back here on Monday with some more Close To My Heart Card Ideas.

A Simple Birthday Card That Looks Great!

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

It has been a busy time in my craft room making all kinds of cards, but I love this kind of busy 🙂

Today I want to share with you a birthday card that I made for our nephew.  And to be honest I really want to make a simple card, but just because its simple doesn’t mean it will not look good.

I used the April Stamp of the Month stamp set from Close to my Heart.  A really great thing that Close To My Heart does is every month they have a stamp special.  If you spend $50.00 you can purchase the stamp of the month for just $5.00, otherwise you can purchase it anytime for $17.95 USD.  I know that the catalog that I have ends this month, so not sure what’s in the new idea book.

This stamp set is called Typed Note #S1504  and it comes in a set of 19 stamps.  If you want to order this stamp set just click on the link and it will take you to my friend Kim’s Close To My Heart website 🙂

Ok back to the card.  I stamped the typewrite and the sentiment that goes inside the “paper” with the Close to my Heart Archival Black Exclusive Ink #44751 on white cardstock and then just layered that image on two layers of colored cardstock.  This was simple, but I think it turned out great.

~ Happy Birthday Luke ~

It is Officially Summer and Time to Craft

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Now that it is officially summer, and school is out, what kind of plans do you all have?  Hopefully crafting is on your list 🙂

I have been busy with lots of stuff lately, and I want to share with you some on my handmade greeting cards that I have been making.  This card I made for my mother-in-law for Mothers Day.

I think I told you already but just in case you missed it, My girlfriend Kim, is a Close To My Heart consultant and I ordered the Workshops On The Go, Blossom Cardmaking Kit.  I have always made cards from scratch, never from a kit, but let me tell you, this is AWESOME!

Everything that you need to make 15 cards is included.   Serious, all I needed was paper trimmer, stamp pad, acrylic block and adhesive.  And I have leftovers to make more 🙂

If you want to order this kit, please just click on this link and it will take you to Kim’s shopping page – Blosson Cardmaking Kit #G1095  Tell Kim I sent you 🙂
