Warmest Wishes

Hello Everyone!  Today I have a winter "thinking of you" card.  It is using all Close To My Heart products from our new Annual Inspirations 2015-2016 catalog.

I'm using the brand new White Pines paper packet on a colonial white cardbase.

The sentiment is stamped in cranberry using the Warmest Wishes stamp from the Make it Merry stamp set D1617.  The border is stamped in chocolate (my favorite!) using the Perfect Picture stamp set included with our brand new cricut cartridge collected called Artistry.

These cute little mittens were cut also using the Artistry Cricut Collection.  The love the extra layer of color with using the blue for the mittens.

3 of the sparkles from the CTMH Sparkles Assortment Z1752 were colored with our Turquoise Blue shin han marker to help pull the card together.

Halloween Cards Take 2

Whoohoo!  More fun with the Close To My Heart retired paperpacket Scaredy Cat and retired stamp set Creepy Critter.

These are so CAS that I almost didn't post them, but I changed my mind because I absolutely love how they turned out and can't wait to get them in the mail for Halloween.  One of the many things I love about CTMH paperpackets is how they coordinate together.  Each paperpacket includes 6 - B&T (background and texture) 12x12 sheets and 6 - 12x12 solid cardstock sheets.  Both of the cards below are using only a tiny fraction of the paperpacket described above and a cardbase.

For the top card - I really like the way the diagonal stripes are in colors to make the haunted house "pop".  I'm not a huge fussy cutting fan but i think those little owls make a nice addition to the card.

Sorry for the bad lighting on this card.  I have to admit that it is my favorite.  I love using the Thistle ink on the grey cardstock and I think this vampire is adorable.

To add a little something extra to the inside of the card there are stamped mice running across the bottom of the Haunted House card and stamped bats across the bottom of the vampire card.  It's super cute.

Halloween Cards

Hello there!  It has been awhile since I was able to sit down and play in my scrapbook room.  I'm super excited to share a couple Halloween cards.

Both cards are very clean and simple.  I love the paper and the stamp set and they are doing a great job speaking for themselves.  These cards are using up my prior catalog Halloween paper stash from Close To My Heart - the Scardy Cat paperpacket and the Creepy Critter stamp set.
