CTMH Enjoy These Moments & Gold Foil

I loved a card featuring Close To My Heart's stamp of the month created by Lalia Harris (@craftylalia) last week and couldn't wait to make it myself. I tweaked it a little to use the items I had on hand. For my card I used CTMH's Enjoy the Moments stamped in Paprika. My gold shimmer …

I love how pretty (and easy!) this card was to make! I was inspired by a card created by Julie Gearinger for Stamp Simply...I loved the sunset feel of the blended Distress Oxide Inks. Isn't it wonderful that Close To My Heart carries these now too? If you don't have them, our inks also work …

CTMH Enjoy These Moments

This latest Close To My Heart stamp of the month is splendid. I love the leaves and sentiments in Enjoy These Moments but, most of all, I love this heart image! I had so much fun coloring in each piece of foliage with Tombow markers and a waterbrush. It was quick and easy, and I …
