CTMH Thoughtful Critters Slimline Card

My nephew is celebrating his 16th birthday -- I wish I had thought to put that number on this card! I had so much fun creating it. The squirrels are a strange addition, I know! He liked to shoot them with his BB gun so last year I got him a target for his birthday …

Mini cards are perfect for leaving a little note or tucked in alongside a gift. I love them! Close To My Heart nailed it with their August stamp of the month -- Teach Love Inspire. Teachers all over the United States are going back to work this month (including yours truly!). I couldn't wait to …

CTMH For You

I pre ordered just a tiny bit from the new Close To My Heart Core catalog. Probably, like you, I like to thumb through the pages to get a better idea of what's available and I love CTMH's artwork. And then, of course, I also start to see wonderful ideas pop up on social media …

CTMH Teach Love Inspire

I am back at home (that doesn't necessarily mean my suitcase is unpacked yet! ha ha) and ready to play, um, stamp again. Since I "run" on coffee, I thought this would be a cute arrangement of Close To My Heart's latest stamp of the month. Teach Love Inspire is perfect for teachers and parents …

CTMH That’s the Tea

Close To My Heart has a really neat new tea stamp set! I love That's the Tea's bold images. You can find it in the new July - September catalog. My sister-in-law is a tea aficionado and so I couldn't wait to make her a card. She planned a wonderful birthday celebration week for my …

CTMH Backyard Bliss Digital Art

I run a long-distance Hostess club and we "meet" every other month. Here is one of the card kits I sent my members...in fact both cards featured Close To My Heart's Backyard Bliss Digital Art package. Can you believe that this card was already designed for me in Cricut? It wasn't quite just hit "make" …

CTMH Voices of the Sea

I started this card trying to CASE one of Amy Tsuruta's cards from last week. Well, it went sideways really quickly but I love the end results. To begin with, I sponged some Distress Oxide Inks onto some Ranger Watercolor cardstock. PSSSTTT! Close To My Heart will be offering these new black blending brushes starting …
