CTMH Coffee Helps

I always start my day off with a big mug of coffee...and then take some to go too! Ha ha. I love this new stamp and thin cut die set from Close To My Heart. It's called Coffee Helps. I created this stenciled background on a Facebook Live video so this card came together quickly …

CTMH Florals & Flutters

How often do you dig, dig, dig into your stamp stash and pull out an older stamp set? I don't do it often enough, but I love when I have the chance to mix old and new products. First, you may too still have the "old" set I'm using, or it encourages you to look …

CTMH In Full Bloom CASEing Myself!

Back in April I made one of my all-time favorite cards...and it really was so easy since most of the stamped pieces were left uncolored. My Mother's Day cards came together quickly because I had stamped and watercolored a few of these little blossom clusters from Close To My Heart's In Full Bloom Scrapbooking stamp …

Woohoo! Calling all coffee lovers (and, yes tea lovers are welcome too -- but honestly, how can one exist without coffee?!?) for the Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers blog hop. Amy Tsuruta has done it yet again (and in the middle of a move -- how do you do it all??). This blog hop is …

CTMH Decorative Texture Background Thin Cut Die

One of the new dies that caught my eye in Close To My Heart's new May/June catalog is the Decorative Texture Background thin cut die. Before you ask, yes, all those little tiny specks are to pop out! I had a section that didn't cut through but voila - great spots to place my flowers …

CTMH In Full Bloom & Message In a Bottle

I am so happy with this card using Close To My Heart's In Full Bloom scrapbooking stamp set and the April stamp of the month. This special birthday card for my sister came about from leftover pieces lying out from my last card workshop. I like to cut multiples of the thin cuts, and CTMH's …

CTMH In Full Bloom CAS

Once again, I am taking inspiration from Close To My Heart's Picture My Life cards and another CTMH Maker! I don't have the PML cards but this was such a fast and easy card to create -- and the way my life has been lately, that's what I need! This card is the perfect way …
