CTMH Believe in Magic

Last year Close To My Heart unrolled the new VIP program -- where you earn "CTMH cash" to spend on your next order or save up for something big! It's kinda like Kohls bucks, I like to say (but you don't have to carry them around in your purse or pocket! tee hee). At the …

CTMH Holly & Ivy + Deer

Close To My Heart's Holly and Ivy paper pack is elegant and yet playful -- you get to decide which side of the paper you use! Once again I paired it up with a deer I cut from a CTMH / Cricut bundle. I shared here how I had to fiddle with this deer but …

CTMH Digital Collections

I've been really loving the new Pumpkin Spice Digital Art collection from Close To My Heart. You may be familiar with their partnership with Cricut...and that's still on going; but, they now have instant downloads on their website. These images are easy to ungroup, resize and everything else that you are used to doing. And, …

CTMH Holly & Ivy

I am so excited about this card! See that deer?! I cut it out from my CTMH Cricut bundle and figured out how to do it all by myself! If you don't already have a few deer images like I do -- then you are in luck! Close To My Heart has released new SVG …

CTMH Party Gnomes paper pieced

Another gnome card? Yup! I can't help it -- I've been really inspired by other Close To My Heart makers (aka consultants). This time Angie B.'s sweet paper pieced card made me dig through all of my Mix-In paper scraps to come up with my card. If you are not familiar with CTMH, they do …

CTMH Party Gnomes

You won't believe it but I have "resisted" the very popular Close To My Heart gnomes for almost a year now. I don't really "need" them, I told myself. Well, the Party Gnomes set changed that. They were so cute -- I couldn't resist. I think you will agree that they are a fun and …

National Coffee Day blog hop

Welcome to the National Coffee Day celebration!! You should be arriving from Angie Blom's Digital Designs if you are hopping in order. I don't know about you but I "run" on coffee and I'm grateful for all of Amy Tsuruta's hard work putting together this blog hop. This event is a little different than the …

CTMH Thoughtful Critters Make A Wish

I'm back with another cutie from Close To My Heart's Slimline Celebration and Thoughtful Critters. This little bunny with his happy birthday balloon is so cute. I used some paper from CTMH's Holly & Ivy (red and white stripes) paper pack and then a scrap from a retired Mix In paper pack. I created this …

CTMH Pumpkin Spice Thanks

You may be familiar with our collaboration with Circut and that is still continuing...but now you can do instant downloads that work on any cutting machine that uses SVG files. I'm really excited by this new option. This month has been a blur for …
