CTMH That’s the Tea

Just a really quick card this morning as I roll into the weekend... I used Close To My Heart's new set in their July/September catalog called That's the Tea. You can purchase it with or without the thin cut die option. I love that about CTMH! This week has been busy with setting up the …

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 …

CTMH Fresh Paint

It's been a productive (but exhausting!) weekend for me. This week we had carpets restretched and then I steam cleaned the carpets. That meant emptying the downstairs of all of my stamping "stuff".
