Welcome to the Close to My Heart

This hop I am following {Melissa Robinson's Blog.}   We have 20 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this Christmas Card Blog Hop. If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.      

This year has gone by super fast and Christmas is almost upon us.  It is time to make our Christmas cards and we hope that you will find some great ideas for your cards.

I really wanted to use our Beary Christmas Paper Pack (X7225B) for my card.  I love the reds and the greens found in this paper pack.

I also loved the card found in our Holiday Expressions Idea Book using the flamingo and snow globe, so I decided to recreate this card using Beary Christmas paper.

Here is my card.

See the cranberry shadow behind the snow globe?  I used the Two Tier Eclipse technique to add a little pizzaz to my card. I started out with the idea of cutting a word out with my thin cuts but was inspired by the Warmest Wishes Stamp set and thin cuts. (Z3385).  This is such a wonderful stamp set.  I used almost every stamp in this set making this card.  Love it!

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to show me a little love by leaving me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Wendy Kessler's Blog} and see what she has made with this adorable stamp set.

November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Through the Year

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month 
Blog Hop! 

    

This month I am following {Cat Nowak's Blog.}   We have 21 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.  

The November Stamp of the Month is entitled Through the Year (S1711) (Set of  28).   Here is a picture of this stamp set:

A few years ago, Close to My Heart retired their Event Calendar.  It was a wonderful product that had a page for each month where you could write in your family's birthdays and anniversaries - important dates that you want to remember.  They were awesome to give to new family members and I miss them a great deal.

I decided to recreate one of these calendars and am ready to show you the pages I have finished using this wonderful stamp set.  I also included the Adventure Fundamentals and the Whimsy Fundamentals in this project.  They are featured in our November Just for Fun Special.

Here are some of pages in my perpetual calendar.  We will be having another blog hop on the 16th featuring the November Fundamentals special so I will show you the rest of the calendar then.

I used a ton of different inks on my project.  I will include a complete list of products with my next post.

The November Stamp of the Month Stamp Set can be purchased for $17.95 or if you purchase $50 in CTMH products, you can add this stamp set to your order for an additional $5.  This stamp set is only available between November 1 – November 30, 2017.  

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to show me a little love by leaving me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Michelle Stewart's Blog} and see what she has made with this adorable stamp set.

Welcome to the Close to My Heart 
 Share the Smile Blog Hop! 

This hop I am following {Cat Nowak's Blog.}   We have 19 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this Share the Smile Blog Hop. If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.      

This month Close to My Heart is featuring a promotion called Share the Smile.  With the purchase of every Punny Pals stamp set, Close To My Heart is donating $7 of the proceeds to Operation Smile™. And, for this month only and while supplies last, you can get a coordinating set of Thin Cuts for cutting out the adorable animal shapes. 

Punny Pals Thin Cuts

Punny Pals D1751

Close to My Heart is also offering an exclusive card kit that includes the Thin Cuts along with card bases, envelopes, paper pieces, and instructions that you can use to create endearing cards that will sure enough bring a smile to anyone’s day!

Share the Smile Card Kit

For our blog hop, we are showing you other uses for the items in this promotion.  I chose to use the cardstock, thin cuts and stamp set to make these adorable cards.

Here they are a little closer up.

These cards were super easy to make.  I used a 2" x 2" cardstock square to mat my 1.7" x 1.75" White Daisy cardstock square.  It is hard to see but I did cut each little animal out with the thin cuts.  I popped the White Daisy square with Thin 3-D foam tape.  Each of the animals are colored with my ShinHan Markers.

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to show me a little love by leaving me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Janna Gray's Blog} and see what she has made with this adorable stamp set.
