Happy Heart

Heart Happy Workshop Kit (with Stamp Set) (CC2196)In amongst all the other specials that came out in December, the new Seasonal Expressions launch on January 1st and  National Papercrafting month is this beautiful paper collection called "Happy Heart" was released.  It is lovely and will be available until the end of February.

I have done a few projects with it and I am planning some beautiful layouts!  Here is a quick Valentine's Day Card that I created for my make and take for my open house a few weeks ago.

I know the card isn't "perfect," but I like that the stamping is a little off and my card has a few imperfections, just like love.



Happy Crafting!

A Berry Great Day

How is it March Break already??  Seriously, it feels like my son just had Christmas break like 2 days ago, and now it is March???  I know life has been hectic lately, but this is starting to feel a bit ridiculous. 

Along with the crazy busy days has been some crazy weather and today I would like it to feel like late Spring and not early Spring... so with that in mind, I picked up the super cute Berry Best Stamp Set (C1759) and the So Much Happy Paper Collection.  For the card design, I used this week's sketch from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, and I was inspired to create this very laid back, day out in the country Spring card.

I love the white daisy "cross-stitch" pattern on the lemon yellow paper, and the flower pattern is just too cute! I mixed them with Kraft Paper, and the colours just pop out at you. The Berry Best stamp set is adorable, the stamping of the strawberries and leaves onto the bowl was way easier to line up than I thought it would be.  This stamp…

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #321

A speedy card for this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  I bought the Party Balloons Stamp & Thins Cuts from CTMH with plans to use it in my Spring Card Workshop, and it got cut from the lineup due to "too many ideas and not enough cards!"  But it seemed like the right choice for this weeks AHSC.

Using the pretty watercolour striped paper from the True Love Paper Packet as my background I thin cut the balloons, string, bow and sentiment banner in White Daisy, Ballerina, Sage, and Mint cardstocks.  All stamping was done using Sapphire Ink.  A bitty sparkle for my bow and a few careful swipes of Clear Shimmer Brush on my balloons finished my cards.  I say careful swipes because both the Shimmer Brush and Sapphire Ink are waterbased which will make the ink run, so I only painted the cardstock and not the ink!

Close to My Heart really does make it quick and easy!  Thank you for stopping by, and I appreciate your comments, I hope I have inspired you to come to play alon…
