A quick card I made using the Close To My Heart stamp set called A Tree. It is stamped on the Colonial White paper using Cocoa and Pear ink colors. The butterfly and saying are with the Lagoon color. I also inked the edges of the paper. The green polka dot paper is from the Dotty paper promo running through May. The tree is stamped twice to make it two colors. I then trimmed the green top and put it on with pop dots to make it stick up a little. The butterfly is also on pop dots.

Working on lots or projects using the wonderful Close To My Heart products!! Those who know me know that if I really love something you will never hear the end of it and I have to tell you I cannot say enough about this stuff! I am so in love with all of it!! The paper, stamps, ink, everything they have to offer! If interested in hosting a Gathering with your Friends please contact me! We will make a few cards or a card and a project depending on the size of the group. It is also a fabulous way to earn some free product and discounts for yourself!

The first picture is a gift box cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. It includes over 700 images!!! Fonts, shapes, cards, gift tags, boxes and multiple 3D items including the cute little flowers that are on the box! The set also comes complete with 3 stamp sets (exclusive to the set) and 3 sheets of Dimensional Elements!! Each new catalog will have new stamp sets that can be used with or without the cartridge.  The paper is from the Lucy collection and is so pretty!



The next picture is a card using the Lucy papers for the backround and Colonial White for the card base. The stamp set is exclusive to the Stella Workshop kit. The label for the sentiment was cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge. Add a few Sparkles on the edges to give it some bling!



The next picture is a card using the Art Philosophy cartridge again to cut the butterfly and frame out. The sentiment is from the 4 My Friend set using Sunflower for the ink color. Using the Lucy paper for the frame and Colonial White for the card base.



Finally two cards I posted the other day but I changed one up a bit. The stamp set is called Just for You. I again used the Colonial White paper for the base and the flower. The backround paper is from the Stella collection. I used Sunflower ink and added a button and a sparkle to jazz up the middle of the flowers. This set is so versitile with 3 different options for petals, you can mix and match or change colors, the possibilities are endless with this one!!!

I finally got to dig into my box of goodies from Close To My Heart!! I have to admit I have used a ton of different brands of stamps and I am loving these the most!! They are the best I have ever used! The ink colors available are to die for!! If anyone is interested in holding a Gathering with Friends to help earn some free product please contact me! Here is a sample of one of the projects that would be made.


There are 3 different petals to choose from. You can mix and match or just use one. CTMH carries My Acrylix stamps which are wonderful!! You can easily see where everything needs to be lined up. There are so many different variations you can do from just one stamp set!!
I have had a few requests for pricing so here is a general idea.

Cards: $2.50 to $3.50 depending on what is all on them.

M&M Tubes with Topper:  $1.00 each for up to 15.  $0.75 each for over 15.

Gable Boxes: $5.00

This is just a list of what I am asked for the most. There are many different projects I can do!
I recently found out I am going to be an Aunt again so of course the occasion called for a card!!
