Grateful Heart!

Burr!  Where did this cold weather come from?  It has been so warm out we had to turn the air on 2 days ago and now today it is so cold!  Well, I do live in Michigan!

So, in the scrap room, I have been playing with the Close to my Heart featured paper pack of the month which is Grateful Heart.  It is such a pretty pack and I absolutely love the complements that come with it.  Here are a couple of picks of it!

Don't you just love these colors?  I have just made a couple of cards so far but can not wait to do some scrapbook pages!  Here is the link to buy the Grateful Heart workshop your way!  You can buy everything separate but you really want these complements.

Here are the two cards I have made!  They are the same card but one is going to be used for a workshop and the Owl came from the complements pack so I only have one.  It will be a Birthday card for my Mom.

The sun flower comes from our Flower Market Cricut Cartridge.  Here is the link for that.

Our Cricut Cartridges are like no others!  700 images and they come with 3 stamp sets to coordinate with the cartridge!

The other products I used on these cards are:

The new decorative borders- https://paperdivas.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11369&ci=11668.

Pomegranate, Fern and Saffron card stock and our gold pearls.  Love those pearls.

I also used the October stamp of the month on the second card and the bunches of love stamp set on the first card.

I am going to enter the Owl card in this weeks Heart to Heart Challenge- http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/2018/10/holiday-expressions-2.html

I hope you have enjoyed this post and will come back soon to see what I am up too!

October SOTM Blog Hop

Hello!  This month I am participating in the October SOTM Blog Hop!  This is my first one so I hope you love what I have to show you!  We are using this lovely stamp set only available in October.  There are so many cute pages and cards you could use this for.

You should have arrived here from Miss Carrie's Creations.   If you get lost you can find the entire list of participants on Melinda Everitt's Blog.


I have made a card for my Anniversary and I based it on the idea in our Make it from you Heart, Volume 4 idea book.  Page 27!

 Everything you see stamped, inside and out is from the October Stamp of the month except for the "We are" on the inside which came from one of our Cricut Collections!

https://paperdivas.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=273.  You can see all of our How to books on this link.

The papers I used on this card are from the Boutique collection our new Peach cardstock and the Mink cardstock for the biggest Heart.  I also used the new Mink twine which comes in the Boutique WYW!  I also used our silver glitter paper and cut it in 1/8 inch strips.  The Hearts were made with two set of our thin cuts.

Here are a couple of tips I find useful.  When using your paper trimmer to cut thin strips, use washi tape to hold it in place and then so your not wasting adhesive, tape them all at one time.

The next blog on the hop is Michelle Johns.  I'm sure she has some beautiful art work to show you!

Hello Pumpkin!

It is October 1!  What do you think about in October?  It makes me think of leaves changing colors and everything Pumpkin.

This month at Close to my Heart, our featured Paper Pack of the month is Hello Pumpkin.  I started playing with it this weekend and it is so much fun.

I also started playing with all our new shaker products.  Here I combined the two and made these cute cards.

I'm going to enter this one in the Heart to Heart Challenge http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/2018/10/pumpkin-spice.html

I just love the colors in this paper pack.  Also the two stamp sets that go with it are so adorable.

 This Hello pumpkin card making set is available with or with the die set.

There are so many cute stamps on this set.  Just look at that ghost and Kitty!  

Here is a close  up of the card making set and thin cut dies!

These are the complements that come with the Workshop your way or you can buy them separately!

Here is another look at the paper pack.

These are the shaker supplies!  The die set comes with 4 thin cut dies.  Two for the shaker and two for confetti!  The circles that cut out for the confetti can also be used in cards or scrapbook pages.  They are really cute with the shapes cut out of them.

The shaker foam and acetate sets are a huge value.  You get six of each but then the rest of the foam is cut in squares for you to use as dimensionals.  

Now lets not the forget about the Stamp set of the month, Thanks and Giving.  I can't wait to combine all these supplies together and make something wonderful.  I'm thinking a scrapbook page that I will put pictures from Thanksgiving on it.  I haven't used the shakers on a page yet but I think I will today!  Make sure you come back and look for it!
