I used a great little stamp set from Close To My Heart for these cards. It's called "A Love", a set of 4 images that you can purchase for $9.25! So affordable!

Good Old Days Basic Grey

Just using up some older Basic Grey Recess~

I also used a Prima flower and Vine, Close to My Heart stamps and ink.

This layout is also created using a workshop kit. This is the Magnifique workshop kit. Included with the kit, you get a level 2 paper pack, exclusive stamp set, embellishments and a step by step colored guide with insrutuctions for 3 cards and 1 double page layout. You have LOTS of product left over to make your own creations!

Fall

I created this layout with the Olivia workshop kit, all the instructions and dimensions are included in a color flyer within the kit! Can't get much easier than that!

Happy Birthday

This card was inspired by fellow Close To My Heart consultant, Aaron Brown...check out her blog here
I loved the everything about the card. It uses CTMH stamp set "Take a Sip". Cute isn't it?

Magnifique!

The first three cards are made with the Magnifique workshop kit. You can see from my post below how incredible these kits are!!!!! Magnifique is truly one of my favorite paper packs!

This birthday card does not feature a CTMH stamped image, but I love stamping and coloring images like these!!!!!

The first 3 cards are made with the OLIVIA workshop kit. The Workshop kits that CTMH sells are so terrific! The come with a level 2 paper pack, EXCLUSIVE stamp set (only avaialble with that kit), embellishments and a step by step woprkshop guide. CTMH makes it so easy!!!!!
Aside from the instructions for the cards, there is a step be step guide for a double page layout. You also have tonnes of paper left over to create your own art!

I used paper from the Olivia paper pack and the "A Sip" stamp set for this card. This is an A sized stamp set, CTMH makes stamping so affordable, you can get this set of 8 images for only $9.25!

Snowflakes and Clear Cards!

You Are One Of A Kind! I used the Ice Crystals stamp set for this card. I random stamped the background and added glitter to all of the snowflakes. Did you know that Close To My Heart sells CLEAR CARDS? They come in different shapes and sizes. They are so much fun! I was able to run the front of my card through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder...adding so much COOL texture!!!

Thankful For You

It has been a long time since I have posted any new artwork. My heart broke on Oct 29 when my 42 year old brother suddenly passed away from a massive heart attack. So as you can guess, my mind has been elsewhere and my creative side has been at rest.
I was getting ready for bed this evening and, for some reason, went down to my craft room. I found this stamp that I had bought during a recent trip to Red Deer. I was compeled to stamp it and see how nice the image was. Next thing I knew, something came over me and out came the blending pen and Close To My Heart inks! It only took me about 20 minutes to make this card, but I feel so good about it! Maybe that little part of me is creeping back! So don't give up on me!!!!
Love, Carla
Main stamp image is a Sara King stamp, all other products are Close To My Heart.
