So Many Cards, Stamps and Layouts!

May is almost over.....

I've been working so hard this month trying to get more cards and layouts done but I haven't updated my blog as much as I had hoped to so here I am, getting it done.

It might seem like time is creeping by since the COVID-19 stay at home orders but for me, it is going by pretty fast.  My kids are done with school, the triplets have had zero pre-school and I think we are all getting burned out for various reasons.  I have found that throughout this crisis, creating has kept me sane.  I honestly don't know what I would be doing if it wasn't for my Close To My Heart business and all that it has brought me.  I've always loved creating art, even when I was a little kid.  This is why I have been with CTMH for years.  It is my safe decompression outlet.  The amazing people I've met, the friends I have made, all of it has kept me going.  Thank you to all my customers too!  I love ya!

Do you need to find a good way to decompress too?   

I used the Pinwheel Thin Cuts Item Number: CC5204 to create this cute card.

The papers and  sticker sheet from Blue Skies Paper Packet Item Number: CC5206 came together in a nice bright card.  I added on some Christmas Red Stickles™ Glitter Gel Item Number: Z3555 to the strawberry sticker and some Golden Rod Stickles™ Glitter Gel Item Number: Z3560 to the sun shine sticker to make it pop!  Super fast to create and I love it! 

Last week I created along with the Facebook live Mother's Day layout event.  We used the papers and stickers from Blue Skies Paper Bundle 2 Item Number: CC5215 and the stamp set All That I Am Item Number: CC42014 from the Love of Mother special.

Here are the directions for cutting out your own layouts using any papers you already have on  hand OR you could order what you need right from my website.  The papers are a limited time only so get them ordered so that you don't miss out.

 

This layout was done using the Stitched Together Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet Item Number: X7257S and the Stitched Together Coordinating Cardstock Item Number: X7257C

Cardmaking Kit, Stamp of the Month & Consultant Opportunities

Aurora Cardmaking Workshop Kit

I hope all of you had a very special Mother's Day celebration.  I spent the day with my kids and husband.  For my gift this year, I was given a spot in the Virtual Album Retreat with Close To My Heart on May 15 & 16th.  I will get to spend two whole days creating a complete album, boy am I so EXCITED!!  Thank you family.

Today I want to talk about The Aurora Cardmaking Workshop Kit (G1205) which is so much fun !  I worked on the kit yesterday and was able to create 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs.  This workshop kit is full of neat elements.

You get the whole kit for just $29.95 which gives you a 10% discount.

Here is what is included:

• 1 exclusive stamp + Thin Cuts
• 2 Aurora patterned paper sheets
• 5 cardstock sheets (2 Glacier, 1 Sage, 1 Sapphire, 1 White Daisy)
• 1 Silver Glitter Gems (Z4191)
• 16 White Card Bases & Envelopes

The exclusive stamp set is very versatile.  The small stamp images are great for making borders as well as background designs.  I am pretty sure I will be using the little cloud stamps a lot this year!

The card designs are simple yet very creative.
