Good morning!  Have you started thinking about Fall?  It’s already 83 degrees at my house and I am definitely looking forward to my favorite season and maybe some cooler weather! I decided to use some of my older Close To My Heart papers and some (sadly) soon-to-be discontinued Stamps Sets and Thin Cuts. 

For this card, I used the Zoe paper pack  and the Floral Delivery Stamp Set & Thin Cuts.  I stamped and filled-in the images with New England Ivy, Saffron. Goldrush, Fern and Nectarine stamp pads. I used my Cricut Maker to create the Welcome Fall sentiment and adhered everything to the base and added some Thin 3-D Foam dots to add a little dimension.

I will be adding some Fall Card kits in the next 2 weeks so be sure to sign-up to receive my newsletter, discounts and specials.  

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Bear Hug Shaker Card

Today I made this cute little shaker card to cheer up a friend. These shaker cards are so easy to make with the Shaker Window & Confetti thin cuts and the Shaker Window Foam & Acetate from Close to My Heart. Make sure to always use the Anti-Static Pouch too.

This card was made using the Craft On Paper Pack and the Coordinating Cardstock.

I created a standard 5.5″ x 4.25″ cardbase using black cardstock and then cut two strips using the floral and polka-a-dot design.  Next I cut-out my circle using the Shaker Window & Confetti Thin Cuts, stamped my sentiment and adhered to the card. I used Liquid Glass to attach the black circle frame to the completed shaker circle and then created the XO XO with my Cricut Maker. Quick and easy!

Don’t forget about the Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts! With 15 different stamps, the possibilities are endless! 

Until next time,
