Little Dreamer...with Sparkle!

How is it already June 6th???  Seriously.

OK, so I finally saw one of my BFF's to give her this FANTASTIC little birthday card...so I can FINALLY share it with you!!!

Isn't it just YUMMY?!?

I used a LOT of different toys to make this one...including my Sizzix Big Shot!  Did you know Sizzix is giving away a $50 gift card to their shop???  Yep!  You can totally get a Big Shot with that kind of dough! 

I will make a list of everything I used at the bottom of my post...

This is the die set I used in my Sizzix Big Shot.  It is from (shocker here, lol) Close to My Heart, Thin Cuts--Stars...

This shaker card was an absolute BLAST to make!

Here is my list of supplies...

Close to My Heart--
Thin Cuts--Stars
Little Dreamer Paper Packet
Sea Glass Cardstock and Glitter Paper
White Card Bases

Papertrey Ink--
Make it Market Shakers and Sprinkles Kit
Sparkle Die

I'm Ba-aaaaaaack!

OH my goodness, does it feel good to sit down and pull up my blogger!  How are you?  I MISSED you like you would NOT believe.  I literally just today finished bringing my crafty toys home to our new house...and I have missed this part of me terribly.  I'm feeling a little bit more whole right now and reaching out while I have the feeling.  Check out my new space before I started to unpack...

The FIRST things I unpacked were some of my favorite NEW Close to My Heart products!  Did you realize that while we were moving, a brand NEW Annual Inspirations Idea Book was released???  I know, it's just too much to handle!

I was finally able to get creative, and I have a real TREAT to share with you!

Close to My Heart is introducing a new feature in this Idea Book...the Color of the Year...Sea Glass!  It will be available in Cardstock, Glitter Paper, and Inks for the entire year!  :)

Cardstock

Glitter!!!

I used this color to create a simple thank you card along with the NEW Rustic Home Fundamentals Paper, Hearts Thin Cuts, and Thanks Thin Cuts.

How DELICIOUS does that Fundamentals woodgrain paper look!?!  An instant favorite for me.  And with these Thin Cuts slicing right through the glitter paper like buttah, you bet I am a HUGE fan!

A few layers of CS underneath adds some dimension to the cut.

I will be back next time with a great trick for maximizing your thin cuts!  See you then!  :)
