Last DAY for the Close to My Heart Cloud Nine Cardmaking Kit and Cross-Stitch Wishes!

Don't procrastinate any longer!  If you had your eye on this Cloud Nine Cardmaking kit, better get to it because after today, it will be history!  Stock is running out, so I guess it is a good thing, too!  ;)

Here are a couple more cards from the kit that I made...

The retail value of the entire kit that makes 10 cards AND includes three BRAND NEW full size products is $46, but you can get yours for ONLY $15 with a $35 purchase on my website HERE!

The Size D My Acrylix stamp set that comes with is a $17.95 value on its own!

Don't miss it, OR the January Stamp of the Month--Cross-Stitch Wishes!  :)

It is also the LAST DAY to order items on the RETIRING LIST!  Here is a link to my website page that lists all the stamps and other goodies that will not be returning in the Spring and Summer Idea Book.  Get them while you can!

I made this Valentine's Day card with the Stitched Together My Acrylix that is on the list.  I'll tell you more about the other stamp set I used in a few days.  :)

I also used it on one of my all time favorite cards HERE.

One of my favorite stamp sets is retiring!  The Universal Backgrounds set is really a must have on my list.  I use the woodgrain and script stamps all the time.  You can see the woodgrain on a card HERE

and a special project HERE

and a tag HERE.

The musical notes background is GREAT for Christmas tags like this one HERE.

There is even a burlap texture that I used on this quilted card HERE.

Better grab this versatile stamp set before it is gone! 

Last day in January--yikes!!!!

In Stitches at Heart 2 Heart

Ha ha!  I did it!  I used stitching on a card without stitching!  Did I loose you yet? 

Stay with me a little bit longer and I will show you!  Heart 2 Heart Challenges is having a Nip and Tuck challenge to get us all to incorporate some form of stitching in our project this week, so of course I am linking up.  Um, I feel like a stubborn 2 year old as I whine, stomp my foot, and say, NO, I don't want to stitch!  I papercraft--I do NOT sew!  My mother sews really well, but that gene seems to have skipped a generation.  So what's a girl to do? 

Stamp.  With Stitches!  ;)

I created a downpour with the Close to My Heart My Acrylix set C1459 Stitched Together.  The clouds are cut with my Cricut Artiste Cartridge and inked with Whisper a bit on the wispy/sloppy side. 

I used the Later Sk8ter Paper Packet for the plaid pattern in the umbrella...my favorite one in the pack!  

I made this sentiment using the C1494 Card Word Puzzle My Acrylix and the C1540 Hello Blooms My Acrylix.

I used a brand new toy for this card that I have been WANTING so badly to try.  It is a wafer die from My Creative Time.  If you look closely, you will see....MORE STITCHING!!!  I love it when a no-sew plan comes together!  ;)  Not sure if you can see it, but I also used a silver vinyl for the handle. 

So, about the time I was photo editing, I realized I had seen raindrop stitches before, but WHERE???  A quick glance back at the H2H April Challenges gave me the answer!  My crafty Diva friend, Jayma Malme had used hand drawn stitches in her DT example!  Go see it HERE.  LOVE!  Thanks for the awesome subconscious inspiration, Jayma!  :)
