Introducing the Close to My Heart Spring and Summer 2014 Idea Book!

The time is finally here!

Today, we proudly unveil the 2014 Spring and Summer Idea Book!  Everyone is ready for warmer weather and longer days, and this is the perfect little step into Spring!  (Unfortunately for those of us in the midwest, we are getting HAMMERED with snow again!!!  Go away, Winter!)

There are SEVEN brand new paper packets in this issue!   Not only that, but GUESS WHAT!?  Close to My Heart now carries a variety of EMBOSSING FOLDERS!!!  I am so excited to get my hands on these!  (More about them below!)  Let me think...oh yes, PINK GLITTER PAPER, three new colors of shimmer trim:  teal and PURPLE sold individually and a beautiful gold sold in the Ivy Lane Cardmaking WOTG!!!!  I am just crazy excited about these new products, and cannot wait to show you more easy ways to use them.  You can view it on my website now!

If you would like a copy of the new Idea Book and are not local to me, NO PROBLEM!  Just place an order of at least $50 on my website and I will send you one completely FREE.  They are actually quite expensive to mail, as they have to go priority, so this would help cover the shipping for me.

Blue Christmas for Muse Challenge

Happy Halloween!  And now, let's jump to Christmas!  ;)

I am BACK in the challenge saddle!  I had a chance to goof around a bit after doing what I HAD to do today, and it was quite the cram session!  All the cards I made have a similar theme, but they have completely different FEEL.

The first one is for the current Muse Challenge.  The Muse card is by Janet Ribet...

Muse Card by Janet Ribet

I just love the cool winter color scheme she went with for her card.  Also, I happen to HAVE that embossing folder!  A plan began to evolve in my head, so I tried to get it onto paper just as fast!

You might recognize this design from an earlier Christmas card I made with these same Close to My Heart stamps, Tree Delights and Framework Alphabet.  I stamped them here in Crystal Blue ink before using my embossing folder over the image.

At the bottom of the card, I tore pieces of White Daisy CS and layered them into a snowy landscape.  I actually had a wonderful spool of trim to use along the bottom as in the Muse card as well. 

This star is from the Sparkle Holiday Shapes, a NEW item in our Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide!  I adore these sparkly outlines!  I noticed that the Muse card also uses some iridescent glitter, so I added some Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel to the stars on the tree.  A few Sparkles, and the tree was done!

I can't wait to show you my other two cards like this...the same, but different!  ;)
