CTMH Grateful Heart PML Shaker Card

Oh my goodness!  There are so many other paper suites to play with, but I am stuck on Grateful Heart still!  It’s just too beautiful to stop.

I might need an intervention.

And here is a video that I made to show how I put my card together.

CTMH Grateful Heart Complements Cards for Joyful Stars September 2018

Hi!  Welcome to my blog, and my entry for the Joyful Stars September 2018 blog hop.  
If you have arrived here from Joyce's blog, Joyful Creations, you are on the correct track.

I would like to share a set of three Grateful Heart cards that are made with beautiful stickers from our Grateful Heart Complements.



 You might notice that the round wreath is made by curving one of the Stitched Border stamps on the block.  Don't you just love the My Acrylix stamps and their ability to change shapes?
I hope that you have enjoyed your stop here on the Joyful Stars blog hop.  Please hop along to see what the very talented Debi Brile has created for you over on her blog, That Might Look Good on a Card.

CTMH Just Treats Halloween Card


Welcome to September!  It is an exciting month for me, the kids go back to school, the cooler, drier air will be arriving shortly (so bye bye frizzy hair) and Close To My Heart has released a brand new Holiday Expressions catalog with exciting products!

This month, we are featuring the cutest stamp of the month set, Just Treats.  It spans the holiday seasons, but I decided that I needed to start with a little Halloween card.

The card features many of our new products, including:

and our fairly new:
and 
along with our Clear Shimmer Brush 
(to watercolor the candies with)
And, don't forget, Just Treats can be yours for only $5 during September 2018, with a qualifying purchase of $50 or more!  

CTMH More Magical Cards

Do you remember the More Magical Toy Story themed layout that I made a week or so ago?  
Well, did you also know that there was a CTMH workshop to go along with it?  It makes 4 double layouts and 8 cards!  I made the layouts, and set to work on the cards.  I was supposed to create 4 of each of two designs.  But, you probably know me well enough to know that isn't how it went!
Instead, I used my scraps to create 8 different cards.  The only thing that I added was a few clouds cut out of our CTMH Artistry Cricut Cartridge.
Oh, and the clouds on this one got a little bit of hard to see Clear Shimmer Brush glitter.  Funny, I did not notice the word dream all over the card above until just now.  Didn't see it when I made the card, and not when I photographed it.  I like it though!

This card, shown above, is one of the two CTMH designs.  I loved it, but wanted to see how it looked with other little bits of paper.  So the card below was created.

This card, shown above, was also one of the original designs.  I went a little crazy with the Journaling Pen accents though.  It might not have needed quite as much as I added lol!  The card below is a simple variation of this pattern too.
