A Pretty Nests of Winter Diagonal fold card from the upcoming Holiday catalog

August 20, 2024

Release of Close to My Heart products today!

If you didn't realize it, Stampin' Up! purchased product from Close to My Heart Earlier this year and have taken on any CTMH Makers that wanted to continue promoting stamping & scrapbooking products. In the future we will be offering a larger line of Scrapbooking products! This is great news for scrappers! Super Exciting!!

Before we get to today's project, I wanted you to be aware of some new products in the Online Store today. These items includes former Close to My Heart products that have only been available to CTMH customers until today. Know that these items will likely sell out fast as there isn't a large quantity of products.

See it all here.

And now for some stamping projects – I love everything about this card!

Save

It features a brand new suite called Nests of Winter which is seen in the upcoming 2024 Holiday catalog. We made it at a team meeting a few months ago and I shared it and two other cards on last week's Live video.

The birds & branch are from the Nests of Winter designer paper, as well as the birch paper too. So pretty! My large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies which are currently unavailable (for the umpteenth time!).

It's almost a fun fold; it's basically a standard Pool Party card that has the front panel cut off on the diagonal. The designer paper starts out at 4" X 5 1/4" and is cut on the diagonal for 2 cards. Tip – make sure you cut it at the right angle – from bottom right to upper left. (I did it wrong and wasted a piece)

Here's the inside view:

This die-cut circle is from the Deckled Circle dies seen here. They're available only in the Online store right now.

Below is the video for other projects in this suite as well as sneak peaks of all of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Catalog designer papers!

Autumn Garland Kit

I love this autumn garland kit! I made it for my open house display and am in love!

Save

I’ll show my own photos soon but wanted to share the video for it here. It took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes to make and it’s huge & gorgeous! I had many extra leaves left. The copper leaves and acorns add beautiful accents.

It comes with everything you need but hot glue.

You can see it online here.

Colorful Autumn Trees card with a baby wipe technique

September 10, 2025
Fall is in the air here in North Dakota. Look at this gorgeous & colorful autumn tree!

Save

It’s made with the new Autumn Trees bundle seen here. Here’s how I did the tree:
1. I stamped the tree onto Crumb Cake card stock using Crumb Cake ink.
2. Then die-cut it with the tree die from the bundle.
3. Next I inked up a baby wipe with fall colors of Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. I rolled it up and pressed it onto the tree die-cut repeatedly.
4. Lastly I used a Crumb Cake Blends marker to add more detail to the trunk.
Save

I used the Birch Wood embossing folder on the Vanilla background and lightly blended Cajun Craze ink over it. The greeting is from the More Messages bundle.

Thanks for stopping in today!
