Happy Birthday Dad

Hello!

Here's a card inspired from Pinterest - I used the Cruisin' WOTG stamp set (retired), Black ink, Diamond Plate embossing folder, Sparkles Assortment, Just a Number stamp set and You're the Best (new!).

Honeycomb Birthday Wishes

Hello!

I saw something similar on Pinterest and came up with these - they came together pretty quickly, using up scraps of paper, cut into hexagons with Artbooking (pg 66 @ 1-1/4"), arranged them, and stamped the sentiments with Card Chatter - Birthday (retired) using Black ink.  Easy peasy.  







Have a fabulous day!

Love You XO

Hello!

Today's project is a Valentine's Day card but could also be used as an Anniversary card ... I used Artbooking (I LOVE this cart!), along with the new Cardmaking Workshop on the Go, Lollydoodle.  I also used the now retired SOTM set from January (did you get yours?) Cross-Stitch Wishes.  Inks were Cocoa and Cranberry and Desert Sand.  I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  




Did you know that Close to My Heart now has Embossing Folders? They're a wonderful 5x7" size which will work in most embossing machines.

We also have a wonderful special this month only, which is great especially if you need to stock up on our wonderful cardstock ... when you buy two packages of selected cardstock, you'll get the embossing folder of your choice free! 




Have a fabulous day!
