Oh My Heart

Getting a little more crafting time in each day as I heal and go to physical therapy. Been working on some Valentine's day projects using the Oh My Heart Collection. This collection of Valentine's themed papers, stickers and stamps is perfect for showing some love this holiday.

I made the mailbox treat box for the care packages I am sending both of my girls in college. I used a template from the Artiste Cricut Collection by Close To My Heart to create the box and the Stitched Hearts Thin Cuts to decorate it. I was inspired by one done by another Close To My Heart Consultant, Angela Steinhoff.

For the layout and cards I used the directions for the Oh My Heart Workshop to create these. The Workshop creates has everything you need (except ink) to create one two-page layout, one single-page layout and 40 3" x 4" cards.

This collection is available through February 29th. If you purchase the Workshop Kit you can get everything you need at a discount of 25% off. Click here to see the whole collection.

I hope you enjoyed these. Thanks for stopping by.

All Around Creativity

Welcome to January and National Papercrafting Month. In honor of this month Close To My Heart has put together a special that features a gorgeous home decor wooden wreath. The All Around Creativity special has four kits to choose from - Be Kind, Create, Grateful and Stay Awhile. You can easily tailor the to reflect the design of any room in which you choose to place it. I had so much fun customizing my own version of this special.

Each kit comes with a sixteen inch wooden wreath kit complete with die-cut flowers leaves and an elegant paper bow for easy embellishment. Each kit also comes with 2 pieces of double-sided backing paper to help you personalize the wreath even more. The pieces are all die-cut shapes that are simple to punch out and assemble.

I customized my wreath by coloring it with our Charcoal Exclusive ink for some added color. Once the ink dried I used our Liquid Glass adhesive to attach the backing, leaves and ribbon to the wreath.

This special is so much fun to put together and there are so many options for customizing it to your decor.

The kits cost $34.95 each and will be available through February 29th but during the month of January if you purchase 4 or more in any combination the price is discounted to $24.95.
