Close To My Heart Christmas Shaker Cards - October Special

Hello friends!  I am excited to share with you today three CTMH specials for October.  The first one is a card kit with everything included to create 12 awesome 5 x 7 Christmas Shaker cards; including the assorted sequins packet which also includes stars.  I have created two so far; so you can see what they look like.  

I just love this card kit.  It is so bright and cheerful; which is how Christmas should be.  I love that everything is included and it really helps you understand how the shaker card comes together.  I was having issues trying to figure out how to make them from scratch.  I couldn't find dies that would cut out the right size holes, etc.  Now with the new CTMH Thin cut Shaker Kit and Confetti set; I can make Shaker cards to my hearts content.  LOL!   This is what I used on the inside of the cards.

Includes 12 card bases with envelopes, stickers, die cuts, acetate windows, sequins and a stamp set of sentiments and Christmas stamps as well.

As you probably already know this about me; I love bright bold colors; so I had to use our new CTMH Oh What Fun Paper Pack for the inside of my cards; but you can use whatever your heart desires for the inside of these cards; which are white.

Birthday Card Using Conie Fong "Puppy Cuddles" with Winter Wonderland Cardstock

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  I have tried to get some crafting in at least once a week.  I am starting to sleep a little off and on at night now.  It's like retraining my body to sleep, I guess.   I have never been able to take naps in my life and now I find I need to take them in order to make it through the day/night.  I have been exhausted this past 3 weeks.

Conie Fong "Puppy Cuddles" is a new digital image that she has just released.  I think you will love it.  It is a girl holding a puppy.  Now who doesn't love a puppy.  I had so much fun creating with this adorable girl and her sweet puppy.
