Card idea with embossing and 6x6 paper

 Happy Sunday everyone,

I am a little late with my Friday video, but here it is. A quick and easy card using an embossing folder and a special cut of 6x6 paper to get 4 cards out of one piece. 

Happy Crafting ❤️

We can always use “Thank You”, “Thinking of You”, “Birthday” Cards etc…so here is an example using up some of these scraps. Either to decorate the base of the card or cardstock scraps to create embellishments…..oh the possibilities are endless. Give it a try!

2023 June Card Project - Process Video 3

Do you love watercoloring as much as I do or are you intimidated by it? I love watercoloring even so these days I don’t get enough time to play around with it.

I know it can be intimidating to take a brush and put some color down without and outline or guide. But what if you can archive a very similar result with just a stamp set and plain cardstock?

In this video I will show you how our new “Cape Cod” Cardmaking Stamp Set works. https://claudiahenderson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=17951

2023 June Card Project - Process Video 2

Video Link: https://youtu.be/3W-riJ0ucO8

“Cape Cod” is the new Close To My Heart paper collection that is everyone’s favorite right now. I love the color combinations and the design of this paper. While we are not living on the ocean I am sure I will find some pictures from one of our vacation trips …and I think I can make them work for our lakeside adventures too.

Today I used the beautiful “Cape Cod” Cardmaking Workshop Kit (G1284): https://claudiahenderson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=17932

You get enough material to create 16 cards of 4 different designs. The stamp and thin cut set that comes with this workshop is exclusive and can only be bought with the kit. I think it is a great set to have because it gives you background stamps as well as phrases and some super cute dies.

While I only use one of the design papers, make sure to check out the other sheets too,…..so pretty papers. As I mentioned, this is a very popular set and if you want to get any of it, make sure to place your orders soon because I am 100% sure this one will sell out way before August 31st.

Speaking of August 31st, our new current catalog is back to a 2 month schedule. July and August will feature “Cape Cod” and “Cozy Up” and both of these collections are while supplies last and they will otherwise retire on August 31st.

You can see the new catalog online here: https://claudiahenderson.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-catalog.aspx
