Atlantic Hearts Sketch #73

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #73 was the perfect sketch to bring out the CTMH Circle Spin Cards.  I used the Yuletide Carol Paper Pack and the Merry Merry Holiday Stamp set (C1591).

Living in Perfect Harmony

I confess that sometimes I go over to the "Dark Side". By that I mean that I use stamps that are not Close to My Heart

My friend Patricia is a Stampin Up Girl and I have been known to browse her catalog now and then.  Although I love working with the Clear Acrylic Stamps that CTMH has, sometimes I like  a rubber stamp enough that I just have to have it! 

Here are a couple cards I have been working on this week.  The first one uses the CTMH Stamp of the Month in combination with an SU stamp in the background.  The second is SU with a CTMH sentiment. 

 
 
And one more.  Not my design, I saw this on Pinterest and made this one similar....

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #72

I used some old and some new Close to My Heart stamps on my cards I made for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #72..
D1618 Build A Cake
C1554 ChantillyCard Workshop
D1407 Piece of Cake
The paper is Confetti Wishes.   The CTMH papers are all double sided and I could not decide which side to use, so I made two cards. The inks used are Honey, Pacifica, Thistle, and Pear.

On the 3rd day of each month we will feature a different CTMH product and create a card, layout or other project. There are only 3 stops on this hop so it will only take a few minutes to hop through

This month we are using Stamp set #CC1030, 30 Years of Happy.  This is the Close to My Heart National Stamping Month Special.  You can get this stamp set FREE when you order $30 of CTMH stamp sets between September 1 - September 30.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #71

I started out using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch #71 as a guide for this card, but things somehow started to move around on me.  The sketch was still an inspiration and starting point for my card design.  I used the pretty "Brushed" paper pack by Close to My Heart and the  CTMH Hostess Rewards stamp "Better With A Friend". 


You can earn Hostess Rewards to get this and other Hostess Stamp sets by having a CTMH Gathering with product sales of just $150.00!

If you are in the WNY/Buffalo area and would like more information on having a Close to My Heart Home Gathering you can contact me through my Facebook page.
