Grateful Heart Featured Paper

Hello, Fellow Stampers Scrapbookers and Crafters,

You are going to love our latest blog hop! This is, in my opinion, the prettiest paper pack/collection of the Close to my Heart September-December 2018 Idea book.

I  love the rich colors fitting right into the fall theme.  Pomegranate, Sapphire, Glacier, New England Ivy, Fern, Saffron, Goldrush, Espresso, Mink, White Daisy amazing color combinations.

If you are following along from Erica Haskin You are in the right spot but,  you can also circle back around to Carol’s blog to make sure you don’t miss a thing!

I took a photo so you could see my creative process first I get all the papers inks and stamps out I cut things up and start creating projects. I just love to use my Cricut Close to my Heart collections. Today I used the Flower Market cartridge.

This digital collection:

Flower Market has all kinds of really fun flower cuts that can really add dimension and interest to your projects. See the pile of flowers? Yes, those really do stack up and make the cute saffron and gold rush flowers on the card shown here:

Using the floral paper:

Using the floral paper with the sapphire plaid back I made the little gift bag. This is a simple brown lunch bag folding down and reinforcing the edges adding ribbon and grateful paper to the front and back. Oh my, this saved me a trip to the store.

Next, I made another notebook/shopping list  like last months blog you can find here

Make from your heart:

When I made this card. I used Make it from your Heart volume 4 page 26-27 Pattern 11. I love having artwork tips and dimensions so I can quickly stamp up cards and scrapbook pages It helps with the stampers block or when you are really crunched for time but you want to make something special. I used out featured paper Grateful Heart and the coordinating stamp set found here 

Today I am tech challenged or the blog God is not kind. I am un-able to load these photos so please check out the link.

I need to make several more as I retired from my traditional job and my former co-workers gave me some awesome gifts and gift cards.  I better get busy!

Hop on over to Carol Loftus see what wonderful artwork my fellow CTMH friends have created for you!
