The Cricut Kate's ABC's art cartridge inspired this adorable Easter card. Tough to do with the weather station calling for snow this week. I used the Close To My Heart acrylic stamp set EASTERTIME D1259 was used to make the inside sentiment 
"Eastertime is full of cheer it means spring is really here"

With all of the Pinks and Frills that a baby girls card demands....This elegant pink carriage card is inspired by Kaisercraft paper and the carriage stamp by Hampton Art. I love this card! So many aspects with ink shading and layers. A joy to design!

Reviving the retired stamps can be fun. This retired JRL Designs/Close To My Heart stamp set of the children's nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty has been sitting in a corner for much too long. With the help of blue cardstock and Close To My Heart Babycakes collection paper and embellishment assortment Humpty Dumpty is back together again in this adorable card. I stamped the inside with a phrase from the nursery rhyme and punched hearts to trim the inside matching the paper on the front. It is now ready to go!! Take a look around - I bet there are stamps that you have that you have forgotten about. Share them here!  I will be happy to post your designs.  Thanks for stopping by and Have a great day!!

The Close To My Heart Babycakes paper and cardstock collection has had my attention the last few days.  It is such fun paper with great colors and patterns. Tonight I made a couple of quick cards that are fun to do and easy to put together. Both are A2 cards. I had used Spectrum Noir markers on some stamped pieces (I love House Mouse stamps).  And I am having a whole lot of fun out of my new Silhouette Cameo!  I love it. My poor Cricut machines are going to get dusty I believe.

New Baby Jungle Train card  - I found this design in several places on Pinterest and fell in love with each and every one of them so I decided that I would make one.  I used the new BABY CAKES paper and cardstock collection from Close To My Heart for the background. For the animals I used the Close To My Heart WILD WONDERS stamp set C1558 and my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out before stamping them. I think the first one turned out really cute! There are a few things I will change for the next but it is true - "It's About To Get Wild Around Here"

This BABY BOY card was inspired by a beautiful set of Kaisercraft paper and a baby carriage stamp from Hampton Art. I was finally able to use my new Silhouette Cameo machine to stamp and cut the silhouette of the stamp to provide the dimensional look.  Kaisercraft has beautiful paper and I can't wait to make one for a little girl.
