There’s no question that our current times are quite difficult. For some, it’s more challenging than for others. As cardmakers we have the ability to do something we love (create a beautiful card!) and send it to those in need to provide a little bit of relief to them.
Now is a great time to prepare for Mother’s Day and Close To My Heart has you covered! You can create personalized, hand-made artwork to show Mom just how much she means to you using these three *NEW* exclusive stamp sets designed specifically with Mother’s Day in mind.
Last week, I shared information about Close To My Heart’s April Special–Cardstock Carnival. Today, I wanted to share this 15-minute video that showcases the artwork shown above and walks you through creating the cheerful yellow card. You’ll learn some quick & easy techniques that I know you’ll want to try out on your own projects.
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE card pattern. This CityScapes Pattern is from our now retired Wishes Card Pattern Book. This is a great card design with the stacked look to it, but also because you can create 4 cards from just 1 sheet of 12″ x 12″ piece of cardstock!
Two days ago I shared Close To My Heart’s announcement that they were going to host an all-day FREE Virtual Craft Day to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. Since 1994, National Scrapbooking Day has always been the first Saturday in May–making it May 2nd this year. For many, going to a traditional all-day crop or other crafting event is out of the question. From basic social distancing to Shelter-in-Place Orders this just isn’t possible.
For the month of April, Close To My Heart’s special is all about our beautiful cardstock! Welcome to Cardstock Carnival where you can save up to 40% on cardstock bundles.
Today I want to share with you a couple of adorable (and easy!) Wooden Easter Banners that are available from Close To My Heart.

As soon as I saw the April Stamp of the Month, O-fish-ally Awesome, when the Close To My Heart March-April Catalog was released, I was super excited for it! And now it’s April–time to use this amazing stamp set. So many wonderful possibilities with it!
If you are a scrapbooker, you are no doubt taking photos, journaling how your life is changing day-to-day and creating layouts with both of these to document this time in history. Do you have albums to put these in? If not, now is a great time to grab an album or two! Close To My Heart just announced that they will be doing a sale on their Everyday Life Albums now through Tuesday. You’ll save 20%!
Things are changing rapidly these days. The world we once knew is definitely not the same. From day to day, things are changing so much. Friday my kids’ school was shut down for 3 weeks (and likely longer) and now today they announced starting at midnight we’re ordered to shelter in place, only leaving our homes for essentials like food or medical needs.
Close To My Heart’s March Special, These Are My People, is the perfect way to document all your special relationships with the people that mean the most to you.
Close To My Heart currently has this super fun Wooden Heart Banner Kit available. It’s called the Be Mine Kit. While it most definitely makes an adorable banner, I saw another wonderful possibility that I want to share with you today!
