About a month ago, I shared the fabulous stamp set, Let’s Stay Home, that Close To My Heart designed specifically for what our world is going through right now. Well, a few weeks after, through one of their blog posts, they shared a couple of SVGs that coordinated nicely with this set and in case you missed it, I wanted to share it with you today.
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE card pattern. This Top Band Pattern is from our now retired Wishes Card Pattern Book. It’s a simple design and one you can certainly alter a bit as I’ve done here today!

We know that for many, crafting is a social activity. During these days where we’re all more limited in our ability to get together, you may be discovering new ways of connecting with others. As you master the art of group video chats, one thing that could help you feel even more connected with your crafting buddies is working on the same projects as each other—and our scrapbooking and cardmaking workshop kits are the ideal candidates!
We’ve been holding our Spring Fling Event for years now–always in person. But with the new Shelter-in-Place and social distancing, it’s making that a little tough! But never fear–we are making it happen! That means no matter where you live (well, anywhere in the United States), you can participate with us. Be inspired (we’ll have … Read more 2020 Virtual Spring Fling!
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE scrapbook layout pattern. This Sweet Symphony Pattern is from our now retired Imagine Layout Pattern Book. This wonderful design is perfect for getting a lot of photos on your pages.
During difficult times, it can be encouraging to have visual reminders of the things you love. Vision boards make a great DIY project for focusing your attention on the things that matter most. As you list out ideas and look through photos, you are sure to be cheered by great memories and by dreams that make your heart soar. Here are a few different ideas to help you envision what shape your vision board could take.
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.
Okay, exciting news for you today. If the news of Close To My Heart hosting an all-day event for National Scrapbooking Day was exciting for you, you’re going to be ecstatic for this next piece of news. CTMH is going to host a 2-day (yep, 2 days!) virtual scrapbooking retreat where you’ll complete an entire album on May 15 & 16 all as part of their celebration of National Scrapbooking Month!
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.
Today’s project is going to be a little different from our usual papercrafting ones. It’s a fun and fairly easy project to do in preparation for Easter. It’s a perfect project for both kids and adults. And the best part is that it’ll bring joy to both you and to the birds that find the eggs!
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE card pattern! This “Pretty Simple” Pattern is from our now retired Originals Card Program. It’s a great pattern that, like it’s name says, is pretty simple! But even though it is simple, it doesn’t mean you can’t dress it up a bit.
